Hi Chemist, thanks for this guide. Raider is my favorite archetype (love that perma-phasing and high movespeed). I went Lightning Strike Raider in Ritual, so I'm excited to try a slightly different flavor this this league, although I haven't speced out of lightning trap yet.

I notice you get tons of questions from people asking about how each of the skill mechanics work and how bindings should work. Might make sense to add 1-2 paragraphs explaining (for noobs) how each skill should be used when clearing trash and when bossing, as well as your personal keybinds? Then you might get less repetitive questions. You might also consider explaining in the FAQ why the Vigil jewel can be placed where you have it in the POB endgame tree, since there seems to be a question about that every page.

the guide goes into detail on each gem link, it also outlines at the very top what you can expect gameplay wise. As for the vigil thing, I do plan on making an FAQ section very soon. Been busy with league start.

Obviously it's your guide and you can do what you like with it (and I appreciate it) but what I meant with the skill thing was, for example, the Sigil of Power and General's Cry sections, you have the gem links but it seems like people are still showing up in here confused about how to play and use the skills correctly. You might add a sentence or two saying like "I have General's Cry/Vigilant Strike bound to T, ensure you're fortified at all times (by mirages that give you fortify through the Vigil jewel) by periodically using General's Cry while clearing. If no corpses are available for General's Cry (i.e. bosses), drop a desecrate first, which I have bound to CTRL+T since it is used less frequently." Basically assume people have no idea what they are doing, since they don't. Anyway, just a suggestion. I am dealing with this a lot right now as I'm trying to get friends to try out the game for the first time and I have to explain really basic stuff.

What about going dex instead of these 4 life/evasion nodes to save 2 passive points?

Hi,

I honestly had a terrible time leveling with LT, the good thing is that it was a reminder of why I ate mine gameplay.

After farming BA and getting an exalt in the process, I re-spec'd and invested in some decent cheap gear and... What a blast!

It's fun, tanky and rewarding. And I haven't even upgraded my flasks yet (lazy me) nor mastered all skills and cooldowns.

So, thanks for the build and good luck you.

Hi All! Really enjoying the build so far!

Just asking in general, wondering if anyone could point out any obvious upgrades I can aim for. I'm feeling okay on the health/mana front, but feeling a tad low on the DPS. Nowhere near finished with the build just looking for upgrades!

Thanks in advance!

Hi, could you guys help me with fortify setup? As i understand we apply it through general's cry + the vigil jewel but there is no 40 strength in radius. I used this pob https://pastebin.com/JMSRLDyC

look at the endgame tree for the right position of the jewel. Someone also posted a picture like 1-2 pages back

A 5L/6L cloak of defiance and an Atziri's Foible would be massive. For defensives I would swap out your offhand for a spell block>spell damage>mana>life/cast speed shield or a mana sceptre with a 140+ mana roll and some spell damage
