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

I'm trying to play this in Bloodlines and while this guide is amazing, I think I could use more input of which auras/buffs to run.

Was thinking Herald of Ash/Herald of Ice/Grace/Reduced Mana as a base, with no uniques setup.

Would you guys suggest otherwise?

Thanks a lot!

Yes, thank you.
I think this is optimal build for me.

This is the best guide i've ever seen on any forum, hands down.

AMAZING Guide, AMAZING Build

Might have been mentioned earlier, but physical to lightning is a strong gem for this build. Is it possible to update the sexy calculator with it?

Thanks a lot for this build and awesome guide. Level 85 now, definitely the strongest and most fun to play with character I ever had.

Tried to kill Atziri for the first time, failed twice. Everything is fine, except clone phase, kept dying to it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated (should I upgrade my gear or just practice more?)

My gear:



Skill tree



Stats:



Not running herald of ice because of mana issues, using physical to lightning instead of pierce with puncture because was experimenting with it and didn't get around changing colors of chest (should have done that for Atziri I guess?)

Hey i just started playing this build two days ago and i have to say it is rly powerful and fun.

My gear:

Im thinking about starting this build in bloodlines. IF anyone still has their leveling gear could they let me borrow it until ive leveled?

Currently lvl 55 in Bloodlines and starting to wonder if the build is defensive enough... anyone playing endgame in Bloodlines and have any thoughts on how safe this build is for maps? Should I be running Grace or something instead of Hatred?

The best tip in the guide for me personally for handling Atziri, particularly clone phase, is to KEEP MOVING so your moving even when flameblast starts up so no need for reaction time (something I'm bad at personally)! Only stop (preferably outside the other types of attacks too) once you're out of the flameblast radius, to attack a couple times (I used puncture only in this phase), start moving again before the next flameblast is up. And of course don't target the mirror Atziri.

Note I haven't done Atziri since the 1.3 patch so not sure how much harder it is now with the puncture smackdown.

The scion life wheel version has great survivability, however for 74-75+ maps you need Lightning Coil/Grace or trust yourself to never get hit by any big physical hit. Sitting at 5250 health and 47% evasion chance with Coil. Running Grace + Hatred since I geared for enough lightning res to counter the -60 from Coil.
