So could i change some things aleready? Or is it better to spend all 106 points like the leveling skilltree and refound afterwards?

You don't have to follow the levelling skilltree point by point, it's a suggestion and a lot of it depends on the items you have. At some points, you have to adapt - if your gear isn't that good, you will need more leech and resistances and have to skip some damage or even life for that (because having low resistances is even worse than having low life). If you have a high budget, jewel sockets are much more interesting.
Also, before merciless, the game doesn't really start anyways, you can try out a lot with no real consequences. In the worst case, you need some minutes extra for an act boss because he one-shots you all the time. Other than that, a ranged attacker faces basically no challenge in cruel. That will change.

Any spike-poing with 3 or 4 of these stats: critchance, crit mult, elem damage, atack speed, life, resist, life leech is perfect.

Or if you ready to spend your money you can buy legacy Light quiver) http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Light_Quiver

I've read through this build a few times now and it has always certainly caught my eye as it sounded to be pretty survivable and should be possible to level up solo self found. I'm interested in giving it a try and was considering doing a little practice run and then giving it a go for real during the 48 hour flashback solo race.

I saw that the defensive build was recommended for HC characters. However I'm not really sure what I should be prioritizing in terms of leveling and was hoping for some suggestions. At the moment I've got something like this:

24 points:

Starting out in the ranger area - pick up notable nodes and move towards Acrobatics.

41 points:

Since we skipped many of the damage nodes in ranger move to shadow to increase damage, attack speed and pick up some more life.

58 points:

Pick up life, damage, and evasion from Duelist.

74 points:

Pick up the crit nodes we passed along the way. Minor respec for 2 points to set up for vitality void in the future while we move to get King of the Hill.

88 points:

Pick up the frenzy charges, phase acrobatics and thick skin.

117 points:

Fill out the remainder of the build, picking up jewels and life nodes.

One of the things I wasn't sure about was if I should be doing ranger/duelist, or ranger/shadow at the start. An alternative 41 could have been:

What do you think?

Pretty good as for HC survival.
In your full build i would rather get rid of life and mana leech(get it on your gear)
Also try reaching aspect of Eagle. You may experience lack of accuracy otherwise or get Lioneye's Glare bow.

Unless monsters are twice as strong in HC, I wouldn't spend half my skillpoints in ways to life nodes all over the skill tree. Movement speed, knockback and dps are also important defensive factors. King of the Hill is awesome and you can take Thick Skin and Survivalist instead of Bravery and Golem's Blood. That should leave room for some more interesting nodes.

Enjoying your build! What to upgrade next? Are my links okay or should i really place a PTL+Weapon ele damage?

which class is to use the best for over atziri
