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

I haven't checked 6l eva chest in std for a while. They were damn overpriced a few months ago.
It looks like a good deal to me.
The new one is really cool.

Buy one.
Since we don't have the hybrid mod with Tora anymore, it's extremely hard to get ~over 330 pdps.

Harbinger bow base: 35-91
Tyrannical roll: 160% (and you'r lucky if you have one)
Tora avg flat: 16-29

pdps = (35+91+16+29) * (1+1.6+0.2) * 1.2 / 2 = 287. This is low. It will be a bit over 300 with attack speed from tora.

With granite flask recipe:
flat roll: 30-54
Tora %phys: 75
pdps = (35+91+16+29) * (1 + 0.75 + 0.2) * 1.2 / 2 = 200.

As you can see, if you really want good damage, you need to roll high flat and very high % physical or hybrid phys/accuracy.

btw, with that budget, I'd just buy a cheap 6L armor, like skuadak one a few post above, and and a decent 6S/5L bow. Links are much cheaper on body.

You can follow the guide if you want to make the average archer. If you want a sensibly more tanky one, look at MortalKombat3 duelist archer (his profile is public). Tankiness comes at the cost of damage of course. But according to MK, he does enough damage.

Saranghaeyo_'s resource thread is also a very recommended read.
I would also say don't focus too heavily on unique items, it's a trap that can hamper your survivability. These items are not necessary to get (very) good damage. But if you chose this full rare route, you will need an excellent quiver and amulet with crit multi, and the rest of you jewelry must also be good on offensive side (diamond with flat phys, good accuracy rolls, etc.) The main benefit is you have sensibly more life, and capped resist can be easier to get.

edit: some clarifications.

Get a bow like one of those: http://poe.trade/search/omariusitooric
As a first step I suggest you to build around tabula rasa. If it fits you playstyle, you could just switch to Voll's.
As you will also use Atziri's Acuity and probably rat's nest, you need a fuck ton of life of the rest of your gear. If it isn't enough just drop rat's nest for a nice rare with high eva, 90+ life and some good res. Two ex. I use:



Note that you can still reach 90+ crit chance with such a helm.

So:

belt: leather or rustic base, 90+ base life, two or three res, str if two res.
boots: rare, 25+ move speed, 80+ life, , two or three res.
quiver: crit implicit, 30+ crit multi, crit chance, 60+ life, leech welcomed.
amulet: crit multi, high life, res. Accuracy welcomed.
ring: whatever you still need. Ideally diamond rings. Accuracy welcomed.
jewels (2 probably): life & mana leech, mana on hit, life, dual res if needed. There's no need for damage, you'll have enough from tree.
helmet: rat's nest or rare with high life, 2 or 3 high res, accuracy if two res.
chest: start with tabula. If it's good, switch to Voll's but good luck to get the right colors (ggggrb, gggrrb, gggrbb are ok). Else just switch to a cheap 6L eva chest, or Daresso's Defiance.


tree: just follow the one in op. Get Master of the Arena, Heart of Oak and Golem's Blood for 3.6% life regen to easily sustain blood rage. You can't afford to use Blood Dance with the lack of res you'll have on most of your gear.

links:

AOE:
lightning arrow, gmp, chain, crit chance, wed, ideally ppad, else crit multi or added fire.
split arrow, chain, ppad, crit chance, added fire, wed or crit multi (faster attack or slower proj if 4G)
TS, gmp, same as split for the last 4 links

Single target:
Puncture or Frenzy, PPAD, Slower Proj, crit chance, crit multi.

Bandits: life, skill point, frenzy or power charge
