ya im back to playing my own version of this build - again. it just can't be beat for how easy, cheap, and powerful it is. nothing has come close.
i play exclusively in SSF now too, and its actually very easy to get rolling in SSF.

Current Gear

basically when starting out, as soon as you hit act 6 you can farm the twilight strand for the div card Thunderous Skies to get a Storm Cloud bow. this is basically exact same power as quill rain. less attack speed but more damage. either bow will work, but storm cloud can be farmed. either one will carry you until you can get a set of Imperial Legacy completed.
you can farm up a tabula if you want a 6L.
all other gear is completely open. even quiver, until you can get a skirmish, which you can do from farming einhar (shield/quiver turn in) or as a drop. it is pretty common, actually.

Withering Step works INCREDIBLY WELL with this build. especially if you want to play more defensive. it gives you a massive boost in dodge and movement speed and phasing in order to run around being safe after placing totems to let them do the killing.

i also think a self-cast steelskin cannot be beat. and using summon skitterbots gives you about 24% more damage, and an additional stacking slow. minor but present.

i used to prefer this build as trickster in order to go EB to not need to deal with mana issues at all. but with the inclusion of enduring mana flasks and raider buffs, raider beats out the multi-nerfed trickster by a mile now, i think. slightly less damage but way more survivability OTHER than sustain, which should be picked up somewhere. ideally i think i'd like to be running a cinderhollow flask for that regen on kill.

having capped evasion, capped dodge with withering step, and an absolute balls-ton of movement speed it really is hard to get yourself into trouble with this setup.

this build demolishes blight.
i picked out a dps tower i liked that could get the "deal full damage" anoint so i could focus on just that tower. TR gives all the CC you need. just a couple glacial cage towers near the pump in case a portal spawns on top of it and you're golden.

Can you do a more detailed explantion of the buffs and nerfs. I see a lot of nerfs in term of speed and damage aswel. But we get more totems do they make up for al those nerfs.
