The Easiest of the Easy Beginner Build Guides [1.1 SotV UPDATED]

I am really enjoying this build lv50 now.
I still have 90% chance to hit so I did not take the Resolute Technique jet, but now i wonder how hard it will be to not take it and keep using crits?

I wouldn't consider myself a beginner nor would I say I have much use for the builds but I just wanted to give you credit for some extremely well-thought out and very readable builds! A fantastic resource for new players for sure. Well done!

I was having a huge amount of trouble with my gear, I just could not get any upgrades, half my resists were still in the negatives or very low, and currency does not seem to want to drop. I was dying a lot in merc, so 3 hours of game time went down the tubes for every 3 hours I played. I was getting super frustrated and not making any progress, the solution for me was to join a guild. I told the leader I was having problems and she helped me out big time, gave me a sweet bow and good enough gear to cap all resists except chaos and now I'm wreckin fools and having fun again. Gave her some unique drops I found as thanks, though she said it wasn't necessary (still don't know how to sell stuff without using the chaotic trade chat). This game has a really good community, so if you're having a hard time try joining a guild via the guild recruitment in the forums.

I'm running into mana problems pre lvl 40 with lightning arrow. Any solutions?

I started having mana problems before lvl 30, so I decided to rush for Blood Magic. I skipped some "side nodes" like Unwavering Stance, Iron Grip(and node before it) and I respeced those 4 points leading to Balistic Mastery earlier.
Thx to that I was able to get Blood Magic at lvl 35 or so. Helped a lot. You just need some passive life regen and "Life gain on hit gem" so you dont kill yourself while spamming attacks :P
From that I went straight for Golem Blood as 1.5% of life regen is extremly helpful. Now im lvl 40 and got back to following the tree again.

for your final tree, why do you get heavy draw vs deadly draw? wouldnt deadly draw give you more dmg?
