Question, I didn't see anyway in passive & gear you have any piercing. Wouldn't piecing be good for mapping?

There is a Pierce Support gem in the Lightning Arrow setup in the Death's Opus.
Chin Sol is only used for single target vs Guardian/Shaper.

For clearing maps you can use LA + Pierce, or Ice SHot + Chain. Whichever feels better for you.

- Flash Freeze: not optimal compared to other dmg nodes
- Phase Acrob: 4 points which provide very little defense. They don't protect against being 1-shot. Better get 4 extra life points for that.
- +1 frenzy charge because they provide an insane amount of damage. Also when using Darkray Vectors very frenzy charge prodives an additional 5% movespeed and 2% dodge chance. 1 frenzy charges give us at base 4% attack speed, and 4% more dmg. Then per frenzy charge we get from ascendancy point Avatar of Slaughter an extra 2% movespeed, 3% attack speed, and 3% attack damage.
- Barrage + AddCold + EDwA + IceBite + ColdPen. Those links are perfect when using a 5L. Never use PtL, it's pretty crap and not optimal. You can indeed skip ele focus if you don't have enough INT.

Hope this helps, cheers

Yep, very helpful .. some other doubts that arose along the way:
* If PA does not provide as much defense, is Acrob required?
Not required, but very good. 30% dodge for just 1 node.
* does not use Grace and Hatred at the same time .. right?
Correct, cuz that would reserve 100% of your mana
* I do not understand how the configuration of the boots works
Forget the links in OP's boots. It's not optimal. Maybe go for something like cwdt - immortall call - increased duration - Vaal Haste
* How do you keep the Frenzy charge full?
Raider Ascendancy node "Way of the Poacher
* I probe IceShoot instead of Barrage and it gives me more DPS .. can it be? my configuration was as follows: IS + AddCold + IceBite + EDwA + ColdPen
No. Barrage tooltip is incorrect, and does not account for the fact it shoots multiple arrows. Barrage is THE BEST single target dps for bows.
* I do not use to use HoI to curse, had thought to pose something like:
Frostbite + Blasphemy + AreaSuport
Don't, cuz that reserves mana and means you lose dmg from either hatred or HoI. Plus you're not always in Blasphemy range of mobs when mapping.
and some recommended me:
Frostbite + CurseOnHit + OrbeOfStorm
Can do that for bosses, but Projectile Weakness is better
* instead of the node to the right of Coordination, I joined the tree through Coldheart Calculation .. aunq I do not know if they are worth it? same question with sniper
Sniper = not worth it. Coldheart you can do, but is not optimal
* ascendency .. I had thought deadeye due to the increase of critic, but I read out there that is not so good .. that you recommend me and why?
Raider, no question. Easy frenzy charge generation.

Thank you very much for reading. regards

Thanks sooo much,u are very good teacher, because that.. more doubts:
* what u recommend for boots I've seen it too, but I do not understand how it works (what it's used for)
* I thought the blasphemy for the bosses, that's why I did not care so much the distance .. but you tell me that PW is the best curse for this build? Or just for bosses?
* I see you use HoI+AssM, could you explain in what way?
* and I also saw that you have Frsotbomb .. that is to freeze enemies before hitting them?
* because I do not have as many 4-5L, I could have the barrage in the inventory, and exchange it with the IS when I get to the bosses?

So what's the current incarnation of the build? Is the op still up to date?
