Nerf Tornado Shot

Tornado shot is indeed pretty ridiculous.

But it had to. All new skills are better than old ones. And that trend is to continue unabated.

Keep Tornado Shot as it is, buff all other skills.

Mistake.

I wanted the new Herald of Ash gem but wasn't prepared to pay the ridiculous 10C people asked for it so I decided to lvl my ranger. Tried various bow skills during the process and all felt kinda cumbersome and lacklustre to use - until I got tornado shot which does everything you need in one neat package and totally owns shit up, especially coupled with HoA, and I never looked back.

I'd disagree that TS is OP compared to Reave and Cyclone though, those are pretty badass in their own right. But other bow skills might need to be brought in line with it.

Patch 1.3.1
-All active gems have been buffed by 20%
-Monster life pool has been increased by 20%

You don't know what OP is.

Incinerate shotguns.

I find split arrow generally better and far easier to use, it just sucks against reflect compared to tornado shot, also does worse against single target I guess but you usually have an alternate single target anyways.

Precisely, if you go evasion route you'll have two 5-links.

Thanks for the tip OP, found an awesome (I think) bow the other day and have been looking for a use for it :-) and have a ranger that I haven't respecced yet.
