Lighning Arrow in 2.1

Hi there,
I wanna know if with the new upcomming patch ( 2.1 ) there will be changes in passive tree or gear that can hurt players in Standard Using the Lighning Arrow + Voltaxic Rift build if so , what changes? what gear? and what passive tree should i use or what i need to respect.

This is my build so far using a guide

Guide im using : https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1396515

i know this is a Hardcore guide for Tempest League while ago , but um using it in Standard since i was moved to a non-season.

Voltaxic Rift is getting removed from the game. Better start looking for a new build to copy.

As someone who is also refining his LA ranger build, i was wondering on the source for this... i've been looking around and didn't find any information on it being removed, could you elaborate please?

The trolling is real.

The item is not getting removed. This has never been confirmed via any source. Happy hunting in the new league.

There will be leech nodes in the tree, that work for ANY attack damage. You can grab 2% life and mana leech with one cluster easily.
Considering that, Voltaxic actually becames obsolete, because using Windripper will grant far more DPS, and still providing you with life and mana leech (previously, Voltaxic could leech with Hungry Abyss jewel). Being immune to reflect isnt really important cause reflect got nerfed to hell.
You will probably want to use Windripper in 2.1 for your build as main weapon, and maybe use Voltaxic as secondary weapon for reflect maps, Atziri, etc.
That's what i think about it.
