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

What if I replace Tornado shot with Frenzy in Curse-on-hit link? It's never too much APS, right?
What do you think, does it worth it?

Just a quick post about my experience thus far in the 1-month league using Lioneye's Glare.

There are quite a few posts on the Internet claiming that Lioneye's is a poor choice for a physical-crit bow build due to the "Hit's Can't Be Evaded" affix on the bow. What this means is that if you hit a physical reflect mob you will not be able to evade reflected damage. Because of this, there's a perception that Lioneye's is unsuitable because it's thought that you'll often die to reflect.

I was extremely worried about reflect but I saw that Neversink tentatively recommended the bow and I saw a few posts claiming that Lioneye's was in fact fine in a properly constructed physical-crit spec.

So I decided to forge ahead taking the following precautions to minimize reflect problems:
1) Use the Lightning Coil chestpiece (30% of physical damage taken as lightning damage);
2) Use the Physical to Lightning skill gem (50% of physical damage converted to lightning damage);
3) Use a CWDT setup to activate Immortal Call;
4) Spec Vaal Pact

What I've found so far...

Physical reflect for me at level 79 is a complete non-issue. Yellow-spike mob in a pack? No problem. Let fly with Tornado Shot!; no trouble at all.

In fact, I have less reflect trouble with my Lioneye's than I have with my Harbinger (on another charcter in Standard League).

Also, I haven't yet found the need to spec into Vaal Pact, though that remains an option if higher DPS causes any issues.

My gear:


My spec (basically a Neversink spec focusing on life):

I'm lvl 88 with very average gear, at best. I've been using Lioneye's for quite some time and I would say from my experience that it's an excellent bow for early end game and only poses a threat from reflect damage if the rest of your gear is approaching best-in-slot and you have a habit of just face-rolling on tornado shot into reflect packs or on a reflect map. I'd also wager that if you have a great Glyph Mark you're going to die just as fast if you continue to spam TS into reflect packs/maps. If my TS were 20K instead of 15K, I'd be worried about reflect regardless of LG or well rolled Harbinger. I've done nothing with my gear other than run phys->lightning as my 6th gem in TS link.

I can't say from direct experience as I'm still working on crafting my own 6S5L Harbinger. Playing mostly self-found as a casual player who's pretty awful at amassing currency.

Just got this harbinger , seems ok , i was thinking maybe gems or amulet to upgrade ?

Since there is all the talk about Lioneye's Glare, can you comment on it vs an Infractem? I've been doing this build in the 1MSC and been trucking along with Infractem + Thief's Torment, handled up to 73 maps so far with ease. Also, frenzy and curse on hit assassin's mark is so good with Infractem, since you hit the entire pack when you shoot into them, meaning I'm running around with a permanent 4 frenzy charges and often times 4 power charges as well.

Hi everyone!

Thank you OP for this guide. Thanks to it I created a character that beat mercilles for the first time, and got a character that can do maps (level 68). The problem is, that since it's my very first character that got this far, I'm not sure what exactly to do next.



Tabula Rasa and Three Dragons are self found. I have about 1 ex to spend. I already bought Atziri's Step. Next I want to get Marigado's Virtuosity and a 50%+ crit strike, 30%+ multiplier, life quiver. Next change jewellery/belt so that I have max res and as much life as possible.

My skill tree is pretty much the same as in your guide.

Hi guys!
Decided to use TS on both AOE and single target, and now i have a 6L free:



do you have any advice on how optimize it?
I was thinking about a 6L CWDT, cause i don't need curse (already use ass mark on herald of thunder) or another particular attack...

Thank you all in advance!
