Hello,
Thanks for the build. I am level 89 and it rocks !
2 questions:
1) I was trying to read all the posts from the beginning, problem is some are valid for 1.3 only... when does the posts related to 2.0 start more or less ?

2) I crafted this bow. It seems that if I add the cannot roll attack mods, I should get the +1 gem socket
Is it worth doing that to get +3 gem level on this bow, then add some physical damage on it ?

Or should I directly sell it as it is ?

Thanks !

2.0 posts start on July 10th.

I think the bow's aa brick. For the builds in this thread +3 to gems is much less useful than +DPS. People playing a build that does want +3 will also want a faster base like a Thicket Bow.

thanks for sharing your experience!
I will level my TS ranger now. around lvl 40 right now, so shouldnt take too long.

i dont have more than 30c right now, so 2-3 ex sounds alot to me. but i'll slowly get there i guess.

thanks mate!

You can use cheaper gear, but i still highly recommend 5-link Daresso for 1 exa. You can get rest gear for few chaos per piece and then upgrade it. Just focus on the most needed stats (HP, resists, crit multiplier from amulet and quiver, some int (to use gems), and i bit of accuracy (1 decent roll). You can use "Spirit Void" cluster, until you get 0.3+ mana leech on gear and 2+ mana per hit from jewel.

What is point of reduced mana if it doesn't work with Hatred or heralds?
And also, dps of tornado shot is much lower (about 2 times), than ice shot or else. I'm 49 lvl, so perhaps it will show it's potential later?

It has been changed recently, reduced mana doesn't work with auras anymore. If you want to less mana reserved from auras, you need to get skillpoints in the clusters in the passive tree. Another option is Englighten gem, it still works with auras.

About Tornado/Ice shot dps, it depends or your gem setup. I am personally using ice shot but I think Tornado shot has more pack clearing in itself, If you wanna decently clear packs with Ice shot, you have to link it with GMP or Chain (preferably both - then it gets insane). Plus with Tornado shot you can later on add Physical to Lightning gem which I think adds tremendous amount of DPS and it can also shock enemies. But both of them are endgame viable IMHO. It just ends up in the matter of preference which one you like more.

Hey guys,

First of all, big thumbs up for NeverSink, i am loving this build so far.

Now considering that i do not have that much time to play (at least not during the week - more in weekends..but meh) i do not have that much time to search for some optimizations. So i am asking, after the 2.0 patch, for this build:
1.What auras/heralds are the best to run now?
2.What gems should i pair blood rage with?
3.Is the immortal call setup still viable?
4.What is the support gems priority order for tornado shot and puncture (that is because we do not always have the amount of links which we desire)?

1. From the start you should run Herald of Ice and Herald of Ash, it will boost your dps quite nice while still leaving half of your manapool. Later on it's better to switch to Herald of Ice and Hatred imho, or you can run Herald of Ash/Ice/Thunder and link some curses on them for example. If you have Enlighten or if you put some points into aura cluster, you can run Herald of Ash, Hatred and some other herald or other defensive aura (arctic amour for example).
2. I personally use only Blood rage - Increased duration and it's sufficient enough for me. Some people use it with Cast when dmg taken to avoid manual casting, setup is usually CWDT-IC-ID-BR (or you can have blood rage before IC, depends on your links coloring).
3. Yes it is, you should use it if you are running this build, it will save your life a lot. Especially if you buy Daresso's defiance and you don't have to manually cast enduring cry, it is very strong.
4. Gem priority is written in the first page of the build, the priority is given to the gems in the order they are written.

I'm running this build with great success in warbands, but I was wondering what my next step should be to improving my gear/build. I'm currently using the following:


While I don't have a ton of currency available to me right now, I would like to create the best setup for Atziri farming. Is Daresso's 5L the way to go? or Atziri's step? Resists are 84/71/83/-60 and 3500hp, lvl 78. Thanks!

Edit: I don't really use the golem or frenzy, so a CWDT setup is definitely in the works

3,5K HP is very low I think, you are gonna get melted straight away by some high dps bosses. As someone mentioned earlier, evasion character benefits the most from high HP pool. You should start first by upgrading your chest, I think it's your weakest piece of gear. You can get rare high eva/high life (at least 85-90)/triple resist leather but I would personally go for Daresso if you are using CWDT-IC. I just got it recently for 1,5 exalt with almost max HP roll and max inc amour/evasion roll, so it's not that terrible. The next step is your quiver I think, it is very defensive, it's great to have high life and maybe one resist on the quiver but the thing you want to have on it is another crit chance mod and more importantly, crit multiplier. If you can't cap the resist when you switch to Daresso and more offensive quiver, you should consider switching either boots/gloves from unique to rares, with high HP and double/triple resists. Then after you get enough currency to buy expensive jewelerry that will ensure you resist cap, you can switch back to uniques. As for boots, I am using Atziri's step because I want the higher HP pool and I'm not using frenzy skill, just blood rage but blood dance works good too. Also, Doryani's invitation is overall great belt, but again, it doesn't give you any HP. So if you get enough resist elsewhere, you should consider switching to maybe rare rustic sash with double/triple resists and at least 80 HP.

//e: If you don't use frenzy (at least use blood rage, it's great), then switch both of your boots and gloves. Go for Daresso, it's really good with IC.

The point is to reduce mana costs of skills. However, with current number and game meta, Reduced Mana is just a USELESS support gem.

Tornado Shot has lower paper DPS with same support (but not 2 times, more like 1.5 times) than Ice Shot, but that doesnt mean it's weaker. Ice Shot requires but just GMP, but also Chain support to be truly effective vs packs, but then it does no harm to single target.
Tornado Shot is still the best "jack of all trades" skill.

Guys have a look at my inventory and skill tree below, let me know how can I improve my damage. Your suggestions are appreciated. I have a lvl 78 Ranger
