(3.2) [Lighty] 2H RT Cyclone: Dope for Beast League & Lab™

Pretty happy with how my guy is going - smashing everything right now! 91k tooltip dps just sitting in hideout, 6377hp with maxed resist, 68% phys damage reduction from armor.

Any suggestions on how I could further max him out?

Hi guys

Cyclone is only viable with 2-handed weapons?
Dual wielding would not be good?
So many Questions, i try to answer some of them:

Would like some advice on gear to upgrade and how, love the build good job!



Well i cant see ur Skilltree, but what i see is that u dont use 100% of ur Mana. Why dont u use Fortify with ur Leapslam, so u can get another Gem into ur Cyclone Setup. Maybe Increased Aoe or Concentrated Aoe? Also, get ur Gems to 20/20 is a great Damage Source.

What level content are you running? I just levelled from 89 to 90 without a death, running t11-13 maps

Also I'm curious as to why blood magic gem is even really a thing in the guide for this build - the blood magic skill is so easy to pick up and surely it's better to lose a passive point than it is to lose an offensive support gem.


Well, if u use the Blood Magic Skill in the Tree, u will use ur Hatred and Herald of Ash with ur Life. And loosing 75% Life wont be a good Idea. Also with the -50% life reserved u have 37,5% life reserved. U wont get a good amount from these Points to compensate it.

Hello, on the skill tree above the resolute technique passive, you take 3 life nodes, with Devotion passive.

Why not go instead for the 3 endurance charge nodes just below ?


I think that depends on ur Playstyle and what u will get out of it. (My Build need 10 Endurance Charges, his not)

Someone probably already asked this, but there are alot of pages. I see you listed a ton of weapon skills (axe, Mace, etc). Which is probably better or easier to use in terms of currency?

I dont have a ton of currency to spend on crafting high level rares, are useful axes more abundant later on, or does the culling strike from Maces make that big of a difference that I should just go maces?

Might seem like a loaded question, but I just started this league and am learning everything.


Cant tell u that exactly, cause i dont know how the prices will be. I mostly used an Axe. Hezmana's Bloodlust, so i dont need to care about mana.

ok so I finally saved up enough and bought a 6L disfavour axe. I forgot that coming from Hezmana axe that I was effectively doing from a 6L to a 5L due to the fact that I now have to have a blood magic gem, so the upgrade wasn't as big as I was hoping for :(

It does mean that I have 2 6L items now and currently only actually using 4 of the 6 links on my chest. How can I best setup my gems from here?

Use Fortify with Leap Slam and u got a free Slot for ur Cyclone.

Do you recommend JUGGERNAUT or BERSERKER for Marauders? And if JUGGERNAUT, how many Endurance charges max?


Depends on ur Playstile. Only thing i can say.

Na i dont think so. For Marauder Class, i think that 2Hand is better but there are some 1h Builds out there with Ranger i saw. Or some other too. (I dont see much xD)
Quick question, thinking about starting another Cyclone character as not played this in a few leagues but is an Ancestral Warchief setup any good for single target damage instead of Vaal Ground Slam/Vaal Cyclone?
Hi guys,

I am quite a beginner. It is my first POE season and I was quite lucky with my loots. This lead me to be able to buy pretty much whatever I wanted. I just wanted to check with a pro what I should change and how I could optimise my gem setting (especially weapon and helmet).

Here is my stuff :



Thanks a lot

Hey, u use Leapslam with Faster Attacks and Fortify. Why do u use Fortify then also in ur Cyclone Setup?
Ur Jumpspeed is so fast u can jump into the enemy and get ur Fortify.

Herald of Ash and Hatred will Reserve 75% of ur Mana. U dont have enough Mana to cast BloodRage without Blood Magic? The same with Leapslam. If u have enough Mana to cast it, u rly dont need BloodMagic.

If u can get rid of it, we can talk about what to use instead of.

Why do u have Blasphemy in ur Helmet? I thought u use Vengeance with Curse on Hit. I dont know???

Tree is fine.

And pls give me ur RNG. :)


AND Devoto with maybe the Enchantment for Bloodrage (12% Attack Speed) is right now at 10c.
Huge investment.

Hi Schnitzel and thanks for your reply,

I am gonna be very honest with you right there. I looted a Headhunter at my lvl 80 after only 2 days so I don't completely know what I am doing so I am trying different things.

Regarding Fortify, at first I setup a fortify gem on my cyclone because I thought it would have a better chance of proc on cyclone than Leap (because I would cyclone more often). Then, I realised that I had way too much links on my weapon and decided to setup a fortify on the Leap just because I could. Also, I use to have my vengeance on Atziri, this helped fortify proc as well (I think).
In the end, I think I should probably use Atziri for my curse set up and use my Helmet for the leap set up ? What do you think ?
Would you recommend me changing the fortify in my Cyclone for a fast attack or concentrated/increased area of effect ?

Regarding Bloodmagic, once again I am a noob. I thought that using blood magic with Bloodrage would get rid of the life I am losing per second, now I realise that I am not losing enough life for it to be worth it. You are right about the mana thing, what would you recommend instead of blood magic ? Should I 4L the boots ?
To be honest with you, I also looked at what lighty did on his own boots because I didn't really understand how to set it up.

Regarding Blasphemy, what I understood is that blasphemy was a buff for curses AND could make curses be cast as auras. I use to have a CWDTlv1 on my helmet but I wanted to try this set up to get higher lvl auras. I guess I failed ^^. My goal was to get a self casted aura set up to keep it up as often as possible.

The tree is pretty much the same as the one on the build, I am just trying to get to jewel slots to boost my dps.

I tried sharing my RNG with people, it doesn't work. I was pretty lucky with loots and links (I linked my armour and weapon for a cheap price) but spent 10exx+ trying to link my friends' stuff unsuccessfully.


I was gonna ask you why not buy a Devoto with 40% cyclone or 15% attack speed then realised in was about 10 ex. I just bought a 12% blood rage one as recommended. I will just wait to get a proper link setup to put it on.

Thanks again for your help.
My time for a similar question! I'm looking on what I can improve on my build to get up to the next level. Currently have ~190 chaos in the stash (I'm pretty poor).

Hey,

use Atziri for ur Cyclone Setup. U get +2 Level of Supported Gems.

I would try "Cyclone, Weapon Elemental Damage, Added Fire Damage, Melee Physical Damage, BloodMagic and Increased Aoe. It will help u a bit with Farming/Mapping. And when u get to the boss u switch in Concentrated Aoe. It is 54% MORE Damage.

U need one 4L Setup for the Cwdt, Molten Shell, Immortal Call and Increased Duration.

Leapslam, Fortify, Faster Attack is the next 4Link

and

BloodRage, Enduring Cry, Increased Duration should be another Setup.



And now u have many options for ur Curse Setup.

If u want Blasphemy u can do something like this:

Blasphemy, ur Curse, Hatred, Herald of Ash and a lvl 4 Enlighten. Then u just add BloodMagic to ur BloodRage/Enduring Cry Setup and the Leapslam one.

For me personal i feel like having an 24/7 Aura is not needed. For me. If u like it, u can do it.

I used another way. And i felt pretty Stupid but it was awesome.

I used my 6Link with

Cwdt lvl1, Enfeeble, Curse on Hit, Blade Vortex, Vortex and Increased AoE.

Damn this was awesome. I had the Curse up a long time cause of the Blade Vortex and got an awesome Chill Effect with Vortex.

But u know, it is up to u. Right now i am using a Kaoms Heart. I dont need the Curse anymore (Maybe need for Endgame Bosses, but i dont rly Care if I die).
