[3.26] Explosive Concoction Deadeye

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
  • Does not need to rely on a weapon

Build Cons

  • Does not scale well at all

Helmet

Rare Helmet

For mapping, look for rare helm with high life, 2 resistances and spell suppression.

For leveling, Thrillsteel is a great option.


Body Armour

Carcass Jack

Carcass Jack is a solid mapping option for the build.

Before buying it, tabula or corrupted rare 6-link works well.


Gloves

Rare Gloves

For mapping, look for gloves with high life, resistances and spell suppression.

For leveling, Shadows and Dust with Rampage is great.


Boots

Rare Boots

For mapping, look for rare boots with high life, 30% MS and resistances. Suppression is a good bonus, but expensive in combination with mods above.


Left Ring

Rare Rings

On our rings, we are looking to cover missing attributes, and cap accuracy in addition to getting high life.

Elemental damage with attacks is a good offensive mod to get on the rings if basics are covered.


Right Ring

Rare Ring

Same idea for both rings.


Amulet

Rare Amulet

On amulet, look primarily for +1 to fire spell skill gems in combination with life.

Resistances / attributes / accuracy are great to have on top.


Belt

Rare Stygian Vise

Look for your standard rare stygian vise with high life, resistances and elemental damage with attacks.


Offhand

Rare Shield

Look for rare shield with high life, resistances and spell suppression.


Jewel

Watcher's Eye

Jewels are more late-game options in this build.

Look for brutal restraint, as it has various nice bonuses as the first one.

Later on, Attack damage while affected by precision is a great upgrade.


Flask

Flask Setup

Build uses following flasks:

1) Life flask with instant recovery & bleed removal.
2) Sapphire Flask
3) Topaz Flask
4) Quicksilver Flask
5) Jade Flask
