[3.11] YABB (Yet Another Bow Build) +5/+6 Ice Shot Chaingunner Delve 600+ Updated for 3.11

Hey I just got my two first ex of the league and was wondering what to prioritize in terms of purchase. I'm using a tabula, a death's HARP, hyrri's bite, and wasn't sure what to focus on what big budget item i should target first, don't have any of the jewels, no taming, no hyrri's ire, and none of the upgrade prophecies for the weapon. Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Personally I go in this order
Harp with a 125% phys roll and 50% crit implicit, then get the prophecy and upgrade.
Hyrri's second to upgrade. The added flat damage from stats begins to mount up by about level 70
Lioneye's Fall
Elder Ring with 18-20 Life Gained For Each Enemy Hit By Your Attacks.

Do NOT use Gloomfang until Elder ring is done

Then get Gloomfang, if you don't have the Elder, skip this till you do

Taming next to get the 120% increased ele from Demise and upto 40% res.

Green Dream / Nightmare next

Watcher's Eye last.

I'll add this to the FAQ

Would you get the flasks after or before the Watcher's Eye? Asking since Dying Sun can be pretty expensive as well.

This build needs a lot of work.. ice-shot is pretty bad, I have no clue how you guys are managing to kill any single target boss..

what do you think about the 1.8m damage setup that guy is using for ice shot vs yours?

Ice shot
Inspiration
Elemental Damage with attacks
Cold Penetration
Added Cold Damage
Hypothermia

Dude, you can have Barrage in your other link. Ice shot for clearing, barrage for single target. Ez pz.

Flasks first cos most are cheap. Dying sun is more QoL than anything cos +2 arrows is awesome

Im just wondering if its worth to get hyrri's ire 5 Link first then 6 Link later? for SA set. 3 EX for 5 L, 9+ EX for 6L

Hello, any idea if raider would be similar and more tankier? I'm dying a lot on metamorph in red map :@

Thinking about getting a neck +1 all dexterity gem with crit multi and attack elemental damage it gives much more dps for single target. So it would also us to swap that shit ring with life on hit for a much better dps ring.

Clear speed will be probably really decent anyway with chain support without the neck and deadeye. Avatar of slaugther will easily replace tailwind if we take 2 frenzy node on tree.
Looking for advise thank you :)

I am new to Ice Shot so I'd like to ask, how viable Barrage Support is with the skill?
Use it all the time or keep it on hand for boss fights only and replace mirage with it?
If drop in clear speed is not that substancial and u can run around with it all the time, then what to replace Mirage with as it's an utter waste of space on barrage type skills?

And as a side note, since I'm relatively new, can someone explain to me why Hypothermia, which I see in a lot of Ice Shot related builds? I see no immediate benefits to using that gem.
Sure freezing bosses every 10 hits on average doesn't sound bad. But as I understand it, Ice Shot doesn't have any cold damage over time effect that Hypothermia could boost and 39% more dmg to chilled doesn't work on any new mob group you haven't fired at yet (since in that case they aren't chilled yet). So even recently mentioned Inspiration support seems better at first glance. Hell even running Ice Bite along Added Cold on a non-raider character with just passive tree frenzy charges seems like a more appealing option - frenzy generation on killing frozen, 5% more freeze chance, lower than Add Cold but still substancial cold dmg and 1% per quality more dmg to frozen.
Unless I'm wrong and we do have some substancial cold over time damage hidden in the mechanics somewhere.
