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

Additional from above mentioned.

Blink arrow+ice golem+faster attack + anything u want (i put increase suration or blind)

With those setup youll have 4 sockets free. For me i standy endeeble and temporal chain for boss (depends whats needed) and 2 more free sockets just for upgrading gems for selling lol.

@jurasicpark - i will go for ts+ Gmp+ elemental damage+ ptl+ Added cold+ faster attack or ppd or added chaos or actually i dont know hahhaa i never think of going 6L as im happy having 5L but really i guess faster attack.

Guys few tips here about mana and life:
Essence sap for mana leech - enough to fire unlimited t/s (40mana) as long u hit mob not the wall
Vilality void - enough to leech hp to full life without vaal pack (i have 4700hp as long i hit pack of mobs i gain life back 3-4 in 3-4 hits) of course this is not enough for boss fight not unless u equip life gain on hit on the prepared skill but still if boss summons pack of mobs u dont need to bother on using flask just blast on those mobs they u gain full hp.

Regarding ascendancy:
To be honest @lvl88 im did only cruel lab and go straight for +frenzy ascendancy. I feel fine but if i want more dps then i will do merc and uber lab to get elemental penetration acendancy.

New : curse on hit+ elemental weakness+ power charge on crit (this makes assasins mark totally not needed anymore) + concentrated effect + blast rain (if u can get 6L then better but even without still this 5L is best for me)

CWDT: +immortal call+blood rage+ (Anything u want) +phase run(youll become invisible and able to retreat safely to safe position)

Auras: for 3 months nothing beats hatred and herald of ice for me. H

Gears tested after 3.0 release:
Bow - lioneyes. Cheap and beats my 420 dps bow. Never feel scared of elemental reflects just keep eye on your hp
Quiver - signal fire - best in slot for 50 chaos
Body armour - for me lightning coil (if u can get relic would be better but very expensive but so fat 30% still better that the following) tested comparison with daressos, belly of the beast, queen of forest, kintsugi.
Helm - rats nets still the best for me give more dps
Gloves - maligaros still the best for me give more dps
Boots - atziris still the best for me but since i need resistance for lightning coil i go for rare
Belt. Rings. Amu. - rare with high life, resistance and flat dmg or crits.

Enchants:
Helm - secondary or 40% damage to tornado shot
Gloves - commandment of fury or spite
Boots - 45-65 cold damage or 16% attack speed.

Best one for me so far. Focus on 1. max resistance 2. More hp and 3. More dmage.


Happy gaming guys.



What's your tooltip dps and do you have issues with bosses? :/

Can someone explain what are the optimal gem links for endgame for the pure Tornado build with no secondary attack ?


the best setup depends on your gear, check path of building for your current / desirable gear.

Since you want a different answer:

Tornado Shot - GMP - PTL - WED - x - dmg on full life

x: for map clear added lightning, for bosses ele focus. Dmg on full life would be the 6l.


Bought this shiny beast for the full ele conversion build. I can't wait to multicraft it for life/res :)
@meirinkras
Such an achievement men.
Yes bosses hp @3.0 are buff as result they wont fall down fast unlike before. Normally it took me 4-5mins killing T10 rare map boss as the i need to keep avoiding his chaos damage and also good that he spam minions it help to kept hp leech constantly.

Regarding my tooltip dps t/s is 13k with any buff, passive: all focus on hp nodes including full constitution passive nodes and phase those nodes are not covered yet in nerversink tree. I have no elemental penetration, zero heavy draw circle of nodes and zero frenzy nodes. I prioritize surviving hits over inflicting heavy hits as for now mobs are one shots (of course not poorjoys mobs it takes like 3-4 shots) as a result i manage survivability easily. Now that i can take damage i will focus now in dps passive nodes.

HP tooltip 4800k, max res and 13k dps no buff :with lightning coil, rats nest and rare boots or atziris
Hp tooltip 5700k 160 resistance and 9k dos no buff with belly of the beast, rare helmet and rate boots

With buff and all roughly 22k dps. I believe if i fill in neversink dps tree will all buff power charges and frenzy i will go like 40-45k dps in my current gears.

