Witch Summoner with Bow

Is it possible to bulid character like this? I mean I always enjoy cold archer with ability to call the undeads. Something similar to Sylvanas when she became a banshee :)

The main assumption:
+Call undeads/skeletons/etc like every summoner
+Use Bow
+Use Ice Shot(lesser/greater multiple projectiles
+I'm not sure but CI should work well

This is the first sketch of my idea:

+ ES +CI (in future when i get good ammount)
+Minion: max ammount, life
+Cold dmg
+radius of AoE
+Life leech to ES
+Bow dmg and critic

It probably sucks because I'm new in PoE and I don't know game mechanic very well but that is the reason why i post it here :)

Can someone help me? Is it vialable on Default and HC?

PS. Sorry for mistakes- I'm not native english, I'm still learning :)

Uhm, I don't know if it will work, if you will use bow, pretty interesting compliation (bow & witch), but, why not? Personally you can do everything you want in PoE any, like I already said; why not? :D Just play and see what it will be :)

Best of luck and go for it :D!

Greetz GER with bad ENG :D

Actualy thats something i already thoughed too about aka drow ranger wc3 with dominating blow(makes a dead monster to ur minion for some seconds), but well dominating blow isnt that wise i read ^^. Ok first one u shouldnt go ci, thats overkill actualy i would maybe focus more on life its easier to get and works better with life leech. Also u can need some str for elemental dmg support gem/life leech from the str side.
I wouldnt go ice cause ice dont leave corpse and u need them for the zombies.
My idea would be to go with elemental bow so it syngergize more with the witch side running serveral auras.

Edit:

Ok this is my first design of a bow summoner
Maybe u can figure out some better ways through the skills.
Actualy i still need some infos about how much acuary rating u need at end lvl.
Only got a lvl 67 hc witch she doesnt need that. Maybe resolute technique is a better way to go or even starting as templar/marauder.

this build is for lvl 80 assuming u take 40hp normal and then skill points.

first design bow summoner

2.Edit:
Ok made a templar version like this one alot
Templer version

oh... I totally forgot about that thing with ice and cropses...
But I like idea with fire bow summoner- I can use Explosive Arrow instead of Ice Shot.
However I don't understand some choises in this tree: +30STR (near minion life)-Do I need str? Staff dmg?(probably missclick)

I thought about Resolute Technique but it seems to be to far away from witch and I need to pick too many +STR passive.

This is my fire bow summoner:

This bulid doesn't contain any defensive options (now it's only 53/111) . I'm still thinking about CI because I'm worried about only flat hp without evasion or armour- is flat hp enough to survive?

I have one more idea. What about Poison Arrow + Elemental hit ? At low lvls it's great and safe (with summons) source of dmg. How PA looks at HC/ high lvls?

But PA has one big disadvantage: it deals % of physical dmg. It means that i need loads of dex to use very high lvl bow.
Explosive Arrow has flat dmg so i only need +fire and +elemental perks and bow with fast attack speed.

What do you think?

Ok the staff dmg was probably a missclick ^^. Optimize my build even more now u can do it as witch or as templar(as templar the start is easier and u can without any support through items use a bow)

bandits: 40hp,skill point, skill point

after ending merciless u have 20 boni skillpoints.

new elemental build

Important passives:
Minion instability
Static blow
Iron Grip
decent mana and regen (for many auras)
alot live
some es with int and passive

Yes we need so much we can get, why? Well str is simply our best attribute because we get free flat life and free damage and good support gems available. With iron grip the bonus damage applied to melee dmg from str will also applied to our ranged damage. We can raise this bonus even more with gems like Added Fire damage. Because first our bow get the physical bonus through Iron Grip(str) and raise the dmg that gets converted to fire damage and now this elemental damage even get more raised by our elemental dmg passive nodes. Thats actualy one of the big beautys of the build.

Well unsupported from passives both sucks hp and es , es even more. Well for ur armor concern, why should es be better without armor?.In fact u get even more damage with CI cause the equipment u need to make it viable dont even has armor. While with str/life the armor we need, we can easily get from equip. Due to our high str and int, we can either use "str,int hybrid equip" with armor and es on it or full armor str equip. Hp can be supported by flasks, with ci ur dead if u run out of shield, so the effective amount of hp u have, is even more reduced through ci, just due to the missing healing capabilities. Also with life, we dont need a dam keystone to make use out of life leech.
And then the biggest problem about Ci is the gear. Its just so dam easy to get good equip with flat live while to find good energy shield gear is rly expensive and hard to find.

If u still worried about life, well my witch is lvl 67 in HC, has the same amount of life nodes, has 2,3k life and 700 es. And rly zero armor cause of my missing luck.... . Well its a double totem, double curse,trap, summoner build and the most dangerous thing u encounter is aoe dmg, because physical damage only hits me, if i position my self in front of my minions. And aoe dmg is nearly always elemental and for that i have 75 75 75 resistance, so i can say hp in hc is more then viable, its just easy to stack, and safer due to the healing capabilities.

Well u can use PA but there is no need to spam it one pa is enough for some seconds.
To make explosive Arrow viable u rly need alot atk speed and in my opinion there is no need for it.Also u should know that summons before lvl 31 just suck, they are no good help early lvls.
I just would use Lightning Arrow, shock state is just op atm and buffs the dmg out of all source up to 120%, so also the dmg of ur minions.

Another tip, u rly dont need any dmg nodes till merciless to be viable and make good dmg.
