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

What is up, NeverSink! I already followed this build in Essence League and it was awesome.

For this league I really want to do an Ice Shot Raider because I like the skill functionalities overall.

But I'm a little bit confused on the gem links, should it go like:


- ICE SHOT + GMP + PPAD + PhysToLight + Elemental Damage with Attacks + Main/faster attacks
- BARRAGE + PHYSTOLIGHT + ELEMENTAL DAMAGE WITH ATTACKS + PPAD + MAIM + SLOWER PROJ



Or go more like:



- LIGHTNING ARROW + PHYSTOLIGHT + ELEMENTAL DAMAGE WITH ATTACKS + GMP + CHAIN + Faster Attacks
- BARRAGE + PHYSTOLIGHT + ELEMENTAL DAMAGE WITH ATTACKS + PPAD + MAIM + SLOWER PROJ

???

I was confused if the first one was EXCLUSIVELY for Tornado Shot or could work with IS/LA too.

Also, with Ice Shot, is it worth to pick some cold damage node or they aren't worth the extra points?


Thank you man!

I uh... didn't think Elemental convert was necessary on a Scion tornado shot... my passive tree is way different than that one, am i still screwed if I'm using this?

i was intending to use crit as much as possible but i didn't realize that elemental convert was necessary... or is it? ^^;

This was my very first successful build when I played PoE. I haven't played this build in a a long time so I'm gonna give it another try. In 3.0 which is better Lightning or Tornado shot?

Anyone done Guardians/Shaper with this build on 3.0?

Just respecced a level 86 toon to Raider, using my old Kotf assassin gear and some rares i had stashed, wondering how's single target and what would be optimal setup.
Gonna be spamming mesas/strands and push to 92-93 at least but boy that Oak kill took like forever, also mana sustain felt a bit lacking. Still need to swap gear around and decide what to use for single-target.

Current gear :

Hello, this may be a stupid question or I may have just accidentally not seen it in the guide, but in what order should I spend my ascendancy points for the raider? Thank you very much!

Just wanna do a gear check thoughts?

The frenzy charges line first , then the phasing one.

@morilumuka. This build can run any skill gem posted above neversinks guide. You can use LA, Split arrow or ice shot but its necessary to have another single target skill as its mainly very good for aoe dmg but not much for single target.
For your gem links its better to check placing those gem in socket then check you dps then choose among which show giving you more dps. I guess my verdict is your choice of skill+gmp+ptl+elemental+added cold+slower proj (the 5L is tested gives the more dps for me but 6L is just my verdict try it and see)
For passive regards ice nodes i feel that its better to go for those nodes suggeted first then if you have extra points left after taking full hp nodes ice dmage nodes is not a bad addition too.

Can someone tell me, what to improve next? I have problems with dealing dmg to bosses on T8+ maps.Also, on higher maps im one shoted.

@ridox112.
It shows that you have done your homework with high HP and max resistance on gears and cast when damage taken set up nicely.
Having 1 shot is part of this game but it only happens in a very unfortunate times whereby a very unique mob appears on the map. Im not sure if you taken acrobatics and enough life on passive? Also try to lower down you cwdt to lvl1 set up it will reduce the duration but in return you will activate it more often.
