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.

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.
