Gameplay
Here’s the core gameplay loop
- Hit enemies with static strike to get poison stacks going.
- Hit quicksilver and phase run or shield charge to run through packs.
- The agony crawler kills as you run around.
- If the crawler falls behind, re-up your static strike and/or use convocation.
- If you encounter a tough target like a boss, use molten strike and dodge any attacks you can’t tank until the crawler takes it down.
Skill Tree
Ascendancy
Profane Bloom, Malediction, Void Beacon (In that order. Don't worry about Uber Lab, it doesn't matter much).
Bandits
Kill All or help Alira for resists.
Pantheon
Crab dude and whatever minor node you like.
Passive Tree
Gems Setup
Herald of Agony + Pierce + Minion Damage + Vile Toxins + Damage on Full Life or Minion Speed
Enfeeble + Blasphemy
Static Strike + Ancestral Call + Chain + Fortify (+ Poison)
Molten Strike + Multistrike + Greater Multiple Projectiles (+ Poison) + Withering Touch + Ancestral Call (if you can get it)
Convocation
Shield Charge + Faster Attacks (+ Fortify + Poison)
NOTE: You could also fit in desecrate/spirit offering instead of fortify/poison on shield charge, but I don't think it's worth it.
NOTE: for Static and Molten Strike, if you don't use Mortem Morsu you need to add poison support through Elder pseudo 5 links.
Gear
Weapon
Fright Claw: This gives you chance to poison without elder poison supports so you can run molten strike and static strike on regular four links.
Shield
War Buckler: Whatever rare shield gives you the life and res you need.
Helmet
Lacquered Helmet: This lets you get a 5 link for your herald of agony. Alternatively, you could use a regular rare helm and the embalmer gloves.
Belt
Leather Belt: Poacher's mark gives you mana sustain and your crawler better accuracy and frenzy charges. Alternatively, you could get poacher's mark in that new curse on hit ring. It's pretty cheap.
Gloves
Silk Gloves: Temp chains on hit is good.
For all other items, just use rares that give you high life and resists. Get four links in the boots/helm/gloves and use them for molten strike, static strike, and herald of agony. Put shield charge in your shield(you don't need a 4L on it) and blasphemy enfeeble + convocation in your weapon.
This sort of set up should easily work up through yellow tier maps with any combination of mods. You may need to get gear upgrades to handle red maps.

POE Betrayal Deadeye Voidfletcher Build - Low Budget Viabe, Fast, Endgame
An ordinary Void Shot isn't especially impressive, it deals around the same damage as a typical unsupported skill, but since it's not in a socketed piece of gear you've no way of adding support gems to it, which makes it seem underwhelming. However, it scales extremely well on extra arrows, better than any other skill (barrage and molten strike included), because it's extremely easy to get the explosions to overlap
