Manni's Tornado Shot Deadeye Ascendancy, Bandits & Pantheon Powers (PoE Necropolis)

Ascendancy Breakdown

Deadeye offers amazing bonuses for Tornado Shot such as Speed from Tailwind, additional Arrows, Far Shot and even Projectile Speed on the small nodes.

Our Ascendancy Passives are chosen in this order:

1. Gathering Winds for a very noticeable increase in Movement and Attack Speed. Our high Attack Speed allows us to ramp up the Gale Force stacks very quickly.
2. Far Shot is a very consistent 60% Damage Multiplier for Tornado Shot because secondary projectiles, which are the largest portion of our damage output, inherit the distance that the primary projectile has travelled and therefore usually gain the full 60% Multiplier from Far Shot.
3. Endless Munitions grants us two additional Arrows, greatly boosting our clear coverage but also our single-target damage output.
4. Ricochet allows our secondary projectiles to chain an additional time, improving our coverage against large crowds of monsters. The 30% chance for projectiles to chain from walls can act as a damage boost in indoor areas because secondary projectiles that normally missed the target gain a chance to chain to the target after all.

“Deal with the Bandits” – Choice

For the Bandit Quest choice, we have to make a very hard decision on helping Alira or killing them all.

Alira’s 20% Crit Multiplier and 15% to All Elemental Resistances are very hard to beat with two passive points because our budget does not include powerful unique Jewels such as Forbidden Flame, Forbidden Flesh and Ancestral Vision. A more expensive version of Tornado Shot would need the passive points to allocate more Jewel Sockets.

I will leave this choice to you as they are both completely valid. Remember that you can always change your Bandit’s Favour at the cost of 20 Orb of Regret by using a Book of Reform.

Pantheon Powers

Remember to upgrade your Pantheons with Divine Vessel and the required maps. Typing the name of the relevant boss into your Atlas search bar will highlight the map they inhabit.

Major Pantheon

Brine King is our choice for the Major Pantheon to avoid being stunlocked to death. The upgrades on this Major Pantheon also grant us Freeze Immunity and 50% reduced Effect of Chill on our character. Since we are not going for Ailment Immunity from gear on the budget level of our build, this Pantheon is mandatory for Freeze Immunity.

Minor Pantheon

The Minor Pantheon is flexible and can be adapted to counter certain content or map mods.

• Our default option is Soul of Garukhan for 60% reduced Effect of Shock as well as Blind and Maim immunity once upgraded.

• For maps with Physical Reflect, we can take Soul of Yugul to run a map that would otherwise be unrunnable. Will not work for Elemental Reflect (unless we add additional sources of reflect reduction).

• When running Searing Exarch influenced maps, an upgraded Soul of Abberath for “Unaffected by Burning Ground” can be very helpful.
