You can always run Perfect Form - free AA + free Phase Acro.

Also the defenses on the Perfect Form don't look that good. How much does that "uncapped resistance" thing add?

Help! An abundance of riches. So I've just multi-crafted my bow:

And here's the rest of my gear:

So the plan was to buy a quiver, switch to the bow and have 750k shaper dps. But the thought of doing two three-gem setups in my armor makes me die inside. What would be a six link that's worth it? Going from a 5link to 6link on blight hardly seems worth the effort (20k to 50k dps according to PoB). A 6link contagion is a waste according to PoB since it doesn't do enough dps to matter.

Also, in general, the plan was to:
1. run two curses (enfeeble and despair) with devouring diadem instead of Flesh and Stone (since I can switch the passives from Arcane Swiftness to Whispers of Doom).
2. add aspect of the spider to the quiver or amulet
3. swap boots for atziri's step once I have the resists covered
4. buy a WE with the malevolence NACDOT multiplier

The only thing I can come up with at the moment is to do the 6link blight in the chest, drop CWDT + Steelskin along with Allelopathy and run rare gloves with Contagion + Increased AoE + Intensify + Arctic Armour. There has to be a better way though. The dps gain from a 6l blight isn't awesome, and losing CWDT + Steelskin hurts.

I bet that this question was answered multiple times, but still - why people choose to use bows with this build? I'm looking for a budget weapon for a character lvl70 and was thinking about 6L cheap staff.
It seems counter intuitive to use bow with caster, instead of staff.

Whatever your uncapped cold resistance is. For instance, I'm currently at 105% cold res (after -30% the reduction from the chest). That means my evasion rating is increased by 105%. I don't have the best stats at the moment, but while wearing the chest I have 2700ish ES and over 11K evasion. If I remove the chest, I drop to 2K ES and 4K evasion. If I put on Hyrri's Ire (with the max evaszion roll) I'm at almost 12K evasion (300 away), and over 3K ES. Respectable? Sure. But I lose free Phase Acrobatics and I actually do have room in my build for arctic armor + 3 other auras - so for me, it works. It's also worth mentioning going with Hyrri's Ire drops my life from 5K to 4600, which is basically the difference in ES. Also, I have no use for the cold damage/chill stats, so it's not that impressive to me. Now, if I put on Atziri's Splendor (pure evasion) my evasion drops to 9K, but my ES stays at over 3K. The evasion + ES version boosts my ES to 3800, but my evasion drops to 7100. All-in-all, I personally feel that The Perfect Form is BiS, when you consider not only the defenses, but its value. A "free" aura (at the cost of a socket) and a free Keystone passive are kinda tough to beat IMO, especially when the difference in global defense is marginal.

EDIT: My total uncapped cold res is 119%. My bad.
