Best Ascendancy for Projectile Builds
DeadeyeRanger · 7 nodesDeadeye (Ranger) has the most ascendancy nodes about projectile builds: 7, among them Endless Munitions, Mirage Deadeye and Far Shot. Next: Tactician (3), Spirit Walker (2) and Amazon (1). 5 of 22 ascendancies have at least one such node. Counted: nodes about projectiles, arrows and bolts. Patch 0.5.5, from the game files.
A count is not a damage number: one notable can matter more than four small passives, so each row lists the nodes it counts. Pick the ascendancy, then read them. Abyssal Lich is left out: its nodes are in the files but not on this patch's passive tree.
