DEADEYE:
--------

CHAIN PATHING

50% inc proj. damage
30% inc proj. speed
20% attack speed

### NOT as good for LA as one might think


GMP/AOE PATHING

30% MORE damage from targets at max range (?)
20% accuracy rating
20% projectile damage
20% AOE
200 accuracy
+1 projectile

### Best combined with Fast and Deadly

PIERCE PATHING (1Node)

~100% pierce chance on melee
~100% crit chance on melee

Chin Sol Drillneck Trapper?
COC?
Nulls Poison Builds?
Poison builds (Scale with Proj damage?)
2 "power charges" on full pierce builds

Powerful Prec + Farshot + Fast and Deadly

up to 160% proj damage (with drillneck)
60% inc damage otherwise
up to 30% MORE damage

FRENZY PATHING

(+1 frenzy charge)
30% evasion
36% frenzy duration
** 16% movementspeed
** 28% attack speed
** 25% attack damage
** 4% more damage

### decent
### Better with 10+ frenzy charges
### Easy to sustain
### Better for early endgame
### Not too great

ONSLAUGHT PATHING

Chance to gain onslaught (20%, 3 sec)
20% inc damage.
10% attack speed
30% evasion
** 30% MS
** 30% IAS
** 20% inc. damage
** 25% more melee evade
** 15% more ranged evade

--> Magic find windripper builds?

--> LA material

## High uptime with the new onslaught
## With onslaught flasks >>> Frenzy pathing.

### The best one if frenzy charges not used for frenzy attack or similar stuff
### Less defensive than phasing tree
### Good Melee tree
### Good LA

-> Best combined with phasing on kill

PHASING PATHING

* GGG told that Phasing will increase Dodge/Spell Dodge by default

8% MS
30% evasion
6% dodge
20% phasing on kill

** 10% spell dodge
** 20% MS
** immune to status ailments while phasing

IF Phasing gives 10% dodge/spell dodge -> OK
IF Phasing gives 20% dodge/spell dodge -> Strong
If Phasing gives 25%++ dodge -> Insane

--> Hardcore Vinktar????
--> Melee orientation

Unshocked Vinktar!
No need for anti-chill/freeze flasks!

### Insane survival
### MAYBE even combinable with block/spell block for an "unhittable build"
### Hardcore material? (with evasion/block and a good pool, decent)
### Vinktar bonus

-> combined with onslaught on kill
