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

@thatwazez Tree looks very decent so far. You can get the duelist life / dmg nodes next. The gems are looking ok too, I'd get some form of barrage setup in the bodyarmour if I were you. You prob know my maligaro's rant, so I'd leave it out here.

You can try to get crit multi on the ammu and flat dmg on your jewellery. Your tree is decent in a way that it supports general dmg (no useless %phys nodes taken) therefore you might want to buy jewellery with T1-T3 added cold/lightning at some point. Lioneye's is a fast bow, thus the added dmg is quite effective there. Aim for the items which are useful for your build, but not for doomfletch prism I'd suggest.

Lioneye's Fall, rare jewels, dying sun are the other obvious upgrades, once you get more currency.

In the skill tree section there's a tree for Elementalist/Assassin Scion and there's some nodes picked from the Ranger area that aren't linked to anything. Shouldn't you have Path of the Ranger ascendancy node to do this? How else should I spend those points if this is the case?
I'm fairly new to the game so I might just be missing something. :)

coverting fully by PTL gives lesser result. i dont use it on any of my link this 3.0 (elemental focus and added lighting are better than PTL)

But you don't fully convert Tornado shot without PTL. Plus with it, the shock is still pretty awesome (since it is basically a shotgun).

Guy but why u advice to take ele-focus? With it the curse on hit+herald of ice-curse doesn't work since you can't shatter the enemies anymore.

Ok u can change it in some way i think, but for example Vandorak your curse on hit-herald of ice-ele.weakness is useless!

Or am i wrong?

I have 4 question. I use ts build 1

1.if i want to buy perfect form which stat have higher priority %evasion rating or % dex
2. can anyone list what enhancement from lab i should get for all my equipment.
3. if i need to choose which better add ele dmg or flat physical dmg
4. i use carnage heart onyx amulet but it leech based on physical dmg. how it fit on my build which convert physical dmg to ele dmg?

Imo you're perfectly right, I'm not a big fan of it either. Sure, you get a higher Path of Building number with ele focus, but the clearspeed should go down quite dramatically. Just run some maps with "monsters have 90% chance to avoid ailments" and compare the clearspeed to the normal runs. Imo it's nowhere close. In addition you are actually shocking trashmobs w/o elefocus (if you aren't oneshotting them anyway).

So there is a lot to be said for NOT using ele focus - except for bossfights, where's simply the highest multiplier. But..a gem swap or a barragesetup look like more elegant solutions.

you arent wrong.. i had to change a lot my gem to find something correct, but with this kind of build, ele.weakness cant reach an high level.. with my actual gear, its around lvl 5 only!!

edit : keep leveling this gem.. nevermind

Also in the guide, he says :

"

Link [herald of ice] to [curse on hit][assassin's mark] and [ice bite]

my assassin mark is level 15 and works better i think

For single-target proj-weakness is much better anyways. And you can lvl it up all the way to lvl 20. Learned it myself only a week ago or so by browsing the Doomfletch-guide by Ahfack.

Something you can do is a general G-G-B-B- setup with
mapclear: HoI-CoH-AssMark - x (frenzy/ice bite)
boss: frenzy-CoH-PCoC-Proj Weakness

Im currently running with this build but i don't recommand it. I instant die in low lv map.
Switching for a berzerk now

Hey there,

I would like to thank everyone who has been posting and helping out others as it's been of assistance to me as well.

I have come asking for some assistance

I know my gear is pretty basic at the moment but I was curious if someone could give me some direction for upgrading.

I know things are far from optimal, but I feel lost when looking for upgrades at the moment as I am unsure what will benefit me the most moving forward.

Here is my pastebin as well to help make your lives easier

Thank you very much for any assistance you can all provide!
