does the increased dmg from deadeye apply to casutic arrrow? from my testing, caustic arow gets no bonus from the dmg increase. it does the same dmg if i cast it in front of me or at the edge of the screen. maybe its because my dmg is to low to see a difference, but maybe some of you tested it already?

As far as I know, the cloud does not benefit from the damage, only the damage from the actual projectile.

It does work with frenzy though, and caustic is for the 50% pierce chance and additional arrow.

I've been checking different guides and Serleth has a point here:

"

There's a difference between the way Ranger's Far Shot, and Scion's Far Shot (which is part of the Deadeye Scion) is worded:

Ranger: Projectile attacks (aka, "projectile attack damage", which does NOT scale CA ground damage)
Scion: Projectiles (any projectile, aka "projectile damage," which scales CA ground damage).

This means that Ranger is inefficient because to get to Endless Munitions, you need to go through Far Shot, which does not scale the CA cloud damage in the Ranger version of Deadeye.

Hence, Scion. -15% chaos res to cursed enemies = multiplicative damage boost, AoE from +arrow, 30% increased damage, etc.

Ranger only gives you +arrow and 30% increased damage.

11,5k dps now, but the damage from deadeye is still unnoticeable. but maybe im just blind, curse+vlt+wither totem also dont seem to do much :D

amt at 4.5k life, capped resi, and 9k tooltip dps, 11.5k with frenzy. lacking 1 frenzy and some life nodes + the last lab. rocking the hidden potential route with a +2 gems bow and a lvl 18 poison arrow. it feels like this is even more powerfull then it was a few months back when everyone was running it :D

Thanks for your great guides. I currently play the Deadeye/Trickster version.

The passive tree links don't work anymore, could you update them, please?

From a min-max perspective would you say that Occultist would be the optimal choice after getting Deadeye?
That -15 chaos resist to cursed enemies + 20% dmg boost from recent kills seems epic.
