is this 3.3 viable?

It's still exactly the same as 3.2. It does everything it used to do, but the overall power level of other ascendancies and buffed skill has kind of moved past this build.

Deadeye Version wich works

Hey, two questions:

- I've seen some molten strike builds use ancestral call for single target, since you can aim away from the enemy and have your original balls, as well as the ancestral call's balls hit the boss. Is that not worth it? Or why haven't you gone for it here?

- In 3.3, as a league starter, is raider the best choice?

This guide is old and not updated, that's pretty much it.

No, which is mostly why this guide isn't upgraded. Any of Ascendant/Deadeye/Champion is probably better.

why are your gems not the same as the ones you post under that? there is no explanation. could you please help

I was experimenting.

This build is alive once more. Updated for 3.5.

Things to explore :

Soul of Arakali upgraded with Blood Rage + cwdt-IC for increased leech

Curse on hit assassin's mark on herald of ice for even faster map clearing with perma power charges

Vaal lightning trap instead of frost bomb


Blade flurry should be green in the gem setup btw. Nice guide, you should update the tree to what you're using, it's better than the one in the post imo. ;)
