Been playing around with

Tornado shot > Curse on hit > High Q Assassins mark> Faster attack > Crit dmg > GMP

I think this is actually better than phys proj and pierce. The crits are always there and you can get max charges easily.

We've been discussing this on and off for a couple of pages and it's a very solid 6L for anyone who doesn't have a Drillneck. Also, you might consider trying PPAD in the place of Faster Attacks. ~.2 APS isn't massive and you already save time not having to curse, but PPAD is the single biggest damage boost to ranged attacks and your overall clear speed might increase with it.

Lightning coil helps, but I don't think it helps too much. I've updated the guide with some advice with how to deal with reflect, maybe those pointers might help.

And using assasin's mark instead of power charge on critical on tornado shot, I was thinking the cast time to be too much of a hassle to keep up with every pack of trash mobs.

A few more levels and I'll try normal Atziri for the first time ever.

That a solid option too, but I don't usually bother with cursing normal trash anyway (depends on the mood, yes not a very solid answer, I know), against bosses the more-damage multiplier is very welcome though,

Good luck with Atziri, I believe in you :P

succeeded on 4 of my 5 sets, failed my second set because of lag.

I've been thinking a lot about LC vs a rare evasion chest or another unique.
You want LC to diminish the occasional heavy physical damage you do take through your evasion and dodge.
This is either reflect or mobs. (Darned Evangelists :P) So far I haven't found anything that one-shotted me while playing, also a jade flask of reflexes helps a lot (5,5k evasion shoots up to 17.3k).
So while lightning coil is really good, and rare armour+eva boots can easily have 4R for CwdT. It seems more profitable to go another chestpiece in the long run on a NON-HARDCORE leagues. The rare spike in physical damage taken just something you'd have to deal with.

But reflect, reflect is not fun. Atziri's steps don't really help against it either. That's when I thought of

.

I'm going to save up to 6L it and see if that helps against reflect as good as I think it does.
It doesn't have 2000+ evasion or 120%+ total res but I'm hoping the 100 life on kill helps dampen the blow on the occasional reflect pack. Being able to wear atziri's steps also helps overall mapping since magic damage is not uncommon.

Uber atziri is a whole different matter though, I don't have any thought on that yet but most likely I'd just have to avoid everything. I doubt I'd try her this league.

I know how the actual crafting process works, the question is what is more cost effective. If I am unlucky I have to blow 2k+ alts into the bow plus I have to spend ~3 exa for master crafting.
