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

I still die here and there, but the biggest upgrades I have made recently have been in direct response to recent comments here. I'm glad I read beyond the first comment.



I just love the Deaths Opus!

@markanthonyfrugal
Thanks for the tips, i'll take them to heart. As for what you asked of me:
I swapped the boots for and i'll get maligaros ASAP. Also i'll look for signal fire to complete the build.

As for Hp, i have only 4.5k HP (with +156% HP) atm, so i definitely need more here. DPS is 26k on Tornado and 70k on Barrage according to Path of Building. (in-game tooltip with no buffs shows 15k tornado). Where should i go from here?

My problem is mostly that i feel slower than some builds (which i'll fix with your good tips) and that i have to do bosses perfectly or i die from 1 hit. What should i do to get a lil bit beefier? Maybe remove doryanis and get a rare belt with +HP? (since with my new boots i'm overcapping 155%/83%/100%)

@erichthered. Normally its grace and hatred. Try it if your 8% mana is enough if not then herad of ice.

@brutaldwluxe. Grats on you 6L opus i tried 3 times maling 6L but i guess rng was only happy to give me 5L lol. By the way with your new upgrades dont you think maybe its the playstyle that kills you? Do you run or blink when its needed for a ranger with hp lower than 6k.

@narcotic. Thanks for the above compliment. Your fast in upgrading lol. If im not wrong i mentioned the best to change for a rare belt with max hp you can also get physical and elemental damage all in one with 3 resistance but will cost alot. Im 88 but you dmg more than mine meaning maybe you need to start getting more life nodes and leech nodes like vitality void. If not enough get lightning coil lie i did 30-40% physical to lightning dmage is a huge buff also try cwdt+phase run (i always use this being invisible is secondary to immortal calls invulnerability), also keep 1 gem socket for infeeble (sometimes are dmg is enough for boss fight but the damage they deal is to much for use so by reducing there damage by 30% gave us like 30% increase hp and resistance in a way. Lastly knowning when to run and blink (this is zero investment aside from 1 socket and blink arrow gem)

The leveling skilltree (3rd picture down here https://imgur.com/a/eGFuu) says we're supposed to refund a point that seems impossible to refund. No matter how many times i try, i can't refund that point. Any reason why?

Also the guide seems to have two different recommendations for the Ice Herald setup. Currently i am using Ice Herald+Curse on hit+Ice Bite+Assassins Mark. Is this the correct setup?

You need to connect the path below it before you can respec that point. After the dex nodes below are connected you can respec it :)

I use HoI + Curse on Hit + Ele weakness it's worked well. Certainly later game when you get more ele conversion I think it'd be stronger. While levelling it's probably not a big deal.

@Hcw87

Are you referring to 1 dex nodes connected Near Herbalism? if yes 100% you can respect that unless you dont have the nodes connecting the rest of your tree or your dont have respect points left in your passive tree.

regarding curse on hit thats correct although i dont suggest assassins mark over elemental weakness.

Yes, i guess i have to move down the tree before i can remove that point, my bad.

I'll switch it up to ele weakness, it's just that the aura section of the build told me to use Ass Mark+Ice Bite for some reason. I guess that part is not updated yet?

No, that setup is great for clearing (automated power charge generation). Ice bite is for frenzies / dmg. It allows for smooth playstyle with less clicking, once you got your dmg running. Elemental Weakness is better for single target/bosses.
For something like guardian fights you might rather want to try something like frenzy (or any other skill as raider) - curse on hit - elemental weakness and generate your power charges beforehand via offhandtricks (jaws of agony or brinerot flag).

Im at 85 now and im fairly happy with how im gonna skill up to 90.

But the last 10 points to level 100 , im having a lot of trouble placing them.

So far this is what im looking at https://poeplanner.com/AAkAAQ0ACRIAAIObjQgu0359df66u-PEou967g5W-n8r_W5-3Xj5jbk51Hb3MfqgnzB8jX0j9k2SUUfnVCT9_96VBdnGMpR_AqbgCIma8V1oyqk-z73mjb_UIwW16NYi6jIBshnPesM6KjjC7LTFDPKly2KsbIydqjY962MDHh9BES-1SNRChG8rCl3yKgtwUonTjDZVS2HiJpUWv3fX459noId2Sn0NjVuvIXaGzsEzTipM_0MxjX7NmOpidcu-p2VNvTbDM1oa2sEuU3TtBS3tgxmOAF6bJt1GY6cRga_ryNwwcd2oS3g6Qkd-02-n1P7IqvioosHYoaTh2wYjexQXJnqE0K1B0F9wg208vtjVAAAAAAA=.

Getting aspect of the eagle , aspect of the lynx and celerity as notable nodes from 90 to 100 , the only other notable i was looking at was "weathered hunter" to maybe have an easier time capping my resists and maybe sneaking another unique in my gear setup.


What are you guys looking at for those 85~ to 100 levels?

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!
