Here's my tree and character stats and stuff. We actually have fairly similar bow passives, and you seem to like auras nodes too. I'd be interested in what you think.

I'll take an in-depth look when I get a chance, looks interesting as I've based mine mostly around solo playing 95% of the time.

After checking out several guides I finally decided on giving your build a try, and I gotta say it works really well, even with my pretty mediocre gear.

One thing which has been nagging at me is, why do you use Fireball/Arctic Breath with Barrage? Why not go with Ethereal Knives again? I only have a 4l to try it on so I tried Fireball and it seemed pretty weak compared to EK.

Anyways, thanks for posting the build, it's a ton of fun to play!

Yeah I settled on Fireball since it recently got buffed, and can shotgun things. It does nearly 2x damage than freezing pulse, and all projectiles hit one target. I dont think all of EKs projectiles can hit one target, and Arctic Breath is the cold counterpart to FB.

Another good thing is that GMP helps both Barrage get more hits and Fireball get more damage, but yeah it only works being close up to targets. Lots of possibilities that's the good thing about CoC, trying new combos is fun.
