[3.0] Deadeye - Splitting Shock Arrow

Intro
This is my next HCH character. I wanted to make a ranger but couldn't decide on what skill to use, so I'm going back to old faithful, split arrow. I've played one before and it is really fun - and if done right, really strong.

I feel like shock is not really used much anymore due to it's nerf, but it is still very strong. This build will have a 40% chance to shock as an RT build (or more if you stick with a Lionseye bow).

It will be tanky, with IR + 200%+ to max life while still maintaining good clearspeed and being able to do nearly any map mod. Which is a goal I set for almost all of my hard core characters during creation.


Gems
Split Arrow + Elemental Damage with Attacks / Life Gain on Hit(Reflect maps) + Faster Attacks + Pierce + Innervate + Added Lightning Damage / Physical to Lightning

Barrage / Frenzy + Elemental Damage with Attacks + Innervate + Faster Attacks + Added Lightning Damage + Physical to Lightning

Wrath + Anger + Arctic Armor / Herald of Ice

Blink Arrow + Faster Attacks + Lightning Golem

Cwdt + Mirror Arrow + Immortal Call + Increased Duration


Tree+stats

Level 90

Poeplanner

205 - 208% max life.

Pick up the Chain Ascendancy first and the Additional Projectile one last.


Gear
You can use hybrid Evasion / armor gear since you pick up IR.

Pick up a Lionseye Glare until you can craft a better bow - but glare will do you fine for a long time. ***Make sure to drop RT keystone if you stick with this bow. It's a free skillpoint.

Ideally, you want a Belly of the Beast, but a high armor/evasion chest with HP and resist will work too.

Pick up some jewels that have life + Proj damage on them, if you have extra points for jewel slots.
Mess with the best, die like the rest.

Would you level as split arrow? What kinda of tree would you run for leveling?
Yeah, you can run split arrow at level 1 - it works great with a Pierce gem. Maybe pick up faster attacks and Elemental weapon damage once you grab an aura. That's how I'm leveling.
