Poachers is no good because you cant maintain frenzy charges with it on bosses when the dps matters the most. I did hatred + herald of ice + curse on hit + assassins mark so you can be lazy and keep your 3-4 power charges. Then I'm use frenzy and blood rage to maintain frenzy charges. I lost only a bit of dps to herald of ash but tbh with all the extra damage plus frenzy damage i don't even notice it. Using manual ec has made the build go from lazy 2 buttons to around 5 actively. What are people doing for leech? I'm finding it very lacking on bosses i might even switch from ts to split or ice shot so i can get life leech in there also.
Also if you have the space split arrow cull iir iiq fits in well for trash clearing lower maps/finishing bosses, you really see a lot more uniques and currency this way.
What you are saying about maintain Frenzy on CoH don't make any sense, if you can't maintain the frenzy on CoH you won't maintain the power charges too. But at least the frenzy can be charged by an skill and power charges don't.
I can't figure out how to deal with physical reflect in maps. I've switched over to PTL with WED (TS) but still die a lot. I'm doing 26k dps and have 1.4% physical life leech. I snagged vaal pact and also have 5 endurance charges. Do I need Vitality Void as well? Confused and frustrated.

Using Frenzy - PCoC (Power Charge on Crit) solves the issue, and allows you to build both frenzy and power charges on bosses.
That's the exact reason I use only 1 setup to build charges, and curse at the same time:
Frenzy - GMP - Chain - PCoC - CoH - Assassin's Mark

A couple ways to deal with phys reflect:
- CWDT + IC + ID (though that only works on the first hit, and has a believe a 3 sec cooldown)
- Switch to ele damage bow such as windripper in offhand
- Switch to another attack that completely converts phys to ele damage. Such as Lightning arrow combined with Phys-to-Lightning gem.
- Insert life leech gem in 6th slot, and use Vaal Pact. The high leech from the Gem + Vaal Pact combined with your relative high ele damage will largely offset the reflect damage.
- High evasion / Arrow Dancing help to mitigate some of the reflect, but not nearly as much as Ondar's Guile did.
Working on this bow right now. Soon as I have my masters leveled I'm going to add more phy damage to it. (I didn't add that phy damage, on there when I bought it for 4ex.)

Thank you sir. Finally cleared a phys reflect map without dying. The key to it for me was to switch out WED for LL on TS and to have Arrow Dancing. Vaal Pact was not required in my case. I guess arrow dancing gives 40% chance to evade my reflected shots which hadn't occurred to me. It's not ideal since I take a huge dps hit but it's better than where I was at before.
CWDT-IC-ID how much should you level thees gems? Should you max them?
ID can be max lvl, since it is not affected by the level restriction from CWDT.
Bit of personal preference on how high you want to lvl CWDT. I use a lvl 13 one, and corresponding IC.
Great Guide ! Started this build on the Warbands league ... progressing decently ;)
I have two questions:
1. How good is Vaal Pact for this build on the temporary league ?
2. Would you preffer a Broadhead Arrow or spike-point quiver ? I snagged a decent broadhead that is why iam asking
