CC Ranger (iceshot), help needed with build : P

So before i link the build, ill tell you what my idea is, i wanted to make a ranger (Because i love rangers) that its purpose is crowed control/support through freezes/chills and Auras.

My plan is too use ice shot with Lesser Multiple Projectiles, Increased Area of Effect (for the explosion), Elemental Proliferation, and life leech or Life on hit. i am not sure about Pierce as the arrows explodes on hit and might be better if left out (not sure on this).

A few notes about the build.

-Eldritch Battery - this will lower my defense quite a bit and too combat that i took the 8% running speed node above Iron reflexes and then also took 3x3% running speed buffs above thick skin. the reason is if i went all the way over too Leather and Steel it would cost 6 points total and my theory is the extra 9% would move then cover the armor wearing penalty at 1/2 the points. even in lower levels (23) i have all these nodes and move very fast if i got increase run speed on boots it is quite insane and very very easy to dodge/kite.

- Another note is along with Ice shot i plan to run ice nova - trap for extra cc, i was thinking about using ice spear on a totem but am not sure what would be the best route.

- one thing i am not sure on is taking Heart of Ice as i will already have 80% increased ele damage with weapons which should be enough to do 1% hp damage with the frost part of Ice shot (1% gives them a chance to trigger) i might have enough dps to drop these 3 points for hp instead, unless they will further help with my Frost nova traps.

-the last thing is this build is made too keep everything chilled (37% longer chills) for 30% slower mobs, frozen for no attacks and running Auras for support the main goal is in a controlling mass mob and in boss fights controlling adds thus allowing Dps too do there job without having to worry about dying so much.

I am still new and this is one of my first builds and seeing there are so many paths in the passive tree i realize this could be a extremely bad use of passive points if you have any input or a better way to go please share and thank you.

Yea nice build, mine is more for 1 to 80 if that makes sense. as gear drops and it becomes closer to perfect i can almost say with certainty my build will look nothing like what it does now. this build is just for leveling and waiting on better gear, very interesting how you went about things

one note about mine and yours is you didn't go for iron reflexes i would love to get your take on it why you didn't get it, as for me i figured that most of my damage reduction is going to be coming from moving around with my fast run speed and mobs being chilled/frozen but figured if i was to get hit i would be better off with lowish defense then lowish evade. Even though Evasion is not random with how it works i would rather when i get hit i take less damage then miss a Evasion and get smashed for high damage especially if there is range around to finish you off depending on how low you got.

with only 100 dex in your build and no resolute technique how do you find your accuracy? i am a little worried with mine but felt it should be fine due to higher dex (200).

Edit i realize i spent 115 points but as i have looked over gear i found out that my needs will change i e more crit, less mana etc etc so i decided this is just a outline and once i get too 85 which is a long way off because 1 i study and 2 i might die a few times being hc
