[3.1] Raider - Ice Shot/Barrage / Everything Viable / 1 Week in League / Awesome Swag

Yo,

long time no Guide.
This time an IceShot-Build as a Raider.

This one is about full cold conversion.
Ice Shot clears rapidly with only a 5 link.
For Single Target we use Barrage
and benefit from all the ele/penetration nodes.

Done all content already but the build has lot of space to improve:
6L Ice Shot, Dying Sun, Helm Enchant, proper Jewellery, higher Lvl, ....

Look through the Guide and don't hesitate to comment and criticise.
Here we go:

Endgame fights and tips

Atziri: Faceroll
Uber: Vaals - bring both to low life, use lightning trap on both. Kill em simultaneously.
Trio - Titty Bitch first, dodge her spears! Fire dude and cycloner last
Atziri - Avoid Spells, close range Barrage her. Split phase: Lightning trap and full flask power on spear guy (that's what I do, others do different ;) )

UberLab: Blink Arrow behind and full power barrage facetank!

Guardians: Simple damage dealing; dodge balls in Hydra, explosion in Phoenix, 'tunneling attack' from Mino; Careful with Chimera, he can go nuts.

Shaper: Safe all flasks for phases where he shoots balls and autoattacks you. Then pump in a load of arrows, he will drop quickly. Be careful with the 2nd phase of the black dude. He is not immune to knockback, so his balls shoot around like crazy. Vortex placement not in the middle!

Under Construction

seems okay...some video would be great.

Looks very nice! What would be the 6th link for Ice shot? Some videos would be awesome, but I will try this anyways :)

Hey!
As a 6th link either Added Cold or Hypothermia!

Would be nice to see some Guardians/Shaper videos if possible. Finally a build what isn't hard to gear and don't require xx Exalts so im curious of the kills.

whats the advantage of ice shot over LA?

Why do you have Generosity in your helmet? It doesn't work with Heralds I think...

Nah, that has no purpose. I just had a red slot free and put the next red gem there that dropped on the ground. :d

I just wanted to try the jewels after the Pierce rework. And i haven't played a bow build in ages. I guess you can modify this as well to work with LA but you would have to drop the cold convert nodes and use phys to light for full lightning build

Can you suggest which mods to aim for in rare gear while leveling?
Which directions in the passive tree do you head to first?
