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

It's just that it isn't a brainless build until you get full geared. It requires placement skills and it asks to react quickly to some situations. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if half of the complaining players have poorly leveled their tree and don't know how to get proper stuff for a really cheap budget.

The only part I agree with is that the build need little tweaks here and there but the main stuff is explained and easy to understand. If you're not comfortable to start a league with builds having a steep learning curve switch to a league starter build. There are a lot on the forums, youtube & streams. Switch back to this build once you have enough currencies to get some good pieces.

I'm not here to brag or whatever but I've done Merc Lab at Lv 67 with crappy stuff and resists around 30-40%. I think I barely had 2k HP.

Do you have proper flasks ? (2 HP flasks, one quicksilver, one diamond, one Atziri Promise is pretty ok to start map with). Did you pick enough defensives nodes in the tree instead of going full offensive while leveling ? Have you done all your gems setup including IC+CWDT ; HoI/HoT+Curse ? Did you pick enough life leech in the tree (you can respec these later) ? Do you Blink when you need to blink and run when you need to run ? (This one is important, as blinking instead of running could kill you in some situations / AoE ). Have you purchased a Lioneye's Glare as soon as you leveled 66 ? (Death's Opus isn't that good if you are going full ele conversion and will be even less good later once you corrupt quiver & enchant helmet for + x arrows).

Lioneye's glare is amazing in 3.0. Actually I'm almost sure that a near perfect roll Lioneye's Glare (~350-360 pdps, 24% elem) will be on par with a 400+ pdps Harbinger. (I'm about to test this in the next few days). Even if it isn't, it certainly is on par with a 380pdps one. Plus that new Far Shot is sexy as hell with both LA & TS.

^^^well said men.

By the way your theory is right i have 401pdps total 480dps bow which is par with my lioneye 343pdps. Bth im using lioneyes and not the 480dps bow. Done poorjoy @lvl87 deaths on mob as its my first time to do and not aware of the layout and dmg of them but no death on boss as by the time i reach him im used to the map already. By the way what is far shot?

A reverse Point Blank, up to 30% more damage if you're far enough but without negative downside unlike Point Blank. Not really useful with Barrage but does a nice clearing job with LA/TS even with only 4 links.

Far shot (link to poe gamepedia)

Wow i didnt notice this in the new acendancy nodes as i go straight to frenzy. I will have a look later when i reach home. Thanks men.

@ploxirion
Imo, Death's Opus is still at least on par with Lioneyes. With 1-2 accuracy and flat dmg rolls on gear it's never going to be outdamaged for barrage pre extra proj. Don't see, what's wrong with Death's Opus for ele conversion at all - it has been the go-to-Bow for it last league (Signalshot..) unless you got a 40+Ex double-legacy-Reach. Crit multi on it got nerfed - but so was the multi on tree.

And even with 5 extra arrows from enchant, dying sun and quiver it's rather close. With new "Far Shot" Lioneye's is a viable alternative though and I can see why people choose it playstylewise. Then again, you got reflect, so it's really not that clear.

I agree with the comment about rare / Harbinger bows. Those are in a really bad spot and I wouldn't pick a rare over any half-decent unique bow now, unless the rare is completely GG (and prob 10Ex+).

and for unknown reasons all these pro guys have hidden characters

Nice point out but yesterday night i check the dps while equiping opus plus drillneck+1 and even signal fire it has more if times by arrows but while playing lioneyes perform well for me. And i feel blast rain is suitable single target combine with t/s but i'll give another try to opus by the way my opus and lioneyes have high rolls so tonight after checking i will confirm which one does better job.

^^ how can i open my ranger so other players can see my passive and gearing priorities

Guys i was supposed to realocate 1 point as it was stated in the leveling tree but i messed up and im a bit far ahead and didnt realocated that , does it will make too much difference and i should go asap realocate that ?! like spend my currency which i dont know if can fill it ? The one left to Herbalism and life that is supposed to go down close to start path to Thick skin nodes.

^^ how many points have u wasted? And you said its life nodes (then shoudnt be a bad decision). If you feel on game play that the nodes u have chosen is wrong then respect it but if not then just leave those nodes for now and go back to the right pattern of the build tree. Maybe in time the nodes you chosen will make your gameplay more interesting. Have fun men.
