************CREDIT TO GRIMRO FOR THE BUILD AND INSPIRATION! HE DID A FANTASTIC JOB WITH THE BUILD!!!!!! I want to note that I took a a ton on inspiration from him for this league starter and swapped a few things around to my liking.
If you want to check out the variant from Grim and the way he is doing things his channel information can be found here:

This POB is designed for a League Start scenario to get you through the campaign and into maps! This is the build I used in testing before I made the swap to Deadeye and had gear. This was able to help push me into late yellows 
and early red maps in a SSF scenario. This build will excel with gear found off trade if you go that route. Extremely SSF viable - I PERSONALLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FOR HARDCORE BUT ASSUME IT CAN BE DONE.******************


I FULLY PLAN ON EXPANDING THIS BUILD - CHANGING IT TO A CRIT TREE - FLUSHING OUT SOME DETAILS FOR THAT AND EVENTUALLY SWAPPING TO TORNADO SHOT! I AM NOT THAT ADVANCED YET TO FULLY BUILD THAT TREE
SO AS I GET GEAR ON MY LEAGUE START I WILL STREAM THE PROGRESSION AND MAKE CHANGES ACCORDINGLY

ONCE I HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT I WILL MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT THE CHANGES AND WHAT TO DO / NOT DO AND HOW I DID IT / MESSED IT UP SO YOU AVOID THOSE MISTAKES.

If you want to see all the changes / swaps / updates my profile will be public and I will be streaming the whole thing at Twitch.tv/Travic

If you over level an act and have extra points just goto the next act in the skill tree! Do not sit on extra points (I know one of you is going to sit on points and not know its ok to go further in the tree *cough cough twitch chat*)


BUY AN INT AMULET FROM THE VENDOR ASAP!!!!!!!

We use Haste as our Aura because we want to go FAST AS HECK BOIIIIIIIII

*******VAAL LIGHTNING ARROW IS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IN POB SO I CANT INPUT THAT SKILL IF YOUR LOOKING AT THIS EARLY , THIS WILL BE UPDATED TO REFLECT SWAPPING TO VAAL LIGHTNING ARROW*************

*****NOTE*******
YOU ONLY NEED TO LEVEL PRECISION IF AND ONLY IF YOUR ACCURACY IS LOWER THAN YOUR TOTAL LIFE POOL FOR PRECISE TECHNIQUES

Note For Leveling! I used Galvanic Arrow until the Swap to Lightning Arrow when I hit a four link! You can choose to level Rain of Arrows when you hit level 12 instead. Both skills are very good! 

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE WITH LEVELING YOU WANT TO KEEP UP TO DATE WITH THE DAMAGE ON YOUR BOW! HAVING MORE DPS ON YOUR BOW WILL INCREASE THE OVERALL LEVELING EXPERIENCE YOU WILL HAVE.
You want to make sure to upgrade your bow every act/other act with either essenses, picking them up off the floor, crafting on an elemental damage to compliment a bow you find. Just overal like with any other class keep up with your weapon. 
I have done many a runs clearning the campaign with a 200 dps bow and a quiver from act 1-2 on stream. While it is still doable in the under 5 hour mark finding a bow to increase dps just feels better and makes gameplay way smoother.

Socket coloring with gear - Blue sockets can be rather difficult to maintain (atleast in my experience) while I recommend using FrostBlink this is a personal prefernce movement skill. It is much easier to socket in Dash and use Dash. 
The combination of Blink Arrow -> Dash is pretty good and if you want to go quicker and lose some damage you can take the Blink Arrow CDR mastery though I personally do not.

The int and strength nodes I take are only for the campaign and leveling, once you sort out your gear you should not need them. Only take them as needed

Act 1 - I mention to take to take Primal Spirit early for early access to Int/Strength and mana regen. These nodes are great! In some runs I grab them early in some runs I grab them later. I always see myself needing them in every run by the time I hit 
act 4. Usually you can take them whenever and be ok. I prefer going towards Aspect of the Eagle and Heart of Oak before Brutus and Mervail just to help with the damage.

Act 2 - Bandits - Kill them! <3 skill points

Act 3 - TAKE THE INT AMULET FROM THE REWARDS!!!!


FOR AURAS NOTE THE FOLLOWING -

IF YOU NEED MORE RESISTANCES USE PURITY OF ELEMENTS 
IF YOU NEED MORE MOVEMENT SPEED USE HASTE
IF YOU NEED MORE DAMAGE USE WRATH

COMBINATIONS OF AURA I SUGGEST

ADVANCED PLAYERS (ailments dont scare me im a big poe player) - Wrath + Haste
Mid-Tier (I hate you ailments dont freeze me daddy) - Purity of Elements + Haste
Lower Tier (THINGS DONT DIE MORE DAMAGE PLEASE) - Purity of Elements + Wrath

For me personally I will be more then likely doing Purity of Elements + Haste or Haste + Wrath , In my testing I only had Herald of Ice into Haste and it went great. My bow and quiver though was above average so that carried

Act 4 / 5 - We swap off Galvanic / Rain of arrows when we get a 4 link for Lightning Arrows - until then DO NOT MAKE THE SWAP
4 green is ideal for the lightning arrow swap but I included other link combinations incase you dont find 4 green and want to make the swap right away!

Act 6-10 skills and notes - You can add on LifeTap to artillery ballista instead of faster attacks if you have have mana issues. The same goes for Lightning Arrow once you feel comfortable enough to put it on LifeTap do it 

For Act 6 I like fully swapping chain into my setup and did a few test runs on stream with it. Chain felt amazing and the extra projectiles bouncing around felt like more dps and better clear in the long run. You will be using
Artillery Ballista for your single target so that wont be an issue and you will clear multiple screens with chain.

I took the Strength and Int nodes because in my SSF play through I ran into problems with Strength and Int! As you get better gear and can make up for this problem you can drop these nodes. THEY ARE ONLY HERE IF AND ONLY IF 
YOU NEED THEM


Maps!!! - Precision is on Arrogance Support UNTIL YOU GET THE UNIQUE AMULET CALLED Hyrri's Truth - Once you get this amulet you can remove precision from your arrogance if you choose to. ONLY LEVEL PRECISION AS NEEDED IF
EVER NEEDED

**NOTE THE LEVELS OF THE CAST WHEN DAMAGE TAKEN SETUP!!!!***

**Pantheons** We are going with the Stun Pantheon and Bleed Pantheon (change as needed for content you are running) - Brine King and Ralakesh


***HOW TO GET TAMING RINGS*****

Either Buy It On Trade ~50chaos day1-2 (PLEASE NOTE PRICES MAY VARY DO NOT HOLD ME TO THESE PRICES)
or
Buy the following rings and vendor recipie them:

1) Berek's Respite (this is the expensive one, can be farmed via div card on Atoll *thanks balefire for telling me about this*
2) Berek's Grip (usually 1-3c)
3) Berek's Pass (usually 1-3c)

Gear in maps! 

For this note just fill out gear / resistances as needed! There isnt going to be a whole big thing you need for gear to really get into high end mapping just get life and fill out your resistances! If you can get chaos resistance on anything do it! 
Also if you can get Strength and Int on your gear pieces this will help free up 2 points on the passive skill tree. These points can be put into Frenzy Charges!
