[3.0] The Frozen Queen { Conversion Tornado Shot + Barrage }

Pros:

Can freeze very high life targets.
High damage scaling.
Great map and boss clear.

Cons:

Low amount of life.
Not very budget friendly.

Progression:

Level as bow just fine. Killed all for bandits and later respec into alira for the all res and delicious crit multi. Can use Death's Harp and the fated version, Death's Opus, to easily cruise through the acts without much difficulty. Will want to make sure you have enough life and resist's for the gear check fights like Kitava and Brine King.

Some unique leveling items include:

Wanderlust
Goldrim
Foxshade
Meginord's Girdle
Ondar's Clasp
Karui Ward

Jewel Setup

For bossing I run Raider and Assassin. For maps I run Elementalist and Raider for my two ascendant classes. Elementalist basically makes you able to ignore single target elemental reflect all together when combined with 25% from pantheon and 10% from the tree. Raider provides frenzy charge generation versus bosses as well as onslaught while at max frenzy charges.

This build uses a lot of unique items.


The rigwald's quiver works great with tornado shot because after the tornado shot has finished piercing, it will then fork. This quiver gives you free fork without the damage penalty you receive from the actual skill gem itself.



Asphyxia's Wrath is a great quiver for single target damage.



The Pandemonius is a great amulet for boss fights.


Alpha's howl grants immunity to being frozen which allows me to use 2 unique flasks, a quicksilver flask of adrenaline, and a jade flask of reflexes while only needing staunching on my diamond flask.


These are the main build enabling unique that is utilized. With these gloves equipped and the 40% physical damage conversion to cold on the tree you are 90% cold damage so that cold penetration can really take effect.


Great choice for body armor. Provides a lot of movement speed when you get a high amount of evasion.

Tornado shot and barrage link setup is optimized to provide the most amount of damage multipliers. Grace and hatred are a personal preference, with the option of haste for lower tier maps. If you don't have enlighten 4 you can use herald of ice or artic armour instead. The rest of the gem setup is fairly straight forward.

Level 99 Mapping Passive Tree
Level 100 Bossing Passive Tree

The reason I chose to start ranger for my choice of ascendant starting points was because I felt like it was the most point optimal place. The tree has been designed to allow the most defense and offense possible.

For the major god I chose Soul of Arakaali. Build does not use a grounding flask for shock immunity. For the minor god I chose Sould of Yugul for the reduced reflected damage taken for elemental.

Try and kill enemies off screen with tornado shot as much as possible. Make sure that you keep your flasks up as much as possible as this build has no block and little to no damage mitigation.
