TBH i dont think anyone will play a slow build like this, like noone is playing incinerate or other builds that need to stand still forever to kill something :) if its superstrong it might be in a build as single target or something, but in the current bow, BV and occasionally other stuff meta i dont see that becoming a thing

We can all agree that the standing still firing mechanics is shit, but depends on its damage value, the skill can actually be awesome.
BV is limited in mechanics: low range, has to constantly re-cast to maintain DPS. Yet we all know how broken it is currently.
Incinerate always has pretty bad mechanics as well: standing still, channeling, huge mana cost. However, it was still the best spell to use pre 2.1.

Just think about those limitations as trade-off when using a skill with obscene damage.
