Read Me Q: What do I need to do to get comparable DPS? A: Item modifiers are as follows by importance, first being the most important: 1. Highest Tier Flat Physical Damage 2. Strength (At least +43 Strength) 3. High Tier Resistance (At least 38% each) 4. Movement Speed (At least 25%) 5. Life is optional (1000 Str = 500HP = Free Kaom's Heart) Q: How do you combat resistance issues? A: Purity of Elements. And take the Marauder/Scion resistance nodes. Q: Why not use rare Stygian Vise? A: If you are planning to use Rare Stygians, use Meginord's Girdle instead. Only use Darkness Enthroned for belt slots when you have insane abyss jewels. Belts below are ranked according to effectiveness. 1. Darkness Enthroned 2. String of Servitude (60% Pride Effectiveness) 3. Ryslatha's Coil 4. Meginord's Girdle Q: Would you run Champion instead if you were playing on HC? A: I will suggest Gladiator, Juggernaut, Slayer in order for most preferred for HC. Q: No Alberon's Warpath? A: As a Cyclone user, you will want more movement speed. If you are not using cyclone, Alberon's will be better. But resist will be tighter to manage. Q: Is that Pure Talent gem actually any good? A: Its useful for the initial stages for your attribute requirements gems. Since it is a unique, you can corrupt it. Q: What do you think about Meginord's Vice over your gloves? Are spiked only better in this case since you're running Cat Aspect and Farrul's Fur? A: I will always suggest a rare glove. Spiked preferred. Vice is good for leveling. But you may use Slitherpinch, for the Dexterity and Leech. Even if you do not run Cat, gloves like mine, minus the Cat skill is almost top tier. You could try using special essences to get the 16% more speed for socketed gems, Leap Slam will benefit in this case. Q: Good 4th flask if you don't want to use two life flasks? Guessing just Lion's Roar or something. A: Use it if you have it. Q: You didn't cover gems much in your guide. The ones in your pillar are pretty interesting, but I don't quite understand the point of frost wall, and having two guard gems (Steelskin + Immortal Call, thought they didn't stack). You also have a rogue less duration gem sitting in your gloves, is that doing anything? A: Okay, this is probably the point in the build where it has to be most detailed. - The pillar gems are freestyle, for my testing, I wanted to find most comfortable cwdt setup for porcupines. And thank you for pointing out IC and SS are Guard Skills. I will change them. Frost wall blocks projectiles, helps a good load. - The less duration gem, this is supported to the Cat Skill, as Farruls Fur, gives +2seconds duration to the cycling buffs, this means i will have a downtime of 2 seconds for my charges. Less Duration reduces the cycle time to 7 seconds. Which is enough to keep the charges up permanantly as they last 10 seconds. Thank you, please leave your experiences with the build. Hope you enjoy my pillar build.

impale(104more dmg) and soul of steel (+1max res) must have. Farrul's Fur too high price, iron fortress more real.
|

" I would suggest skipping iron fortress all together. A good alternative would be loreweave. And yes, i did mention impale, but havent updated the tree in the POB yet. Will do in a minute. Build:

So, i'm currently playing with your build(a very funny one first build that actually reached me to endgame), and I'm not in the situation to buy a Farrul Furr(left me 8 exalts,curently using a loreweave) so then i would ask you a good option to generate faster frenzy/power charges, since it's a bit hard to generate them without having the Farrul.
Also isn't a more viable option to use herald of purity instead of pride, like i said before i don't have farrul to put aspect of the cat without mana reservation, and aspect of the cat + loreweave + herald of purity are scaling more faster in DPS than pride + the pride belt. Also there are so nice two-handed melee damage nodes near the Master of the Arena Node, maybe those are also god to take instead of some extra jewel socket. Thanks for this amazing build. |

" Hi, I would like to stress that a farrul is not required to run the build. For frenzy, you are able to use bloodrage. It is okay to drop power charges if you can afford it. A good loreweaves will almost even out the dmg output from farruls. The nodes for Two-handed weapons at the duelist area are okay to take early. But jewels are worth much more due to having able to get str/crit/attack speed/life. Hope you have fun with the build. :) Build:

Finally a league and a build worthy of bringing my character NicholasCaged out of retirement.

What about this version:
https://pastebin.com/yFSeV9pn Max res +1, more life/phys DR and nearly the same damage. Just have to fix the resists. Note: I've added life notes in your PoB to get to 117 points. Last edited by foojin#2576 on Jul 6, 2019, 5:18:19 AM
