This is one of the best levelling builds for Huntress. I've completed campaign in 3:25 with this build. You can find the loot filter here. Click here for the sound files that go with the filter. Put these in your item filter folder.

Upgrading Priority:

Ice-Tipped Arrows (Don't upgrade Whirling Slash)
Tier 2 Support Gems:
TwisterTwisterIce-Tipped ArrowsFirst Lesser Jeweller's Orb (Sandswept Marsh in Act 3): Elemental Armament II for Twister
Clearing Monsters:
Use Whirling Slash 2-3 times before Twister.
When you get Ice-Tipped Arrows, cast it before Twister. It converts the Physical Damage of Twister to Cold Damage, allowing it to Freeze and generate Chilled Ground via Frost Nexus.
You can also use 
Barrage to clear big packs and improve single target.
Single Target:
Same as clear, but use 
War Banner, which gives 25% more attack damage, and increased attack speed.
You also have 
Freezing Mark for more Freeze Buildup and 30% of damage gained as cold.
You'll need to use 
Parry + 
Fangs of Frost on bosses to get Chilled Ground. When you get Ice-Tipped Arrows and Frost Nexus on Twister you can stop using Parry and Fangs of Frost.
Ascendancy:
Go for 
Predatory Instinct on 
Amazon or 
Spirit Walker's 
Vivid Stampede
My ice-tipped arrows isn't working / tornadoes not doing cold damage?
Ice-Tipped Arrows needs to be set to the same weapon set as Twister (Weapon Set 2)
What are the pink and green lines in the tree?
Pink passives are Weapon Set 1 passives. Green passives are Weapon Set 2 passives.
Why weapon set 1 for whirling slash?
In endgame, you get Rigwald's Ferocity, which gives increased attack speed to Whirling Slash if it's in Weapon Set 1.
Why barrage on weapon set 1?
Dance with Death only works with our weapon set 1 because we have a sceptre in weapon set 2. The bonus from dance with death applies to Barrage as well, giving it 25% more skill speed.
How is Dance with Death working?
In weapon set 1 (whirling slash), we have no offhand, so Dance with Death works on weapon set 1, but does nothing for weapon set 2. You cannot put keystones on a specific weapon set, that's why it's not a weapon set point.
Why use Charged Mark on Freezing Mark?
It gives Shocked Ground for free when the mark is activated.
How do you get the benefit from 
Hail?
Ice-Tipped Arrows causes Twister to become empowered.
How are we generating Frenzy Charges for Barrage?
We are using 
Combat Frenzy
Weapon Sets are correct for A1, but he has them mixed up for A 2-3. Whirling Slash should be S1 and Twister S2.
**Edit** In the Skills section that is.
granted im still in act 1 getting to the village but this build is amazingly easy and powerful so far. The cemetery part where you go into the crypts is always a nightmare for me but with twisters it was very smooth.
