0.4 Introduced a change to 
Mirage Archer to let it scale it with Cooldown reduction and skill effect duration. This allows you to have an automated detonator setup on bosses just by hitting you dodge roll. 
Stormblast Bolts is a skill that fire projectiles into the air and they land as bolts on the ground. They do no damage until you hit it with a detonator skill. This skill is basically balanced around you having to switch to detonator and it has very strong numbers because of this fact. When you have an automated detonator skill you pretty much double the effective DPS of this skill. At level 20 Stormblast Boltsfires 3 projectiles and they explode for 470% damage leech making it effectively a 1410 skill + the damage the original projectiles do when they land. 0.4 also introduced a new buff called 
Eternal Rage this costs 100 spirit which is huge but constantly regenerates your rage. This combined with 
Berserk and 4 nodes for max rage on your tree gives you a massive 74% more damage that you did not have access to before this league. On top of that a level 20 
Trinity gives you 55% more damage at the cost of another 100 Spirit. Trinity requires you to do equal damage which is easily solved by 
Painter's Servant. This boosts the damage of the normally weak 
Galvanic Shards and 
Herald of Thunder combination to the DPS threshold to be able to blast maps very early. There is also a downside of Berserk where you lose life and you need both Vitality I and Vitality II to offset it. Thats a total of 30 + 100 + 100 + 30 + 40 + 20 spirit just for the build to work. Luckily going tactician gives you the node 
A Solid Plan which says 50% less reservation costs for persistent buffs which allows us to stack 200 ish spirit and fit everything we want into the build.

Changes
I
First thing we did was fix our damage through 
Heart of the Well, 
Against the Darkness, 
Prism of Belief for 
Galvanic Shards level 2. You need to have 1 cold 1 fire and 1 lightning on Heart of the Well and Against the Darkness ie. Heart has cold and fire, against will be lightning damage. You can also get some resistance on Against the Darkness too. Got a spirit chest and now you can fit Clarity I and 2 to fix mana issues, got Her Declaration to intimidate all enemies in your presence with a huge range from 
Alpha's Howl. Also added Herbalism II to make your flasks heal more this will be even more important when the fix 
Olroth's Resolve
We also got a level 20 
Trinity with Uhtred's Omen to hit the next point on trinity giving us 6% more damage.
Corrupted Galvanic Shards to 21. Remember you can upgrade after you hit the +1 so don't waste your money upgrading beforehand
IMPORTANT READ Since all the bosses in the game die in 2 seconds I have decided to use Rigwald's Ferocity on Galvanic Shards instead of 
Stormblast Bolts. Since Rigwalds is only good on weapon set 2 we swapped all the points and skills of the the build. So now Stormblast Bolts is on 1 and Galvanic Shards is on 2 and the whole tree got respec'd because of this. This update bumped our Galvanic damage for 220k to 480k which means we absolutely shred maps combined with clear update to the build up next. Please follow the new tree.
CLEAR UPDATE. First thing we did we got a 
From Nothing for 
Eldritch Battery which lets us spec a chain on the build with 
Branching Bolts as well get some movement speed penalty and mana regen. Giving Galvanic Shards $2chains that plus Dominus' Grasp will give us 4 Chains. Making your projectiles go everywhere when you shoot. If you cannot get the jewel you can put chain on your crossbow guaranteed with a desecrate on the suffix with Uulaman.
Upgraded 
Herald of Thunder to level 21 with Armour Explosion via 
Rite of Passage SPIRIT OF THE WOLF NOT BEAR NOT OWL NOT CAT ONLY WOLF. If you do not have the charm just use Longshot II and its perfectly fine. Added Magnified Area II
I updated my 
Mageblood with silverflask for more skill speed because it affects reload as well as attack and its very good.
Change slow to Thawing Charm
This update was HUGE, I will do one more update before playing a new build for Crit to make this build a complete beast. Hopefully the flask bug gets fixed soon so we can get tanky. Hope you guys are enjoying the build Im having an absolute blast
