Hey love the build but you and Ziggy have made nado shot stuff crazy expensive :D

I got my reach bow, but now the 1 and 2 nado arrow enchants are going to multi ex and the extra arrow drillneck is also around 7ex (SC prices).

Is there another skill that would work with the same setup besides nado?

Thanks for any help.

No , i'm afraid not, but you dont 100% need the enchants, they are just gonna give you alot more dps :D

I guess you just will have to save up :)

Thats what I figured, thanks Amigo. Do you have any idea how to get a LA build going with the reach bow? Would you go with your old ranger tree, or do you think assassin/poison would work better in 2.3

You would never go poison with LA :) it converts 50% of phys to lightning which effectively cuts your poison dps in half. I could recommend checking out my friends LA build here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1682118

hey ! your stat screenshots are tiny i cant see shit captain xD

Honestly I don't think tornado shot can clear as fast and well as Lightning arrow does. Have you tried just to swap to an LA gem? conversion halfs the DOT I know but you shouldnt need much DOT versus normal mobs. And for bosses Frost wall is the real mvp.


Btw guys if you want to see a LA reach character, i wrote a guide here (much tankier than normal reach builds)

I know how LA plays, and once you get the +2 secondary projectiles enchant, i honestly feel it plays just as good

I'm new-ish to Path of Exile so forgive me if this is a dumb question but why focus on poison and shadow ascendancy when ranger's deadeye could give your tornado shot one more bonus projectile and a bonus chain. Or, and this is probably better, you could just get the chain and then pick up the bonus crit based on pierce and the huge crit bonus vs bleeding targets to get a higher crit chance and crit damage.

Is it just that poison is better than the extra chained attack or the extra projectile or is it more to do with starting locations and skills?

It's because of the ascendancies. As an assassin we can get "Deadly infusion" which greatly helps us with our crit chance, since our bow itself only has 6% base crit chance. The poison node that gives 100% more poison damage on critical strikes is also just way too good ;)

Hey, I was wondering what the point of the CWDT Immortal Call setup is for.
Am I missing something? Or how are you gaining endurance charges

^dont need endurance charges; they just extend the duration which you can counter by using increased duration gem

Haven't tested it just yet myself but I was wondering why you wouldn't want to use herald of ash or hatred.

From what I can tell it's not converting physical damage, so there will be no loss to poison damage. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the mechanic of each aura but it seems like they are taking a % of your physical damage and adding it as additional elemental damage. Therefore the physical damage proc will still be the same.

Let me know what you think. I'll likely test this later.

Pure physical and poison is working just fine though.

Yes that's how they work, no need to test :)

I just don't use any heralds, since i don't have capped resists. Therefore i use purity of elements

What do you think about using Kaom's Heart?

honestly, you do so much damage, you dont need the offensive auras.. go with arctic armour, a blasphemy curse and run grace/determination for more defense

I've been following the guide for a few days since I've dropped Reach from pale court and everything is great. But my DPS is lower than anyone here. With 3 frenzy, 4 power charges, and blood rage it's about 21K.

With deadly infusion increase it significantly? I haven't done Uber Lab yet.
