Intro & build description
This explosive concoction deadeye is one of the top leveling builds in 3.26 and is specifically designed to be able to get to endgame as quickly as possible, without being a strong boss-killer.
One of its main selling points is that it doesn’t rely on any weapons as explosive concoction is an unarmed skill and can function with practically no investment. At the same time, the build doesn’t scale with investment, therefore we only use it for leveling and to get to endgame maps.
Before using explosive concoction, we use poisonous concoction and burning arrow.
Build Pros
- Top 3 leveling build for rangers
- Can do T16s on a shoestring budget
- Fast clear
