Dont underestimate this comment bros, the lightning /ice zon is super good and in my opinion the best legit play through, it's just super annoying not having weapon switch

But ya gothic for the cold strafe build, and it doesnt have to be expensive because most of your strafe damage comes from boneflesh open wounds, the build can be done with a shotty bow and mostly uniques and set items

ira belt for 5 min
bfists for 5 min
9 min rings /amulet
biggins, gtoes for slight damage boost
twitch for ias 80% ias bp

went with magic arrow instead of guided for the +20 damage

The build totally works in PvP too (Vs other zons).

I would suggest the following adjustments though;

Helm
2 min
15 Dex
60 life
Tri Res

Boots
30 Run
Str
Dex
Tri Res

I would also check out deaths and use a 2min, 15 Dex, 60 life, Tri Res mage plate.

You should be able to allocate more points into vit (aim for 700 hp or so, enough to take a hit and leech back up with the fast IAS). With the items mentioned you'll stack the Res up too ;)
