Im playing a Frost-Zon,
Intend to play her dual phyiscal+frost and firearrow for immunes(cause fire arrow depends on physical dmg)

My intended low budged gear is:

Peasent crown +whatever
Lionheart on whatever
Razortail
2/20 or 3/20 gloves, magic or 2/20 crafted/rare
War Trav would be nice

I compared almost all bows,
and I am gonna use
Goldstrike Arch (upgraed)
without the +dex and +ed from LH Im easily putting out 1,5k dmg/s with ~ 2,77 a/s and ~600 avg dmg

My question is:
Should I skill any of the physical dmg skills?
Guided arrow/strafe just for faster kill speed/more dmg on cold immunes?

I am gonna put full 20 points in fire arrow to have the maximum physical dmg converted to fire dmg

Mfing with bowa gg
I dont see why use fire arrow>strafe?? There arent many CI PI monsters
Also strafe good for bosses i maxed strafe for mine

Instead of skilling too much in stuff u dont really need, if ur playing hc, skill d/e/a, if not, w/e, pump into dmg.

yeah im playing hc

@BMar
I rather play 1 char over 1 ladder and find everything myself with that char, then play 5+ chars and farm everything with whatever and switch items whenever I want.
Im not 100% for strafe cause I play HC

...
Definetly max valkyrie points in dea
Few points in strafe
Max freezing arrow? (The high dmg one)+ dmg synegy
Then work on ar with penetrate and get crit dmg up


Fire arrow is still illogical imo

forgot.

Max Valk = can get you to hell ancients easily.
Max Cold Arrow and Strafe (or enough for 10 arrow spread) before upgrading Freezing Arrow (1 base, then 5 then 10 until you have points to max by 87/88/89 dependent on items etc)
Pierce skill to 69% if using Razortail.
1 base Crit Strike (upgrade if you want, dependent on your style or preference)
1 base Penetrate (upgrade if you feel you need Attack Rating)

You don't need to rely on Fire dmg, but that is your choice.

Use cold damage items to increase your freeze length, a 1-2 cold damage charm increases it by 1 second in hell difficulty, these items (Ravenfrost and duress add as wel, since they have cold damage effects)... I personally like combined prefix/suffix cold damage charms... they are very handy to use. And yes, you can find Max damage / cold damage small charms... hard to find, that is why I reroll them often.

If using /P8, then kill everything from level 1 in every area to act 5 in each difficulty, by the time you kill Hell Baal, you should be level 88 minimum. Note: this is NOT re-running areas also.
