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

Quick heads-up, for the Scion build you guys better go with Ele + Raider instead of Ele + Deadeye.


Projectile pierce is quite useless with LA, and is completely useless with Barrage.
Projectile speed is meh.
Projectile damage as they travel further is pointless since you'll be in melee range with Barrage (and you should get Point Blank once stuffed)
Skills fire an additional projectile is also meh. You'll fire 1 arrow (base) + 3 (barrage) + 2 (helmet enchant) + 1 (corrupted quiver) + 1 (deadeye). Going from 7 to 8 arrows isn't a great DPS gain.

Raider will give you :
Movement speed, a decent utility stat
4% dodge, more survivability
Onslaught + frenzy charges against bosses / rares = a shit ton of DPS.

Also don't link your LA gem with phys to lightning. You should be using the signal fire quiver to get to the 100% ele conversion.

Also, one mana leech node is enough once you are 66+ and use lioneye's glare.

My tree at level 80

I'll probably remove one or two life leech nodes later. Next goal is to get my last ascendancy and to get more survivability from the ranger tree.

For those having mana issues, I would say that you should consider picking up a better bow (most likely). I used a Death's Harp that I picked up for 1c early in the league all the way up to lvl 66 and had 0 mana issues with just the one mana leech node and a 4L LA(and some 4L TS).

The Deadeye build is for Tornado Shot, not LA

I took vaal pact at 67 and got my lion's eye glare. I only have a single node that has 0.4% life leech so im kind of confused as to where i'm supposed to get more leech? theres no way i can survive enough with only 0.4% and vaal pact.

Guy! I was in the exact same boat with the exact same .4% I took it around 60 I went back after an hour, that was not working out in the slightest.

I took the 2 0.4 nodes at the bottom of the tree near the 3rd frenzy charge. that seems to be enough for low maps for now however id pick up the rest of that node later

Hi all. I'm using build 1 skill 2. Ranger raider with la and barrage. I have a deaths opus 4link and bellu of the beast 5 link. Im having massive problems with bosses. Ive just setup for shaped mesa and strand and having huge problems.

Im thinking making the following changes.
1. Dropping gem for ele focus in the barrage setup. Probably lose slower proj.
2. Getting a vinktars with ele pen.
3. Getting more flat phys on jewellry
4. Going pathfinder (atziri, wise oak, vinktars, diamond)

Let me know what you think and what youve been trying for st.

Sorry but do anybody have a PoB link for this build?

Hi,

thanks for the build. I'm lvl 80 now and built your Tornado-Ranger. I didn't play for 1 year and started again a few days ago. I was shocked how quick I die (lvl 60 monster 1-2 hits). I only have 2k HP but decent equipment....

Same here, I die like shit on 1-2 hits to white mobs

Good to know, seems to be normal then :D
Need some more armor then...do u know how to link the gear?


Edit: Played against lvl40 enemies and died with 1 hit. Built seems to be unplayable

I gave up on this build, its really fun but its just soo squishy... I die like everytime on everything. Maybe its just not my playstyle.

Good luck!

Just finished act 10 and 2 maps to get zana to my ho. doing the Scion build.
went pretty smooth for the most part except for some of the new bosses and the harbingers got a lot tougher at the end…
Deaths: 17 – most from the 2 bosses that swipe the arm across the ledge. Tough ones. Otherwise I did pretty good on the others without knowing their patterns of attack…
Life: 2,773 – was just enough to get me through to the end. Atziri runs needs at least 4.2k.
Mana: 148/644 – no mana issues with the 4 nodes. Will scale back on nodes one by one and see how it goes.
TS DPS: 12.3k – switched over to Lioneye’s at 66 added about 3k dps (but dropped my crit rate down from 52% to 34%)

Running Hatred + Herald of Ice.

I have LS (19k dps) leveling up but haven’t actually used it much.

Do feel squishy at this point but now my resists are too low and I need to redo my gem setups. Run culling strike on both Siege Ballista and my minions. I like it a lot and it has taken out the boss a couple of times as I was running away…

So starting maps to do list: resist, resist, resists… life… get a rats nest helmet… keep an out for a 350 dps 8+ crit bow… all other items will be adjusted based on getting resists maxed…



Hope this helps anybody who might be running the build...
