▹Precision aura effect + flat cold damage - boosts accuracy and crit for Lightning Arrow's hit-based scaling

Build Overview

Bow-based elemental build that fires Lightning Arrow for wide-area coverage. Stacks flat elemental damage from gear and auras, then Deadeye's projectile and accuracy scaling turns every arrow into screen-clearing AoE lightning.

Key Requirements
*
Lightning Arrow - Build-defining bow attack - hits enemies in an area with lightning damage on each arrow impact
*
Wrath - Core flat lightning damage aura - directly scales Lightning Arrow's base hit
*
Hyrri's Ire - Flat cold damage to attacks plus evasion - adds base damage that Lightning Arrow scales and provides Deadeye's preferred evasion defence
Synergy Groups
Hyrri's Ire+Prismweave+Thunderfist

Hyrri's Ire adds flat cold, Prismweave adds flat fire/cold/lightning, Thunderfist adds flat lightning. Lightning Arrow converts and scales all these flat sources through Deadeye's projectile multipliers for massive combined output.
