CyclonDefinitiv's Notes

Important notes Take Watchtowers only once you use Shrapnell Ballista Totem Currently additional Arrow is bugged with Fury Falve or intentionaly not working, do not get +1 Arrow for Endgame until this is addressed. Leveling needs to be rewritten for Manaforged Leveling See Skills for how to level for now ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ USE ANGER OR HASTE, CAN'T USE BOTH We use Haste for easy maps, once the build is strong, if you struggle with Damage or keeping Trinity up use Anger ||| When to do the Swaps ||| || Crit Swap || To Crit Swap you just need enough Passive Points to allocate all the Crit Nodes and Spec out the Precise Technique It is also recommended to upgrade your Rares to their good State. Refer to my Crafting Video or Crafting Guides how to craft them yourself. || Tornado Shot Swap || To swap from Lightning Arrow to Tornado Shot use Level 20 Tornado Shot , Chain & Greater Multiple Projectile and try a Map with it If both Clear and Single Target feel good, you are ready to swap. If you feel a significant decrease in either Clear or Single Target, do not swap yet. Get some Upgrades first. REMEMBER TO RESPEC THE PIERCE NODES ON TREE AND REPLACE FOCAL POINT WITH RICOCHET At any Point pre or shortly after swap get your Clusters Crafted or Buy. Once you on Tornado Shot also quickly buy the Tornado Shot Helmet Enchantment or a Helm with it. I would also recommend getting 1 additional Projectile Tattoo here. || Tornado Shot of Cloudburst Swap || To swap to Tornado Shot of Cloudburst you need Fury Valve the Gem & the Totem Setup ||| Leveling Section ||| Look for Essence of Anger, Wrath, Hatred, Woe, Greed Look for Bow Upgrades every few Level and use Essence to upgrade Bow to Rare Use Essence of Woe on Quivers for % Bow Damage During Campaign, if you find a Vaal Side Area, run it and look for Vaal Ice Shot or Vaal Lightning Arrow Optional Vaal Rain of Arrows, not feeling as good, but still high DPS and use that Skill for rest of Campaign, once in Maps look for Vaal Lightning Arrow specificly To have higher odds, look for 2 GGG one Hand Weapons and buy 6x Lightning Arrow in Act 6 to Vaal when you find Vaal Orbs. || Act 1 || 3 Wisdomws & 3-5 Transmutes Look for G-G-G, G-G-R and Runner Boots first few Town Visits You need generaly a few Red Sockets and MANY Green Sockets. If you aren't looking for perfect campaign time, use a Body Armour early to help with Socket Pressure. Look for any Link GGR One Hand Weapons to have in Offhand to place Leveling Gems You need a Lapis Amulet in Act 1 or 2, check when you grab Lightning Arrow and when you grab 2.