To be honest i played this before 3.0 i go full dps and medium hp but i like my thickness now low dps. For me low dps can manage with good positioning and playstyle also and i just did poorjoys no death on boss fight.
Some more info and gearcheck will be appreciated for a total nub like me. I went for the first build the tornado shot wihtout secondary, atleast for know till i find good 6L chest or kaom. I am total beginner and i love this game. I would like to know how can i optimise my builds to level faster with this current gear.

I have the famous helm

I got these sweet gloves

I guess this belt is not so bad

I got the boots i have 4L version too

The chest

The rings and the jewels are np i understood what to look life and res to cap my res.

This is my bow
5 link
i got these 2 quivers


Now the drama for me is that i don't know which quiver is better for the 5L Tornado and what combination of gems should i use, can i use the drillneck and do i need pierce. what do i need for the setup and what do i need for the signal fire setup if its better dps.

My second biggest drama is i do not know how to setup my gems. The only thing i figured out so far is.

I like [CWDT+IC+ID] but what to put in the 4th slot of this combo [CWDT+IC+ID+what]?

My aura in the gloves slot [Hrald of Ice + Ice bite support + Curse on Hit + Assassin's mark] and i have hatred on a separate slot. Do i really need Curse on hit and Assassins's mark ?
Otherwise in the helm i use Ice Golem + blink arrow + faster attacks + bloodrage.


What would u do at my place?
Which quiver and how to setup the gems.
Thanks in advance.

I guess this is the best place to ask so I will give it a shot:

I have started this league with one of the usual budget builds and made some currency so far. Now I would like to reinvest into a bow build and am having a hard time deciding on the class.

A few infos beforehand:
-the plan is to go full ele conversion
-I can invest a few ex into the build, so budget is not really needed
-I'd like to avoid running bloodrage and get my frenzy charges by other means
-I know pathfinder tends to win in the very endgame setup but i dont plan to start as one
-I'm most likely running Herald of Ice + Curse on Hit + Ass Mark + Icebite (power, frenzy and shatter)

Here comes the 2 options I have come up with so far but feel free to soggest anything else:

1) Ranger -> Raider
Way of the Poacher - Avatar of Slaughter (thats a must have basicly)
Which 2 other ascendancy nodes do I pick, most guides seem to suggest Quartz Infusion and Avatar of Veil but I dont see why you wouldn't go for Rapid Assault and Avatar of Chase?

The advantage of Raider is obviously the free Frenzy Charges on mobs and bosses

I am kinda worried about the elemental scaling tho aswell as getting instagibbed by reflect

2) Scion -> Elementalist/Raider or Deadeye
Elementalist lets you ignore reflect basicly aswell as getting 6% pen + conflux
Raider gets you (low) frenzy on bosses (unsure if 10% chance is actually enought to keep frenzy up cause I dont a high lvl bow char)
Deadeye gets you free pierce and an additional arrow, but I'll have to ditch boss frenzy completely

In this setup, I'm afraid I wont be able to keep frenzy up at all on bosses.

tldr;
I wanna do a bow currency sink that goes for 100% ele conversion, which ascendancy should I go for:
Ranger -> Raider
Scion -> Elementalist/something

I hope some of the more experienced bow players can help me,
thanks
I dont understand what the following statement means.. Could someone please explain why i dont need a single target skill with tornado ?
"This setup doesn't need a secondary attack and can rely on Kaom's instead"
Hey, I'm newer to the game and not sure what gems I should use in alpha howl with queens besides grace. Any advice is welcomed. Thank you for your time.
I'm feeling a bit stuck on t11+ progression, also i can´t do atziri because i'm too squishy. Where would logically be the next item i should upgrade? I'm thinking about getting rid of Doryani's, but i'm not sure. Can anyone help me figure that out?
