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

With the poison gem nerf The Poison support gem's mana multiplier has been increased from 125% to 135%. It now has 0.5% poison duration per quality (down from 1%). It has 0% increased Poison Damage at gem level 1 (down from 25%) and gains 2% per gem level (down from 5%). It feels like the puncture trap setup needs to be torn down	Posted by BlackYoshi7#7952 on Mar 3, 2016, 9:34:48 AM Quote this Post
Can anyone suggest an optimal levelling skill for ranger for single target and multi? I was thinking Shrapnel Shot or Ice shot. Any suggestions?	Posted by Decembertide#3834 on Mar 3, 2016, 10:29:42 AM Quote this Post
i used ice shot and siege ballista fairly effectively until i get TS. and then i immediately jump on TS 4 linked. tried starting with LA chain setup, but that early TS edges it out.	Posted by alexandrubenza#0928 on Mar 3, 2016, 10:51:54 AM Quote this Post
@NeverSink, with the more damage added to pierce gem, are there changes to the main build you'd make? also, are you going to update guide/loot filter before or after patch? i plan on rushing the whole game and then coming back for ascendancies later, i was just curious when i should check back.

Do you think this is still viable, since TS would be better with Deadeye and LA with Pathfinder? Or is going LA/Deadeye also an option? It is all perfectly viable. First obvious reason being Ascendancy classes are a flat out buff. If it worked just fine before the patch without an Ascendancy class there is no reason why it shouldn't work now. With the two examples you brought up Deadeye brings good abilities for an LA setup and Pathfinder likewise brings good options for a TS setup :) Or you could switch between different setups within deadeye (chain ability is great for LA setup). What about going raider for the frenzy part of the tree, eliminating the need for a frenzy charge setup except against bosses without adds Raider is also great =) You are not eliminating the need for frenzy generation with Raider. 10% is not reliable. Besides blood rage gives you leech and 20% attack speed :) Raider gives you even better frenzy charges and onslaught! That is a massive boost for clear speed which is great.

Thanks a lot for the input. Is it possible to change class or refund points in that tree? Nothing on the wiki yet, on that matter. And currently I think I favor Deadeye for "Fast and Deadly", "Ricochet" and "Far Shot", planning to use LA as main skill.	Posted by Cr4v3n#1308 on Mar 3, 2016, 11:12:08 AM Quote this Post
Updated the frontpage. It's not final, there will be some minor iterations and improvements! If you guys have any suggestions/critique etc, please post it, I've been stalking up this thread in the past days, but the ascendancy class choices on page 1 are more or less what I think works best. Might make a video too. Please don't PM me ingame with filter/guide questions, post them on the forum, after reading the FAQ.	Posted by NeverSink#3349 on Mar 3, 2016, 11:14:34 AM Quote this Post

Thanks for the update, probably one of the best guides on the forum Is puncture trap still the best single target complement to tornado shot or is frenzy/blast rain a better option	Posted by BlackYoshi7#7952 on Mar 3, 2016, 11:25:04 AM Quote this Post
Assassin/Raider Scion looks tempting. Other option I'm considering is leveling as Deadeye/TS and switching to Raider/LA later on. Hard to tell at work without the tree planner, but are the passive tree links updated? Also, it would be awesome to have leveling trees for Scion. If not progressive trees, at least some notes on order of priorities :) Appreciate all your hard work!
