poe 3.25 Dead Eye Build: Nerfed but Still Strong for POE Expansions

The 19-hour SL hit of the spectrum dead eye build has been nerfed, losing around 35-36% DPS due to Far shot and Tailwind damage reduction.

### Updated 19-Hour SL Hit of the Spectrum Dead Eye Build
The build has been nerfed in the latest league, resulting in a 35-36% decrease in DPS due to the loss of 30% more damage on Far Shot and 4% of Tailwind. However, the build remains strong, with new weapon enchantments more than making up for the nerfs in the end game. The updated build now uses tornado shot for better Legion clears, and despite the nerfs, it is still highly effective for various activities in the game.

### The Impact of Patch Changes on Character Build
Berserk's movement speed and damage reduction are crucial, and losing them will be detrimental. The uncertainty of the Rage skill's future in the next patch raises concerns for its use. The provided leveling guide and transition to a critical build offer valuable insights for effectively navigating the changes.

### Tips for Affordable and Effective Character Gear in Path of Exile
Rat's Nest is a cost-effective option for the helmet, but other helmets can also be used based on preference. The rest of the gear should consist of standard rares, focusing on life and resistance. Consider using Inertia for an easier gear setup, and later replace it with Lethal Pride. The MXL setup is ideal for a character with 20-28 hours of playtime, and the Phantasmal Bow is expected to be more affordable this league. For the chest, either Fossilized or Shadow and Dust gloves can be used, and Inspired Learning is recommended only for Legion content. Adjust the skill tree if not using Inspired Learning, and for the final setup, focus on cluster Jewels for a well-rounded character.

### The Effectiveness of Dead Eye in Path of Exile
Dead Eye characters excel in various types of content with their high speed and damage output, making them great for delirium, mirror, and legion expeditions. However, their main downside is the lack of defense, which makes them struggle in tier 17s where they can easily die without significant investment. The gem "Elemental Hit" is recommended for its higher damage, especially in worst gear, while "Lightning Arrow" has better area of effect for clearing. It's advised to swap to "Mana Forge Arrows" when starting Legion content and adjust the skill setup based on the progression, with the option to switch to "Tornado Shot" for the end game setup, including a potential "Herald of Agony" swap.

### The Benefits of the New Tornado Shot Mana Forge AR Mar Archer Setup
The new setup offers increased speed and a more consistent damage output, with the option to use Death Rush or Taming. It provides a strong coverage for Legion and a mini shotgun effect for dealing twice the damage to the boss. The setup is highly recommended for both clear and single target damage, although it has slightly less defense than the previous setup.

### Changes to the Bow Build for the New League
The build has lost life regeneration and FD, now relying on Auto Exertion, which affects defense. The Warden version offers more damage but may feel slower and less powerful than the Dead Eye early on. The build may not feel optimal, but with some adjustments, it can still be viable for bow enthusiasts in the new league.
