Our construction for the day is the dreadful Brutal Tornado Shot Berserker. Archers have been a shining example of success for Crucible precisely because of this factor, as you are all aware.
Equipment
Look for a rare bow with least 500 physical DPS and 7% critical strike chance.
When you have more currency, upgrade to a bow like this.
For this build you need an evasion body armor like this.
When you have more currency, look fot one that also allows us to apply 1 more curse.
If you already got you body armor with “an additional curse”, grab a ring like this.
As a budget helmet, look for one like this.
If you want to invest in more damage, grab a helmet like this.
Searing Exarch Implicit: Chance to intimidate enemies for 4 seconds on hit.
These boots are awesome for this build, they grant a lot of evasion, life, movement speed and chance to suppress spell damage.
Try to get a divine life flasks with instant heal, for the suffix look for immune to freeze.
It’s good to use a quicksilver flask to increase clear speed, for prefix: chance to gain chance on critical, for suffix: increases movement speed.
A jade flask is awesome for your survivability, it grants a lot of extra evasion, “chance to gain charges on critical strike” and “increase evasion during flask effect”.
A diamond flask is awesome for this build. It grants extra critical strike chance, “chance to gain charges on critical strike” and “increased critical strike chance”.
A granite flask is awesome for this build, it grants more armor, “chance to gain charges in critical strike” and “increased armor”.
When fighting pinnacle bosses you won’t need the quicksilver flask, so that’s a great idea to replace it with Dying Sun for the 2 extra projectiles that grant extra damage.

Leveling Skills
From 1 to 33 use Ground Slam, buy sapphire rings from Nessa in act 1, in the end of act 1 you face a hard boss that deals cold damage, and those rings will give you cold resistance. Then use Cyclone until level 75 when you will respect your tree and start using Tornado Shot.
Main Skill:
You need to use Heavy Strike until you reach the first town, there you can grab Ground Slam as a reward from Tarkleigh. (Gems: Ground Slam, Ruthless).
Reaching level 8 you can also support your Ground Slam with Maim and added fire damage. (Gems: Ground Slam, Ruthless, Maim, Add fire damage).
Reaching level 16 activate Herald of Purity and Summon Skitterbots for more damage.
Reaching level 18 replace added fire damage with mell physical madage.
Reaching level 33 replace Ground Slam with Cyclone, also replace Ruthless and Maim with Infused Channeling and Pulverise. It’s also a good time to equip your reaper’s pursuit.
Also on level 33, remove Skitterbots and add Blood and Sand and Precision to your auras.
If you have a 5 or 6L equipment, you can complete the Cyclone setup, it’s ok if you don’t have 6 links, it’s luxury, you will be fine with 4 or 5links while saving POE currency to link the last slots.
Also on level 38, don’t forget to create your Totem setup, it will be a massive help agains bosses.
Around level 66 replace Herald of Purity with Determination.
Reaching level 75 respec your passive tree and start using the Tornado Shot setup. It’s ok if you don’t have 6 links, it’s luxury, you will be fine with 4 or 5links while saving currency to link the last slots.
Also on level 75, replace Blood and Sand with Grace, remember to keep your Precision at level 10.

Q&A
You say the build is cheap, but there are some expensive recommended items there, how?
I’m lvl 40, and I’m dying a lot, why?
Take a look at your elemental resistances, they are really important for your survivability, after lvl 40 try to keep at least 50% of each, the maximum is 75%, try to reach that when you reach end-game.
