The two things you can do to prevent deaths are to lean more heavily on defense or lean extra heavily into damage.

Only 1 of your jewels has life on it, and that's a good place to start for survivability. If one-shots are a problem, a life flask isn't doing much for you, and I'd consider swapping it out for a defensive flask. You're right next to quite a few life nodes on the tree, and you could either respec into a few of them, or just map at a slightly lower level for a few levels and allocate some more life.

I would love to go the DPS route for both tackling higher tier maps and bosses. Right now bosses are kinda hard at T12+ any tips to kind of be able to kill them?

Hi,

first of all - thanks for the amazing work that made me try out the Tornado Shot as my first build that i played into endgame.

I'm currently assembling the gear that you put into the PoB Profile for the Speed Variant ( https://pastebin.com/PFqK1zTd )and am switching over to Tornado Shot from the leveling build.

But it seems that i overleveled my blue gems (Curse on hit, Assassin's Mark) because i do not have enough int to make them work.

When i look into the PoB i realized that those builds are not getting to the required int for the level of the mentioned gems aswell(lvl 20 curse on hit requires 111 int but the build with max int (inspired learning) only has 107).

What am i overlooking here? And are there effective ways of getting more int or should i just stick to the gem levels that i can support with my current gear?

Second Question is about Mana: When i activate Grace and Herald of Ice it leaves me with only 23% of my Mana (111) atm, so i can do two Tornado Shots with my mana pool. Is it supposed to be this way and will i be getting enough mana through leech when i complete the claw nodes with lioneyes fall?

Thanks!

Thanks for clarification.

What amulet anointment would you recommend for this build?

There are a few good options. If Blight becomes a mechanic that stays around I'll add an anointing section.

Whispers of Doom is one of the best options for the additional curse. Skittering Runes could be an option as well.

Throatseeker is a great option for crit.

Freedom of Movement is good for move speed and phasing and defense.

Heart of Thunder is niche but pretty cool.

Hi again! I wanted to maximize my HH and am going to use the items you suggested in the guide. I was just wondering how you set up your curses? Since Temp chains reserves no mana with Vigil, we're suppose to link it with Blasphemy correct? Since were doing that, we would have to take of Ass. mark. Is this how you guys would do it or am I missing something?
-Thanks <3

Minor update for me, I underestimated how fun even 1 Inspired Learning jewel is with no Headhunter! I don't even know how to measure if it's any stronger than a damage jewel, but it makes running endless Burial Chambers more exciting.

2af7ih: Flat damage is probably better than multi, and almost certainly better than crit chance. I like to let the market decide if it's close. For example, I would do a "Sum" search on trade site for all the highest priority mods I was interested in and buy the highest sorted option in my budget.

Sum of [
Added Lightning to Attacks
Added Lightning to Bow Attacks
Added Cold to Attacks
Added Cold to Bow Attacks
Crit Multi
Maximum Life
Movement Speed
]

If something sorts to near the top on this combined sum AND has another mod you didn't specify that is not useless, grab that one! Added Fire, Added Chaos, Crit Chance, Attributes, Resistance, etc might not be worth putting in the search but could be great "for free" relative to their price.

Including life means you will probably get a life jewel though, because of the difference in numeric scale, not sure how to fix (if you want life but don't want to weight it quite so highly relative to damage)
