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

Hello Krorkus!

You are doin two things wrong with the skill gems which will boost ur damage quite a bit!

In ur chest you have TS - WED - PTL - GMP - FA. Drop the FA and put PPAD (Physical Projectile Attack Damage), this will increase your dps a lot.

You also do not use any auras. On my ranger I am running Hatred - Herald of Lightning - Curse on Hit - Assassin's Mark. The Hatred and Herald of lightning will increase your dps on the paper. The herald of light can also apply curses, why it is good to link it with curse on hit and Assassin.

A big portion of our DPS comes from Frenzy charges. If you followed this guide you have taken nodes increasing ur frenzy charges, as well as helping the bandit Kraitlyn. You need to make sure you use this Advantage! The easiest way to do this for you is to get urself a Bloodrage gem. The buff Bloodrage last 11 seconds and refreshes each time you kill a monster, so it will be up almost all the time. Bloodrage also give you frenzy charges when you kill monsters, something which boosts ur DPS and speed a lot.

To conclude, change the FA gem to a PPAD in your chest and get yourself a Hatred and Herald of Lightning gem. Also get urself a Bloodrage gem to make sure you utilise the frenzy charges you have at ur disposal!

I see that you have many spells linked in your items.... burning arrow, blade vortex, lightning arrow etc. If you like Tornado shot, get one more single target spell like puncture or blast rain and stick with that, the other gems just take up space from good stuff you could use. You should read the gem section of the guide once again :)

I just got a 5 link chest piece which sucks but i wanted that link to boost my TS. I come up to 5k dps atm which isnt bad compared to what i fight againt. I clear fast and dont die. When i look up other builds like mine i see u all with +100k dps. Now i know my gear isnt even close to being great but i get the feeling that my dps should be much higher. So id like to ask for someone to look at my stuff and tell me if i need to make some big changes in my gear before starting maps or if its ok to begin with.

In addition to what slickepinnen said (though I prefer Herald of Ashes to Herald of Thunder + Curse on Hit) there are four pieces of gear you definitely want to replace. The first three are your belt, amulet and prismatic ring which give you very little (though I understand if you want to add some quantity and quality but it will lower your defense and damage). The fourth one is your bow. If I assume correctly that your build relies on critical strikes then the low base crit chance of your bow is really hurting your damage (a Harbinger can have 7.5% without additional crit chance and go up to over 9%). Since you're on Standard and don't have currency you can shoot me a message @scroogeranger and I'll give you a better one for free if I'm online.

Also a movement skill like Blink Arrow (+ Faster Attacks + Faster Projectiles) is nice to have as well and a life-saver when opening strongboxes.

I just started to use TS. Was usin LA and for rares BA. but wont use them anymore...
I have ppad but didnt try to test it with FA.

So i get rid of LA and BA. Dont use Blade vortex either.... damn im waisting alot of space...

Well im using a CWDT combo for curse and def... thought that was enough for now...

Would u say im map ready after makin these changes? Maybe ill get lucky and find something sick while clearing act4.

I switched a bunch to find better gear. Hasent worked so good though. Ive been looking for a new bow for a while now. Cant find any and buying is so not doable.

I got myself a blink arrow gem but was waiting for the next upgrade on gear to roll the right sockets. Im not having problems with boxes yet. I place my decoy totem, click and rund out of the spawned packs.

If u dont have a problem with givin me a bow then id really be thankfull for that. Its gonna have to w8 a few days since im working outwards.

Hi, have used this build (with some changes ...) for a long time - only problem I had from time to time was reflect or damage-spikes that 1-shot me.
So I wanted to stay a bit more safer and changed some items I was using. Dropped my Eva-Chest for a leg. Lightning-Coil and the Rat's Nest for a rare Helmet with life and Res. Cause I was doing enough damage to 1-shot the most mobs I dropped Hatred and Herald of Ash as well and took Purity of Lightning (interacts perfect with the Lightning Coil and against Ele-reflect cause I'm using phys-to-Lightn.-Gem) and Grace (liked the extra-evasion).
Now I'm on my way to level 95 and mapping feels safer than before.

Here my current gear (~5.700 life, 75k Tornado-Shot [with 5 Frenzy], 95% Crit-chance, 75/75/79 Res):



And here my tree (dropped some Frenzy-notes and took more Crit and Jewels):

If you want to push for 100 you can go for an even safer setup.
Inspect my Perandus character for inspiration :)

My character can kill all content including Vaal Temple, Core Malachai, Twin T15 and Über Atziri.

Also I just wanted to share I just yolo-exalted my bow and got hybrid roll.



:D :D :D :D #1 on Perandus xD

Thanks Frankenberry! Took a look at you're ranger - I was thinking I had high life but this passing to the Scion-life-wheel looks very interesting. Will think about it.

And gratz to your bow! My yolo-Ex hit the T1 lightning-damage ...
Have fun

Passives looks fine but if you do not want to utilize Revenge of the hunted anytime soon I suggest making a different route to shadow like this:


Again this is only if you do not want to make use of Revenge of the Hunted.

Gear:

I would:
A) remove attack speed enchant from bow and instead use crit chance enchant.
B) Get a rustic sash belt with Life, res and room for weapon elemental damage.
C) New amulet. Your goal on an amulet is have 0 resists on it. Life + crit chance + crit multi + flat phys roll. Your prio is flat phys + crit multi and either life or crit chance (you can enchant the other with Elreon. So if you get one with life enchant crit chance and visa versa).
D) Get a good defensive resistance ring so you can remove your 2 passive points in all res.
