Anger is level 9, GMP should never be used, your Frenzy gem is level 7, replace Blood Rage with Vaal Haste, Puncture doesn't work because you're not physical.

- Yeah the GMP was extremely bad. Replaced it with "faster attacks" for now.
- Frenzy increase my attackspeed from 0.24 --> 0.22 (without vaal haste). Doesn't feel that awesome and it's damage vs map bosses is... Okay for solo I guess. Hope it will be better at level 20.
- Replaced culling strike with lifeleech (better vs though map-bosses with lots of resists).
- Replaced the Blood Rage because it was indeed the only place where I had increased duration anyway + I was rarely using Blood Rage (only for map-bosses). So Vaal Haste is indeed the right replacement there. It's easy to perma keep it up unless the enemies drop too much loot for me to pick up ^^.
Sadly Vaal Haste lvl19 only gives 0.4 attack speed.. Not much. About 15% or so?

The damn golem dies from patches of fire/desecrated ground... He is not so smart. While I loot a chest, he stands right in the only patch near it :/. I'm too lazy to constantly control him and too lazy to resummon him. Why does a FLAME golem die from a patch of burning ground anyway sigh...

How do nodes that give +x% Projectile damage affect the damage output?

It increases it.

Yep.

Again, your golem is level 5. It's for level 40 players in level 40 zones, you need higher level gems.

I'm atm Level 81 and i have only 2,7k Life. Isn't that a little bit low?
I can't use Herald of Lightning because of the lack of Intelligence, so i use HoA.
My DPS are in total buffed for Tornadoshot over 25k

You need a LOT more max life stats on your gear, I have double yours with shitty gear that is mostly self-found at level 61, also you need to master craft some intelligence on some of your gear in order to be able to use Herald of Lightning because HoA is based off physical damage and this is an ele damage build. You need high rolls of maximum life on any piece of gear that isn't a unique in order to get to a safe hp pool for this build.

Split Chain WED FA BA LL
Frenzy WED FA BA ICD or PCoC or LL, your choice.

I use Split, Chain, WED, Blood Magic, Life Leech and Slower Projectiles (instead of Faster Attacks).
If both gems are 20/20, the 29% MORE+10% increased damage of Slower Projectiles is better than the 55% increased attack speed (mostly because you get a lot of attack speed from other sources already, making the relative effect of extra increases lower)

For Single Target I use Frenzy, Blood Magic, Faster Attacks, Slower Projectiles, ICD, WED.

I'm not sure about using Hypothermia here (again instead of Faster Attacks), because I need to chill with the first shot and I am not entirely sure how freeze/chill work.

From Wikipedia: "A hit of damage that has a chance to freeze is capable of inflicting freeze. Critical strikes inherently have a 100% chance to freeze. Base freeze duration is 60 ms seconds for every 1% of the target's maximum life (before party scaling) dealt by Cold damage, up to a maximum of 50%. If the duration would be below 0.3 seconds, the freeze effect is not applied."

What happens when I crit on a boss and still do less than 5% of life? Is the freeze effect applied or not?

"When a target is frozen, it is also chilled for the entire freeze duration, plus an additional 300 ms."

If the answer to the first question is no, is the target still chilled for 300ms?

Imo if you are not lacking in DPS, more leech at faster intervals with Faster Attacks with Vaal Pact help you survive damage far more effectively and kite faster, it's my main gripe with playing with slow bows.

You should also replace the Poacher's Aim Jewel in your tree by Fertile Mind. This will give you about +100 intelligence for the price of one Jewel, so you can concetrate on getting gear with life rather than int.

"Fertile Mind" Indeed is an awesome gem. It's what I use as well to deal with all my INT needs. Feels so op and it's a cheap gem.

Golem was level 14 at the time (not updated in post), now level 16, still dies relatively fast from desecrated ground/fire patches imo. Sadly I cant put it on my cwdt combo because I rarely get hit. That's how I normally summon golems :P.
But I'm still working on getting my gems level 20.

I'm still looking for a good 2nd jewel to use. Currently I got one with 9 all res, but obviously I need something better.

In 74 maps I currently kill mob-packs in ~2 shots. Often the mobs die offscreen as well from the sick range and chain effects. This build is pretty safe. The knockback is also great against bosses and if you can get 2 bosses on a map (map-mod), you can chain them and knock them back perma.

I'm just not sure what to put my skillpoints in after level 85. The build is complete. I could go for elemental damage nodes, 3 weapon elemental nodes (bottom right of tree), projectile damage, I dunno. No need for more hp, with belly of the beast you get ~4.4k hp easily.
