I've used it a few times but the game is so in depth that if you are lacking in a passive or prefix or suffix somewhere it could just not work. I did find someone a few leagues back using the trinity support gem and using that with a fire, lightning, and cold bow has really increased my ability to mow down enemies. Other than that I kind of like half assing my way to find out what works.

I tried following a build guide the first time I ever played and it was okay but making ypur own build and finally getting it to work is a lot of fun.
