Winds of change is not good for this build?

Give it a go but on first sight it looks like a bad choice. A penalty to movement speed, the loss of potential resists, attack speed and the negative effects of knock back are too many downsides.

Remember that knock back pushes mobs outside point blank range. You already have this problem with Chin Sol and King of the Hill. The more knock back you have, the less effective this build becomes.

I have been running the build with blood rage, it works pretty well.

Hey! Got inspired by your build and I have started running a ice shot character myself.
I was thinking a bit about changing up the conversion you have from Pyre and do a lightning variant. Welp, i think thats not possible, unless you use Three Dragons with Pyre, then you can shock, but thats kinda not worth it. The burn you have here is probably nothing to sneeze at.

Do you think running a good Horned Talisman with drillneck would be good?

Absolutely! Close to impossible to get a rare t4 with 70% pierce chance and great affixes but if you get it, get the 4 pierce nodes from the tree and use pierce as 6th link you could do some insane deeps...

Thanks! I was considering the t2 talisman with 35% pierce.

Regarding Point Blank: Its damage does not longer drop to 100% less when firing at long range or off-screening. It scales the damage in a boundary of 100%, from +50% near you to -50% at long range.

Dealing with ele reflect you could set up puncture with maybe void manipulation, rapid decay and poison, would that make sense?

Just wanted to point out that Ice shot does benefit from quality now (since 2.0), it's 1% cold damage per quality.

really cool build, i love hard hitting chars
