Nerf/Change Log
[v0.2]
Superior Endless Quiver now grants +2 Additional Projectiles and another +3 Additional Projectiles when Tormented, instead of +5 Additional Projectiles (at max rank).
Projectiles can no longer Pierce AND Fork. A Projectile will try to trigger the highest stat first, and try to trigger the second stat only if the first has failed.
Overview
This is the build for you if you enjoy littering the screen in arrows and numbers, going fast, turning your brain off and grinding without worrying about anything.
Pros:
Fast clear & movement speed
Highly scalable damage
Enemies being hit constantly ensures full HP/MP at all times thanks to mana/life leech
Don't need to aim, just click to kill entire screen
Requires no legendaries or even epics
Cons:
Will probably die in 1 hit to big sword elites on wrath 10
Destroys framerate (play in windowed and restart game often to mitigate)
Wrath 10 build gameplay with mostly rare gear, a lot of room for more damage.

Reapers
This build should work with a variety of reapers.
Potential reaper candidates:
Primordial Bow of the Manabender
Strong enough to work, however much lower potential than the other options, not recommended unless you already have it leveled.
The Most Powerful Primordial Bow
Gives a lot of reaper damage, which should be enough to make the build work.
Primordial Bow of the Nimble Warrior
Potentially massive crit damage scaling if you can avoid getting hit, which is possible when you kill everything before they get a chance to attack you.
Big Fury Primordial Bow
Your skill damage is lucky, decent reaper damage and a lot of raw damage scaling.
Highly recommended, good scaling with no real conditions.
How do you get Primordial weapons??
Kill 42,000 enemies with the original version.
Main Skills
Main Skill
Arrow Shot
Mastery 1 - Forking Arrow, 50% Fork
Mastery 2 - Obsidian Arrowhead, 100% Pierce
Mastery 3 - Snap Back, extremely powerful damage buff
Mastery 4 - Furious and Fast, Projectile speed damage scaling
Mastery 5 - Reactive Arrow if Manabender, Multiplicative Arrow otherwise
Snap Back + Furious and Fast allow us to scale the damage of this skill immensely.
Secondary Skill
Literally doesn't matter, use whatever you like.
Specialization
Sharpshooter of the Wild
Mastery 1 - Assassin's Momentum, huge movement speed buff which lets us run through expeditions much faster
Mastery 2 - Know Your Enemy, nice defensive layer against mages and archers
Mastery 3 - Doesn't really matter, take Bad Medicine if your 2nd skill can poison
Mastery 4 - Also doesn't matter, choose whatever
Mastery 5 - Precision of the Wild, free crit
Mastery 6 - Rapid Shot, proj speed = damage scaling
Mastery 7 - Baba Yaga, free elite damage
Mastery 8 - Superior Endless Quiver, all the extra projectiles you'll ever need
Attributes
45 Fury
10% Crit
50% Attack speed for your primary skill
50% Reaper damage multi applied to your next cast when you use a movement skill (Tumble)
25 Dexterity
12.5% Attack speed
Little bit of reaper damage
50% Projectile speed, big damage buff
Alternatively you can go full bravery for a lot of movement speed if your damage is already good enough
Ancestral Legacy
If using Manabender:
Seasoned Hunter - 5% Attack speed, 15% Armor pen, taken to get to the next node
Elemental Swap - Aura that doubles your mana cost, Arrow shot will cost 1336 mana with this enabled.
Reapersmith's Legacy - Free little magic find passive on the side.
Other options:
Burning Shadow: Massive 50% Raw Damage and 100% Crit Damage buff with a cooldown, very powerful but not 100% uptime.
The Slormitologist - Item quantity, slormandrite find and gold find
Pain Weaver - 10% to Raw Damage, Elite Damage, and Mana Regen
Gear Stat Priority
ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY STATS
Rebound Chance to 100%
Fork Chance to 50%
One roll of Mana Leech and one roll of Life Leech, try to get these on your epics asap to free up your rare/magic slots.
Example of a great piece of gear ->
Offensive stats:
Projectile Speed
Critical Chance
Critical Damage
Raw Damage
Damage to Elites
Attack Speed (Low priority, our attributes already give enough)
Ancestral Strike Chance (Doesn't stack with critical damage, not worth going for with this build)
Defensive stats:
Maximum Life
Nice to have stats:
Movement Speed
Reaper Stats:
+5 To whatever you're using
Mastery Stats:
+2 Arrow Shot
+2 Tumble if you want more buff time
Attribute Stats:
Fury and Dex
Legendary Options
Note that this build doesn't require any legendaries, but they can make it much more powerful and smooth your progression if you happen to have them.
Frees up a stat roll
More projectiles always good, use at your own risk, adding more projectiles will destroy your framerate even more
Faster Arrow Shot, more Tumble = more damage
More Tumbles
More damage
More damage
Elite big sword skellies tend to one shot you at wrath 10, nice to have this to prevent losing your run to an unfortunate spawn
Can help with single target damage
We do a lot of hits, slap on the gold find reaper and farm it up.
How 2 Play
Disable damage/healing numbers to mitigate FPS issues.
Always run the Prison expedition, it has a much nicer layout for clearing fast.
Stick to the highest current wrath level where you can kill mobs in few hits, the game won't lag as much if you kill stuff faster.
Spam Tumble to get more damage and movement speed.
Shoot at walls to do more damage from the Snap Back passive.
Don't get hit by these guys, you will probably die.
