TBH I think it's just a matter of preference. My char in 3.2 is a Raider with bloodmagic again and i'm really happy with it. Doing T14 maps without too much issues at lvl 85 on a 5L QOTF.

Actually, I've decided to go with Raider this league with some iteration.
The plan is to use cyclone on a 4 link shaped gloves with faster attack while wearing Kaom Heart's. You can use a Kintsugi as a filler while you farm currency for KH
I've also dropped Darkray Vector for Atziri Step with life leech enchant, Darkray are too damn slow if you lose frenzy charge, and buying a corrupted pair with the right color and corruption are kinda hard early on.
The only thing I would say, if you are planning to make it as a currency farmer, if to go with chieftain and if you are planning to play the whole league, go with raider for dps scaling.
Why? The Chieftain give you a 'free' avatar of fire. and save up the amulet slot. And since the amulet are kinda expensive, I brought mine the second day for 160 chaos. Now they are like 5-6-7 ex.
I consider my character pretty done except for 3 thing.
Need 1 better opal ring.
Getting 1 jewel with specific affix
Dying sun.
This is the build i was playing during 3.0 patch Harbinger League, got 40/40 challenges and level 100 with it.
Pros:
-Fast
-Easy
-Fun
-Can do all content well (Maps, Lab, Atziri, Guardians, Shaper)
-Cheap to start, expensive to max
Cons:
-Good at everything, best at nothing. Story of my life :D
Gameplay:
LVL100 all Guardians(white) + Shaper in one go Minotaur -max, EE, boss life Phoenix vuln, poison Hydra extra life, 40% extra res, poison Chimera -max, extra fire damage Shaper
For Shaper you can replace Stibnite flask with Taste of Hate for some extra deeps and max cold resist. You could also swap Fortify and inc AOE to Added Fire and Concentrated Effect supports.
3.1_UPDATE
3.1 QotF nerf left us with some excess evasion.
Option 1: Drop Graceful Assault cluster and swap Stibnite flask to Granite/Lion's Roar. Potentially use Pure Talent jewel. PoB link
Option 2: Drop Grace and HoA, go Blood Magic. Then move points from Vitality Void to connect to Duelist and Marauder starts and use Pure Talent jewel. Quick PoB test tells i would gain about 600 HP, 15% AOE and lose ~15% DPS. Seems good if you are trying to push for 100. PoB link
Option 3: (Very expensive, but the best)Drop Graceful Assault, replace Grace with Anger and get Watcher's Eye jewel with %phys added as fire and damage penetrates %fire res while affected by Anger. It is still a good option if you want more damage even if you don't have the jewel. PoB link
-6.7k HP
-72k Evasion
-+325% Movement Speed
-139k Cyclone DPS with Fortify, Increased Area of Effect and Faster Attacks
-8.75 Cyclone Attacks per Second
-68.4k per Meatball, 9 projectiles
-71% Fire Penetration
Core Unique Items:
Must have:
Ngamahu's Flame gives this build a strong single target with Molten Burst procs in addition to Cyclone. Doesn't have to be linked, any socketed support will link to Molten Burst. Queen of the Forest is used for massive bonus to movement speed gained through stacking evasion. (6-link not required)
Highly recommended:
Devoto's Devotion gives us speed and then more speed. And extra speed. Staple helmet for Cyclone builds. Xoph's Blood has very strong bonuses one of which is Avatar of Fire. Having AoF in combination with Ngamahu's Flame enables full physical > fire conversion which opens extra ways for further damage scaling on skill tree, gear and flasks.
Gear_and_links_at_lvl97
Ideally you want evasion based boots and Gripped Gloves. Stats to look for on gear: life, resits, int, str, elemental damage with attacks, fire damage, evasion.
For Bandit Quest i killed all of them, but helping Oak or Kraitlyn is fine too, if you like that more.
For ascendancy - Veteran Bowyer first, then go after Master Alchemist and leave Natures Adrenaline for uber lab.
For pantheon i use Yugul and Lunaris/Arakaali. Arakaali will boost your Leech and Regeneration every time Immortal Call procs and prevents Blood Rage from damaging you.
High Priority Nodes:
-Point Blank
-Iron Grip
-Resolute Technique
-Master of the Arena
Raider Skill Tree I would try to fit in Three-step Assault with +1 frenzy corrupt or Darkray Vectors with the same corrupt. Raider has about 10% higher MS, slightly higher damage on bosses due to frenzy charge sustain, but no additional flask sustain.
If you can't afford Xoph's Blood amulet right away - consider leaving Lava Lash and Primeval Force clusters for later or pick up Avatar of Fire Keystone.
Cheap unique items you might want to use at some point:

Hey OP, can I translate your guide into russian and post it on russian poe forum?
It is great, really. Started this league w/ it, currently farm t15 maps without xoph and feel well.

I don't think i can stop you from doing that :D But if you include my videos or at least link to this thread - that'd be great.
