Which IO of a Set to Leave Out using 5/6 [Archery]

Okay, as I recently looked over my Blaster of Archery/Ice/Cold, I have been having second thoughts about what IOs in sets I picked. Below I'll post my Mid's Build for anyone using said program.

I'm not seeking advice on how my build should be powerwise or choice of slotting and/or what sets I picked.

What I want is advice on... if I use 5 of the 6 in a Set, what IO should I leave out for:

Adjusted Targeting, Devastation, Positron's Blast, Ragnarok, Gravitational Anchor, Fortunata Hypnosis and Apoclypse.

Most seem to be telling me to leave out the Acc/Rech, but I'd still like advice please!

Devastation: In Snap Shot and Aimed Shot
Positron's Blast: In Fist of Arrows and Explosive Arrows
Apoclypse: In Blazing Arrow
Ragnarok: In Rain of Arrows
Gravitational Anchor: In Chiliblain
Fortunata Hypnosis: In Flash Freeze
Adjusted Targeting: In Aim and Build Up

well for 1 thing hasten is overslotted take 3 of those out. You don't have it till level 38 so it isnt going to be that important when exemping. (I can see six slotting it if you have it below level 20)

Stamina ?? Why ??? 3 slots will do for you and you are way into the overkill zone on endrec.

Weave and frozen armor could both use the drop and seeing as you are in money is no object think about slotting taking to lotgs out of frozen and poping in a steadfast res/def and knocback

Tough drop the psionic resistance proc.

I have Hasten 6 slotted for thr 120.6% rech on it, heh and like I said I'm really not seeking advice on my build. Not to ignore what you said. It's just I like my build .. but I want to know what IO to leave out of my 5/6 sets. That is what I NEED to know.

Also as for the placement, level and such for when I got powers/slots.. it's not how my build is. I just picked the powers in Mids there, none of it is in any particular order.

Leaving out the Rech/Acc is best because you have so much of both with set bonuses.

For Flash Freeze I don't think it matters at all which you leave out because nothing is gonna stay asleep very long with all the AoE you have. In fact for Archery I think of Flash Freeze as nothing more than a holder for Fortunata Hypnosis.

For Aim and Build Up I would leave out the To Hit Buff IO. Recharge is most important for those powers, and endurance comes in a distant second IMO. The to hit buffs combined with your high accuracy are more than enough.

I know you said you're happy with your build but you should consider sticking the Steadfast Def unique in Tough or Frozen Armor. It's better than the sixth slot for either power.

Flash Freeze...

When I fight mobs I tend to AIM/BU then Rain of Arrows, quickly target with Explosive Arrow and then as soon as I can, I fire Flash Freeze. This'll hold anyone I didn't kill right out [Mins, LTs] and then I can pick them off single target wise.
