[3.0] NeverSink's ♣ INDEPTH Tornado&Archer Guide ♣ Beginner friendly ♣ Rapid clear ♣ All bosses

this is probably the best ranger guide i've seen here, thanks a lot for it.
the only question i have left is what to do with my bow? should i change the crafted mod to a suffix and try exalting it once? i could also get the multiple crafted mods but i dont feel like its worth it.


@Luloa you cant get the increased phys dmg on a quiver, usually you should choose crit over attack speed

I would just stay with it like it is and wait for a better base to probably go on.

Great guide, much appreciated.

I managed to roll this on 4 alts, if you can believe it, anyway, any suggestions on what to do with it next? (my first time crafting).

I'm using herald of ash with hatred and HoA never proc'ed curse on hit/assassins mark... it isnt supposed to work? :(

Nope. That not work with HoA. It work best with HoI.

Hi there, I would make some considerations, but first a premise:

Before 2.1 I was running a Block MoM / EB / GR incinerate build, the most INSANE FUN balanced defensive mechanincs I ever seen, you just DON'T DIE, so I couldn't agree more with that:



Now.. I would reach a similar survivability, with my avaiable gear. I can't choose for this reason:

However, if you want to run Alphas howl+Grace+Queen of the forest, you want well.. alphas howl, which is not a bad option and provides the "cannot be frozen" bonus.

Yea!

Finally there are the more complicated options: Lightning coil OR Queen of the forest. The first one is a good HC option or if you're overcapped on lightning resist for some reason and the second one works pretty well, if you're running grace.

I Want a 6L LC, but to reach level ~90 I've got a Queen of the Forest on my stash, great! Got leveled grace, great! Got Alpha Howl, great!

36) Don't use queen of the forest, without alphas howl. Don't use alphas howl without grace. I don't recommend using grace. Don't use all 3, unless you're playing on hardcore. And even then, think twice, before doing so.

Oh.. sad.. why? There's better option? This combination have no dps? I've got 67% chance to evade attacks without flasks.

My first choice from the start was arctic armour, love that, so maybe is better a rat's nest with AA?

Another Item I would consider is this:



And I'm wondering that Doryani's Invitation it's also pretty defensive (but we don't care about armour right?) and could be replaced with a rare belt with +life/res/ele dmg

So.. you've write about everything, but for this particular evasion build I can't figure out if it is effective and I would do Uber with this char.. It's better focus on damage with rat's nest, reduce phy with AA and maybe spell dodge with atziri boots?


Last but not least: I've found tremendus amount of fun with

Frenzy-CoH-GMP-AM = frenzy and power charges in 2 seconds while you're still attacking, so crit knockback.

It's 4 socket ok, but I love things made easy, especially when ping jump a lot, this is a great point for me: flask + different attacks (tornado and puncture.. so now also frenzy?!) + curses + cry - I don't play piano.

Blood rage for me is quite-mandatory, casting assasin's mark we got frenzy and power charges with bonus, with my frenzy-CoH they are always up.. but still HATE cast enduring cry and the 4 socket is a pain in the carcass.. so I'm wondering an option: I've got this for tornado



and use Puncture only with bosses.. so If I got my habinger and quiver ONLY for puncture AND SWITCH THEM?

Honestly.. when we face a boss we can use tornado for clear fast and then puncture him.. I am wrong? I didn't try it so it's pure theory

hi i am using youre hardcore build and so far is great, but friend keep teling me to buy a voltaxic. now here is the question , i,m already level 68, can i use this bow with youre curent pasive setup or i need to do a masive respec to use the voltaxic

Why u change tornado shot + frenzy to lighting arrow + rain blast in ur equip?

so quesiton, im in tlaisman league, and havnt tested all the talismans yet, which owudl you recommend? heres my current setup:



My rings need to be updated, and my bow is kinda meh with the +2 and reduced attributes. and res on my quiver is kinda painful to see... but i have another to replace it when i find betetr rings.


Anyways, my question is which talisman to use? Ive been using the increased phys one, but with the new increased attack damage one im not sure which is better.

Hi all

I am running the drillneck version of this build and I have a question about the pierce passives. Are they really worth it? With drillneck + poacher's aim + pierce gem you already have 94% pierce chance. As pierce is capped at 100%, you are only obtaining 6% pierce + 6% damage for 4 passive points. Even if you don't use poacher's aim, seems a lot of investment for little return (20% pierce/damage).

What do you guys think? Is it better to invest these points in higher crit chance or extra life?

Thanks!

PD: great guide, btw!
