Lightning Arrow Deadeye Progression Framework
A PoE2-specific planning framework for a mobile Lightning Arrow character, keeping Skill Gem support capacity, weapon upgrades, clear coverage, and focused damage as separate decisions.
Improve the bow, attack consistency, elemental projectile scaling, and support selection. Measure clearing coverage and focused damage separately.
Use range and movement as active tools, then support them with a real defensive baseline. Do not assume a mobile character can ignore resistances or recovery.
What the setup is trying to do
Build Lightning Arrow around supports that are compatible with its current role. More support sockets create capacity but do not choose the right supports for you.
Maintain a deliberate focused-damage option rather than stretching the clearing setup into every role.
Use movement and control tools to maintain favourable range and avoid treating damage as the only progression axis.
Gear priorities, not shopping commands
Compare bows by the complete damage package and attack usability. A higher-looking isolated modifier can still produce a weaker weapon.
Use the appropriate tier of Jeweller currency only when there is a real compatible support ready to occupy the added capacity.
Maintain life, resistance, and appropriate defensive layers while upgrading damage.
Build it in stages
Choose supports that function with the current skill and available capacity.
Compare real damage and usability rather than chasing one modifier name.
Spend Jeweller currency only when the additional support has a defined role.
Keep defensive upgrades current as mobility and damage increase.
