I was using Chain/Deadeye last league and didn't find Fork to be that useful however this league i tested them both.

While chain seem to clear better it is slower. It takes more time for it to jump from monster to monster. This gives enough time for monsters to aim at you and shoot.

Fork however is almost instant. It forks to almost everything at once killing them even before they can even realise what happened.

This is crucial for survivability because you kill everything faster. Also you can move to new area sooner.

Fork reduced considerably deaths when i used it on maps that had tons of monsters. Also it feels much more fluid with the fast paced ice shot playstyle.

I think raider with always max frenxy/onslaught is more reliable than Deadeye.
It was annoying to loose frenzy charges to metamorph or boss fight and constrain build on certain areas to keep frenzy generating ability.

Huge chunk of DPS comes from frenzies so why not have them always.

There was tons of monsters in fully juiced up map with delirium and with fork deaths reduced to near zero.

Here the items, 5k health and pretty much steamroll everything.
Quiver is weak, gloves are weak, and Death opus... have not had time to craft something wonderful. Quality into attack speed enchant was not the best on the bow. Elemental damage would be more useful.

Life is more important than dps. Metamoprh 20 waves was almost deathless with 5k health vs better dps and 3.9k health when died constantly to something silly. So try find items that give both +dps and +life. ANy item that gives only one of them is not really suitable for glass cannon that we are.
In the skilltree i took "From the shadows" to have permanent phasing, so don't get stuck behind monsters and die. This allowed to have constitution on the amulet.

Skill gems can be upgraded to awakened, penetration support got rid of the rares monsters faster compared to damage on full life.
I had a plan to get awakened curse on hit and have two curses. This makes mapping even easier and 1 shot almost everything. Curse enemies with lvl 12 Assassin's mark constraints quite heavily when looking for good rings.

Triumphant Lamellar could be interesting path but i will not play anymore this league. Was thinking to include it after two curses are ready but this seems to take too much grind.
