Ice Shot Ranger has been one of the strongest and most easy to get going builds for multiple leagues, and going into 0.5, we are seeing this stand out againg as one of the best league starters. It has incredible speed, huge map clear, fast leveleing, and can one shot end game bosses.
By combining 
Ice Shot with 
Ice-Tipped Arrows we have insane amounts of damage. Throw in the super powered 
Freezing Salvo, this build destroys everything in the campaign.
Buffs and Nerfs in League 0.5
Once we hit Acts 2 and 3 we start to unlock better support gems, and we get some of our more powerful abilities such as Ice Shot, letting spec fully into Ice.
Support Gem Requirements:
Str 20
Dex 55
Int 45
Ice Shot
Freezing Salvo
Ice-Tipped Arrows
Frost Bomb
Herald of Ice
Snipe
Barrage
Combat Frenzy
Wind Dancer
With the way the new support gems work, they come in tiers, such as:
Rapid Attacks I
Rapid Attacks II
Rapid Attacks III
I'd suggest upgrading these as soon as possible to the rank 2 as they give massive upgrades to your damage, but be careful as the final version rank 3, can sometimes come with downsides, so should be avoided.
Spirit Gem Priority:
(Act 2) Switch to Herald of Ice as soon as you unlock Ice shot
(Act 3) once you hit 60 spirit - Grab Combat Frenzy to start generating frenzy charges
Once you hit the 100 spirit in the final act unlock Wind Dancer
This is a deadeye icy shot leveling build. Due to not unlocking Ice Shot shot until we have a level 9 skill gem. We start out with lightning and ice, and slowly move over to more and more ice damage we unlock the new and better abilities.
We open up with Freezing Salvo for massive AoE damage. Then we pop Ice-Tipped Arrows and pump enemies with Ice Shot. This create a ton of AoE and single target damage that freezes everything. If you have a frozen elite enemy, pop snip for insane amounts of single target damage.
We also have Frost Bomb - this gives us a lot of damage while leveling and applies Cold Exposure.Herald of Ice gives us tons of AoE ice damage everytime we shatter an enemy, and we use Freezing Salvo on cooldown as it wrecks everything this league.
