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

So, I have been running this using a +5% Shrapnel Shot as my main attack. I am currently in Act IV of Normal, and I am a 43 ranger. I am curious if you think shrapnel shot scales well enough to keep using or should I replace it before I get too attached? It is pretty nice having the arrows always pierce.

Also, a second question. I am inexperience at the higher level difficulty play. Before they added Act IV, I think I made it to Merciless Act I and always screwed my build up.

How do you tell when an items passives are outclassed by another items just raw damage; and vice versa? Or is this just test it out and see?

For example, I am currently using a Roth's Reach bow. 5 sockets, only 3 are linked.

Stats, cause I couldn't figure out how to properly link mine.
(60 to 80)% increased Physical Damage
(20 to 40)% increased Elemental Damage with Weapons
(4 to 8)% increased Attack Speed
Skills Chain +1 times
30% increased Projectile Speed

Low damage but the passives are crazy. At 43 should I be looking for a 4-5 link Yellow bow, with 100+ damage? I know this is probably a question that has an answer close to YMMV, but this is where my naivety comes into play.

Thank you for any advice in advance.

got Edict of fury on my gloves.

yeah, its pretty great.

repeatedly fires a piercing projectile based on your weapon, converting some phsyical damage to fire. The projectiles form an arc in front of you. has a 5 second cooldown.

is the skill description.

the blue text is then:
attack with this skill when you hit.
fires 10 arrows in a spiral.
100% chance of projectiles piercing


my base attack damage with hatred is, 144-352cold, 26-410 lightning damage, 330-833 phys.

edict of fury's list damage is:
303-740 cold, 402-1016 fire, 54-861 lightning, 346-875 phys.
Which means it has a 110% damage multiplier. (or 210% of base damage.)


making use of this.
well, its 100% pierce. that might impact your choice.
it DOES apply on hit effects for attacks. for example, mine does actually say "3 life gained for each enemy hit" as well, since I have 3 life gained on enemy hit on attack on my quiver.
it converts to fire. about 50% I think, then I have some weapon ele damage on belt, rings making the discrepancy.
it gets 210% of base damage, but has a 5s cooldown. raw damage/crit have value, attack speed does not for it.

total value. yeah. nice little burst on start. I have 3.62a/s 18attacks over 5s.
at just over the value of 2 attacks, this is then 11% of my damage. err. no thats silly. 11% of base attack value. not the supported attacks, getting ppad, wed, FA, or shotgunning of TA. uh, will check that later.
So my TS has 3.82a/s, and 697-2087 total damage 4link. 19.1 attacks/5s. 1740.5/hit x19.1 hits= 33,243damage over5s. (shotgun x3 average= 99,730 over 5s.)
edict of fury is 1105-3492 total damage. 2851 av. 2.8% of the 99,730 average shotgun over that time.

slightly more with less shotgunning, or frenzy, slightly less with more shotgunning, and more links on the TS.

I need some guidance on where to go with my gear right now. Here's my current gear:



I do pretty good damage with the Tabula, but if anything looks at me wrong in T10+ maps I go splat. It doesn't help that I tend to do map mods I shouldn't such as twinned Malformation. I currently have only 3.8k life and 1715 eva (17% chance). I was thinking about a LC but its hard to get the resists right while having enough str/int on my gear. I also got a Cadiro brodeal Shadows and Dust, but again I can't get the resists right. I have about a 4 ex budget right now, what should I try to upgrade?

For his utility combo, what did he mean by HOL? Herald of Ice or Herald of Thunder?

Hey, I was looking at building a LA Scion with the Assassin-Raider Ascendancy. I don't see any builds that start using Scion. Can someone forward me to one or link one in a reply here? Thank you.

Level 74 atm with 3.4k life (only 1 more 4% node I can get), 16k TS tooltip with no procs/frenzy, 36.11% crit and 246% multiplier. I'm starting to feel a bit squishy on t8+ and having a difficult time finding affordable jewelry with better life as I can't afford to lose any str+int due to EC, IC, and Mark. Think its worth dropping Maligaro's for some decent high life gloves?

Also remove the 10% projectile speed + 6% projectile damage OR the 10% projectile damage passive node in the Fury Bolt wheel near duelist.

does anyone know why neversinks build's have this?
that 10% proj damage has to be better then the 6% proj damage, 10% proj speed right?

Is it something that effects LA, blast rain or something?

Projectile speed only determines how far your arrows/projectile travel. No effect on damage.
