[2.6] Flash Freeze Ice Shot Ranger
" Point Blank is one of those nodes made for skills that don't travel far like Molten Strike's projectiles and Molten Burst from Ngamahu's Flame. For builds that use projectiles that can travel more than half the screen Point Blank can hurt a lot. At extremely close range it will give you a bonus but at about half screen that bonus starts to go negative and before the projectiles leave screen Point Blank has already cut your damage by too much. | |
" I use Shrapnel Shot until I get LMP and a 4 link then I swap to Ice shot ad go to the end game from there. | |
" The only suggestion I can give is to keep the boss at the edge of the screen as best you can and watch their attacks and move out of the way when they start one. Standing in one position against any boss with something for a ranged attack will get you killed and you should be using the "Run and Gun" style of play against them. | |
" More and more people keep bringing this up and especially with the drillneck nerf I really don't think Pierce is the way you want to go with Ice Shot. I have several friends who have also tried both and feel the same way. | |
" The higher the level on CWDT the more damage you have to take to make it activate the other skills. The other skills need to be under the level stated on CWDT in order to be activated by it. | |

" Oh right, i understand now! I was using herald of ice with ice bite for frenzy charges. Now i'll switch when i get it on the ranger ascendancy. Thx for the reply. |

Thank you for the guide! I'm looking for advice on the leveling process - it was a fast process through normal, but dragging a bit in Cruel. I'm assuming that crit chance and crit modifier is the key (along with a decent bow) but I'm looking for advice on what can be changed/altered to speed up the process?
Right now i'm using Ice Shot/GMP/Chain/FA as my main "screen clear" and Blast Rain as my single target. BR takes a bit too long to kill and it's a bit of a dance with single target, but Ice Shot is either fantastically brilliant or ridiculously slow. Also doing this on SC Self Found and I have no 5 links as of yet. Also maybe the Ascendancy direction I went in was the wrong move? Thanks in advance for any thoughts on maybe a different skill to use while leveling, different support gems or is the answer just moar crit? :) Last edited by Polrayne on Mar 13, 2017, 4:37:02 PM

What about adding reach of the council spine bow instead of deaths opus? especially with the foil version being out in legacy mode?
