I see that you use mirage archer for bosses becouse of Rupture. Whats the best support(same color) i can replace it with for maps in general? Add Cold Damage or something else? Not really a fan of that ghost hehe
Another thing is about the frenzy skill. Do you use it before barrage to keep the frenzy charges up? or is it for something else that im missing? on your setup its with ice golem and blink arrow, i guess its just where you have a free socket, right?
Once more, sorry for noobish questions. Im starting to use POB, but im still learning and getting kinda lost there...
Got to start and using the lioneye's fall.

You can replace it with added cold/cold pen.
Frenzy is to generate frenzy charges in boss fights.
Okay.. this build is starting to really draw me in. Maybe it is because of the gear. So to understand this completely before I go full farm mode, ideally a want a Spine Bow ilvl75 to make this splendid bow. Are there any other requirements in order to craft? Such as mapping, etc? Or can anyone go in and craft the bow? The reason I ask is because I've yet to craft anything this league and I want to make sure that I can actually have legitimate chance to make the bow.

Thank you in advance for your time!
It definitely looks like a solid build!
Check the gearing advice section. The bow is the final touch to the build really, and your biggest risk/reward investment. Good ones are very expensive atm, and crafting one that is actually significantly better than any cheap unique option is not that easy.
There are several unique options that offer high base crit/ias on top of other mods that will beat a badly rolled Shaper's.
The reason why the build shines is in the quiver and support uniques for it.
If you desperately want to start with a crafted bow, pick a Spine/Marraketh/Thicket or Imperial bow (they are like the 4 best choices for weighted base AS/Crit), and hope to get one with that Shaper's roll as well as at least AS or Crit, optimally both. Anything else on top is just gravy and makes it that much better.
As an example: on my current setup a Spine bow with 25crit/9ias and the Shaper's roll does not beat my Windripper, due to its inherent very high crit and AS.
If you want a solid bow to farm with i would actually heavily recommend picking a Windripper, you can farm red maps very comfortably with it and work on getting a great Shaper's bow for actual Shaper/Elder/Ubers farming.

Thanks for your response! I truly appreciate it and the time you took to write it. So the bow does need to have the mod or at least be designated as "shaper" in order to spam alts, etc in making it. I've taken a look at the existing bows with those types and they feel underwhelming at the moment. I'll have to take some time to consider all aspects before investing.

It needs to be a "shaped" base bow, and one of the "Shaper's" prefixes possible is the one in question. Optimally ilvl 75, at least over ilvl 68 (anything above 75 is ok too, it'll just have a larger pool of potential rolls that we're not really interested in like high phys).
