Equipment

Look for these mods on rare items

- Elemental Damage

- Cold Damage

- Projectile Damage

- Added Cold Damage

- Critical Multiplier

- Elemental Damage with Attacks

- Elemental Resistances

- Life

- Intelligence

Mandatory Uniques

Death's Opus

- Death's Opus is mandatory because it grants two extra projectiles, a good amount of physical damage, critical chance, and a lot of critical multipliers.

Chin Sol 

- Chin Sol is another mandatory bow. You will use this one for big bosses. It grants more than 50% damage at close range.

- Equip this bow as your secondary weapon. When facing bosses, you can press "X" to swap to Chin Sol and destroy them.

Voidfletcher  

- These quivers are double mandatory because you need two of them. One is for your Death's Opus, and the other is for your Chin Sol.

- Voidfletcher is mandatory because it grants a lot of extra damage, making not only the single target awesome but also clear speed awesome as well.

Hyrri's Ire  

- Hyrri's Ire is mandatory for this build because it grants a lot of cold damage with bow attacks, a huge amount of evasion, and 10% chance to dodge attacks and spells.

Lioneye's Fall  

- This jewel is mandatory because it allows us to pick some very useful nodes on our passive tree, not only granting a lot of critical chance and multiplier but also chance to blind and leech for Life and Mana.

Mandatory Helmet

Mods

- Must be a Blizzard Crown

- Some Life

Notes

- You need to get a Blizzard Crown for this build because of the extra damage.

- If you have more PoE Currency, grab one that also reduces nearby enemies' cold resistance.

- The wise Oak

Gameplay Gear

Gems

Bow:

Ice Shot – Elemental Damage with Attacks – Added Cold Damage – Inspiration – Chain – Increased Strike Critical Chance

- This is your clear setup for Ice Shot. Start forming a 4L with Elemental Damage with Attacks, Added Cold Damage, and Inspiration.

- When you get a 5L or a 6L bow, add Chain and Increased Critical Strike Chance.

Armour:

Ice Shot – Elemental Damage with Attacks – Barrage Support – Elemental Focus – Added Cold Damage – Hypothermia

- For destroying bosses, you will need a single target Ice Shot setup in your body armour.

- Start with Elemental Damage with Attacks, Barrage, and Elemental Focus. When you get a 5L or 6L armour, use Added Cold Damage and Hypothermia.

Helmet:

Hatred – Herald of Ice – Summon Skitterbots – Enlighten

- Hatred grants more cold damage.

- Skitterbots keep chilling and shocking enemies for more damage and survivability.

- Herald of Ice grants added cold damage and causes enemies to explode.

Gloves:

Dash – Blood Rage – Vaal Grace – Increased Duration

- Dash is a great movement skill.

- Blood Rage grants a big attack speed buff and generates frenzy charges.

- Vaal Grace grants a temporary chance to avoid damage. You can use it on bosses.

Boots:

Arcanist Brand – Sniper's Mark – Frost Bomb – Summon Ice Golem

- This brand is for bosses. It will keep cursing them with Sniper's Mark for a lot more damage. And it will also cast Frost Bomb that reduces their cold resistance by 15%.

- Ice Golem grants extra accuracy and critical chance. Never link Ice Golem to the rest of the setup.

Jewels

Look for these mods on rare jewels:

- Cold Damage

- Projectile Damage

- Bow Damage

- Critical Multiplier

- Maximum Life

Abyss Jewel

Mods

- X% chance to gain Onslaught for 4 seconds on kill.

Notes

- I highly recommend you to get an abyssal jewel like this.

Watcher's Eye

Mods

- +X% to critical strike chance while affected by Hatred.

Notes

- This kind of Watcher's Eye is not cheap, but it can optimize your damage.

- It is not mandatory.
