The nerf to vaal pact and moving the vaal pact keystone in the passive tree are the biggest changes that I know about. Actually I can't think of any others? (If you do the research then please post your findings here. :-) ) I'm currently of a mind set to not picking up VP but, it's unclear to me which is better?

One change that looks interesting to me is the buff to rapid assault (which gives you pretty much permanent onslaught and an additional damage increase now), could it be that now it is better than avatar of the chase? Then you wouldn't need all the passives to get more frenzy charges and could reinvest them.

Will the thread update no longer?

Neversink hasn't updated the thread since last year. It's still a good reference if you're working on a new build or something but according to the first paragraph, life seems to have Neversink a bit overwhelmed at this time?

I sure hope it will be updated, been waiting for it :)

There are so many Archer builds out there that have outclassed this thread since pre 3.0 and people are still waiting in line for mediocrity. Come on.

My wife still has a character based on this build that she plays. It is still a very good build. IIRC, it was also the build of the week once. Most of the bow based critical hit builds use a very similar passive tree. The main difference with the newer build trees being the use of the Lioneye's Fall unique jewel that converts the Soul Raker claw tree nodes into bow nodes.

Any chance of a 3.5 update to this guide!? I understand that the loot filter takes priority, and it SHOULD be, I just love this guide and think you make one of the best build guides! Thanks for all the hard work!

This build guide was integral to my journey into Wraeclast. It inspired me to make my own builds. Still one of my favorite guides, reminds me of the time before Path of Building and Poe.ninja and of a different game, PoE has developed so far from 3.0

Even more interesting is the first version of this guide - https://web.archive.org/web/20140909233456/https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1041989

(another build guide that helped so much - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/503727 it shows how strong LS has been since it was introduced, some skills are never bad.)
