Aloha there!

I have finished my challenges and all that jazz on a different character, and wanted to make a mapper to just mess around with and potentially delve a little bit and found this gem of a build.
I have a question though, when do you swap to a bow, most people use a bow + that unique frost quiver.

Personally, I wouldn't swap to a bow until I had a mageblood, because losing shield charge feels really bad for clearspeed, and can only really be made up for with enkindled silver/quicksilver flasks. Bows are good for pumping more damage and tackling bosses, but for pure mapping there's nothing wrong with a 1H+Shield

If you're newer to the game, Freezing Pulse is very easy to use and powerful against packs of monsters, but it will take a longer to kill bosses than Stormblast Mines (which can be difficult to get used to using).

Loving this build so far. I'm learning so many mechanics about the game that I never learned before. Going to hit level 100 for the first time.

I'm running a headhunter with impossible escape magebane. Running heatshiver, 3 curses. Frostbite on hit and elemental weakness on hit. Currently at 9 power charges. With my last 3 points, I was thinking about speccing back into the node that provides 60% increased freeze duration to bring back the tanky freezes on larger mobs. Do you think that is the right choice over straight life nodes?

Edit: Is there a Discord you host that I can join? I've been dying to ask you certain questions about why you made certain choices. Most I have been able to figure out, but have wanted to see if you posted end game POB setups with different items like mageblood/hh/etc.

Hi. I really like your build, thank you very much for the work you did on the guide. Tell me, should passive skills be changed at lvl 90 for the build "10-15 div", or should skills be changed only after collecting / purchasing the right things necessary for the build?
