How does LA + Frost wall work. Can anyone give a detailed guide on it or point me to one? Guessing deadeye is best for that

I had best results stacking frost walls behind the target (for ice shot, in front of them). It can be really finicky though because most targets aren't stationary. The ones that flicker strike or leap strike you are a serious pain.

I'm running poison assassin on a new character I'm playing with my wife. I'm not sure what the best support set-up is though. GMP, Pierce and PPAD are obvious. After that it's less clear. Any ideas?

Slower Projectiles will double-dip with the poison (triple with the bleed!). I don't think Weapon Elemental Damage is particularly useful as we're not converting anything to lightning damage. Poison could work fine; if we don't run it we need to run Snakebite instead, and I can't think of anything better to link up. Anything better that would make it worth replacing Poison with Snakebite gloves? Increased Critical Damage maybe? We'd lose out by switching off of Maligaro's but we'd gain a lot of multiplier. There's also Void Manipulation but I'm not sure if the DPS gain there is better than something like Increased Critical Damage. If it wasn't for the Assassin node it would be strictly worse than just running Poison.

I am doing the same build and asked myself the same questions. What is your main skill btw? I am mostly considering frenzy and TS. When i reach 5 linked i will use poison support first and see how it works. I am also thinking about using reach of the council for some time. Do you think that is any good?

reach of the council sounds like a really solid option

poison is soo strong with TS would always use it as a 6th link

Reach is still a 6L, since you need to have Increased Crit Strikes to make it remotely tolerable.

Higher pDPS Harbs will always be better.

I think you're being a bit overdramatic. Increased Crit Strikes gives it 447 PDPS afaict, which is up there with insane Harbingers. Plus, people ran Voltaxic last season which had the same base (Spine Bow). The bow will probably cost what a decent Harbinger would given how it only drops from the Pale Council.

I'm not too worried about the crit base given how I'm running Assassin. The ICS gem won't even be necessary.

Don't know where that calculation came from but sure, you're the boss.
