I am very interested in making a build precisely for this ranged variant, - it will be my first attempt with AW - in case what would be the recommendations for the support gems?

If you don't mind me asking, do you think a Scion variant using Occultist and Guardian is viable even with less DPS?

Early on:
Minion Damage, Added Chaos Damage, Withering Touch, Volley and Pierce for Mapping
Minion Damage, Predator, Withering Touch, Chance to poison and Void Manipulation for Bossing

After acquiring Severed in Sleep and Dendrobate:
Minion Damage, Critical Strikes, Critical Damage, Volley and Pierce for Mapping
Minion Damage, Predator, Faster Attacks, Increased Critical Damage and Void Manipulation for Bossing

It's ~10% more Damage and I don't know any better alternative early on.

Sounds outright bad, imo. Assuming Necromancer, Guardian & Occultist (forbidden gems) and Sniper's Mark, we're looking at worse dmg (~21%) and a harder league start for a small amount of player survivability?

I would ofc be interested in receiving feedback if you try out the build but I wouldn't recommend it, tbh.

hello, i was looking on your pob for the chaos, is it easy to use it as the ranged weapons instead?

Pretty much. If you wanna save yourself the trouble of changing the melee PoB you can checkout the ranged Chaos AW build in my new video.

Energy blade and Winds of Fate could be interesting here but I didn't really have the time to investigate this idea so far.
