I wanna see how you guys feel about the beach gems as a locked build.
Let's vote what class is the best to start with, in a "purist" type of way.
The ground rules are that your single and aoe dps must be your starting gem, forever.

You can use any mobility gems you want, but only for mobility,
so no mirror clone trap or leap slam builds allowed for example.
In case you forgot, here are the gems:

Marauder - Heavy strike
Templar - Glacial hammer
Witch - Fireball
Shadow - Viper strike
Ranger - Burning arrow
Duelist - Double strike
Scion - Spectral throw


Drop a vote, a short description of your choice, build, and reason why.

Spoiler
I would either do a RT splash Marauder,
crit GMP ranger, or coc scion. Duelist,
shadow and templar being my least likely choices,
fireball witch could be ok.


Definitely Burning Arrow GMP Deadeye with Chain +1 Ascendancy. I don't think the others can compare. Even with the newly buffed Fireball.
Burning Arrow would struggle with single target.
