1. foil Reach of the Council / double-legacy Reach of the Council
2. legacy Reach of the Council
3. non-legacy Reach of the Council with +1 Arrow Quiver
4. Lioneye's Glare with GMP / non-legacy Reach of the Council with LMP

2.5

Legacy-Reach vs. Non-Legacy-Reach:
Spoiler
above T15 video is with Legacy-Reach, but map is enfeebled.
so un-enfeebled without Legacy-Reach would be the same dps as in above video.

recommended Items/Gear/Uniques:
Spoiler
Uniques:
• Reach of the Council
• Drillneck
• Doedre's Damning
• Kaom's Heart

even cheaper Items/Gear/Uniques options:
Spoiler
• any rare or unique bow instead of RotC (have to use either GMP or split arrow then)
• any rare or unique quiver instead of Drillneck (not recommended though)
• any other way to get +1 curse instead of Doedre's Damning
• any rare or unique chest instead of Kaom's Heart

levelling tips:
Spoiler
• use split arrow and a lioneye's glare until you have a reach of the council (this way you don't have to use gmp)
• if you want, you can use tabula rasa until you have a 6L (recommended sc only)

Bandits:
Spoiler
• either skill, skill, skill (my choice)
• or life, attack speed, frenzy charge (possibly more efficient, but optimal tree has almost no spare Points

best blasphemy-curses:
Spoiler
1. temp chains
2. projectile weakness (more dps than vulnerability, no high int-requirement, knockback)

curses for hardcore:
Spoiler
if you want:
replace proj-weakness with enfeeble (beware of high int-req) or warlords mark

flasks (recommendations):
Spoiler
• saturated eternal life flask of staunching (to counter blood rage between packs)
• chemist's quicksilver flask of adrenaline
• experimenter's jade flask of heat
• atziri's promise

last flask:
• either chemist's silver flask of grounding
• or ample stibnite flask of grounding

5L vs. 6L:
Spoiler
if you only have a 5L (and don't want to use tabula rasa):

• either scrap void manip or slower proj (didn't do the math; both options should be near identical in dps)
• or use Cospri's Will instead of Kaom's Heart (second ring then whatever you want) and scrap poison support

(snakebites are annoying ^^)

Lightning Arrow (LA) vs. Tornado Shot (TS) vs. Barrage
Spoiler
• either LA for map-clearing and Barrage for single-target
• or TS for both

even more insane dps version (recommended sc only, but still 6k-7k life):
Spoiler
• Cospri's Will instead of Kaom's Heart
• then Ming's Heart instead of Doedre's Damning
• and faster attacks as 6th link instead of poison support

• silver flask instead of stibnite

15k dps is completely unbuffed.

buffed ~ 40k dps (mostly chaos) with LA.

equals ~ 60k dps (mostly chaos) after projectile weakness.

then up to 50% more dmg from point blank.

then add poison.

and then 75% more poison dmg from temp chains.

Skill tree is shown in the linked video.

While I am acknowledging that some players prefer written information over videos, I also like the idea of Path of Exile being a game of opportunity costs. Opportunity cost of my build guides is that you get all relevant information, but you will not necessarily being spoon-feed with this information. :)

If this is not sufficient for you, I'm afraid that you have – at least for now – to look for another build.
then why did you post on forum ? leave the youtube video and delete this. No1 has time for your crap, we just want to see items, links, and skill tree. sounded intresting, but after i read your post i even reported your video on youtube. i hope it gets down.
Really don't understand why you wouldn't want to show your skill tree in a build guide.... I mean you spoon feed all the other info.
