lightning arrow is a good starting build and there are lots of guides on how to build one.

Check out my LA build: 1782214 | |

You'll probably be better off with tornado shot. Lightning arrow severely lacks in single target dps which makes boss fights a pain.

" Tornado shot is not a good skill for a beginner IMO, it requires a pretty high level of skill to aim it well. For a beginner, use lightning arrow on packs, and barrage or shrapnel shot for single targets unless you can use frostwall well. Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea:

If you want a very fun and safe build, go with a Templar into Hierophant, allocating the Ritual of Awakening and Sanctuary of Thought ascendancies and Ancestral Bond.
Summon Raging Spirit + Spell Totem + Minion Speed + Minion Damage + Melee Splash + Melee Physical Damage. While YOU don't do damage, you can have four totems summoning piranhas that chew threw enemies. No damage invesntment from passives or gear required.
WARNING!
I haven't fully leveled this build yet, so I'm not sure how it fares against end-game content.

" I disagree about any crit bow being a good beginner build. In fact, I disagree about any crit build being a good way to start playing the game for beginners. They all require fair amount of knowledge about gearing up (and fair amount of currency too) good sense of balancing offence and defence in the skill tree, and when life based they usually are glass cannons Imo, currently good beginner starting builds are: -earthquake juggernaut, slayer and bersersker are also very good options -elementalist flameblast or firestorm -bladefall in any shape or form -life based blade vortex -life based essence drain Last edited by raxleberne on Jul 25, 2016, 5:54:07 AM

" Mind showing the gear and tree for that? For try, for see, and for know.

" I was aware. The guide isn't quite updated, which is why i was asking. Still, i figure that it's probably your boss-pwning lightning arrow pierce build, just with a marauder start. Personally I'll be trying out reach(once I can afford it) on inquisitor, probably something like your own :D That is too say if I can afford reach before it gets too expensive. Man I hate starting late in leagues. For try, for see, and for know.
