This is my 0.5 league starter. The idea is to use Spirit Walker's 
Primal Bounty to get insane Projectile Speed for 
Twister.

How it Plays
Clearing Monsters:
Use Whirling Slash 2-3 times before Twister.
PRE-SWAP: Before Twister, cast 
Ice-Tipped Arrows. 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.
Don't forget to Dodge Roll when you get 3 owl buffs for Primal Bounty.
Single Target (Pre-Crit Swap):
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.
FAQ
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.
