The Mathil Tornado/Puncture Spec - Cheap Uber Atziri Viable

Nice post! I'm doing my own version of a TS build but I have a simple gem question. I see that you are using PCOC instead of faster attacks. Given I havent taken any power charges from tree, would this provide more dps overall? I know it will not be consistent dps like FA would provide but I have a high crit chance/chance to hit so I am curious if I should roll an extra blue instead of green slot on my bow. Thanks.

My gear thus far (crafted and linked my own bow:))

Will this bow do? I dont know anything about bows. this is my first Ranger spec ever.

Your bow has excellent raw damage, but with no crit damage bonus at all. That might not be that bad a thing if you got crit everywhere else, but t depends on your crit chance. If you can get your crit chance to 40% or more without any crit bonus on your bow, it might be okay. I myself prefer the constant crits as that is what keeps monsters stunned and my ranger safe.

Hey, I am a little new with rangers. I am making this build in Standard, does it make any difference?

And about the bows. Do you people buy those bows, craft them, or find them?

Doesn't matter what league you play,n my bow i bought in trade bow for mirrored amuleti belive the only bow better is the mirrored glyph mark

how good is it guys? anyone an idea?

Thanks alot for posting build!

A couple of questions:


1. So, what it the latest on the

TS + ICD + PCcC + GMP + PPAD + Added Fire Damage

or

TS + ICD + PCcC + GMP + PPAD + Pierce

or some other combination I forget is relevant in the "best" discussion?

Obviously can't easily swap between the two, due to socket colors.

There was a discussion on page 33 or so, but it felt unfinished/inconclusive to me.

2. Why getting +1 Power Charge wasn't considered? Or was it>

Anyone cares to chime in?

My personal opinion is that I have no trouble killing regular mobs as it is. And that for killing rares and uniques you would want to have as much extra raw damage as possible. Pierce only helps you crowd control better, but I find TS good enough without it. Hell, even mobs standing behind me die when I fire a TS off. The innate automatic pierce for the initial arrow means I can snipe rares and totems within a large pack with no issues, so it seems a waste to use up a gem slot when it doesn't kill bosses faster.
