Yes and yes.

You need a sunder charm for fire immunes., and a lot of facets. Lookup maxroll for the standard build

still good and yeah, you need infinity. unlike fb builds like yours or a -30w + phoenix build, a bow sorc doesn't have a lot of -efr.

i made one a couple weeks ago.

it was fun to play for 1 hour... then respecd to fb.

it is fkn hilarious because it feels like you are walking around with a shotgun.

it blows up cows faster than a lightsorc

but in order to make the damage fun to play, you have to give up a metric shit ton of stuf making it not quite viable... and in the end you are just playing a much slower and les efficient fb sorc...

I enjoy the demon machiene sorc more than fb, its is stupid fast in cows and chaos, i really dont think you need infinity.
its a super cheap build and does shit tons of damage to packs of monsters, more often than not 5x as much damage as fireball and to more of an area.
most builds you give up fcr and mf, but i love it for cows and chaos.
