i have been playing with chin sol since i started the build, and today i tried perfect roll death opus.. clear speed is great specially with GMP but single target compared to chin sol is waaaaaaaaay to low, chin sol is like 1 barrage shot and they die,here it takes 4-5 shots or more to kill the boss,Chin Sol is the best bow for single target confirmed.
I am currently collecting the gear needed to make a king or queen of the forest build. I just can't decide if I want to make a raider or an assassin.. Obviously this guide favors the assassin but as far as I can tell, the frenzy charge madness from a raider might be pretty all right as well?
So far I've bought and linked these two:
If anyone has an opinion on why to go for shadow specifically I'd love to hear it. Having to weave in Frenzy usage just sounds like a hassle as I like to be as lazy as possible when I play.
With that said, I am leaning mostly towards Tornado Shot as I don't really see the appeal of lightning arrow, isn't that better suited with chain? Feels odd to deal phys, chaos and lightning damage when I could just deal phys/chaos with tornado shot or barrage

Raider could work, but you'll need very good crit gear. You'll also be missing out on assassin's double DoT damage, which is a large portion of the build's damage.
Would be curious to see how a raider/TS version works out, though.

You might check my little project https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1864405. Its way less focused on poison dmg (so it shouldnt be affected by incoming doubledip nerf) but so far it works.
Tornado shot is quite shity imho, LA shot offscreen ALOT, tornado is handy only in ele reflect maps.
I have been running a variant of this build with barrage+2 volley jewels. I find that this is more than enough for trash clearing. Only problem is losing 14% max life from 2 jewels.
Also used perfect form zodiac leather and atziri slink boots. Giving me 46% spell dodge 30% dodge and 60% evasion.
Only needing 1 six link makes it more affordable and also allows me to run 3 defensive auras (arctic/grace/blas-enfeeble) and cwdt-ic-id
Would love it if I could get some input from the pros here regarding further improvements I could do.

I'm playing raider with TS, it's not really good enough for guardian/shaper farming, but for speed running strands/shores or doing chayula it feels much better than Assasin to me
