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

So i have read that this build is somewhat outdated.. Could someone please post me a skill tree link that i should be going?

First character so want to make sure i get it right first time around, my knowledge is very lacking as i am still learning. Thank you!

I was following the leveling tree guide and am hoping i haven't screwed up yet. This is what i have so far.

Honestly there's not much to it. You look at any other build that also uses elemental conversion you'll see the majority take the same route heading for primeval force and you'll see they grab the major life nodes, jewel nodes and respective damage boosts to your desired build and also taking the elementalist ascendant skill and ranger start path node.

However...

I know the guide is supposed to tell you where to put your points but really look at what the nodes are giving you. I skipped the jewel nodes until I actually had jewels worth socketing. I skipped entire node clusters because I needed mana leech at one point and just bee lined towards the mana leech node along the guides path. Now at this point I feel like I don't even need it anymore.

I'm thinking of doing the exact same thing when I get my next ascendancy points, getting ranger start node, connect to the main tree, refund all the small value return early points from the early dex nodes and allocating them to nodes farther out that have much higher return. This is how most scion builds look it seems like and it makes sense.

Go for what you need as you need them and what you can get away with.

Compared to many, I am a inexperienced player (while a bit old in age); and I appreciate some help and guidance getting my lvl 86 raider past a point where it is stuck in end game mapping in standard.

I can clear the main maps without issue through ~map 7 or 8, but I die too often in the boss fights 6+.
I have changed a # of setups to increase defense, but I am stuck figuring out what else I can do. Perhaps changing equipment, I have ~300c to spend, but the best stuff gets crazy expensive in standard.
Here are my typical boss fight items.
My items

Spoiler

I am normally running Arctic Armour, Ice Golem and Herald of Ice.

Thanks for the help in how I should change my setup to better manage boss fights.

PS Here is my build; which is pretty close the the base build recommend in this forum:

https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/3.0.0/AAAABAIBAABeBbUILgzyDY0RLxGBFr8XJhmOIXYi6iPTI_Yk_SaVKgsqODB8MfoyATKUNj031DnUPL4-z0MxR35KfUz_TZJOKlFHVUtW-loaW69d8l9wYeJirGOnZU1noGyMbydwUnXLdf1293fXePl6hH11ft1_An8rg22Eb4bOh3aJ04w2jX2Nfo25jb-VBZpqmyabjZ2qoJ-ly6bgshm0xbVIu-O9Nr3mvqfBM8FJwuzDM8M6xKLI3M2Yz3rTftQj1ELY1dnG3Ubjn-dU6NbqYusU62PtP-2D7g7vev1u_h3-uv_e?accountName=swalk&characterName=Fire__Arrow

I reorganized to use Vaal Pact, and I use my cloak of defiance to redirect 20% of damage to Mana (Mind over Matter and separate listing of 10% of Damage taken from Mana before life). Problem is not the leeching which I have fairly high, but the bosses hitting me too hard too fast (close to 1 hits), getting past all of the layers of vasion, dodge, 2 layers of CWDT. Not sure what is going wrong :)

Bumping this up - appreciate any help.

@zelai theres so much more life nodes around the tree where u can go for. Im @lvl 88 now and and focus more on life nodes around the tree including the big cicle of life nodes which is not included in neversink tree. By lvl 90 i will complete the life nodes and thats the time i will go for bow damage on the right side, all frenzies and elemental penetrations. I prioritize more in surviving hits because @lvl 88 i can still one shot T10 mobs if not at least with elemental weaknes curse on it.

How does people feel about the 4 points to get Phase acrobatics? 30% chance to dodge spells seem like a really powerful defense tool.

Oh yeah and acrobatics are on my tree first thing before i fill my hp nodes as it help a lot if you have high evasion and ranger playstyle of hit and run with acrobatics you will feel like untouchable not unless you stand still then youll get hit lol.

My own point of view i follow guide completely but if i feel dps is one shotting mobs then i gp for life nodes. I believe in any game life will never be enough thats why i always talk about hp and defensive setup. Dps will come as long u upgrade gears and u have currency for it. By the way this might help cwdt+immortal call+anything u want (i choose blood rage)+phase run(best one for me so far, make me invisible and get to a more safer position)

Can anyone tell me which pantheon skills to pick for this build? Thank you, couldn't see it and new with this whole stuff...

LEVELING:

Here are some hints on how to make leveling easier:

1) DAMAGE - Use burning arrow as your single target early on and sharpnel shot for multitarget. Switch to lightning arrow with LMP later on. You can run ballista and firetraps early on to help damage. Blast rain is your best single target until you get a real barrage setup.
Use Blastrain->PhysToLight->ElementalDamage->ConcEffect/PPAD to maximize your leveling/early mapping DPS´

Excuse me the stupid question but till level 28 and get Tornado Shot I should use Burning Arrow (ST) / Sharpnel (AOE) THEN LA + LMP (AOE and ST?) up till 28 and THEN start using Tornado Shot + LMP + anything else? (AOE/ST) and Blastrain (ST)?
