Leveling

 

Tips

Use Split Arrow until level 18.

Then use rain of arrows until level 70, when you'll start using ice shot.

 

Main Skills

1. Burning Arrow: the first skill you get is Burning Arrow. Use it until you reach the first town. There, talk to Tarkleigh and pick Split Arrow as your quest reward. Keep Split Arrow with the Momentum support gem. When you complete the "Mercy mission" quest, get Pierce as your reward. Now replace Momentum with Pierce.

 

2. Level 8: you can also support your Split Arrow with Maim.

 

3. Level 16: activate Skitterbots and Herald of Purity for more damage.

 

4. Level 18: replace Split Arrow with Rain of Arrows. Also, replace Pierce with Vicious Projectiles. And add Faster Attacks.

 

5. Level 38: replace Faster Attacks with Brutality.

 

6. Level 70: start using Vaal Ice Shot with the 6-link setup. Also, create your Artillery Ballista setup for more single-target damage. When you start using Vaal Ice Shot, replace Herald of Purity and Skitterbots with Herald of Ice, Determination, and Precision.
