Sniper

Shotgun + Bow + Ammo Pack · Decoyo, Rain, Bubble · Jeralt

Spells

High Fire Speed, High Cooldown Spells, Crowd Control, Boss Shredder

Spells

Speedster is capped at 90% Movement Speed. Sniper for cycling Cooldowns and cutting through high health enemies(Bulls, Lich, Horsemen, one shotting Snipers), reinforced by Speeder, Disgrace and Run and Gun. Bow for blowing up large clusters of smaller enemies, Ammo generation, and generating Gold off of these large packs to feed Trader purchases for high tier runs. Main Ability Combo = Shoot the Floor with your bow, throw Bubble into the fire patches on the floor, create a Fire Tornado. Drain for sustain, Boing for verticality and flying around the map with the dash and double jump. Realistically you can replace Bubble with Rescue or Ritual and have team heals, Tornado really isn't that crazy and your random team mates might be easier to keep alive than they are to revive in Nightmare.

Spells

Enjoy a suite of Strikes infused Rain and Wisp that reduce their own cooldown with Battlemage and Focus Shot, while spawning Minos.

With this build you have an answer to every scenario, and even decent scaling in a run. I truly believe this build will get new players in and through nightmare asap. I am showing the maxed out build but if you lack prestige you can scale down a bit and it won't affect too much. This build evens out survivability, aoe, boss damage, mobility, and scaling. Your main gameplay is going around clearing ghost houses and opening chests, getting jokers until you feel comfortable doing the main quest. Use full charge bow on ghost houses for easy 1 shots. Shotgun ads offers no recoil and with maxed accuracy you can snipe out deadeyes easily. Rain makes it so you won't have to worry about snakes for the most part when it's active. Decoyo is the best panic button in the game.
