Elemental Ranger build

Greetings, fellow Exiles.

Can anyone help me make build for my Elemental bow Ranger.
I'm currently in the Act 3 on both of my characters (merc and ranger respectively).

I have zero problem with Merc, and i have clear view how to progress my build further.

I'm not really struggling as Ranger right now, but i don't really see a way how to progress further into a game. To clarify: I’m trying to make classic bow based elemental Ranger build (I’m not trying to use poison).

So far, I’ve found 3 ways to deal damage:
1. "Freezing Salvo", it is great skill when fully charged, but it cant be used constantly, you have to wait until it accumulate charges.
2. To place some "Lightning rod's" on the ground and trigger explosions around them by "Lightning arrow" - Such combo can be used to clear trash mob's but, single target wise, it's weak (i have merc to compare).
3. "Barrage" - great skill damage wise, but fills like dead end, because it's not elemental skill and i don't see any way for skill independent Phys. to Ele. conversion in the game. Triple ele. bow probably also not an option, because without Trinity support it's not optimal.

I analyzed skills not available for me right now but unfortunately i don't see any skill what can be used as Endgame main source of damage. May be i'm missing something?

Any idea how to make classic elemental bow Ranger?

I'm using a lightning arrow, lighting rod combo and I melt bosses so far in cruel. Just scaling pure lighting and elemental damage. I'm trying to stack some INT so I can get cast on shock and the orb of lightning (not sure if that's the right name) to stack even more damage. I'll post a video later.

Playing Deadeye game is easy mode for the most part.

I dunno know about how you feel, but I think this counts as good single target.

I'm playing Lightning Arrow+Lightning Rod Deadeye.

I have a question that I think is pretty important to have answered in regards to Elemental Ranger Builds so I'm posting in this thread to contribute to the discussion.

I got my 3rd and 4th Ascendancy points now and I'm stuck a little because the game is not clear in its description of the Chaining Lightning Beams from Lightning Arrow.

Do the Chaining Lightning Beams from Lightning Arrow count as Projectiles?

Some said yes, I'm pretty sure yes is the correct answer but I can't find a factual answer.

Second, if they(the Chaining Lightning Beams) do count as Projectiles do they then benefit from the Point Blank ascendancy passive? The Point Blank passive states that Projectiles deal 20% more Hit damage in the first 3.5 metres of their movement.

I'm pretty sure the Chaining Lightning Beams have no movement in that sense, so does that mean they don't gain any benefit from the Point Blank passive because they would need to have movement to them to gain benefit, or is it enough that they are Projectiles and no inherent movement of the beams is required, and it's just that if the Projectile does move it has the benefit only the first 3.5 meters, but any Projectile that does not have such movement still gets the benefit of 20% more damage?

Confusing to be honest as the game, in my opinion, fails to clarify any of this.

An arrow shot from a bow has inherent movement to it and travels further and further, obviously.
As I understand it the Chaining Lightning Beams do not have such movement, instead they directly chain from Point A to Point B.

Sorry if my question is not clear and sorry for the ramble. I'm tired.

I have tried both point blank and far shit. The combo felt awful without point blank. I'm not sure if it works on the rods, as the rods are not projectiles, nor is their effect a projectile.
