Right, I worked on the build, used all points, and got enough intel to get all gems in build:

Do as you wish with it.

That skill tree makes no sense for this build, that's a crit/phys bow build, not a CoC/elemental/spell build. Also if you use all points you should probably pick up that power charge. Not to mention the points simply wasted (East of Shadow and next to Point blank).

Again, for newer players, this build needs absolutely ZERO physical damage, the bow attacks are simply there to trigger the linked spells which then do all the damage. All we need from the tree is Life, Evasion, Lots of crit chance, crit multipliers, attack speed, possibly Mana generation.

Hey guys, I've been using this build for a couple months now, it's been a ton of fun pre-patch and honestly i was a bit worried about the new tree. I've played with this tree

a bit now and i personally think the build has gotten stronger with the new patch.

1. I've lost about 500 life, but with life on hit and life on kill I've gained quite a bit more survivability.
2. Mana on hit + Mana on kill are now enough to spam both Split/lmp/Powerchargeoncrit/fasterattacks and the CoC setup infinitly, as long as you are hitting something.
It also enables me to run Grace + Any of the purity Auras + Herald of Ice (great synergy with the crazy speed you are spitting projectiles out and the amount of freezing you do with this build) with 57 mana left, which for now seems to be enough.
3. There's so many crit nodes on the tree that I'm currently only going for 4 power charges, I don't know if it would be more effective to pick up the fifth and spec out of some crit nodes. Also the higher base crit chance is great for building up power charges more quickly.
On a side note, the knockback on crit needs a bit of getting used to and might not suit everyone, it makes it harder to shotgun tanky mobs, but helps keeping melees away from you.

The CoC nerf is certainly noticeable, but since the individual spells do more damage now I don't think the overall damage went down.

Hope this helped a bit with getting into the new patch, and hoping for more experienced players to give me some ideas for improvement etc.!

I'm using the following gear:

It's far from perfect, but it works, I have 4.1k life and I'm overcapped on resists, so even with elemental weakness i have capped resists. The CWDT/IC setup is not all that great, but it prevents you getting two-shotted and gives you time to pop flasks.

Your build doesn't have enough int to run some of the spells also SWDT and IC is pointless if you can't 20/20 it
