Pros:
1 button play style
Extremely clear speed
Extremely tanky with multiple defensive layers: 90% phys reduce, 79% evade, 100% spell suppress, immu curses, immu freeze...
Cheap AF, you can self craft almost gear (not Asenath ofc)
Cons:
Not good as single (not take a decade for bossing but not the same level with clear speed). Solution: press "X" to 6L TR totem with +3 bow.
If you really need a boss killer, make another character.
Some suggest on gears progress:
Looking for additional stats/resists on cluster suffixes.
Craft Hunter/Redeemer Helmet with "-% chaos res" and "reservation" to open Aspect of Spider (or use 3 nodes small cluster) to improve both defensive and offensive... Or keep abuse Shire effect like me.
Craft better weapon with "DOT mul" + "chaos DOT mul" + bench craft "increased chaos damage"
Craft better rings: iolite base, frenzy/endure on kill, etc....
Belt: Replica HH, HH... or Mageblood.
SSF:
Replace Gloves/Belt slot with any unique provide Rampage. On other slot looking for HP/res.
If you use Bisco Leash, you can craft Hunter DoT gloves.
League starter/ 10 act leveling:
Use Poison Concoction. It has a similar tree, just regret all Poison nodes.
Don't forget leveling Death Oath support gems on off-hand weapons
