why not drillneck

Afaik drillneck doesn't get extra damage from Tornado Shots 100% pierce, and getting extra pierce isnt efficient and doesn't help tornado shot.

Drillneck is a huge dps boost for tornado shot.
I put points into heavy draw and deadly draw. I heard some people said they're not worth investing points into, is that right?
My opinion on Drillneck is this: it's worth using, it's up to you if you do though. If you're going to then the best way about it is to wear the Drillneck and get the pierce passive. I don't think you gain enough benefit from a pierce gem in your gear compared to the damage you'll lose from a crucial gem slot.

That said, if you already have a pretty good quiver (mine gives plenty of good stuff and 2% mana leech which saves 3 passives) then it's probably not worth getting a Drillneck. It's not that much better or large enough of a difference imo. It probably will be a dps increase but has its pros and cons.

In which order of importance would you add quality to the gems?
Both Tornado Shot and Puncture don't seem that much of a huge upgrade to warrant the cost.
At least when you compare it to things some other spells get from quality, like Flameblast.

Yea it's a tough call. I upgraded my GMP and Crit damage. The rest I'll probably do sometime soon when I start mapping again. Didn't want to upgrade and have to relevel them just yet.

Great build! Can you pls. post the passive tree link? The one it's linked doesn't seem to work :(
I've just luckily alc a ilvl 73 Harbinger Bow. Result :



Yay!
Ice Shot + pierce(with nodes for pierce) + proj dmg + elem prolif and for 5L wep elem dmg AND "The Tree Dragons" is just amazing. shock + amazing ignite destroying everything in room! Tree Dragons is so cheap, I recommend trying.

Great build.

Leveling was fun and easy, gearing early on was fairly cheap and most if not all map mods are doable for the build. Only reason I die sometimes is because I stupidly shoot at a large pack of reflect mobs

Current Gear some pieces could still be upgraded:
