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

So question - I managed to get ahold of a pretty good stat signal fire, but instead of "Adds Fire Damage," it has "Grants Level 15 Projectile Weakness Skill"

I can't tell if that's better or worst to use? Would love some insight on that

The implicit doesn't really matter. The important part of Signal Fire is the conversion to fire damage (Blackgleam) and then the physical damage as extra 25-35% fire damage. That's an insane amount. It's a 2nd hatred basically.

The 4-8 flat fire damage is comparatively nothing. However, what you got instead is a level 15 curse, but you don't ever have the time to curse a monster, you're too busy spamming arrows. Which is why you use a CoH setup with Herald of Ice for your single curse that does more damage than projectile weakness: all you damage is elemental anyways. So in the end it's a very minor bad thing: you lose a minimally useful stat and got something useless instead. The exact value of the 25-35% stat is vastly more important, that's where the damage is.

No worries men just helping here.

Regarding signal fire: good u acquire it the +fire dmg implicit is just cherry on top and projectile weakness is good but elemental weakness is the curse i suggest as assasins mark is not as good before.

Curious about Vaal Pact node that is recommended in the leveling skill point images (I know the guide is being updated) yet in the 3.0 changes, NeverSink mentions no ES or Vaal Pact. So....don't spec for it in the skill tree?

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Hi, wasn't sure where to post this but considering it's related to the guide, might aswell.

So, after spending a lot, i managed to get this:



Used a lot of alteration orbs to get it so, obviously didn't try more and now i just don't really know what to do, my RNG has been so bad lately i'm scared of trying to upgrade it, i'm not even sure how i would upgrade it, (locking affix / just using an Aug and then regal etc.) not sure about its current value aswell, maybe i've spent more than i should have i don't know.

I don't really have a goal in the game right now, it's also my first time reaching lv78, maybe i'll reroll, maybe not now.

So what should i do, pray RNG and try to upgrade, maybe wait before upgrading to stack currency and get masters at a higher level to manipulate the RNG, or just try to sell it?

This build shouldn't be updated. It should be written again, step by step. Tbh it feels more outdated and 3.0.0 in thread name is just an illusion.

raider doesn't work in 3.0. Oneshots on every step. Merc lab is still impossible on 77lvl.

Why no aspect of the Eagle?

I did my merc lab at like 70 and I'm 82 now?

It's just that it isn't a brainless build until you get full geared. It requires placement skills and it asks to react quickly to some situations. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if half of the complaining players have poorly leveled their tree and don't know how to get proper stuff for a really cheap budget.

The only part I agree with is that the build need little tweaks here and there but the main stuff is explained and easy to understand. If you're not comfortable to start a league with builds having a steep learning curve switch to a league starter build. There are a lot on the forums, youtube & streams. Switch back to this build once you have enough currencies to get some good pieces.

I'm not here to brag or whatever but I've done Merc Lab at Lv 67 with crappy stuff and resists around 30-40%. I think I barely had 2k HP.

Do you have proper flasks ? (2 HP flasks, one quicksilver, one diamond, one Atziri Promise is pretty ok to start map with). Did you pick enough defensives nodes in the tree instead of going full offensive while leveling ? Have you done all your gems setup including IC+CWDT ; HoI/HoT+Curse ? Did you pick enough life leech in the tree (you can respec these later) ? Do you Blink when you need to blink and run when you need to run ? (This one is important, as blinking instead of running could kill you in some situations / AoE ). Have you purchased a Lioneye's Glare as soon as you leveled 66 ? (Death's Opus isn't that good if you are going full ele conversion and will be even less good later once you corrupt quiver & enchant helmet for + x arrows).

Lioneye's glare is amazing in 3.0. Actually I'm almost sure that a near perfect roll Lioneye's Glare (~350-360 pdps, 24% elem) will be on par with a 400+ pdps Harbinger. (I'm about to test this in the next few days). Even if it isn't, it certainly is on par with a 380pdps one. Plus that new Far Shot is sexy as hell with both LA & TS.
