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

Hey,

Just finished the acts on HC, level 71, would like some suggestions on how to proceed on the passive tree:



I'm thinking of heading to the warrior's side, or towards the Consitution node. Check my gear too if you like, appreciate any suggestions.

Hey guys, relatively new to PoE and I've been using this build so far up to level 42. I had a few quick questions:

1. For my normal ascendancy I went the phase line for raider instead of frenzy line. Is it worth regretting those two ascendancy points to go into frenzy? Or should I just start the frenzy line the next time I do lab?

2. I'm having some mana issues when using Hatred + Herald of Ice since 75% of my mana is reserved and a 5-link TS uses a lot of mana. I picked up the one mana leech node while leveling (shown in the leveling skill tree images) but should I pick up more? I'm still using 1 mana flask and I have to spam it pretty frequently in order to keep attacking with TS. I thought this build didn't need a mana flask at this point in the game.

Here's my 5-link setup:


And here's my passive tree:

1) Not even close to worth it , just pick it up next time.

2) The mana gets better as you get more stuff , if i spam 3 seconds tornado shots w/o hitting anything i go oom but as long as im hitting 1 or 2 mobs i cant run out of mana. So its up to you , maybe you want to pick up a node or 2 and then regret them out once you are more comfortable.

1) Lion's Eye Glare 4-link + Signal Fire > 5-link bow. (7346 vs 7331 dps) You will have to make up resists somewhere.
2) Gems should be TS + GMP + PtL* + Ele Damage w/ Attacks + Added Cold for 5 link. (Current: 5955 dps vs 7331 dps) *Added Lightning is stronger for now. I think PtL outpaces it later on though.
3) This will give you better dps per point than the other setup.
4) Depending on how you feel your leech is, you could look into picking up Vitality void + the Life and Mana Leech node.
5) It's also perfectly fine to start heading to Warrior as long as your damage feels up to par for the content.

@DaMoo
You kind of have to run with one mana flask until you get good enough damage to out leech it.
I would just drop HoI for now.

Thanks a bunch.

I feel my damage is fine, at least against mobs (for comparison, act 10 final fight took a while though). But shall soon upgrade I guess. And I'll definitely look into that gem setup.

I'm also doing okay on the mana front actually, with the 2 nodes from Essence Sap cluster (didn't need to pick up Sap itself).

Life leech is probably average atm, but the main question on my mind is: when do I get Vaal Pact, if at all? Is it a must going forward (I guess in reflect maps)?

Don't have a set answer for you. I found that until I got my damage high enough, I was better off with leech + life regen. I would say once you get the bow and quiver you should be good. I forgot to mention that the dps I listed was based off the Blackgleam quiver and not Signal Shot. Signal shot should give you a good increase since it adds 35% phys as extra fire damage.

Okay. So when exactly did you get Vaal Pact?

Honestly don't remember.
I just know I specced into it early on and noticed that one TS into a pack of mobs was barely increasing my health. :(

Double Post

Why get VP when no leech on tree is taken?
