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

The issue is all the skill points you have to spend to make Puncture viable. It took a huge bleed nerf. Tornado Shot works well for mapping, in my experience, I'm just not sure what to put on for Atziri. I, personally, feel that Split+pierce+CoH+AM work well, unless you want to do a TS+GMP variation.

im having lot of fun so far with this build but 1 thing that bother me a lot......god....this build is squishy as fuck while lvling....i kill everything easily but i cant take hit at all.like today i entered a corrupted area and at the entrance there was an exile with dual EK+bear trap+ vulnerability and i couldnt do anything again him....he was killing me in like 2-3 hit and was perma trap in is fucking bear trap.he killed me like 4 time and i gave up.i meet the same one earlier today and it was a fucking pain to kill also but i managed to kill him since i had a good area to kite him but still killed me once.some of the exile so far are insanly hard because i dont kill them as fast then trash mobs and some have insane skill combinaison....this may get better later but so far,if you get hit or trap,its over.i only have like 2k2 life at lvl 60 with decent life on gear and i havent skip much life nods...im better skiping all the remaining dmg/crit nods and going to grab every life nods i guess

Not reading 87 pages.
So maybe someone else posted this. I found the build to be very viable in Beyond Hardcore League. I died at level 93. I did run Lightning Coil. Kind of mandatory in hardcore. I made Minor Adjustments to the build. Since it's 1.3 now, I can't really link it. But I went almost exactly what Neversink Posted. I never got to a 6 link. I crafted my own bow, it was pretty decent in fact i will link my gear.
I liked it so much I decided to roll it again this league(hardcore)
I had never done Atziri with any character, and i don't play softcore. So I got to run Atziri after i died in softcore. Ran her 3 times. I did not die my first time through. But came close a couple times. I had 5400 life or so I think...I forget.
This build raped, It was really elite. Funnest build I have ever played. Something so satisfying about that tornado shot sound.
What killed me? In a league where I was told, no one alcs their maps, because it was soo hard as it was...I was alcing all my maps...and running Everything...min max, temp chains, extra dmg, all of it. What killed me finally was I was spacing out...and ran into an exile with min max...it was the flameblast exile...gg. one shot.
Here is the gear I attained:

Here was my build essentially.

i like ur variation icematrix.you dont seem to lose much offence compared to OP build but you gain LOT more hp.

That Icematrix tree looks like a good plan for my GFs self-found tornado ranger am i right? Lotsa HP and not so quishy?

If you play in hardcore i think you if you replace one of your Herald with Grace it will be tougher a bit.

I put the original tree and Ice tree in poebuilder, and thats the result:

Original:


Ice:


Biggest Differences:

Original has much more Accuracyrating(60% vs 20%)
Ice got a bit more life/evasion/crit/multi

But i dont rly know if the Accuracy is or the other stats are more important.

I'm updating the guide right now!

Chances so far:
-Reworked the passive skillmap section!
-Added new leveling order of passives
-Added different example builds
-Added 213% life hardcore variation
