Starting late here, I want to play SSF this go-around.
I've really only played melee characters so I'd prefer to try out some sort of ranged skill. Any recommendations for a ranged class/skill that can get going without a ton of investment and can scale decently into the end game on SSF? Preferably something that doesn't 100% rely on a chase unique.
Thanks!
Hardcore or softcore?

Oracle offers plant watering early and can transition into a myriad of builds. BM has the higher cap, but since you're SSF Oracle might be the easier option.
Perosnally I quite enjoyed Oracle CoC warp which let me mana stack, semi-blink with spark for good clear. No need for any chase and works on non-gg rares quite well. Check out xthefarmerx for some good information on this kind of build.
I would guess blood mage spark.
Id reccomend trying a minion druid build. The shaman ascendancy feels super strong with the extra spirit and the build stomps without any good gear.

Ive done a few SSF restarts this season.
My best experiences were:
In that order. All from fresh starts to t15 maps and t3 bosses.
Strongly recommend against starting spark anything. Much better as a second build.
Witchhunter.
Druid Oracle plant build is strong.
Just a man and his crossbow. Mercenary is duelist persona tuned up to 11 and I love it.
If only there were any clues. Could be anyone!
Oh hell ywah!
