Baisically a build that i used on shiro, lich and abbadon with some friends to test with a few days ago and it worked. Just pick a target, preferably monk or caster and spam Barrage, as the numbers get lower take the monks out with Dual and Triple shots and Disrupting Accuracy to make them useless.

Crit Strikes - 12+1+3
Bow Mastery - 12
Shadow Arts - the rest+2

Ironwing Longbow or Ironwing Flatbow or a bow with same stats.

1.Barrage [E]
2.Triple Shot
3.Dual Shot
4.Disrupting Accuracy
5.Critical Agility
6.Critical Eye
7.Freigned Neutrality or Shadow Sanctuary or Way Of Perfection
8.Rez

You have 20 seconds of Critical agility and 44% chance of critical hit.

Negatives and positives would be apriciated

The greatest negative is that the sin is using a bow, yet my sin had no choice when I first made him. Crit barragers not being new, but the build is abit energy intense if not enough criticals, though it wouldn't be a problem with daggers, it can be with a bow.

Critical Strikes seems more fashioned for melee skills, especially daggers, but that doesn't mean that your build doesn't work. Also, it would be much more effective for a Conjure Ranger with the bow attacks, but that's just an observation.

Also, the use of preps and Barrage notoriously don't mix, but I gather you know that already. I like the idea, but it may be better suited for a ranger.

You have to be pretty unlucky if all 5 shots from Dual and Triple Shots dont score a crit hit, and thats why theres Ironwing flatbow, no matter what you get energy.

44% of crit hit chance x 5 = 220%chance of scoring critical hits, with barrage its 264%chance for all six targets.

And ive had a close look and a flatbow with Crit Agility has same attacj speed as half the dagger attack speed.

Critical hits don't stack that way, I I I Inferno I I I.

This piece of math made me very sad inside.

The chance of atleast hitting one critical in a 5 shot volley, with 44% chance of critical = P = 1 - chance of no critical.
Chance of no critical = .56^5 = 0.055
Thus P = 1 - 0.055 = 0.945 = 94.5% = 95%

So the chance of atleast one critical is 95% in that 5 shot volley.
