[3.8] Arly's Ice shot bower

My Question to you is you have 2 diff skill trees the one u posted with the markers indicating what you would get 1st and the one in the link passive above it. The one above it you dont have the pierce nodes but still use pierce gem. Is the 50% pierce worth it and what skill tree is the end tree.
anyone trying this in beta?
Hi all a bit new, For this build and or most bow builds are you usually using potions constantly for damage? Or can you for the most part do mapping without having to constantly chug?

Hey man, the flasks are not required. In saying this though, they are a massive buff. We dont need all health flasks due to vaal pact. These builds utilize alot of clear speed, meaning the flasks are refilled quite quickly.

I tweaked the passive tree to get you up to 1 mil dps with the same gear and flasks activated (not even counting point blank). I think I got some extra life too, but not too much. Kept the same gear you posted.
The tree is lvl 96 tho, tell me what you think. Turns out Inc. Critical strikes is almost never worth it over Lightning Pen / Ele focus.

How does it deal with freeze? every ice spell seems to freeze me for a long time. also incredible build, and very good looking too. Think its stun in general, my hp too low? 4.1k atm level 83

Raider is immune to status ailments while phasing and will be phasing while onslaught'ed or max frenzy charges.

Awesome, Thanks so much. Returning player after a LONG time and just wanted a workable character, going to do ascendancy now. awesome build.
So this build is SO MUCH FUN! I stopped playing before forsaken masters so I had a lot of catching up in regards to mechanics, I am currently at level 90 with 6/8 ascendancy and build is already rocking.

Spoiler



Can you see any glaring improvements? Also for the role player in me how bad would it be swapping herald of ice to herald of thunder, and Ice golem for lightning golem? I haven't got the 20/20 gems to test but I'd assume a DPS loss, just wonder if its allowable to feel like a lightning god :/? I know I would lose a lot of AOE pack clear for speed and freeze for defence. I'm also struggling to find a decent need for vaal lightning trap? I am also playing on standard until new expansion.

Could swap out the gloves for something else. Shadows and dust for dps and some utility or a rare glove with ias/accu for life and dps. Attack damage vinktar is noticeably more dps than conversion vinktar.

HoT is pretty awful and ice golem is much better than lightning golem due to accuracy but it's not going to ruin the build.
