Thank you!

Edit: The build in your original post isn't working for me.

Can you elaborate?

When I open the link it says "The build you are trying to load is using an old version of the passive tree and will not work"

I reworked past builds for our current .9.13.i patch & posted them below the newly rewritten first post.

0.9.13.i level 74 ice shot-lightning arrow build I saw the pop up error when it loaded. I must admit that I didnt allow the browser to load that far when first testing the links so I never saw it! Sorry for the confusion.

Ice Shot, Flammability/Conductivity/Frostbite & the elemental penetrations did not exist back in August when I began what at the time was an unconventional side project. The early variations would have greatly benefited from these new gems. Especially the resolute technique variant. Maybe someone can test it!

This build started with a Quill Rain & Explosive Arrow. EA has gone by the wayside of late but should still be considered a viable strong attack. With the increased AOE passives that 360* explosive radius gets quite large. Stack crit & burning damage & off you go.

Has anyone tried DH & Ice Shot in PvP? The chilled effect is incredibly strong. Try it out for yourself with a quiver that gives increased stun duration. My buddy was using a Dream Fragments & that Cannot Be Stunned ammy. He was raging trolol cause he was frozen & stunned on his screen. On my screen he was moving & attacking very very slowly. I am interested to hear about other people's experience in pvp under similar circumstances.

Thanks, you should also post your gear :)

I switch up gear constantly, based on the situation. These builds discussed do not require top notch gear. The 6l is really a 4l with Rarity & Quantity plugged in. You dont need a single 5l to be successful. I apologize because at this moment my links are jacked up. My newest project, a dual wand duelist with twin terrors, jacked all my shadow's loot :P

That build sounds interesting, have you made a post about it or are you still working on it?

Not yet, havent had much time to test. I managed to get power siphon to almost 6k with 4 frenzy & power charges goin. It feels like flying a kite in a hurricane! Ill link a post if I get a chance to finish testing.

I was thinking how about two totems if you're already and going for templar nodes, why not get the 2nd totem and remove the soul siphon nodes which wont help you in PvP anyways and grab the Eldrich battery instead? I also sacrificed some +30Dex nodes for some extra life on the way to the totem.

The build might be little lacking with points, but I think I could remove Inner force which wont be a big deal if I'll be using 2 auras and not more, since in PvP not like you got time to cast more without extra casting speed.

And what do you think about going CI instead of all that life?

Something like this (shadow):





P.S. I also tried to make something from the templar start... Everything is perfect. Fit. A lot elemental damage, 2 totems, chill duration increase, good defenses including CI, however no attack speed increase...

This (templar):



or this (Templar Life/Armor/1totem + heading to ranger start for att. speed passives) :




What do you think of these builds PvP/PvE wise? And is it worth getting Nimbless (3 nodes = 10% cast speed) for faster totem deployment? Of course if cast speed does that.. lol

I really like the shadow build you linked first. That looks like wicked fun & viable for pvp. I will be hard pressed to ever give up Soul Siphon. Too many mobs die at the same time from 1 attack to deny all that free mana. The DEX will be needed for higher lvl bows, should you come across one too good to be ignored.

LOL i just thought of something. You could equip 2 wands with high cast speed to cast your auras (i use 4) then switch back.

Im glad you found alternative variations. There are legit ideas being tossed around which is good for everybody.

DW Twin Terrors Power Siphon + Chain Spec

Does Ice Shot benefit from AoE increases? Going towards PvP should I keep those nodes?
