I am curious how you would build the passive tree with my build in 3.16 because you have different set of ideas and thoughts and knowledge when it comes to iceshot builds. I just want to see what you would do differently so I can compare your ideal build to mine.

Just FYI, items with inherent spell dodge mod is now replaced with spell suppression, but not yet updated in POB.

I wouldn't try calculating actual DPS in POB, mostly because I don't really know how they calculate the POB numbers for voidshot in full DPS so I can scale it properly (additional arrow / overlap aoe / etc.?) and voidshot itself contributes to alot of the build's DPS. Ice shot cone simply doubles the Ice shot DPS due to arrow + cone hitting the enemy.

On the build itself, they'd definitely cost more than 1ex (6L gear, Hyrri's Ire, Voidfletcher, Death's Opus, Lioneye Jewel are quite substantial, more so during early league) so I'm just trying to manage your expectation. Anyway:

-The mastery inc. crit chance from spell suppression doesn't seem to work with acrobatics if converted to spell dodge, not sure working as intended or a bug.
-Not sure what you fiddled around with in your POB but your DPS is extremely weak at a 6L support. To give a comparison my build (provided, with end game gear but using Death's Opus) could get higher DPS at 1L (only Ice Shot, no support). Tried skimming through your POB but I'm not sure why it's like that.

It's good that you tried to create your own build, but my advice is if you're trying to learn on how to do it better is by following a build guide to the letter (not necessarily mine) and make changes later based on your experience with it. For example you're willing to sacrifice some DPS for defense, make changes according to it with that goal in mind. Some people prefer more DPS, so they can forgo some of the defense mechanics that I've specced into and so on.

Got it, I learned about the changes with the spell dodge mod a few minutes later than my post, and thanks for spending your time to take a look at the pob. Usually I do what you are saying here, follow a build guide to the letter and changing when I think it'll suit my playstyle. I just tried to do something, just to take a look on eHP that we could get using acrobatics. And you are right didn't even thought about the 6L gear when I said that. I'll probably follow your guide, my attempt was kinda like "hey look what I did, maybe it'll help u giving some different idea, and i'll try to learn something of it".

Thank you so much again for the answer!

was looking at the defenses stats of your build in the original post 130K Ehp.. now with your 3.16 WIP its only 25k?

ranger defenses weren't just cut in half. It was gutted, taken out back to be shot, and then shot again repeatedly.

I wonder what class/ascendancy distribution will look like on league start

Im glad i started with this on 3.16.
Build concept still holds up, its possible to be "tanky" with evasion and spell suppresion stacking, although i gave up life for more dps. Ghost shrouds is really cool and kinda works as better version of wind dancer if you invest in es/ev nodes ( pathing to es is troublesome now on ranger, thats why i will try to squeeze in Energy from within before i find a decemt legion jewel).
