Can someone help with how I can progress further? I think that i should use less uniques, even if my res are capped? i stop at T10 maps, but i die often and some of bosses are really hard to kill.

I can't quite figure out why you're using the gems you're using. Here's my input (granted I cannot see all your stats):

- Your amulet is almost entirely +int. I'm assuming this is to use one of your blue gems, but you should be able to use the level 1 variants without a +71 int amulet no problem. Amulet has huge potential; you may be better off spending a passive node on +30 int and using a much, much better amulet for either DPS or survivability.
- You aren't taking advantage of your 4Ls. 3 of them have 3 skill gems with 1 support. Re-read the recommended gem setups or take a look at my profile. Immortal call + CWDT + duration + ice golem is nice. Ice Herald + Ice Bite + COH + Assassin's Mark is nice too.
- If you're dying a lot you might need to (temporarily) re-spec the frenzy point into +HP. Looks like you can swap out a frenzy point for Bravery which would give you +10% HP and a lot of evasion - nice addition with your QOTF build.

I'm not an expert but those are my thoughts.

EDIT: Also get/craft a Seething Divine Life Flask for instant recovery. I did this today and it's been really nice.

EDIT 2: Get a diamond flask. The damage boost is insane.

Maybe i am blind but the guide doesn't seem to state which points of the raider ascendancy tree we should be picking up, i am very new to the game so if you would be able to point me in the right direction i would be eternally grateful

you can get number 6 as 4th too

You mentioned getting the spirit void cluster for mana but then you literally never got it in any of the skill trees. did you mean spec into it for leveling and then end game you are getting leech gear or just using a flask the whole time?

both the duelist leech cluster and the claw cluster have mana leech. 0.4% mana leech ist always enough endgame (with bows). This has been asked on every 2nd-3rd page.

Hey guys, Im a newer player and the guide shows that Herald of Ice + Curse on hit works. So I have this item and links and as far as I know this should work but I'm not seeing it work. Im not seeing any Assassins Mark or Onslaught. Any advice?

^^^ ^^^ it should work men. Herald of ice has after effect of exploding the mob, wait for that and look at the mobs near the aoe of exploding ice that hit will curse and not the first hit.
Have fun men.

I dunno man, if it was working I would be getting power charges from the Assassins Mark right? Im not getting any so to me it feels like its not working :/ Plus Onslaught isnt procing either. I put on Ice Bite for the extra chance to freeze but no luck so far.

Edit ----
I see what I did wrong. I had on Elemental Focus which disables Freeze. >.<

I see several spell gems linked to a CWDT, is this build older than the trigger gem nerf? Also, I'm puzzled because in the recommended gem combinations (buffs, defenses), there are mostly red gems and the build maximises evation i.e. dexterity. Does all the strength come from gear?

Well, I did that in the wrong order... Have the Frenzy tree at level 66.

SO if I wanted to follow the first build with Raider ascendancy, how would fitting Blast Rain work into the build? With just Tornado shot/blast rain?

At 88 I just switched from Raider to Pathfinder and I'll warn you - Pathfinder is extremely good if you can afford the flasks at all. I noticed a huge difference. I'm sure other people will disagree but that's my 2c.
