POE 3.5 Betrayal Ranger

Elemental Hit is an attack skill, executing a basic attack with added damage of a random element. An Elemental Hit may be performed with any weapon. Combat Focus now causes Elemental Hit to deal 50% less damage of the prevented element, including damage that gets converted from the prevented element to a new element. 

This build need a low budget, and it will cause an impressive damage. A good choice for novice players.
