This versatile Build is great for a variety of situations, being able to deal both AoE and single target damage very well.
Skills

Additional Core Skills:
- Puncture – helps build Combo Points quickly, and makes enemies Vulnerable.
- Dash – your main source of mobility.
- Smoke Grenade – increases survivability and damage, especially against Elites.
- Cold Imbuement – keeps enemies Chilled/Frozen, as well as increasing your damage.
- Shadow Step – further boosts mobility and will give you Unstoppable.
Passives
The Key Passive for this Build is Precision, as it pairs well with Barrage to massively boost its damage.
Additional Passives:
- Sturdy and Agile – increases your survivability.
- Weapon Mastery, Exploit, Malice, and Frigid Finesse will boost your damage.
- Stutter Step, Innervation, Alchemist’s Fortune, Adrenaline Rush, and Haste will help your utility.
