Description
Gun raven build a lot more refined, still testing a few things but it's mostly set. Barriers are intended for more of a focus on damage whereas going for armors + siphon bullets is if you want to be a lot more tanky. Leaving it up for others to also test out! Tell me feedback in the raven channel in the discord! I strim using these builds sometimes too at https://twitch.tv/shelduntv
Item Build
Early
Any order you feel is necessary. Look for resto shot/HR if you are struggling in lane. Headshot booster to apply more pressure.

Headhunter first 3k as it does fall off pretty fast, if you want damage go for barriers + crippling later, if you want tankiness go for armors + siphon

Late game | Extras
6400
Probably the 1st extra you'd buy, ricochet procs on blindside shots too so they do extra damage.
6400
Pairs nicely with ricochet if you have it (it's fine if you don't) good for shutting down large spirit damage
3200
Pairs very nicely with ricochet + mystic slow, buy if you intend on going more util/antiheal focused
1600
Buy once you have toxic purchased
6400
General damage nerf is good if silencer doesn't apply
