[POE 2] Why am I going to play Tactician over Deadeye in The Third 'Addict' League + Leveling tips

Hey there,

Just dropping some thoughts on why i'm playing tactician next league regardless of tree or gem numbers. Deadeye seems to be top tier class but Tactician supports multiple build archetypes and mercenary has possibility to use both left and right sides of the bottom tree.

Projectiles pin and pin causing enemies to not being able to take actions means you can basically chain CC through your fights without any investment.

Tips for campaign:

1. Use mule and find camp in clearfell to get another skill gem in 1st map to use both contagion and disengage, then unlock frostbolts and explosive grenades on your main
2. Adhere early helps with clear speed as scatter shot grenades are more likely to overlap with it and land full kill instead leaving 10% hp monsters alive
3. Do Mud Burrows and Druid in Grim Tangle for extra support gem which makes act 2 and 3 more efficient later as support gems are scarce early on
4. Gold is how you upgrade your character, check the shop for crossbow, ms boots, rings and amulets
5. Throw explosive grenade in front of you and cast permafrost bolts behind you for easy pack clear (bit clunky in 0.2 but improved in 0.3)
6. Gas grenade + corrosion is too good to skip whatever you play

These are my POBs I concluded from tests last week:
