Just wondering what experiences people are having with using this build for glacier farming?

With my usual end-game guy, I've just been using a Bisco's Collar for MF and replacing some life nodes with AOE/damage nodes and it's been working really well so far. However, my main problem is that I am pretty much never able to insta-pop legion spawns. I get 90% of them fine with the initial cast, but there always seems to be 2-3 random pockets of mobs that somehow dodge my ED chain entirely and I have to spend the majority of the 10 second timer dashing around finding them.

My ED tooltip DPS is around 475k and I'm using level 1 contagion to avoid contagion killing mobs prematurely. I'm not sure if ED/contagion is meant to be able to insta-pop mobs like those Ice Nova builds or if I'm lacking something. I've tried to stack as much AOE as I can without gimping my other stats, but am wondering if I need to start using something like a Dying Sun.

The thing people don't realize is that ED/contagion has a set range that it can advance away from you. T2 shouldn't be difficult to pop, and it isn't.

There is adequate density and mobs are close enough together and they SHOULD pop but i realized it was because I was just too far away. Move closer to the side that you think is longer from the center and then work around the edge really fast and finish off the remaining ones.

Maybe 1/20 are poppable instantly from the center based on the layout, but it does get easier once they get released because they gravitate closer to you making a 1 shot easier.

Hi guys -- I apologize for the vague question -- I am loving the build, but I'm finding myself er.. lacking in damage, as well as survivability (I randomly died in t6 maps today just.. instantly, 3 times).

The main issue is the time I have to play -- are there any obvious upgrades I'm just too blind to notice that are relatively cheap?

I think the character is public.

Edit: I've not done uber lab solely because I've not found all the trials yet, as note.

Edit 2: It should be EDSellia

You can get a good multi-modded bow for less than 6.5ex I got mine for 4ex, I just had to keep looking.
