I'd recommend a point into Advanced Homing earlier since it still completely replaces Homing at level 1 and gives some better options for KB.
I personally still don't see the point in putting so much into Cooling Effect so early. You won't be finding mobs bigger than 3 at Newties. Or anywhere, really. You say "I decided to skip Fire Burner for the same reason that Rangers skip Inferno." Hate to break it to you, but Rangers don't skip Inferno. Or at least they shouldn't. In fact, if anything, that logic should be applied to Cooling Effect. Snipers stop at 21 because that reaches optimal freezing time and the rest of the damage is negligible. The 5 extra points into Cooling Effect at 95~97 won't speed up your training. The extra 10% damage won't help much. Adding them into something else would though. At the least, if those points were invested into Fire Burner, you would gain another mob count.
