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

Hey there,

First of all, thanks for the great guide. Wouldn't reach the level I'm at now without it.

Anyway, I have 2 question that bother me greatly.

1. I've corrupted a quiver and it turned out like that:



Some people told me it's worth quite a lot and that I should probably stick to it, so I did. Then they told me to switch my TS GMP for LMP. I did so, but I'm not sure if that's the right approach. What gem would you personally use with that quiver for TS?

2. I don't really run - max ele or ele weakness maps, because well it's quite easy to die there (1m flashback league is kinda crazy with the mods). Is there a point in overcapping resistances to 125% to counter the curses? Not sure if that should bother me or not. Atm, I'm at 80-130% with my reses, except chaos obviously.
1. very good quiver indeed, and switching to LMP seems to the right choice. In optimal conditions, you get 4*70% instead of 5*50% before, so you gain 30%. With GMP and this quiver, you would have 6*50% which is even more, but the probability to shotgun with 6 arrows seems rather low, maybe null even.

2. I do ele weakness maps by switching my HoA's ele prolif by Purity of Element, then I must turn off HoA. If you can have enough overcap resist to absorb ele weakness without impairing your build, then yes do it, definitely.
-max res: it depends of the other mods :p

If the witches watching watches watch the same watch while you watch which witch watches which watch, they switch watches; then, the watch switching witches watch which watch you watch.
Watching witches watch watches is not for the faint of heart...
so i got the maligaros and bought new boots and ring to cap my resis, save for a better bow now ? FA or AFD for 5th link ? TS-GMP-PPAD-ICD-?

some quivers in my stash

FA / AFD: pretty similar in term of tooltip dps. FA uses more mana, AFD will be resisted more easily.
Bow needs an upgrade for sure.

I made some adjustments to my setup just based on my playstyle. At the moment I'm just doing 1-2 man 75-77 maps (saving all 78 for Dom Rots) so I don't really need Puncture unless I start doing Atziri again, which is not remotely profitable in perm league and I'd rather have the exa from Fragments.

This is what I'm using now:

I also have:



Which potentially could allow me to switch to LMP but I lose a lot of crit, so I'm hesitant to do so. Kaom's, even if non-Legacy, has been super nice and I'm sitting about 30 life away from 6K life. I have currency prepped for a potential Glyph Mark buy, but I really don't want to commit to anything, especially with new tier mods and potentially different gem configurations.

Only 27K GMP TS with 20Q Gems (leveling a new set atm so they will be lower in what I linked), but more than enough for 75-77 Maps

You don't need a better bow, honestly. I'd rather mirror an amulet or quiver with legacy crit multi, but I agree you should wait until 2.0, so that we know more about the new tier of mods.

Yeah I just feel for some reason 27K GMP TS is somewhat low for damage, but could just be me. The bow I have is nice, ~389 pDPS I believe, but the allure of getting another 160 pDPS is definitely tempting.

I did take a look into Legacy Crit Multi quivers and well rolled ones are definitely gonna break into the mirror fund if I choose to go that route, so I haven't decided yet. However, that said, maps have really not been a problem. Gonna get together a 6L so I can still have a Puncture-Trap setup.

hey guys i got a question!

its prolly a bit stupid but whatever

first of all - the guide is excellent and does not miss any important things


the thing i have a problem with is the leveling section

i am really familiar with all other classes but i just cant play with ranger it seems


so my question: what should i level with ?

im playing in the 1month hc league and got alot of stuff from other chars that i can use


do rangers lvl with bows, and if so which skills ?

i got split shot as first quest reward and it SUCKS :O

ofc i only have a white bow yet, but this 2 arrows almost do no dmg and im out of mana in seconds

should i better use a 2h weapon and rush through the acts with static strike ? ( i do that with marauder/templar/duelist)


maybe some experienced ranger can help me out with my issue..

i read the whole guide more than 1x and i know there is a leveling section, but he writes that we do good dmg and can tank a bit -> i feel nothing of that yet, in fact i couldnt even do the first mobs without problems ( WAY more problems than with other classes )

any advice is highly appreciated !

thanks

Generally for leveling if you have access to Elreon Jewelry it's pretty easy.

Silverbranch >>> Quill Rain early with Burning Arrow (from the dead exile) to get you to Storm Cloud, with 2 pieces of Elreon Jewelry Storm Cloud carries you pretty far. At 32 you get Death's Harp and the rest is up to you :)
