Full Build Details
So the whole point of this build is essentially to maneuver around the enemy and kill them using frost bullet. The dagger skills and Gilded shiver of Tremontane are a backup option that also capitalizes nicely on our damage buffs. Your strategy will be to load a frost bullet preemptively and use cool boon before the fight to give you the maximum damage bonus. Then you fire the first shot to deal good burst and apply elemental vulnerability, slow down, and crippled. Follow up with Frost bullet again, then fire once more (you can use another cool potion for extra damage, but honestly most enemies will be dead after the first shot late game). It is also important to note the aoe on the shot can kill most mobs together if grouped correctly.
Your backup plan is to use probe for pain and confusion before finishing with Opportunist stab, which will do pretty gnarly damage as well.
Taking a look at the numbers:
30% Damage from lockwells
30% Damage from enhanced cool boon
75% damage from gear
So our frost bullet should be doing around 340.75 on the first shot, then 425.94 on the second. This should two shot most enemies. But then opportunist stab deals 360 after probe if you need a finisher.
