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

Hey guys, looking for some advice. Currently level 80 and dying quite a bit. Any suggestions on what to link in the gloves? The amulet is bad but I need it for the stats...

I finally managed to beat Uber lab today (got oneshot by Izaro on last phase twice a few days ago, that damn Wind Slash, which was very discouraging). And holy crap I'm blown away by the single target damage boost that Rupture provides - it basically doubled (or more) my DPS against bosses. Killed the three Courtyard bosses in about 3 seconds when I struggled with them before because they hit pretty hard.

hi, I'm thinking to buy a 5L harbinger as a start at lv 68. I have 2 choices, one with phys dmg 2 ele dmg and with 2 resists , another phys dmg with ele dmg. I'm thinking of mastercrafting with either bow but cannot decide if % physical dmg or crit chance is better.

Please advice.

Why WED over Added Fire Dmg? AFD Boosts dps a lot more!

WED boosts dps more if you are doing 100% elemental damage. My dps in hideout without those gems or any boosts is 25k. If I put Added Fire Damage (level 19, 0% quality), it goes to 32k. If I put WED (level 20, 12% quality) instead, it goes to 41k.

I do 50% lightning damage, 50% fire damage. Some scraps of cold damage.

Don't bother with a Harbinger at this point. Buy a Lioneye's Glare for 1 chaos - to get a Harbinger with equivalent DPS you'll need to shelf out at least 15C and it will not be good enough to do the highest content anyway so you'll replace either down the line.
I'm currently saving up for Reach of the Council which costs a whopping 4 ex in Essence.


Concerning WED vs Added Fire Damage: this depends on how much conversion you have, but you don't need a lot of it for WED to become better. As soon as you have Physical to Lightning, WED will outdamage AFD, and the gap will only increase with every source of elemental damage you have (The Signal Fire quiver, Hatred aura, Herald of Flame aura...). This is mostly due to the fact that WED is a "more" multiplier that affects all of that damage while AFD only adds based on your physical damage, which tends to be about 20% of your total damage at most.

Hey

you made a little mistake in your guide at BLAST RAIN. You wrote CONC in green, but it's a blue support gem. As a new player I made a mistake in buying an item. Of course i should have checked before.

But anyway Thanks you for this guide, it has been a great pleasure for me to try it and i learned a lot.

So what about windripper tornado? The tree in 1st post is too old.

The entire guide is old. I used it as a reference for starting out without any knowledge about bow builds but having tried out quite a lot over the last few weeks I've found that a lot of the stuff he recommends just doesn't work too well anymore. It's a very good starting point but don't follow it to the letter, try stuff out and find what worsk for you - he even says it multiple times in the guide.

Faster Attacks or Slow Projectiles?

Also explain your reasoning please.

TYVM.
