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

I skimmed over 20 pages. No one made a voltaxic variation? Thoughts/ideas? It would be crit build with la or ts or split undecided still

I think Neversink tried to add a Life-based Windripper variation (which is not so much different on the Tree) in 1.3, but apparently didn't have time for it.

Voltaxic would need a whole different tree though, so not sure if that would fit in here.

hi, man!
i've read your post for many many times and the bd is quite good
but can you just change the gems in your gloves?
i set up the cwdt according to your setup, but soon i found that enduring cry no longer works
i used around 2000 chroms to get a 4 red maligaro, which is really frustrating and dizzy
and now i need to change it into 3 red and 1 blue (for enfeeble as others suggest)
i chose this bd because its beginner friendly and i began this game after 2.0
not enough experience and not much currency
this is a great loss for me
i hope there will be no one following my fault
so can you change the picture?

So we've got to the point of end-game content:)
I saw a few replies regarding uniques in this thread, but I'm still not sure what I should use instead of Rat's Nest and Maligaro's. Right now my ranger got her 90th level and my TS DPS tooltip is around 23k (40k with charges) though my HP is still comparably low ~4,3k.
I understand the main thing about my DPS is to change the bow, so i'm crafting my 6L ilvl 83 harbinger right now. New sexy quiver will also give a huge damage boost, but since i'm equipped mostly with uniques i cant change mine.
So should i just throw away Maligaro's and get +life +res rare gloves? Or to drop rat's nest for a rare helmet? What mods should i look for to get this BiS rare gear?

My current gear:

You should use rares instead of Rat's Best and Maligaro. With 80-100 life, resists and other useful stats (int, accuracy, leech, etc. Then, you can replace your shitty quiver and amulet (good quiver and amulet ALWAYS must have critical miltiplier, and critical chance is highly welcomed). You can also replace your rings with ring that have 60-80 HP, or even more. Only your belt is OK.

Just linking my gear as example:


As you see, EVERY item there has high life roll. Quiver and amulet have also crit multiplier and crit chance, and quiver has +1 arrow too!

Additional info:
T1 life roll for Rings is 70-79
T1 life roll for Amulets & Gloves is 80-89
T1 life roll for Helms & Belts is 90-99

You can get extra life from strength roll, +2 str = +1 maximum life.

That will be quite a different build, man.

Neversink's build is actually a PHYSICAL archer, because its DPS is derived from base physical damage (on bow, primarily).
Voltaxis and Windripper are Elemental archers, because their DPS is derived from base elemental damage, that is gained not just with bow, but also with auras/heralds and various items. For elemental Archers, APS, critical chance and various "unique" bow properties are MORE important than its DPS, that's why Windripper is T1 DPS elemental bow. Voltaxis isnt the best DPS-wise, but it's very safe to play with.

I use LA with my physical bow build, to clear maps with physical reflect. I use mana leech gem to easily sustain mana (just cant swap my jewels because they provide resists), PtL gem for 100% conversion, and rely upon my high life regeneration only (no leech).
If you want use purely LA, you can do it too, but you'll have to optimize your build accordingly.

What should be my next upgrade? I know that I need to get upgrades on life and am currently trying to 6-link some armor that would be an upgrade, but was wondering about priority. Also, saving for upgrade on bow, but that obviously is not coming cheap.

Any help appreciated in advance. Also, don't worry about gems right now....just trying some different things.

You should use Chain instead of Faster Projectiles. Or, at least, Slower Projectiles.
BTW, use Slower Projectiles instead of Added Fire Damage.

Even with chain, my clearing speed with tornado is 50% faster than with split.
I will use Tornado. I'm using Added Fire Damage cause of my gems. I have no Currency to change them atm.

In the future I want to change Added Fire Damage to Physical to Lighting, cause it's awesome vs reflects.

Btw, what should I update in my gear? (I'm trying to craft my own Harbinger)


Thanks for help guys, you are awesome!
And really, thanks to creator of this tutorial, it's really awesome! Good job mate, hope you will create something soon.

well, remove that IAS craft on the bow and add local crit chance. Then try to sort out resists from gloves or head and get either maligaro's gloves or rat's nest. It's worth sorting out resists even in passive tree.

then you really should use diamond rings. Two of those is + up to 60% global crit chance, which is a lot. Then you try and manage a better bow, then elemental damage on quiver and belt, then added phys dmg rolls on diamond rings etc.
But for starters, a bow with 9+ local crit chance and 1.3 aps is better than bow with 1.7 aps and ~6 local crit chance. Every crit chance % node frm tree scales off of that local crit chance from bow, and this ranger build get's damage from criting and multiplying that that crit damage.

edit: looking at your gloves: yes, that leech is nice but you need better gloves and you need to forget about that leech on gloves, for now. There are good gloves with 400+ EV, life, resists and IAS or leech but they are expensive. At this point, you should just Maligaro's virtuosity gloves.

You can also look into some amulets with crit damage multiplier or crit chance or both.

but like I said, first change a bow a bit, add that ~30ish crit chance instead of ias, then look into getting diamond rings for both slots and get those unique gloves, non-legacy ones are cheap. Also, be smart about the rings, look at your passive tree first, look where and how much resists you can get and when can you do it etc.
