Winter Soldier-inspired munitions build

Having just seen Civil War and re-confirming that Bucky Barnes is my problematic fave, I was toying around with a munitions set up since I've hardly ever ventured into Munitions (aside from shameless TGM spamming before the rework).

After going back and forth on which stats to take, I opted for a DEX/Int/Con setup for more survivability and then just stack Ego w/ talents, Audacity, and possibly gear. (I could have done EGO/Int/Con but I figured DEX would be better given all the ticks from the maintains. If anyone has other suggestions, please feel free.)

It seems solid on paper so now I just need to test but any feedback would be much appreciated.

My only question would be: since Chilled Form works exactly like Concentration, just with DEX scaling instead on INT, should I take that since Dex is PSS, or would Audacity boosting Int work just as well?

You shouldn't need to gear any Ego here, esp if using Quarry + Int SS and no Killer Instinct.

I'd ditch both Accel Metab advs to free up 2 points. Also keep in mind that Tread Softly now takes the Furious buff to make it better (instead of Conc).

And I'd prob just keep the build as Int focused w/ Conc. Focusing more on Dex w/ Chilled Form will give you more crit, but that does diminish, whereas Int w/ Dex PSS would scale up Deadly Aim's severity, MSA, Audacity, and give slightly shorter cd timers.
