POE 3.13 SSF Lancing Steel Deadeye Leveling

Bear in mind the whole leveling process was done with twink gears. It took around 5 hours from level 1 to 70 with all 3 labs done. Not the best/fastest but instead I'm playing in much relaxing pace and some afk and thinking about gem selection as I go. I'm not sure if it is good to play as league starter because generally attack builds require weapon upgrades every act/campaign so it takes extra little time.

I will briefly explain the leveling processes which include 3 sections: skill gems, gears and skill tree progression.

Skill gems level 1 - splitting steel - onslaught - chance to bleed - pierce. level 4 - use ancestor protector, dash and war banner. level 8 - splitting steel - onslaught - chance to bleed - pierce - maim - LMP. level 10 - replace dash with smoke mine. (precision and vitality at low level are totally optional here) level 16 - use herald of ash and purity. level 18 - splitting steel - onslaught - vicious proj - pierce - maim - LMP. level 24 - use sniper mark level 28 - replace splitting steel with lancing steel, and use dread banner instead of war banner. level 31 - splitting steel - impale - vicious proj - pierce - maim - LMP. (at this point I start using silver flask to gain onslaught buff) level 38 - splitting steel - impale - vicious proj - brutality - maim - chain. (at this point I have taken Ricochet as my first ascendancy node, but gathering wind is also another option if you prefer to walk faster and keep using pierce instead) Also using skitterbot now and drop herald of ash since we are now dealing pure phys with brutality.

Gears level 1 - 2x readbeak, goldrim, tabula, wanderlust, 2x blackheart, lochtonial caress. level 5 - karui ward. (anoint with diamond skin is the better and cheaper option) level 6 - 2x screaming eagle. level 20 - belt of deceiver. level 22 - 2x praxis. level 28 - 2x lakishu's blade. level 30 - thief torment, the magnate (if you have 200 str with it). level 44 - rigwald charge. level 51 - terminus est.

Ranger leveling skill Tree: https://pastebin.com/PK383g20 Starts with all the projectile nodes and path through Primal Spirit, then Finesse. Move straight away towards Duelist area, take Art of Gladiator, Fury Bolt, life nodes, move forward to get all the impale nodes. After switching weapons to sword, start taking all the nearby sword nodes on duelist bottom left corner area and ranger bottom right corner area. And fill up some life nodes too to get 1k life asap. After start using two-handed weapon, take all the nearby two-handed nodes with duelist area as well. The rest is progress endgame skill tree that I haven't finalize yet, here's the initial draft I have in mind right now: https://pastebin.com/QMXHM0JS.
