Huntress struggles

Im very new to this game, and I chose Huntress, because I really like the appearance (Or better say, I dont like others that much so Huntress was my only choice lol), and now it's come to that part where I finally beat Trials of Sekhemas.

After I observed all the skills, I came to conclusion that Im dumb and guides required. People state that Spirit Walker is currently second? third? strongest build in the entire game, but something bothers me. It cleraly uses something called Herald of Ice to pop up enemies. I've happened to see the gameplay - the guy just rolls with absurdly high speed, throw some tornadoes that get empowered with Herald of Ice, that trigger that very Herald of Ice that empower next tornados, so on so forth. But I dont see anything in Spirit Walker tree that buffs elemental damage. Instead, I begun observing Amazon. Most of the skills there buff elemental damage and give some sort of Surge\Thunder Surge that further empower elemental damage.

However, on that website, it is shown that the only available build for Amazon Huntress is bleed - but nothing in her skilltree buffs bleed damage. So Im on the fence. I kinda like throwing thunder spears, but Spirit Walker gameplay doesnt look very appealing to me. as well as I dont like the idea to use blood explosion skills. What would you recommend me in the situation like that?

Translation as an unfulfilled dream

Good day sirs. Im writing this not because I seek help, but more like to share the grim situation im currently being in.
I've spent 4 years in my university, that specialized precisely in language studies, all 4 years not a single native word was spoken, English\French and English\French alone. Need to say, its also "exchange" type of uni, so I also have a lot of practice.
Im not saying that I brag how awesome I am, I still dont know a lot in English, but I try to be better (vocab expansion mostly). I do love languages, I feel like they are quite easy to me, I can orient in grammar with no significant difficulties, etc. Again, I DO love languages. But I cant stress the disappointment enough, how lamentable it is.
I live in Russia, and with all things considered, which we wont name here. no official translation, like it used to, happens. Never, I guess. So all I've left are some independent\enthusiast non commercial groups who still want to keep translating games.
My dream, since the day I started learning English and French (And I think its like 15 years from now, Im 25 for the matter), was to translate either movies or games. But translating movies kinda fell by the wayside by its own, because there was literally no way to get in that branch as there are only 2-3 giant medias that do it and obviously they are not interested in me. So now its only games. I always found its so captivating, so breathtaking, so... Beautifull. You dont just translate the words, you put the depths into one's words, the passion, the love to what you do. Maybe Im overreacting, yes, but that game translation to me is like making completely another story to what its originally is, through words only.
But why do I call it grim? Because its been over 2 years now, I adressed all the translation groups I could find, everyone rejected me. I had an experience of translating minor modification to some games, some subtitles creation, I singlehandedly translate Fallout London to russian right now, but... I still want the work to be big, you know? Cyberpunk level of greatness. But all this goes south fast, because noone needs me. I think I sitll have that desire to do things but as the days pass by I feel more and more like giving up...
