Build Guide

A flexible cold build which can also benefit from some fire if you have it. Follows the same conventions as a typical sentry build. A Kridershot is highly recommended but the 2.1 Etrayu with +elemental damage is also great. Swap Awareness for Engineering if you don't have a Rucksack yet - and/or equip a 2.1 Holy Point Shot with bonus elemental damage (you will need to play more defensively without Awareness). Crossbows will hit harder but you will be firing much slower. The only time you would use a Hand x-bow is if you have a Calamity in a group for MFD. I personally prefer SS with healing but Vault + tumble is also a good choice.

+element on rings/amulets/bracer, bow (if Etrayu) and Quiver (if Holy Point Shot) - Max fire roll items are fine to equip if you have a couple of pieces
+sentry on Shoulder/Chest/Quiver
+skill damage on boots - Multishot/Cluster Arrow or Elemental arrow are all viable options - Elemental Arrow is king if you have a Kridershot
keep in mind you will have to sacrifice a primary on rings/amulets for legendary gems - there is on-going discussion on which stat to sacrifice to reroll a socket if you have trifecta or quadfecta items but early speculation seems to recommend rerolling mainstat or attack speed to keep offensive stats eg: ele/cc/chd/socket - this is of course entirely up to your specific gearing and paragons - so take it with a grain of salt!

Distribute Paragons where appropriate - max the stats you are lacking first.
