How much would this build benefit (if at all) from having access to "arrows chain +1 time", like from a corrupted quiver?
Or are other quiver corrupts more beneficial?

Thanks :)

Just wanted to give my thoughts on the build. Just completed 38 challenges and done for the league. Great and fun build to do 99% of the challenges. Deathless Sirus/Maven/the 4 new bosses. Did it all with my gear below that I bought days 1-3 of the league for a total of 10-15ex. It's inherent to the playstyle but sometimes the 0.5 second it takes for the ballista to start doing damage after being summoned sometimes got me killed since I like to Dash right up to packs. Had no problem doing 4-mod Archnemesis mobs. Just cast and run around basically.

I will say though, even though single target calls for switching Barrage support for Hypothermia (or some other single target gem), I actually prefer keeping Barrage support in even during my Sirus/Maven/Pinnacle boss kills. It just felt smoother, not sure if it went faster, but that's just my preference.

The only content I couldn't do were the Elderslayers Invitation with 60%+ quantity and the Feared Invitation. I didn't have enough dps. But I'm happy enough since my gear all in is about 10ex to have done everything else.

Great build for the league overall. Good luck to everyone with the build.

Gear

Maybe it was a mistake in your post but I just wanted to point it out in case anyone read your post. You're supposed to use Barrage for bossing, not the other way around.

To add on to what Recovery said, you're using a harvest craft on your chest piece that has 0% quality so you don't get any benefit from it.

Pierce has priority over chain, and siege ballista has 9 pierce targets, so chain will work only with your Frenzy setup (or whatever you have instead).
The best corrupted implicits should be: +1 arrow > flat cold damage > flat phys damage

With the new currency I crafted attack speed on my gloves as an implicit, but I just found out it doesn't work. If you are using that, replace it.

Does anyone know if this is still the case?

I thought anything that affected your character also affects your totems? So since siege ballista is an "attack" wouldn't attack speed on some gear help?

I'm pretty sure they are affected by Onslaught when you have the cluster jewel equipped, which grants attack speed.
