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

My thanks skuadak :D would be great if I can see NeverSink's variant as well.

Hi, Can any one help me?

I have been leveling a ranger with this build. But my dps sucks I am not sure at what stage i can ditch the elron rings to over come mana issues.
But the differene in crit rate with change in ammulet and rings is from 23.4% to 25% crit chance global.

I have a base TS dps of 5K .... which i feel is very low.

here is my gear at level 70. This caps my resistances

Ideally i want to run a life leech on the sockets of my 6L armor and still have a reasonable dps.

I am following the skill tree listed in the guild
here is where i am at now.

how can i improve?
I do have this bow with me not sure if i should shift to this instead of my lion eyes.. This shows a lower tool tip dps. But the tooltip dps is what affects life leech .

I'm afraid that's not going to happen soon.

@Zinja: take that added chaos damage out, also Faster attacks may be too much, LG is fast enough on its own. If you don't wanna recolor sockets try TS-gmp-PtL-WED-L.Leech-Slower proj./Faster proj(F.P. in case you have mana issues). I guess your crit chance isn't rly high with LG so IncCD on its own isn't good idea. I'd try inc. strikes and inc.damage if changing colors is possible. So TS-Gmp-Inc.C.S.-Inc.C.Dmg-Sl./F. proj (again, depends on mana issues) and Life Leech.

Your Harbringer won't work nice without bit of accuracy.

hi, great build.

i have invested 3 points into spirit void but i noticed i could get more leech from essence sap. i have 3 refund points available should i restat or is there something I'm missing that makes spirit void better than essence sap ?

Faster proj provides only little increased damage. ICS is much more important, giving you more reliable crits.

As for faster attack, my feeling is I don't need much on a bow build, I prefer to hit hard and run. Also it increases mana cost quite sensibly if you want to sustain your shots. I use FA as my 6th link with SA/TS on my archer, and don't even use it with lightning arrow. On the other hand I value FA highly on my non crit builds ; it's on my 4L heavy strike and 5L sweep on my Darksrhine marauder.

I agree with that.
It's only a must for Frenzy/Whatever single target Skill for bosses.

I'd go for SA/Chain/PPAD/PTS/WED/Inc. Crits if you manage to get a 6l

For frenzy (4l or 5l should be enough) i would go Frenzy/FA/PPAD/PTS/Wed or something similar

This works pretty well for me. Not even joking.

Interesting way to gain power/frenzy charges with one skill ..

whats your main Attack ? Split Arrow or TS ?

That's the point excatly, it's 50/50 utility/single target :). I was afraid it require good and pricy gear but it appeared less stubborn than I thought and works on potatoe too.

For AoE (and often single too) is SA:

I had tons of luck and dropped 6l so I could add faster proj as well. I tried to make single hit's damage bigger without paying attention to toolpit in general (that's how there's no Faster attacks). It works well with physical setup I think.

I have my latest crash test at academy with quite awfull mods, plus I went in too full of myself, and then overcatious a bit, so it became fun in general really fast(also HD this time %)):

I think this map and boss is good to show strong sides of this particular SA.

So, Split Arrow but no Chain?
Wonder how the Killspeed is on bigger packs, guess you have to aim very well, or are you piercing?

I saw this comming ;p. Yes, nothing making SA more Aoeish than it already is.
I aim manualy, it takes no time to kill packs big and small(in my book at least). I must admit that no one belives me, tho. (btwm, I don't know if you know: you can adjust SA's angle with moving cursor closer to or futher away from char)

It looks like this (sorry for quality (360p), just check first few seconds, up to 1 minute, theres's everything: white packs, blue packs, reflect rare:click



I find it comfy like this. (Also I'm not even starting about how cutting physical damage in smaller portions spoils it).
