[3.19] DO NOT USE - Fuzzy Duckzy's Lightning Strike Raider - Great League Starter

Having never played lightning strike but I did play Spectral Helix last league why do we swap into this skill?

I'm as always a bit undecided on starter (I play SSF, just as an FYI) but right now leaning towards Spectral Helix again as I enjoyed it. However I never get very far into the game and have a standing goal that I have yet to achieve of killing or at least attempting Sirus. This league actually might be the best chance ever for that to happen given the Atlas changes.

Since it seems that the build for this skill is very close or even identical I was wondering if there is a very compelling reason to do a switch at some point and given that Spectral Helix is suggested as the early skill I'm assuming there is.
Solid Build
Did I miss something or does the endgame tree/items not include any source of "strike +1/2 additional target(s)"? I feel like this mod is a very high priority for this build. It makes the clear much smoother and increases single target dps with good positioning.

Edit: I see it mentioned in the build notes here but not reflected in the POB

You don't have to switch Spectral Helix works fine I just do not like the mapping style. This tree and gear would work with Helix just fine I think

Sorry POB is a bit messy as have put 3 gearsets in there. You run ancestral call in your main links until you get the gloves.

I ran awakened ancestral call anyway towards the end of 3.15 once we have enough DPS as it allowed me to get some much better gloves...but lets not go there yet league has not even started :)

Thanks this is my first build guide and bit overwhelmed by how much stuff needs to be considered :) Luckily this community rocks and I have already added damage thanks to suggestions
Not taking Disciple of Slaughter? Taking that cluster instead of, for example, Primeval Force seems to give a few more % of damage, as well as some movement speed and a bit of evasion.

Thanks!

That makes it easy then. I try the switch as suggested in your guide to get a feel for the difference and then I just play the one that feels the most fun for me.
Is there a reason Retaliation is allocated as an anoint on the tree in the POB? The amulets in the dropdown list don't have that anoint on them and I'm not sure where it's coming from. If it's not supposed to be there then no big deal, but I want to make sure I am not missing something obvious.
