[3.0] NeverSink's ♣ INDEPTH Tornado&Archer Guide ♣ Beginner friendly ♣ Rapid clear ♣ All bosses
|
The ascendencies were made pretty clear but I still have some questions. Deadeye is recommended but does raider have any advantages over Deadeye using tordano shot? Late game when I start mapping, which is more beneficial to have, the Deadeye chain or the Raider onslaught and phase run?

I'm using the cruel enchantment "Edict of Fury" on my gloves, see damage pictures below. Default attack as reference.
They are quite dangerous on phys reflect maps with my Lioneyes Bow, since 100% pierce and crits in a huge group ... And I can't really control the phys damage output of this skill. Aura Hatred and HoA, nothing else in screenshots. +1 chain is not part of the skill, but from my Ricochet deadeye Ranger class. Does a wonderful job with the secondary projectils from Tornado and my Frenzy+gmp+coh+curse.

Hello , new player here and first off i would like to thank you NeverSink for the awesome guide and also thank you for the lootfilter that is just amazing.
Now i would like to start with several questions i have tho some of them may be stupid but i don't wanna spend this few C-orbs i have. I have chosen the tornado shot variation but this might change based on response i get here. Chest piece: have a solid one with dual ress,life,evasion and 3g,1r,1b socket all linked and 1b free socket.Here i can place 5 gems linked together.(TS-GMP-PPAD-PTL-WED) Weapon: Chosen to go with the Lioneye's Glare and at the start will stay away from reflect maps. Can pick a 4 link easy but dunno what colors. Gloves: When it comes to gloves i am very much intrigued with Snakebite and frenzy charges. With this i understand in you guide to go with Frenzy(not that good with TS), blood Rage(thinking about that but dunno how or with what to link it), The Blood Dance(great option but need to watch my res and life). Boots: will use CWDT+IC+Vaal Haste+Free socket and bcs of this i would rather not pick The Blood Dance bcs of color sockets. The rest i understand and will get Rat's Nest when i get enough currency for it. To sum all this ,i am asking if someone could help how and what to link in what piece of gear. I could go LA 5 gem setup in chest and go for a 4gem setup of frenzy in weapon but i kinda like TS ;) PS: Thanks to all who will read this i know this is a bunch of q that are explained in the guide but as a new player i am so overwhelmed with all the stuff poe has to offer that my head got bigger just by reading all the guide for different aspects of the game. |

" I think Tornado Shot is the easiest to learn, and the most powerful with weaker gear. Lightning Arrow can be phenominally powerful AoE though. Tornado shot is a great blend of AoE and ST, so it works well when leveling and learning. " Sounds like the right idea. You could also go with LMP to bridge the gap between STD and AoE " Will depend on whether you want to have a secondary attack, or more utility. " They are decent, but I think you'd be better suited to using a good rare with life and resists. You need to be able to support the Frenzy charges required, and attack speed and accuracy aren't usually a major concern with this build. (Accuracy will be no concern while you are using Lioneye's) The only thing that really links with Blood Rage is increased duration. The main thing is to make sure you have enough regen/leech to keep the life drain effect controlled. " Sounds like you have the right idea already. The TS links you have look good. The CWDT boots look fine. (I would try to attach a Golem to the last slot). You just need to decide what to run outside the Auras and CWDT slots. Either a utility skill (Blink Arrow is really nice for quality of life) or a pure ST skill. I would personally go with TS as your ST and AoE to start if you're only going to have a 4-link weapon. TS is plenty viable for both while you improve your gear and level up. |

" Thank you so much ye looks like i have to decide, the ice golem is my fist option for that 4th slot. Will know more depending on what gear i manage to get over the next few days. |

I'm at level 66, trying to finish the Cruel Labyrinth. The labyrinth itself isn't a problem, but the Boss can one shot me. Sometimes CODT + Immortal Call saves me, sometimes don't, but even the ones i Survive, he easily can kill me with a new quick hit.
Stats in the city: I've maxed resists (but chaos), 3900 evasion. DPS: 4700 Crit chance: 24% Crit mult: 300% max 6 frenzy charges (+50% duration) Life: 2095 Mana 670 Gens: Using a lioneye's glare -> Frenzy - Faster Attacks - Slower Projectiles, Herald of Ice Head -> Blast Rain - Conc Effect - PPAD - Added fire damage Body -> TS - GMP - PPAD - Phis to Lightning - Weapon Ele Damage Boot -> CODT - Immortal Call - Increase Duration - Ice Golen Gloves -> Enduring Cry - Blood Rage, Hatred - Blink Arrow Can Anyone give me suggestions what to do to improve my survivability? ty no more purchases or recommendations til the trade system is fixed.

Thanks to NeverSink for this awesome in depth guide! I got a question. I'm following this guide for a Lighting Arrow build in the Perandus SC league and I'm about to choose my Ascendancy class. I was thinking: what about going Raider - Way of the Poacher, Rapid Assault & Avatar of the Chase instead of going Quartz Infusion, Rapid Assault & Avatar of the Chase? Is the extra survivability really needed? With Way of the Poacher we should be able to generate frenzy charges faster and possibly without any other investment. Also, which perks should I choose first? Thanks in advance! |

" Id say practice. your list stats are better then mine, and I dropped him. Stand in the doorway. shoot(self buff). sidestep the leap. BA/run past him on earthquake or sweep attacks. attack him from behind . Basically just run back and forth between doorway and center of the room. avoid giant green teleport blob. only mortars really hit me. not even sure what kind of damage they do. I didnt have max resists, I have less evasion, (although phase acro, you didn't mention if you have.) I dont have immortalcall. had 2100-2200 life on cruel. I do run artic armor instead of a herald. so might be that? esp if the mortar is fire. Add some flasks into the mix? again, stibnite blind for his melee attacks. sulfur ground heal. good deal.

" Uuuum yea one obvious hint. Dodge the stuff he uses, thats about it for bow users - you are neither supposed nor capable of absorbing his hits. Use blink arrow wisely and you should down his fairly easily but it takes some practice to learn where and how to move I guess :-) P.S. also do not use mysterious darkshrines as those can give him up to 100% extra dmg as whatever evem, curse you etc etc... |
