Path of Exile Lightning Strike Raider Build guide for what is 99% going to be my league starter for POE 3.15 Expedition League
It is a tanky, quick build that I played for a LONG time in 3.14. With a couple of quick skill tree and gem changes we do not lose any DPS. I always planned on playing a new skill but the buffs to Nightblade support and Lightning Strike make this a great build
Old PasteBin without pierce

My recommend POB with pierce nodes + Vaal Lightning Strike

I think the skill tree could be much more efficient and the end game version when we have a pierce helmet enchant could look a lot different, but this is fine for now and the best way to level but some of the nodes we take early fall off a bit as we progress to end game
This has details of beginner and advanced gear and skill trees. I have toggled Power Charges on as we would have these in the end game build but if you select the beginner tree remember to toggle off Power Charges
This is a POB pulled from another build. Sorry not sure who made it as was posted in a comment but this shows what you can do if you want to go full DPS and spend multiple Ex on the build:

Levelling guide and loot filter to come I just need to figure out how to level it :)
Any Q's feel free to ask and I will answer as best as I can
Props to Nugi for playing a LS Raider last league in HC otherwise I never would have thought of it. I have taken what he applied in Hardcore and adopted it to a more softcore environment
