Hey thank you for this wonderfull guide.
Could you please update the windripper skill trees?
I want to switch to windripper but iam not sure how i should change the skill points.

why not voltaxic ?. windripper is "meh"
voltaxic = small tooltip dps, better "feel" - more ias//chaos damage is "best" : no reflect//lower resist thats why u cant brick maps with voltaxic.
phys is kinda good for endgame. decently crafted bow outdps voltaxic, but the downside is that with absurdly high dps (i had 80k la fullbuffed) u can easily oneshot urself with high hp reflect rare surrounded by huge mob pack.

windripper is somewhere in the middle without anything "strong"
only 1 reason to go winderipper could be mf, otherwise phys//voltaxic is just better

Fast qestion,
i'm using Drillneck version, and i bought corupted drillneck with +1 arrow, but 10% for pierce from normal drilnneck wont be better? Im angry for myself because i didnt check that before i bought that.

Can tell me anyone?

i play pierce TS and dont have much issues with reflect. i do have to play carefully, though, but my flasks,shadows and dusk gloves, vaal grace and my ascendency help a lot. i went for "quartz infusion" and "avatar of the chase", greatly increasing my survivability.

equip:


i run vaal pact btw, leech from equip is sufficient enough that i dont need to take any additional leech nodes. i also have enough manaleech that i dont need any nodes of that, too. if i feel like it, i run an atziris flask for T13+ reflect maps. but usually i drop a flask for divination destillate for more MF and vaal grace for vaal haste for any yellow map until T13.
i'm at 4.2k life and 40-70k TS damage, frenzy went at 110k as i last checked it (full buffed of course)

i need to upgrade my ammy, need life on that, but i needed 60 int so i dont have to take those nodes in the tree but besides that my equip is pretty decent. a 6L bow would be icing on the cake, as would be more % ele dmg, att. speed, flat physical etc, but i dont have stacks of exalted flying around anymore. once this league wents to standard, i will have around 1k life more and nearly 2x the dps with my old gear

you can compensate that by taking the additional 1-2 pierce nodes in the skilltree or an additional poachers aim. i'm currently at 105% pierce chance with poachers aim jewel, 3 pierce nodes, pierce sup. gem and drillneck.

+1 Arrow is way better.

Pierce gem gives 50%
Scion Deadeye gives 50%
Passives give 50%.
Pick a combination for 100% pierce :) Remember pierce is capped at 100%. There is no difference between having 170% pierce and 100%.

Hey, i am thinking about corrputing my gems if they hit 20/20. Is this recommended for higher lvl or maybe too risky?

I usually corrupt level 20 gems if a) I don't desperately need that level 20 gem for my character b) level 21-23 adds a fair amount of value to the gem. There are gems which profit a lot from an additional level (basically those where base damage increases substantially, like Flame Totem or Discharge) and some which don't (like Weapon Elemental Damage, Added Fire Damage).

You should always corrupt a gem unless you do not gain anything from a lvl 21 gem or the increased quality compared to a quality loss. You can lose up to 10% quality and gain only 3%.

So for instance you should not corrupt blood rage since lvl 21 does not matter at all and 3% also does not matter. You should not corrupt herald of ash since lvl 21 does not help you and the 3% quality does not do anything either compared to the risk of losing 10%.

So you should corrupt almost all gems. At least all attack gems / support gems on attacks.

allways level your 2 most importent gems (or the most valuable) in multiples in your 2nd weapon slots. for example: currently i level 3x TS and 3x empower in my 2nd weaopnslots. as soons as they hit 20/20, i corrupt them, sell the trash for some chaos and start all over again. once you hit that lvl 4 empower or your 2nd 21/20 TS (because i wanna keep the 1st 21/20 for myself), you start making huge profit for basicly nothing than your playtime you are allready investing. for the exalts you made there you can simply buy a couple of 21/20 // 20/23 gems you need and just level gems you wanna sell or need for twinks

Hello, thanks for the useful guide!

You said that Deadeye is the standard Ascendancy class for Tornado Shot, but if I use a pierce build with Drillneck how will it stack with Tornado Shot and the +1 chain granted by the Deadeye node Ricochet?
If I understand correctly the projectile should pierce but not chain, or am I missing something?

Would it be better to take Powerful Precision so to get 100% Critical Chance because of the 100% pierce?

I also have a question about Eye of Chayula. Would you run it?

Great qestion, i wanted to ask same, how that +1 chain it's working with TS? And how "Far shot" is working at all? Im not very good in knowles game mechanics.
