Lightning Arrow Ranger Deadeye, Lvl 91, struggling T15+ Bossing and Defense

I see 16 wasted node choices in your passive tree. You could easily put those points to better use.

Here's a version of your tree with 8 points leftover. https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/wy98701g

Like other comments have stated you need a better body armor. If looking for a hybrid evasion/es look for one with 1000 evasion. If pure evasion find a 2000 evasion one.

Subterfuge Mask is a good notable to take if you stick with an es helmet but if you decide to use Atziri's then obviously avoid it.

Spectral Ward is pretty strong especially because you pick up 3 hybrid evasion/es nodes on the way to it. With it every 1000 evasion on your body armor equals 83 es.

I think you should buy a cheap against the darkness jewel that has an extra cold damage affix. These can be bought for around 6 div. With Kiterunner, Storm Surge, Storm Swell, and Unbound Forces allocated you'll get 16% extra cold damage which will make freezing enemies a lot easier. You could potentially remove Pressure Points and those 3 small nodes to use elsewhere.

Lightning Rod converts a lot of its damage to Lightning so I would recommend Close Combat over Heft.

I would also offload Innervate from Lightning Arrow to one of your Heralds and replace it with Heft

It looks like your prioritizing Rarity on your gear which is fine but just know you're paying extra for less powerful equipment. Increased rarity is usually the last thing I'll get and it's a luxury. I can easily hit 100%-200% rarity with waystones, instilling, and atlas passives with 0 rarity on my gear.

Your chest piece is really bad on defences.

You can afford 1000/400 with 200 life and some res. I would avoid a 50 spirit chest piece, just turn off cast on shock unless you're bossing.

Switch your hat for atziris disdain (those are super cheap), or if your staying with a pure es hat, you want to pick up the notable that gives 2 evasion per 1 es (I forget the name but it's on the horizontal line between monk and ranger start).

When you're struggling like this, even in its not 100% complete state, PoB is a huge help.

Not mentioned yet, but all your dex travel nodes should be converted to int to take advantage of the flat lightning damage from HOWA. Since you don't have Falcon Dive (correct decision), you're not benefitting a ton from the extra accuracy from dex travel nodes. I can't tell if you've got a 3 or 4% attack speed per dex HOWA but it shouldn't matter.

The flat damage on your quiver is pretty decent. I was running a bow with more PDBS than your bow and I went to widowhail and added about 30% more damage. They're not expensive. The flat cold on your bow is nice but do the math - even a 240% widowhail would bring you to 300% bonus from quiver which is more than your current bow and quiver combined. Same for projectile skills and etc. Just a bummer the dex is so low but whatever. Try it.

And giving a thumbs up for the guy that linked you this more efficient tree. Its way better than yours: Level 91 Innervate Deadeye

What annoint are you using?

You are a Deadeye, Kill or Be Killed

I’m hybrid right now and feel really squishy

your combined HP pool is about half of what i would consider bare minimum for a proper build, i'd start there.

You cant be "full evasion" if any hit oneshots you.

Just follow Fubgun's guide "End Game" variation for tankiness.

TLDR Atziri's for more ES, stack DPS/stats/res on rings and slap Ingenuity on belt. Switch to Thief's torment on bosses for mana sustain. Rest just stack the right stats and ofc ES.

Grim Feast and Ghost Shroud provides good protection as well.

I recommend es life build follow the one of fungun u wont die anymore

You need to maximum energy shield % on amulet ideally as it adds a lot.

Would stick with ES/EVA build. If you care about dying, you need to build differently.

Get a 2.5k EVA chest. Take the passive point that gives energy shield per evasion on chest.

Get 450+ energy shield helmet. Get the 2 evasion per energy shield on helmet.

Get many passives with energy shield on. Follow bowabow Chinese guy build maybe. Use grim feast.

DoNT use acrobatics.

This gives you 5kES, 10k with grim feast. Just under 2k Health.

You won’t die. If you have a lot more currency there is also a blink version but that uses 1-2 mirror of gear.

I struggled with this generic bow build and shifted to Crit based lightning ranger. I no longer suffer.

I don't see Orb of Storms in your list of skills - do you use it? The bossing approach is to equip Thief's Torment, drop Orb of Storms, and spam Lightning Rods. The on-hit life and mana on the ring will generally keep you alive until the boss is dead, barring getting one-shot.

How do I get better at bossing and rares? Pack clear is good but I struggle with damage against bosses compared to my other poison conc. Sit there spamming lightning rods but it's taking forever

High Energy shield helmet plus the node that adds 2 evasion per 1 energy shield on helmet, then equip a big Evasion or eva/ES chest or Morior with %global defences and whatever. Then boots ES or ES/eva Cap resistances on any equip. #eva on equipments is VERY good. Then when you reach like 80 eva you can go acrobatics

atziri's disdain and swap all the evasion nodes for the ES/Evasion nodes at the beginning of the Monk passive tree. Then get a decent ES/Evasion body armour. That feels mandatory once you get to red maps.

How do i import my char at maxroll?

Double your energy shield and evasion and cap your resistances imo

Anoint patient barrier. That + Grim feast overcap should almost be enough to survive occassional normal mobs hit.

I know about two different variants of this build: Fubgun’s and Eravin’s. I’m currently playing Eravin’s build: https://youtu.be/-rkAcmX00lc?si=ZGphgJXhEdAb8X70

Eravin’s is full evasion and there are a few other techniques he uses for defense. It’s great at both clearing and bosses as well as Rituals & Similacrums.

Maybe the video linked above can give you some ideas even if you don’t change your build?

I think you could benefit from a lower tier ingenuity here (60%ish effect), and ring upgrades with more flat damage (phys/cold/lightning).

It will greatly increase your cold DPS by doubling your ring effects, which will help proc your freezes more reliably on rares.

I struggled earlier and it’s really when you can’t kill or freeze rares quick enough. When you have 2-3 running around, stunning / freezing / whatevering you, you die very quickly.

I still have to slow down on inc ailment threshold maps bc the monsters are much more difficulty to freeze. Similar difficulties with high level simulacrum / super juiced Deli maps. But everything is super smooth when you have enough freeze.

I agree with other suggestions. Only other thing I might add is prioritize + to projectile skills over rarity. Rarity is useless if you can’t stay alive. Get +5 on bow, +2/3 on quiver, +2/3 on amulet.
