Notes

The Raider Tornado Shot build is an excellent choice for beginners who are looking for a fast-paced and beginner-friendly build. It relies on the keystone Point Blank, which means you do more damage to enemies the closer you are to them. The build has two stages - a non-crit version for early leveling and a more expensive crit version for later on when you have more Poe currency. This guide will walk you through each stage of the build and provide tips on gear, skills, and playstyle.

PlayStyle
The non-crit version of the build relies on two keystones - Point Blank and Precise Technique. Point Blank means the closer you get to enemies, the more damage you do, while Precise Technique gives you a massive 40 more damage if your accuracy is higher than your life. Make sure your auras are active and press C on PC to go to your character screen, select Reign of Arrows and the offense tab and look for the main hand accuracy rating. If this is higher than your life, your buff is active.
To remedy any accuracy issues, you can run a low-level Precision aura and take some accuracy nodes on the tree. You'll also want to upgrade your bow every few levels, and you should look for a bow with two lots of elemental damage on it.

Pros & Cons

+ Safe to play with good defenses
+ Detailed guide with written and video content available
+ Can switch to a more expensive crit version later on for higher damage
- Limited to bow and arc-type character playstyle
- Not the best option for low investment league starting compared to other builds
- Point Blank keystone requires being close to enemies for maximum damage, which can be risky in some situations
