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

Yes, you're forced to regal at this point, and hope for a high phys or hybrid roll. With Tora increased phys damage only you are capped to 265 dps with base attack speed, which isn't enough.

@DSJkaa: a 6th socket is 25 to 35% more dps, usually, so yes it matters. But you shouldn't compromise your survivability for it, 40 kps is still enough to nearly anything in the game. You can just take your time and eventually 6l your bow, it's good enough to be worth it.

As for your jewelry, you're having problem because you have so many resist-less uniques. I tend to use one/two of them at most. This way I have much more room to move objects around. Your Broom Charm amulet is excellent, You should really find a way to use it.

Also, try to upgrade to rare rustic sash asap, to get much more life. You can find rustic with 90+ life and two res for 30-40c, then craft the last res. Chaos are easy to find, which is not the case for exalts :s.

@cst003: yes, you need to up your res badly. You need at least 60% lightning res to go say hello to Piety confidently. Also your damage is abnormally low. Chaos res doesn't matter for now; I have leveled to 95 with at most -50 chaos res.
Upgrade most pieces of gear for some with life and two res above 30 and you should be fine for a while (like up to T6-T7 maps). This is to be done with boots, helmet, gloves, chest, sapphire ring.
Craft some flat physical damage on your diamon ring. If you have one or two bless orbs, you can also bless. It's good enough to do it.
For the bow, get your hands on a lioneye's glare, it's *very* effective for the price.
Also do you really need ice shot and split arrow? You should just use one and use the slots for utility/defense.

@t0nsofdamage: most quivers with high crit chance and multi will outperform drillneck. Ex:

and probably these too:

As for Atziri, there's no real gear check here. It's more about knowing the mechanics. The trio before her can be surprising, with the very powerfull dot. For Atziri herself, 15-20k and 3.5-4k life with capped res if you're good at manual dodging.
(someone did her with 1hp, with a CI/EB build)

We maintain only two.
