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

Hi Neversink

I made this question a few days ago. Maybe the response is obvious, but I would really appreciate an answer, as I do not know which building route to follow.

"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)."

Thanks!

You might be right, I'll have to overthink this and will likely change the skilltree accordingly. Though it is important to remember that a jewel socket can provide a lot of different bonuses.

So in the end it kind of comes down to is

the extra damage+pierce + another jewel > poachers aim + 4 nodes.

It actually might be.

Thanks for the note, I didn't play drillneck this league, so I kind of missed that I guess.
I'll get back on that topic.

Also I finally ended up with a setup I really like, so I'd like to introduce my latest purchase, that'll make an appearance in this guide within the next weeks



It's about time.

Finally I'm streaming very frequently lately, so if you want to see my current iteration of my build in work (not windripper yet, working towards that, but physical->ele harbinger), feel free to visit my stream

Hi Neversink, started playing this build 1 week ago and i got to say it probably one of my most enjoyable build to date (Lv 82 currently) but I seem to have issue taking down some boss down because my dps is is not as high as I thought it would be. my dps in the tooltip for tornado shot is like 11k before frenzy charge and like 22-23k after 6 frenzy charge. Can someone look at my gear and tell me what I should upgrade and what optimization I should make.


Hello !

I would like to know if the passive tree is the same for tornado shot and lightning arrow. (I will use Lightning arrow)


Thanks !
@Legend
Maybe you try lightning arrow with puncture as main skills ^^ works pretty good for me, don't like tornado shot ^^

I wonder if it pays of to combine HoI with CoH AM and Life on hit? Sadly my maligaros are already corrupted but is life on hit worth for bosses?
@xxfumaxx
What gems you use with Lightning Arrow and Puncture and which tree?
This guide was extremely helpful
I am using the Standard aggresive Tree and the jewels that are recommended for LA and Puncture at Page 1 ^^'

Damage is fine, even with my shitty 280 dps bow... but i also have problems with tier 10 up bosses, they kill me most times ^^'
Ok, i`m using frenzy atm, found it more usefull with 4L than Puncture(dont have 2nd 5L atm).
About bosses, well depends on a boss, with my 320dps Lioneye`s Glare i`m simply crushing most of bosses in maps around tier 9-11, except that totem in volcano map.

Atm lvl 84, 4.1k hp, around 15k dps 5L(with chain)LA with 7 frenzy and 3 power charges, and around 40k with frenzy.
