Just wanted to say that I had a level 82 ranger with full passive reset that I wanted to try something new with before the next full reset in a month.

Using just so so equipment I had lying around, (4 links) and starting with a level 1 tornado shot (and almost all other gems needed) and I was able to solo a4m Dominus first try. (PS that might say something as to the power of tornado shot) Heres Equip:

I played almost the entire weekend. I find myself always spamming tornado shot and never puncture, even though the tooltip puncture damage is 3x as much. Puncture just doesn't seem to do any damage. I am wondering why I even need it.

I really like the build but my tool-tip dps is only 3,800 tornado shot and a little over 9k for puncture. The question here is do I need better equipment? Any suggestions? Do I need to wait until after 2.0 to buy better equipment?

Thanks!!!

I pretty much do the same, the shotgunning power of TS is really hard to overlook. I prefer using Puncture Trap over regular Puncture, pretty much the only thing that I've adjusted to. Regular Puncture is still quite nice (vs Atziri, etc) though.

For upgrades just depends on what you wanna do, 75 maps? 77-78? Atziri? Uber?

I think the gear you have and DPS, when your gems level especially, is pretty decent for pre-75. Would look at getting a pair of Maligaro and then upgrading your Bow, followed by Jewelry upgrades. I think you can easily 5L your Chest (Worth 5L, maybe not 6L) and craft life on your Belt to start too.

What are the advantages of trap-puncture vs regular puncture?
is it needed any investment into trap nodes?

I have both

in my stash. As I'm starting Merciless, should I go ahead and use these even tho it'll leave me with some resist holes? Or should I make sure I can cap resists before switching to them?

I value Rat's over Maligaro for switching in first, others opinions may differ.
