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

Hello chaos orbs hunters!!
Iv spent some time reading more then 100 pages of this amazing thread (yes that much lol).. some people ask prety nice questions and props for the answers.

After gathering some info i got a few questions:

Keep in mind hardcore tornado shot is my thing.

Power charges vs freenzy- which one i will benefit the most?

Full evasion with acro vs full evasion iron reflexes? And why?

Is the magic finding windripper build still viable? If so can someone give me some guidelines on what changes I should make to the standard TS skill tree? Thanks

So I just got this...



Any thoughts no how to best utilise this in my build? I really want to use this once I get the currency to get a 5L and a divine orb.

Here's my current gear.



I also have a Drillneck available.



Been running T7-9 maps with a friend, should I be looking to move away from Tornado shot?

Here's my current build, I likely have too many uniques, hence the res nodes.

I'm back after quite a long hiatus so any help would be appreciated!

I've been doing up to T12/Atziri with this build (changed it a little) as Deadeye TS/Frenzy last round.
So you can easily go higher than T9 with it.

Take out GMP, use something else (like Pierce) instead.
That bow already provides GMP with no downsides.

It's not that you have too many uniques, some of your rares (Amulet/Quiver) have no resistances, when they could/should have some.

Hi guys,

got a question regarding an update to my hardbinger.

Currently got a 294pdps / 9.05cc 5L hardbinger.

I'm playing standard and I'm looking to buy a stronger one.

What minimal pdps should I look to have a good improvment to mine ?

For example there is one at 3 ex with 324pdps 8.75cc. Does it worth it or it's better to try to get a 350+ one ?

thanks !

Hi, my hero died of " Reflect physical damage " and " Reflect elemental damage ." How to deal with this problem?

The OP has some good information on reflect. You should read that.

I just did an elemental reflect map by switching out the PTL and WED gems for ICH and LifeGainOnHit. That seemed to work pretty well. Perhaps some other gem combination swap in might be better though?

Hi i just wanted to know why u didnt take projectile speed, and the poison gem on the tornado shot gem links

Hi.

Could anyone give me any tips on Ascendancy. I'e not yet ran any labs. I want to go Path Finder ultimately and am planning to keep going with this toon to 90 +, maybe even high 90's hopefully. Is there any great benefit of going deadeye until i hit 90 or can i just go pathfinder straight away? which i'd like to do, but don't want to nurf myself too much and fear i may be if i choose to go pathfinder from the off. I'm pretty new to this game, it baffles me, but in a good way :-)

thanks for any pointers,

hi Saranghaeyo

Would you have any idea of the DPS increase? i mean. My play-style is map running and wanting to clear them as quickly as possible i suppose so i'd have thought DPS would be the most valuable for this. I had the impression that with the correct gear and flask setup that pathfinder, once using the flask buffs, would be high enough DPS to be able to complete the higher maps. Theorycrafting for me in this game is... complicated i've moved form Diablo which is much, much easier to work out :-D am loving POE though.

My 2 cents about Pathfinder for physical bow builds:


For mapping Pathfinder is superior to Deadeye. The flask efficiency + Nature's Adrenaline + Quicksilver flask boosts your movement speed (an extra 29%), while permanent flask uptime adds a lot of damage and improve your defenses.

I would recommend starting out with Atziri's Promise / Basalt / Diamond / Quicksilver / Instant Life, eventually replacing the Basalt with a Taste of Hate. Switching out Quicksilver for tough fights (e.g., Basalt for Izaro). The single life flask is plenty with pathfinder's minor nodes, healing for 1761 each use. I did use a secondary life flask for the end game trials though! I also tried Vinktar's, but could not figure out how to make it work. It is hard to determine how much DPS the shock effect adds, plus it is really hard to sustain. --- I felt that it is probably only viable for Blade Vortex.

As for ascendancy points, I would recommend Master Surgeon, Veteran Bowyer and finally Nature's Boon.

Taste of Hate with boosted flask efficiency and Nature's Boon help with both kinds of reflect as well. I can easily run double reflect maps (with vaal pact; worth it!).

However, one may also argue that puncture trap would synergize well with Master Herbalist, possibly eliminating one of the only drawbacks I noticed so far on my Tornado Shot/Frenzy Pathfinder: The strong commitment to elemental damage. On my Deadeye, I always had the double dipping poison puncture trap to resort to (benefiting nicely from all the projectile damage nodes) --- so far this only came up once when I accidentally killed the chicken in village ruin before damaging the dog, which promptly became almost immune to elemental damage (in combination with existing map mods).

I also picked up Primal Spirit because it adds strength, intelligence and further boosts flask charge recovery --- but may eventually spec out of it. Not sure yet.

For reference, Taste of Hate, Atziri's Promise and Nature's Adrenaline contribute a 65% increase in tornado shot tooltip damage for me on a 5link (TS - Inc Crit Strikes - PTL - WED - PPA, using Reach of the Council). Diamond Flask does not show on the tooltip, but my estimate is another 30% increase in overall damage (using 60% base crit chance, 300% crit multiplier, which you can achieve easily on a budget). Taste of Hate and Basalt each provide an additional 4% physical damage mitigation.
