The Lightning Arrow is a staple Skill for anyone who enjoys the Bow playstyle. It fires a fast Projectile that releases Lightning beams upon Hitting an Enemy. Is it an exceptionally good Skill to quickly deal with hordes of Enemies, but the Damage against Bosses can be quite lackluster if used alone. Fortunately, you will have two other Skills to help with that. First, you will want to deploy a Lightning Rod that strikes nearby Enemies when your Lightning Beams reach it. You can also use the Tornado Shot to create a Tornado that sucks in nearby Projectiles and releases them in a Nova.
Furthermore, you shall include the Snipe Skill in your arsenal. It is a Channelling Skill that causes you to gather your strength into one powerful blow. When fully charged up, it guarantees a Critical Strike with an additional Damage bonus. To ensure a successful Hit with the Snipe, you will probably want to use the Electrocuting Arrow too. It sticks to your Enemy and makes it much more likely to inflict an Electrocute, which locks them in a place for a short moment.
The Deadeye is a straightforward Ascendency for Bow users. You will shoot additional Arrows, which enhances your Clear Speed and potentially allows for more overlapping effects. It also removes the Accuracy penalty at long distance. The extra Speed improves your Damage but also makes it easier to dodge incoming Attacks.
It is currently a Build prediction for the upcoming Path of Exile 2. We will be working hard to update it with the verified and tested pieces of information as soon as possible!

You should keep your distance away from your Enemies to ensure your Tailwind rarely falls off. Use Lightning Arrow to kill large packs of Monsters. Deploy Lightning Rod and Electrocuting Arrow to take down tougher Enemies. Once only one Enemy remains, charge up your Snipe Skill to deal large amounts of Damage.

Main Skills |
Lightning Arrow - converts 40% of Physical Damage to Lightning Damage Hits up to 2 additional enemies near the target. |
Snipe - Channel to charge up your Bow before releasing a powerful shot. Releasing the moment you fully charge causes the arrow to explode on impact for a guaranteed Critical Hit. |
Utility Skills |
Lightning Rod - fire an arrow that drops from above, creating a Lightning Burst. The arrow remains in the ground, and any chaining Lightning Beams can chain to it. When chained to, the arrow releases another Lightning Burst. |
Tornado Shot - fires a skyward shot that whips up a Tornado where it lands, dealing Physical Damage over time and Hindering enemies standing in it. Attack Projectiles you fire at the Tornado are sucked into, causing the Tornado to spit out a nova of matching Projectiles |
Escape Shot - leap backward and fire an arrow that can Chill or Freeze Enemies around the location you escaped from. |
Voltaic Mark - Marks a target, making them more susceptible to being Shocked. When the Marked target dies, a Lightning Nova erupts from their corpse. |
A proper Bow and Quiver is the most important piece of Gear. You will want high amounts of Added Damage, bonuses to Elemental Damage for Attacks, Attack Speed, and Critical Strikes. Thanks to the Deadeye Ascendency you don't need Accuracy. For defense focus on maximum Life, capping Resistances, and Evasion Rating.
