After playing similar variants over the last few patches I've worked on a White Wind Helix Deadeye for this league. This build only has a bunch of rares with spell suppression, elemental resistances and attributes to cover int/str requirements. An exception are the gloves which have 2 of the most impactful eldritch implicits which you should be able to consistently hit while naturally progressing your exarch/eater quest line.

If you tick off the flasks the config drops to 4.5Mil/33k Max Hit which is still very respectable.

The PoB has a couple of points allocated in QoL nodes, adjust this to your need and drop some points of those while you are lower level.

Leveling with Helix is also very smooth, with a helix-added cold-onslaught three link, adding inspiration, then later nightblade as you get a 5l and crit nodes and pathing towards key nodes, in the meantime adding Heralds, the Auras, Mark on Hit, etc.
