Notes

0.3 Major Changes: 
Electrocuting Arrow: No longer a movement Skill. Now shoots an arrow forward that explodes, 
applying its Electrocuting Rod to all enemies Hit. Now deals 128-281% Attack Damage at Gem levels 5-20 (previously 302-572%). 
Attack Speed is now 80% of base, and the Mana Cost has been reduced by approximately 40% at all Gem levels. 
Quality now causes Hits against targets with attached Rods to gain 0-10% of Damage as Extra Lightning Damage (previously Arrow duration is +0-6 seconds).

We can replace Stormcaller Arrow with Electrocuting Arrow and use it with Offhand Swap to apply stronger Shock instead of using Disengage
Benefit of using Electrocuting Arrow is that it is instant damage.

Frost Bomb: Now deals 7-11 Cold Damage at Gem level 1 (previously 16-23), scaling up to 238-538 at Gem level 20 (previously 467-701). 
Now has a Cooldown of 6 seconds (previously 3.5), and now has a 4 second Detonation Time instead of a 3 second Duration before Exploding. 
Now Chills Enemies as though dealing 300% more Damage, and now applies Elemental Exposure instead of Cold Exposure. It initially applies 20% Elemental Exposure, and 2% per Pulse, up to a maximum of 50%. 
Quality now provides +0-10% more Maximum Elemental Exposure applied (previously 0-20% increased Cold Exposure Effect). Now has a limit of 1.

We will only use Frost Bomb for Exposure on Bosses now.
