[3.2] Cold Tornado Shot Slayer, Extremely Fun, SHAPER + RED ELDER DOWN, SHATTER EVERYTHING

Pros:

- Ultra fun and unique way to play slayer as bow character based on cold damage.
- Multiple defense layers - Acrobatics + Phase Acrobatics, never ending life leech, and pseudo vaal pact
thanks to Thief's Torment unique ring (it saved me from dying many many times).
- Reduced resistance cap for elemental weakness thanks to Thief's Torment down to 92-ish iirc
making the character vesy easy to gear resistance-wise.
- Temporal chains aren't that much a deal if you decide to not use Warding flask thanks to -50% curse effectveness on your ring.
- Very good in close range thanks to freezes and point blank keystone, providing 50% more damage.
- First hit we deal damage with always stuns enemy, making the usage of curse setup double effective,
as it will not only curse enemies but always stun them (with exception of stun immunity monsters)
- Our hits can't be evaded, so we don't care about attack rating at all.
- 6k life on ranged character, preety good imo.
- You have ~+10% iiq. yay!


Cons:

- +2 tornado shot sub-projectiles enchant is very important if you want to reach good single target damage, it was alot cheaper when i bought the helmet, price skyrocketed recently.
- If you don't use Lioneye's Vision, you must use other source of pierce such as poacher's aim unique jewels, but it is not that big drawback since we use projectile weakness curse anyway.
- It will never reach damage levels of more expensive bow builds since it's not crit focused build.
- Despite life pool of 6k we can still get 1-shotted on rippy map mods if not careful.
- Avoid ailments map mod sort of ruins idea of build, but it's still doable.

Passive tree :

Pantheon :
Minor - soul of shakari for poison immunity.
Major - free choice here, however Soul of Lunaris seems like best choice.

Why elemental overload?
Because with little investment in crit we get almost permamently 40% more damage.

Why vaal pact?
Because we are leeching forever, at double rate so that compensates lack of life regen.

Why acrobatics + phase acrobatics?
Because 30% avoid is better than some amount of armor in terms of taking huge hit in case someone screws up dodging by movement.

Why point blank?
Because it gives 50% more damage at close range. Also there is a sweet spot (around 53% more xD) when combined with far shot. Here is a graph proving that we preety much always profit from point blank:

Armor pieces:


Flasks (or should i say POTIONS!?!?):


Jewels:

Main setup :
Tornado Shot - Greater Multiple Projectiles - Added Cold - Elemental Damage With Attacks - Cold Penetration - Damage on Full life (always works because we are constantly leeching)

Curse setup :
Split Arrow - Chain - Curse on hit - Projectile Weakness
Stuns and curses enemies, projectile weakness is straight up more damage multiplier for us.

Utility :
Vaal Grace - Blood Rage - Decoy Totem - Increased Duration

Vaal grace for extra aviodance, can be replaced with Vaal Haste
Blood Rage - Frenzy Charge generation + attack speed
Decoy Totem - great for distracting bosses on maps, but mostly does not work on end game bosses.

Movement :
Blink Arrow - Faster Attacks (but link it unlike i did ;d)
It's just good and smooth way to get out from touble or jump over obstacles.

CWDT + Aura:
Cast When Damage Taken (1) - Immortal Call (3) - Hatred - Herald Of Ice
Standard setup, nothing special here

+ Portal gem somewhere
