I'm currently using UE6 and DML with an ancient legendary odysseys end. My max so far was GR 50 without any fishing. My set up Is Companion (Wolf), Prep( invigoration) vault (tumble), MFD (contagion), Evasive fire (focus) and MS(arsenal).
Focus/restraint eclipses any other ring combination IMO, 100% multiplicative damage bonus is just absolutely amazing.
For gems I'm using BoT, Zei's Stone, and Iceblink. Iceblink turns your EF focus into your slow and provides 10% crit on chilled targets which at high gear levels(400%+ CHD) works out to be quite a large damage increase, and since you will use this regularly to restore resources you will have a pretty good amount of the mobs you fight slowed proccing bane of the trapped and CTW.
I would really like to find an ancient Bariza with 2X pierce, I feel like this would make EF focus absolutely amazing as a slow especially on large groups of trash.
This brings me to passives. I'm using steady aim, cull the weak, ballistics, awareness, and when I get a decent hellfire amulet ill be using night stalker.
The stat priority I'm going with is as follows CHD>CHC>RCR. Obviously full MS dmg on boots,helm, quiver and Hatred regen on chest/quiver( as its better than RCR with 1 2H xbow. Discipline on every item I can have it on.
What do you guys think, is there anything i could do different that would make this better?(is there a certain point at which RCR would be more valuable than CHC?) right now im at 62.5% crit +10% from iceblink and almost 500% CHD
Ancient Legendary, best weapon I've found/crafted so far. Has RCR good damage and Discipline on it already. I havent had any luck crafting a nice ancient arcane barb otherwise I would be using that.

I'm not questioning the other qualities of your weapon. You are putting aside 20-25% damage increase by not using Entangling Shot while using Odyssey's End.This weapon will not automatically trigger any buff on its own, it totally depends on how well you perform with de-buffing targets with entangling shot in needed frequency. You can pick "justice is served" if you are worried about regaining hatred.
But resource management is not an issue since you should be using generator as a primary damage dealer along with MS. You can switch any skill or stat regarding resource cost or hatred regeneration by something more useful. To give a clue, you should be stacking AS again.
That's pretty valid. Initially i supposed that the debuff wouldn't last long enough to prove effective and it only applies to two targets instead of 3 like focus does so i had opted not to use it. However that was before i was getting up to 48+ where your casting your generator more frequently and relying on it for the hatred regen.
I switched to justice is served instead earlier today but haven't had the opportunity to actually try some high GRs with it yet as i need to level another gem to replace Iceblink.
I still don't see attack speed as being a viable option, and I think ultimately Odysseys end will be an inferior weapon compared to a nice 2 handed crossbow. compared to the value of crit chance/ crit damage / socket on jewelry it just does not compare.
I believe with Nighstalker most of my hatred issues will be resolved anyways especially using 2HXbow. I think Iceblink in terms of DPS increase will beat all the other gems. 10% crit when you have 500% crit dmg is a 50% damage increase. I know it doesn't work exactly like that but close enough for my purposes. Really want to get my hands on an ancient Bariza but until they ill use Entangling shot and see how far I can push.

Why in the world are you using Odyssey's End if you won't use entangling shot and benefit from its special affix?!
