i use almost the same build.

i use rearguard as quiver (extra arrow corruption)
guardian+necro ascendacies instead of sabo/slayer for a better aura buff and some defensive stuff
i use a alpha's howl with generousity and empower, on haste and hatred.
this combined with flesh offering gives my minions a huge attack speed buff
i use a writhing jar to trigger traps if i can't get close to my enemy's,
sunblast had no use for me, i rather use a better defensive belt.

i want to use my vis mortis for unholy might.. but i haven't 6linked it yet


i'd like to know what you think of this xD

One way to look at Lioneyes vs Infractem is to average it out... It's alot of math that i don't want to do, but i can point out the different options.

Total damage = Damage per hit * avg # of hits per attack(Piercing) * % accuracy. Lets pretend you do 1000 per hit.

1: lioneyes without a CoH setup with Proj Weakness
you have 1 hit per attack and 100% accuracy... easy math, 1000.

2: Lioneyes with Proj Weakness
you have about 1.6 ish hits per attack with 100% accuracy. This is also easy, 1600 total damage.

3: Lioneyes with Proj Weakness and Pierce gem
While this gives you 100%, im going to say you lose 20% damage from the pierce gem over a higher damage link. So lets say with 100% pierce you are getting 3 hits per average with 100% accuracy but only 80% damage per hit. This gem really shows how many massive more multipliers we can get with this build.
This one is a bit harder, but 800*3*100% = 2400 total damage.

4: Infractem
so lets say 75% accuracy with 100% pierce. But with drillneck, you are getting 100% increased damage, which from looking at my gems and tree looks to be about a 20% total increase in damage. This gives you 3 hits per attack at 75% accuracy and 120% damage.

1200*3*75% = 2700

So Your numbers will be different based on how much Minion damage you have on your tree and gear, but for me, Infractem does noticably more even with reduced accuracy. If you look at a Physical build, you have Trap - Cluster trap - Mirror Arrow - Minion Damage - PPaD - Trap Cooldown. With an elemental build, its the same except swap PPaD for WED. Anything changed to pierce will be a major loss of dps(yes, 20% more multi is a major dps loss).

Second i don't know how you can say you don't have time to use an attack to keep up EE. Using split shot to apply curses which do more damage than a single round of clones will do also lets you apply EE, and also lets you put the curses down from a MUCH safer distance than trying to blasphemy them or wasting time manually casting them. And curses are a MAJOR source of damage for the clones. 40% more multiplier from Projectile weakness alone. If you are elemental and not using Elemental weakness, you are doing it wrong.

[Edited to fix some numbers]

Great that you tested 100% reduced trap duration + Clever Construction interaction! Never got to it myself, but now I know :-)

Mind you that with regard to accuracy your jewellery wouldn't be doing anything with the clones (that are actually minions), pretty much the only things you have that can help are flat accuracy on the bow/quiver and Lioneye's. Poacher's Marking mobs would work too, but I don't see that having a say in this context.

Also, I don't your Slayer ascendancy is doing anything for the minions (it shouldn't). If not Necromancer, I'd go for something with generic defensive stats for your dual ascendancy.

Besides that, your tree and build in general are starting to look real solid! 90 should be a breeze :)
