Gear Setup

Weapon

22% increased Elemental Damage with Attack Skills
----------------------------------------------------------
52% increased Physical Damage
Bow Attacks fire 2 additional Arrows
74% increased Elemental Damage with Attack Skills
Can have up to 3 Crafted Modifiers
Adds 35 to 69 Cold Damage
10% increased Attack Speed

Currently using multimod bow, super late game bow, i dont suggest you try to craft it yet, it can get really expensive.

Both Death's Opus and Chin Sol,are really good on their own way, Death's Opus give's us +2 arrows and more crit multi, while chin sol gives us more flat/overall dps,so id say get chin sol if you have dying sun.

Gloves

18% increased Projectile Attack Damage
------------------------------------------------
+59 to maximum Life
+44% to Fire Resistance
+44% to Cold Resistance
+46% to Lightning Resistance
30% increased Damage while Leeching

Griped gloves with life-resist, try to get Increased damage against chilled enemies, kinda expensive to find with good life roll and resistances.

Also Hands of the Hands of the High Templar rly good choice, huge dps with +1 frenzy and curse enemies with eleweakness.

Belt

Always go for stygian vise with ele dmg, good life roll and resistances

Helmet

Barrage fires an additional Projectile
------------------------------------------
+92 to maximum Life
Regenerate 33.4 Life per second
+38% to Cold Resistance
Nearby Enemies have -9% to Cold Resistance
20% increased Evasion and Energy Shield
+15 to maximum Life

Rare helmet with +1 Barrage Arrow, really important for extra dps,if u have the currency try to craft -9 cold res.

You also need INT (MUST), good life roll and resistances, always craft it your self.

Fractal thoughts is also a really good choice and huge DPS boost. (NOTE that you'd probably need INT from somewhere else)

Body Armour

For armor im using Farrul's Fur, probably the best armor in the game, if not, one of the best for sure, free aspect of the cat, and instant max frenzy/power charges.

But Since its really expensive you can always go for Hyrri's Ire

Rings

+28% to Lightning Resistance
--------------------------------
+49 to Dexterity
23% increased Global Critical Strike Chance
9% chance to Freeze
Curse Enemies with Frostbite on Hit, with 32% increased Effect
Adds 16 to 35 Cold Damage against Chilled or Frozen Enemies
+55 to maximum Life

For rings you should run Mark of the elder with a good DPS shaper influenced rare ring, any sort of dps helps, try to get a good implicit ( two-stone )

Tamings are really bad imo, you should never run them, besides the fact that they give 0 hp what so ever, mark of the elder and a good DPS rare ring outdamages double taming

Quiver

I'm using Voidfletcher since it gives very good single target dmg cause of the void shots, the other stats are nice to. Try to get Phys converted to cold implicit, if its expensive just try to get anything else besides pierce

For a more budget option on quiver you could go Hyrri's Denise or Hyrris Bite even.

A rare quiver with +1 isnt bad for league starting, but no matter the mods its not gonna out dps the voidfletcher.

Boots

+84 to maximum Life
+33% to Cold Resistance
25% increased Movement Speed
9% chance to gain Elusive on Critical Strike
33% increased Effect of Non-Damaging Ailments
+17% to Fire and Lightning Resistances

Try to get attack speed enhance boots and ELUSIVE for defense layer and extra MS, and then craft the rest of the mods your self, good life roll and some resistances shouldn't be TOO hard to craft.You also need to craft Onslaught With movement speed, huge dps boost, (by 300k according to pob).

Tier 3 craft isnt mandatory but the 20 MS improves quality of life

Amulet

Allocates Whispers of Doom
-------------------------------
+28 to Intelligence
Grants Level 20 Aspect of the Cat Skill
30% increased Global Critical Strike Chance
+28% to Global Critical Strike Multiplier
6% increased Damage per Frenzy Charge
49% increased Elemental Damage with Attack Skills
+53 to maximum Life

Good DPS Amulet with dmg per frenzy, resistances arent really needed here, just try to get as much dps as possible

Notice that a rare amulet like this one costs a lot

The Pandemonius is a very good choice also, provides cold pen,blind and cold dmg, way more dps than a rare amulet.

Jewels

You want to get Lioneye's Fall ASAP, its probably the most important piece of equipment for this build.

A flat cold damage watcher's eye is also really nice,it gives us a lot of dps and its rly not that expensive (2-3 ex give or take).

Adds # to # Cold Damage while affected by Hatred

Get thread of hope MEDIUM ring to allocate Disciple of the Slaughter and Disciple of the Unyielding, gives us about 1.5m dps and some defense layer

Cluster jewel with Cold Conduction and Stormrider, gives us about 2mil dps, since we are shocking with cold dmg, super strong cluster jewel.

Flask

Dying sun is a MUST, cinderswallow not rly, if you dont have the currency for it or dying sun, just get a normal onslaught flask and quartz flask.Get normal diamond flask instead of bottled faith,it should be the last item u buy.
