Skill Tree

Ascendancy

Avatar of Veil (Phasing) + Avatar of Slaughter/Chase (Frenzy/Onslaught)

Frenzy path is default. Reliable, standalone, easy to gear up. Always start a character with it.

Onslaught path is very strong end game option. Best used for pure mapping, but it still works great against end game bosses. Slightly more expensive, optional, lvl 90+ only. 

Bandits

Help fine

Pantheon

Major God: Soul of Lunaris

Nuff said, straight up has the best synergy with the build. Others barely do anything except few specific cases.

Minor God: Soul of Shakari OR Ryslatha OR Garukhan

All three of them are pretty good, but my personal favorite is Shakari. Having full ailment immunity simply feels great. Use it only if you upgraded it.

Passive Tree

Gem Setups

Main Skill

Color: GGGGBR

Caustic Arrow - Void Manipulation - Swift Affliction - Vicious Projectiles - Concentrated Effect

6th Link

Damage on Full Life OR Empower lvl 3/4

Your primary damage setup. First 3 support gems have no real downsides and should always be included in the build. Conc Effect and Damage on Full Life have downsides, which one you prefer is up to you (i recommend first one). Empower has no downside but requires level 3 or 4 to be worth using. Costs a lot of money or time.

In case you feel that your damage good enough, you can use Greater Multiple Projectiles for clearing instead of Swift Affliction.

Wither Totem

Color: BBRR

Wither - Faster Casting - Spell Totem - Increased Duration

Free 90% more damage against bosses. Place the totem and let it do the work. It also slows their movement speed, so keep that in mind against some bosses.

Cursing Setup

Color: GGBB

Frenzy - Greater Multiple Projectiles - Curse on Hit - Despair

Use it to curse tanky rares, bosses and whenever you need to refresh your frenzy charge duration.

CWDT Immortal Call

Color: RRR

Cast when Damage Taken lvl 3 - Immortal Call lvl 5 - Increased Duration lvl 20

Standard CWDT setup. Immortal Call is useful against random bleeding from bosses / lab traps. Not a mandatory setup, but very much recommended.

Aura

Grace / Vaal Grace

Grace gives huge amount of addtional evasion. Vaal Grace allows us to cap Dodge / Spell dodge, and is best used during abyss/breaches/harbingers etc. Vaal Grace can be linked with CWDT Immortal Call setup for longer aura duration, it will not trigger automatically but still benefit from Increased Duration.

Movement Skill

Blink Arrow

These are the only mandatory gems, and we still got 5 free gem slots. How you fill the rest of them is your choice. 

Gear

Weapons

Quiver

Armour

Helmet

Boots

Gloves

Flasks

Jewels

Notes: Mana on Kill is bad, makes it impossible to use Divination Distillate. Aim to have ~160 strength and intelligence, so you can use lvl 20 gems. You wanna cap elemental weakness (113% with MF flask)
