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

Hey Guys,

I had a lot of fun with my ranger char. Unfortunately I really hit a will at level 89.
Progress is - of course - really slow, but for the content i need to clear in order to progress I am way (!!!) to rippy. I can't progess anymore. I know my gear isn't perfect, but I am very poor. I would be really really happy, if you could help me with some feedback on my char.

Thanks in advance! Greetings

Question. Why go Ricochet (+1 Chain) if you are going with high Pierce? Piercing shots can't chain.

Hey, i would prefer playing Puncture without trap, which Setup would be the best?
Puncture - PPA - Slower Projectiles - ? - ? - ?

Thanks!

You can get upgrades easily to almost every slot. For example search poe.trade for a belt with life, resists, physical damage and you can find one with 75% various resistances, 80 life, 20% physical damage for one chaos orb. Do the same for amulet and rings (search also +flat phys dam), search also boots and gloves.

Scion is still weak

So a bad choice then? The guide says "really good" for the Assassin/Raider variant so I am a bit confused?

Neversinks op is a bit outdated here and there.

his pathfinder for example is 6points, with master surgeon and vet bowyer.
Which, while vet bowyer is huge damage. The recommended end game, and possibly even leveling is Master alchemist. The elem DR, and elem status immunity is FAR FAR more powerful, these days, particularly end game maps/bosses.


His screenshots are outdated for Scion-Assassin/raider.
It shows Scion-Raider as, 25% chance to Avoid Elem status, 2% dodge, 10% chance to gain frenzy on kill, and you have phasing and onslaught while on full frenzy charges.
Current in game is, 25% chance to avoid elem status, 4% dodge, 10% chance to gain frenzy on kill, and you have onslaught while on full frenzy.

Scion-Assassin is the same. And still mostly pretty solid. good for farming. meh for bosses.
Scion deadeye. is decent. 30% pierce. 15% chance for attacks to bleed. solid 15%. this will work well with crit, and king of the hill knockback. 30% inc damage farshot.(MUCH weaker then 30% MORE damage from actual deadeye..) +1 projectile. VERY good. esp barrage/TS.
Scion-slayer. culling strike. 30% inc damage vs rare/unique. 10% of overkill damage is leeched as life.. your damaging hits stun enemies on full life.

scion-elementalist or inquisitor both solid if you go elemental heavy.

Scion also requires a whole different passive tree given the starting point.

I'm playing a tornadoshot deadeye ranger as my first char in poe and this guide helped me a lot.
I saved some currency to buy a harbinger (350 pdps is what I think I can afford). Today I read something about reach of the council. Would it be better to save some more and get this bow instead of a harbinger?

Pro harbinger: Some more pdps and crit.
Pro council: Swap GMP for something nice and get the additional arrows for free without damage penalty.

I'm really confused what's best and worried about spending all my currency based on a wrong decision because I'm a noob. :D

Maybe somebody can help me with this.

Also interested in this. I can't find a good single target setup that is better than TS...

Really confused on what to use for Atziri, I went to her for the first time yesterday and had to swap out TS for something else, so I tried Caustic Arrow as the 4 images just stand still. It dealt hardly any damage to them, and then the adds would repeatedly get to her to heal during that phase. I would literally one shot myself if I tried to use TS at all, even hitting something super far away.

I'm also struggling in general with how to progress at level 92. I feel like I randomly die to something every 5-10 maps which means I'm never gaining any experience. I can run a t14 map and get 3 t13-14 maps and go 'wow, I just got 30-40C for one one. But I didn't get 30-40C, because I have to use these to actually try to level, but I'm not leveling, so what am I spending 30-40C on?'

Should I just only run T8-T12s and sell anything above that while saving for better gear? Will gear not matter at this point because dying to stuff like reflect / lag / standing in void zones / etc. will still kill me?

Am I supposed to be running Atziri / Uber Lab once a day? Am I supposed to be joining 6 man gorge runs continuously and hoping I don't get 1 shot from the super buffed up mobs?

Here's my latest gear:



Thanks

well, your life is almost certainly too low.
none on rats nest, none on maligaros. very low on rings.
what are you 4000-4200?


Without checking I am not sure if you are running chain or extra proj, or pathfinder.
If chain, Atziri is going to be deadly to you in split phase yes.
If not chain, then you can swap to Barrage, you will be able to target barrage much better and avoid the mirror. Should be easy enough. In general some more life, be sure to take a ruby flask and run it for the flameblasts.
TS alternative if you are running chain.. idk. blastrain I guess? Ranged attack totem, to let it dps and suicide, while you run around avoiding aoe ground damage.
Quicklooking at Neversinks op. he has a vid of LA/Blastrain. LA aoe, blast rain bosses. so yeah, probably take blastrain for atziri.

So swap in Blast rain for Atziri. and so weapon swap to a bow with TS, for heal phase trash clear.. Doesn't need to be as strong as your primary dps bow.

Uberlab is an excellent source of maps.

These are my talents:

I'm at 4476 life right now

I've never gotten good maps from Uber Lab, maybe some t1-5, but I'm way beyond those now. I can't even sell them for a chisel ..

Edit: And trying to find an upgrade for my right ring seems impossible. Just finding one with the same resistances + 60 life is basically 1E+, and to find anything that would even start to make up for my dps loss is like 5E+. And my current ring isn't even good. That 14 life roll completely screws me. Unless I degrade from my helm or gloves, I don't really have any life upgrades left. I don't think I'll ever be able to get more, because the best in slot items still wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy down the line like Headhunter and a better bow don't offer any additional life. Every death of mine seems to be some combination of stuff I can't prepare for (because I'm just mindlessly spamming TS into 40 mobs and all of a sudden I die because a yellow one had reflect with his pack, or it's -60% flask map and I get hit with bleed from a random beyond mob, or whatever) which defeats the purpose of leveling at this point. But without going into the top tier maps, I can't get any better divination cards or map drops
