Speedy LA/EB/AA/Puncture Shadow Archer [Cheap, Apex Viable]

i imagine that for the cruel bandits reward oak is the best choice, right?

Could you post a leveling tree or point out what nodes to go for first?

Yes, Oak would be the best choice at the moment, but who knows if this will change after the patch, which is why I haven't updated into a full guide yet. Expect a massive overhaul in a couple of weeks. :)

In the mean time, I usually level every build by going straight for Soul Siphon first. When you start doing enough damage that Mind Drinker keeps your mana refilled by itself, you can Book of Regret those points.

The very bottom right of the tree for Lethality, Heavy/Deadly Draw and Ondar's Guile would be my next stop. By then, you should have a good idea of what your particular character needs the most: life, mana, crit, etc.

Hope that helps.

Using this build but I am going Split Arrow instead of LA.
