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

Been away from POE for awhile so I have some questions.
I read something about changes to Pierce, is a Drillneck still a good idea?
I only play Split arrow and I'm a Ranger, What Ascendancy Classes should I go for?
With frenzy charges i'm at 26k dps with no ascendensies, what can I expect after Ascending?
Any suggestions to improve my character?

Is WED+PTL still good for TS? Neversink has Slower Proj+FA in his 2.4 edit? I'm confused...

Good TS links: TS-GMP-PPAD-SP-FA-Pierce (with drillneck) or the same, but replace GMP with poison with Reach.

Hi ! And thanks for the build !

I'm playing Hardcore Essence and just ripped my ED char at 88 :/
Since I have some currencies (around 500c), I was wondering about a bow char that could grind mid-level maps (say T8-12 at least) and be quite tanky.

At the beggining I wanted to test a Windripper build but I don't know if it's the best in terms of dps and survivability. Also, I seem to understand that LA is great AOE-wise but lack single target dps, which makes Blast Rain quite mandatory no ? But switching to TS makes the problem go away ? Or, with a good gear, LA+BR is the way to go ?

Also, for the ascendancy, I'm hesitating between Raider and Champion ? Who do you think is the best in terms of survival ? Maybe I'm missing another ascendancy too !

Thanks a lot in advance for the answers and maybe see you if I have another set of questions !

Well actually I took the "not recommended" raider frenzy path and doing just fine. I am sure that is not the most efficient path. However auto-frenzy generation is mechanically less demanding than creating those manually for me. It is a play style choice rather than creating the most efficient character.

You could also use The Blood Dance boots:

24% chance to gain a frenzy charge on kill on those babies. Of course you gain 0% defense stats and only 20% movement speed, but that's the price you must pay for convenience.

Thanks for the advice.

Actually I started to use Frenzy + GMP + FA as left mouse attack. I am not using a single target damage skill since TS is good enough for me. Using Frenzy substantially increased my comfort level to create charges. One shot once in ~15-20 seconds refreshes frenzy timer. Furthermore, whenever I lose charges or meet a boss, Frenzy as an attack fills them within seconds - which I find quite useful.

So I invested in this bow, and then picked up all the gems. My dps on character sheet went up 30%, but it's hard to say because Tornado Shot DPS isn't listed. I also didn't have a 5 link before.

Is it normal that the lightning damage is literally 2.5 times the physical? On TS, the physical is now 489-1297 and lightning is 1252-3319

I previously had no real WED, now I have a TON. How does this alter my playstyle? Do I need to swap out other gems? What about HoT now? Can I now run physical reflect maps, but not elemental?

Thanks!

Yes, it is normal to have lightning damage over physical. Because u r using Physical To Lightning gem, which will convert 50% of ur physical to lightning damage. This is my bad for did not mention u the Reach of the council bow which will help u free out GMP, for more damage output.

About the Harbinger like I said, the most expensive or medium good price item of ur gear XD. But the bow u having now is good enough.

Having a lot ele damage means u will always inflict status aliments to ur enemy (like freeze,shock,burning). U could switch to other (Good TS links: TS-GMP-PPAD-SP-FA-Pierce (with drillneck) or the same, but replace GMP with poison with Reach).
Yes, u could run Physical reflect if u have ton of ele damage and low physical. But im not recommend to run any kind of reflect if u dont have enough life leech + Vaal Pact (leech apply instantly).

I suggest running Herald of Ice + Curse on hit + Assassin Mark instead of HoT. Because HoT cannot apply shock and it required more Int to lv up/ HoI curse ur enemy when it shattered to others, damage cannot be reflected (will have clearing large packs with AM give more crit and power charges).And one more curse setup with vulne on hit or ele/projectitle weakness to deal with bosses.

Well, the cheapest Reach bow is 3E, so I can get that later on when I'm rich :)

Is the main benefit of the bow that you no longer have to use GMP so you get a free socket, or do you use GMP with it and have a TON of arrows?

Is getting that setup as easy as putting HoI + CoH + AM in 3 linked slots? What would I put in the 4th? Currently I have 75% mana reserved for Hatred + AA, do I need to use Englighten anywhere? And how do I use it? As of right now, I don't think I can reserve another 25% ...

What do you think my next upgrade should be? And my last 13 passives? I took out one point in Essence Sap last night and didn't notice any difference, so think I'm safe no longer using it. I am thinking of picking up some of the random elemental resistance nodes to help me shore out weaknesses, and allow finding more offensive based items. https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAICAABeBS0FtQYjCC4IiQqbDY0T2hVDFr8ZjiF2I_Yk_SaVLlMwcTB8MfoylDY9N9Q51DpCPs9DMUd-Sn1LeEz_TZJOKlFHVP5VS1WFWhpbr11oYeJirGVNbIxtbHBSdO11y3X9dvd463rvexR9dX8CfyuEb4bOh3aJ04w2jX2Nfo2_lLiVBZrxm42dqqCfoaSly6bgp9SxAbVIu-O9Nr3mvqfBM8FJwzPEosjcyqnNmM9e02_TftQj1ELZxtrB3ajh2-Of5wrnVOd06Nbpvepi7T_tg-968Lv5Y_zF_rr-yP_e

I.e., I was thinking of going to Cloth and Chain to the right of Golem's Blood. For two points I get 36% evasion and armor (which I never use..) and 15% all resist.

what gems set up are recommended with reach and lightning arrow

try to change to this you will be happier :)

Any update on the Pathfinder tree? I'm at 90 and have decent enough gear to solo clear T15 map (bit of a struggle on boss but cleared anyway) and I'm not sure where to go with Ascendancy.

Hello Neversink,
On the Blast Rain section of the guide, you have "CONC" listed as a green support gem. What is CONC? If it's concentrated effect, you got the color wrong, concentrated effect is blue!
