Struggling with Pinnacle Bosses on Lightning Arrow Deadeye – What am I missing?
Hey guys,
I'm having a hard time figuring out what’s going wrong with my Lightning Arrow Deadeye. I went for a build focusing mainly on resistances and crit multiplier. My base damage without buffs seems decent, but I’m really struggling to kill pinnacle bosses.
The biggest issue I’m facing is that I run out of mana long before I manage to bring their HP down significantly.
Looking at my setup, it feels like I might have missed something important or made a big mistake somewhere.
If you need more details to help, just let me know in the comments – I’ll gladly share whatever you need.

Just a quick glance at your stats.
Crit chance and crit damage are woefully low.
I can't really garner much else from this. I really recommend going to poe2ninja and stalking someone else's LA build.
Or pivot to boss killing deadeye with glacial lance or wind serpents fury
Not sure if this build is viable for pinnacle bossing tbh chief.
I played that build last season, or a variant at least. For all the bosses thst dont dont go down quick, you needed the theifs torment ring for mana and swap it in for t4 pinnacle bossing.
LA anit a great bosser tbh, last season there was orb of storms cheese but i think it was nerfed.
high level skill have more damage but also cost u more mana u need to find a good way to sustain it
-"Mana Remnants" its spirit gem that give u mana when u critical
turn off herald and swap it when fight boss.
-mana regen and skill cost reduce on skill tree (mana regen is good if u have high mana pool)
-Inspiration support gem also good (not sure if u already use it)
You should tech in that spirit gem skill that has bonus damage + culling against bosses. Works wonders
Theif's Torment -> Cast on Shock / Ball Lightning
If focusing on crit multipliers its probably best to buy a decent Tangletongue. I roughly followed fubguns build and im 2 shotting T3 bosses with wind serpents fury. I just use lightning spear for mapping.
A carry
Missing a lot of info but based on what you shared..Crit chance is very low, what’s your bow base crit? You want to be around 40% at the very least before you even account for supports like Ambush (clear) or Pinpoint Critical (bosses).. Also your lightning pen is very low, pinnacle bosses have max lightning res so you are probably tickling them.. The Beacon of Aziz or Choir of the Storm (which I am currently using) take care of that without skill point or support gem investment, the latter needs high crit chance though.. Hope this helps!
CoS w BL + Barrage w inhibitor gem + Orb of Storms + rare/unique passives should melt them unless you're undergeared. 94k LA ain't bad. Running Snipers Mark or Frenzy charges?
Look up Fubgun Lightning Arrow Deadeye his build should solve any issues in yours if you compare
Played a ton of LA Deadeye. Like a couple of people have already said, you should increase your crit chance and crit bonus. You'll need to switch around your passives and buy new gear (e.g. a bow with increased crit chance is mandatory), but after doing so your DPS should skyrocket. Ideal would be around 40+% crit chance with 600+% crit bonus
you’re missing .1
Have you used the tornado w/ over abundance support to proc lightning rod with la ? It shreds you can get like 20+ procs a second
Youre missing a 0.3 update
Skill issues
I don’t know if you have any free slots and I don’t know the efficacy of it in high tier maps but there was a mechanics showcase a couple days ago using chain on la (specifically for bossing because otherwise it gimps your damage.) in conjunction with tornado shot and barrage to almost instantly proc all of the blasts for the rods. Been using it in campaign with shit gear and been blasting bosses pretty easily. But like I said I don’t know how it performs later on
