Space's CoC Windripper Build (2 Million dps!?) Build Of The Week #7 [now w/ 1.2 tree]

When i started playing this build i didn't have a windripper either, used a doomfletch instead and i can tell you it was not fun at all to play, the spells were triggered so incredibly unreliably that it just did not feel satisfying, and the 20% flat nerf to CoC just completely kills this option imo. Maybe you should look into the wand version of this build, as wands can have a higher crit chance than even windripper, but obviously you miss out on the iir/iiq.
I think a wand-tree has been posted here already, not sure if that already was on 1.2 and i did not check it, so I don't know if it's good or not.
Somebody else already asked for a ST version, but that would be a completely different build and does not belong in this thread.

For leveling I think I just used Freezing Pulse/lmp or something like that, works well with how the tree starts.

@EnerJ, you're probably right that for leveling its probably better to play with wand since high CC roll or dagger, until you get >9cc bow ideally Windripper.

Then with Windripper I can honestly say that I didn't really feel the difference after 20%cc nerf, with 20/20 gem we still got ~70% cc chance and the tree is so much better now than with 1.1. As I already said here, I strongly recommend you guys to try to head out for the spell CC passives that are on the north of the shadow tree and give a try to replace fireball with Ice Spear. You will feel a blast, the overall clearing speed is so good.

@Zeppelina as you could already figure it out, with windripper the build itself is much more effective than without it (1.7 aps, 10cc + you get IIR and IIQ extra).
So, Just hit 66 with my Ranger (finally!) so I can equip windripper, however not sure on what stuff to link. I got GGGBBB, for the greens, barrage, GMP, cast on crit obviously. However for the blues... which 3 of the following would be better? I'm following EnerJ's tree more or less:
Fireball, Arctic breath, Ice spear, Arc, concentrated effect.
Arctic Breath and ice spear would make for good cold damage>with cold doryani life leech... together with arc, chance to shock...or how good is concentrated effect? really no clue here.
Is it possible to play this build with any other weapon (Dagger, claw, etc)?
Im not that rich to buy a windripper.

Thanks
@Blackhane Definitely not Conc effect. I'm still trying out but I think I'll end up using Arc, Ice Spear, Fireball. My ice spear is only lvl 17 currently so until it's lvl 19/20 I don't wanna make a definitive decision.

@Marcio44 it's been aksed multiple times already, go for a wand.

What skills do you use to trigger CoC (Single target and multiple target)?

Hi, so I've been wanting to try this build ever since I saw it on Build of the Week, however I was always unable to afford a Windripper. I still don't have one and can't afford one yet, but I'm working hard to get one and hopefully the bow I have will be good enough until I can get one.

I've been reading the posts here and using mainly EnerJ's build I've come up with mine. It's not very different, but I made some changes and would like your input on them. I just felt like all the Phys/proj nodes were going to waste.

Considering Windripper is stupid hard to obtain right off the bat, how would using quill rain affect the overall dps until I acquire one?
