I'm enjoying the build. Although I swapped controlled destruction for increased crit strikes. I play on Xbox though and sadly if I want a stygian with double damage rolls, I'm looking at like a 20ex purchase because people on Xbox in standard are complete jews. I can't even buy the fossils to craft myself because the one guy selling them tells me to go farm them myself, which I can't do because 200 maps back to back and not a single niko spawn, but I digress. Without the double damage stygian I'm sitting at 38.8k un-buffed tool tip at level 85. So far I've done a couple guardians and Uber atziri with extreme ease.

Although I was curious why on the pob skill tree you used like 7 or 8 points to pick up the projectile node by the Ranger starting area

Why do you skip the first nodes out of shadow by going around the int?

The outside path takes 4 nodes while the inside path takes 5 nodes, so for the cost of 1 point you lose 30 int and gain 42% increased damage. You could, for example, skip the trap and mine damage 14% node after the saboteur node for that 1 point and get 42% instead.

Is there something I'm missing? That seems like a very big cost for a single point gain.

I use the nodes i save to other nodes i can go to.

Right, but you can directly trade the red circled nodes for the green circled nodes in the picture and gain ~28% inc damage for no points. You'd basically be trading 30 int directly for 28% increased damage and 10 base ES.
