Thanks so much Frankenberry!

I followed all your recommendations, hope it looks good now :)

I tried to 5-link my bow...well, after 100 fusings I had a 6-link :D :D

Anyways, I'll craft a better bow sometimes :)

Weeeeeee :D GG! Nice and gz :D

I'm not gonna lie, Multi-Mod + Phys + IAS would make it an incredibly serviceable bow for a long time. Not bad numbers for 6L ^^

Gotta agree. Now that you have a 6-Link use multimod and get phys dmg and attack speed :D

Does that work even if there is already a crafted mod on it?

Thanks you 2 for your help! Maybe one of you is online in Perandus Standard with Maxed Elreon to get some good rolls on my bow? :D

Edit: Frankenberry is a GOD! <3

I will come online. You can borrow my Elreon.

You need to remove the enchant you currently have with a lvl 7 Tora :)

@Saranghaeyo
Nice build and gear :)

Not that you really need advice but here a few comments.

Personally I would try to get some defensive rings with resist, life and int and possibly rare gloves with lots of resists (and life) instead of facebreaker.

This would ensure you could remove the evasion / all resist nodes (your evasion is low anyways due to Kaom's) and you would a whopping 8-10 passive points depending on int rolls.

The 90 crit multiplier is lost though but still - 10 passive points :D But it isn't like it comes without a cost.

Also the merciless lab run should be possible. That Bane of Legends isn't to shabby. 5% attack speed and 50% increased damage vs. rares is quite nice imho :D

Short two-week race update. Starting to think more and more that Lioneye is going to carry me to the promised land. 93 and 33% now, #13 Slayer at the moment. Made some final tweaks.

Cool build, are you doing it for the sake of the race or do you think Duelist/Slayer is actually better for Tornado shot than Ranger? Also do you have another source of AOE pack clear without Herald of Ice, pierce, or chain?

Thanks, makes sense.

Cadiro gave this to me for like 5k coins, could it fit in this build? How would it change?

No not really.

Opportunity cost is way to great. A decent rare > Victario's Acuity.

Hi guys,

A few questions on pierce numbers.

I have a drillneck:



And my Pierce Chance is 60% with TS, GMP, PPAD, PTL, WED, FA
Passive tree: http://tinyurl.com/h9pzavl



The guide mentions 80-85% pierce chance:

"

Q: Why not the whole the pierce cluster?
A: With a quality pierce chance (15/20 or more) and a drillneck, you reach 80-85% pierce chance. You would invest 5 points to get around 30% more projectile damage and 15% pierce chance, which is not efficient by any means. Also 85% pierce chance is pretty reliable, without the need for further increase

So would I be better off going with Pierce instead of Faster Attacks? That would give 110% pierce chance (which seems like a waste)? And how come I am at 60% or 110%, does not match with the 80-85% in the guide! Should I skip the pierce nodes in the tree and use the pierce gem?

If you corrupt your drillneck for +1 arrow put 4 points into the pierce cluster + pierce gem = 100% pierce chance
If you have 10% pierce chance from drillneck just put 3 points in the pierce cluster + pierce gem = 100% pierce chance.

So to be clear: As a Ranger you should always use the pierce gem with your Tornado Shot if you are using Drillneck (As Scion Deadeye you can avoid it if you really want to).

The math in the guide is old and outdated. Pierce gem gives a flat 50% pierce chance now and a more multiplier :D Neversink just doesn't update all his guides constantly. Would take to much time I guess.
