Help with build: Ice Shot (Deadeye)

Heya guys,

I started following a build for Ice Shot. And it's been fun up until End-game.

I'm trying T15-16 maps and I am just getting destroyed and one shot by everything. I also seem to be doing very low damage to bosses. Take me ages and some bosses just keep one shotting me.

Anyone here that can give me some build advice?

Primarily wondering about the following 2 things:

- Improve survivability
- Improve damage

It seems to me that you have no way to consitently generate Frenzy charges in boss fights or in between phases. Switching Hyrri's Ire for a Farrul's fur and getting aspect of the cat on one of your rares, would pretty much double your current damage, as well as giving you 200 more life. For the one shot part, all I can really say is that dodge builds are squishy for the most part. If you mess up at all in a boss fight, you will have to rely on 40%/30% dodge and your 4k hp pool to live. Find a way to get cast on death/portal into your setup so that you don't have to run through a map to get back to where you died, as it happens quite often compared to other builds.

Another thing would be to get rid of ice bite in your setup and get added cold damage for a little extra damage, since you won't need it for frenzy charges anymore.

In your single target setup, I would go for Barrage linked with ele damage, hypothermia, inspiration, add cold damage, and cold pen.

I dont like your build ... that is my actual PoB : https://pastebin.com/FEXLFqw4
(i forgot to put the ignore cold resistances on the configuration, i have 51% cold penetration so it's pushing barrage damage to 5M)

IceShot for clear : 2,2M dps
Barrage for single target : 4,2M dps

I'm not a pro player but :
- I dont like your annoint on your amulet
- The damage on full life support is not the best i think cause you are never full life
- No inspiration on barrage
- Crit chance is a bit low according to me
- You dont profit frenzy in single target and you lose a lot of damage
- No cold penetration Gem on your skill setup
- You cluster setup is bad for me
- You have point blank so you fight boss at close range ? so go for Chin Sol to have full benefit of this node
- It's not an armor build but evasive so it's normal to get one shot you have to be more aware than a tanky build but it's just a gameplay style, not everyone like this...


Perhaps you can switch to a build like mine for more survivability & damage cause some of your items are identicals, i can do Sirus A8, all T16, shaper / elder, i have to try uber elder.
In farming i'm not tanky but i manage to oneshot mob packs to not die with iceshot + herald of ice is really easy cause it can one an entire screen with 1-click.
