Nice build. I respecced an old deadeye I had on standard into this and it works pretty well. I only need to get cold blooded killer on my cluster (or maybe I'll just use a cinder).

I'm testing it in the mine at 500+ because of the HoI shatter and it seems to do the job.

Since I'm using an original (+4) reach, is there anything you'd suggest to change? I thought about not taking endless munitions but I figure the extra shotgunning from the void shots helps and the alternatives don't look interesting.

Focal Point would be your next best choice if you're not taking Endless Munitions. Do note that legacy RotC is not exactly the highest DPS bow you can get as of this league, and that the build does not exactly benefits so much from additional arrows for single target (as opposed to traditional Ice Shot/Barrage builds).

Good to know you're not having much problem with the build on deep delves. Was never much of a fan of deep delving so never got to really test the build out on it.

Only issue is end-game is expensive. and struggling to kill tough bosses, w low life and ice-shot / hydro damage (Need to position perfectly and dodge everything)

Expensive because;

- Health Pool is Item dependent
- Damage(Bow) Item dependent


- 2 Mod Watcher's Eye 10+ Exalts
- Hunter's Influenced Stygian Wise 2+ Exalts only Base
- Bow can be crafted but needs at least 5-10 Exalts depends on your luck
- Hyrri's Ire is OK, but I pretty much prefer Farruls with Life and constant Frenzy Power or Endurance Charges, and Aspect of the Cat rotation not bad at all
- Shaper Ring 2+ Exalts, with Assassin mark much more
- Boots with Elusive 2+ Exalts (not that necessary)
- Void Fletcher probably better at bossing, but quiver with life and resist good too

Until level 80-90 I was having fun with this build, after hitting T14-15 maps, you should spend sometime and generate currency for endgame

But play-style and build is so much fun even though died 200+ times already lol =")

Thank you for the hard work here! Probably only ice-shot build out there, I am not counting builds dependent on barrage, cause they are barrage build =D

Finished with the league. As a causal player I played this from league start to end.

First time crafting for myself, made a lot easier with your crafting section.

Enjoyed the build, playstyle, cold freeze/shatter and the guide is easy to follow.

This is as far as I got with the build: https://pastebin.com/Zj1BLBzv
Far enough to call a success?

Good Job, cheers!

Hey man, nice build overall, was trying this a bit on a 1st league starter and spent like 180c +-, starkonja was 1c, Hyrri's ire was 15(+5 jeweller's touch), 5L death opus which was like 50c, 20c on brutal restrain, 20c on lioneye fall, 10c for a life + res ring with cold damage and space to -7 mana, and 30c for the large cluster if i recall correctly.

that amounts to 150c and the rest was on starting items to level up faster, my review here is that is pretty decent, was running t9s on a 2.9k life ranger, i died quite little despite of that(i'm always playing facetank builds), clear speed is awesome, can't do ultimatums but breaches, blight and harbingers are a piece of cake.

Now one of the biggest issue here is that somehow i can not see how do you get mana leech on your build, and mana is being a huge issue when boss fighting, sometimes on a breach or legion encounter it gets ugly because of that.

I'll leave my POB here if you have any advice but a solid build indeed

Disclaimer 1st though, this is based on current league numbers and not accounting patch notes changes.

Ok here are some of the things you can improve on:
1. You're using the wrong amulet, you need REPLICA Hyrri's Truth for the Hatred mana reservation, not the original version. Then you can run Hatred

2. You should not link Summon Skitterbots to Bonechill yet until you got a helm enchant with reduced mana reservation for Skitterbots.

3. Your Herald of Ice should not be linked to any support gems that affect its mana reservation (currently your build is linking with Culling Strike which increases its mana reservation)

4. Your current gem level for Precision is too high, try to reduce until you get a decent mana pool while maintaining a 100% hit chance (and your Enlighten becomes level 3)

Doing all of the 4 above should allow you to manage your mana reservation better.

5. Mana leech is gained from Soul Raker (claw node under influence of Lioneye's Fall), path to it immediately.

6. Your Brutal Restraint jewel should've been left for later and tree should be focused more to path towards Shadow Tree area in the mean time. (Unallocate Flash Freeze, Weapon Artistry and Path of the Lynx and path towards Shadow tree first)

7. Voidfletcher

8. Higher roll of flat added cold damage on Hyrri's Ire

9. Curse on Hit rings (If Assasin's Mark is too expensive, get one with Frostbite temporarily)

10. The reason you're dying quite a bit is because you're still lacking 3 vital components of your mitigation (Enduring Composure from small cluster jewel for endurance charge generation, Wind Ward ascendancy skill and chance to blind from Claws of the Hawk notable). Once you get these things should be much smoother.

I've tinkered around with your POB so you can refer to it here:
