Immo is still a nice skill. The timer is a problem but on a per-shot basis, it is definitely superior to explosive arrows and you can always alternate between immo and explosive arrows to maximise the damage done.
Against non-cold immune, the mix between FA and IA is also probably going to be the way to maximize damage done.
A regular GMB has 47; Most unique and cruel elites have average damages in the 100's.
I cant believe i missed that immo + explosive thing... :unsure:
Anyway, that would up the killing rate, but will still be slower than cold arrows and multishot, and without freezing effects.
Last (but not least) immo + freezing will not work well.
Fire AND cold inmunes make this tactic impossible against most mosters.
Also, maxed Freezing Arrow + maxed Cold Arrow does -roughly- the same damage than maxed Immolation Arrow + maxed Exploding Arrow, so basically what you would be doing is spending 41 - 60 skill points for the added fire patch damage. That leaves only 28 - 9 skill points for passives, and you won't have magic arrow, multishot, guided arrow nor strafe.
