I don't get the point with the breakpoints with CDR/APS
I understand that if APS is too high every other time the effects will not trigger resulting in ~50% less damage. But in my understanding, there is not such a thing like a certain breakpoint. In my opinion, the required CDR is directly related to the APS value. Assuming an APS of 6.78 and main/offhand equal values: Time per attack is 1/6.78 = 0.1475 The skill's cooldown should be below this value to trigger each time. In my case, it is 0.17 To fix it, I could lower my APS or increase my CDR. 1/0.17=6.67 APS should be less than that but as high as possible to solve the problem. 1-(0.1475/0.17)=13.24 The other solution would be to increase CDR to at least this value. A combination of both would also work. In general, adding CDR could only improve but also can have no effect in the worst case. Adding APS could result in the loss of ~50% damage so I should do that with more care. Am I wrong at any point? | |
Hey,
I'm playing the life version of this build and really enjoying it so far. I was wondering if anyone has some suggestions for upgrades that I could make to my build: https://pastebin.com/nJK9aHGU Maybe there are some cheap upgrades that I didn't think of. For more expensive upgrades I was thinking about buying a crit/explosion chest because I want to improve my map clear and I want to be able to easily clear legions. I'm still using a 5L carcass jack but I thought I'd save for that right away instead of buying a 6L carcass jack first. Or is there any other expensive upgrade that I should make first? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! | |
I have The Budget to do any of these of the three Life .. LL or CI(def or zoomzoom) wish one should i go for?

" After playing all versions expect for LL i can say that GB/max block is most fun and best overall version. If you don't care too much about dying sure go LL or CI with no max block. But overall GB with max block (or close) is STRONG defense layer with ES on block shield. In my eyes those who play LL are masochist because have to skip EXPLODE chest that is absolutely amazing for this build and its day and night difference... In this league i switched from life version to CI on day 2 after i crafted random ES on block shield and had 4K ES. All went super smooth even on t16 maps This may be interesting to some guys. I got day1--> to this day on poe ninja if want to see how i progressed https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/char/juju666/jujuCats?i=25&search=class%3DAssassin%26skill%3DCyclone&time-machine=day-1 I got 95% perfect gear currently and will post soon about them! | |
" If I understand this correctly, you're asking if you lower your APS to below 6.06 would you deal less damage? TO be honest I'm not sure if you would be able to lower it that much and still dual wield Cospri's. I could be wrong though as I've never played 2x Cospri's with this build. | |
" How do I link my gems if I have both Enlighten 4 and the mana reserve shield ? I have about 300ex in currency and still leveling to Act10. What should I be looking out for ? Cospri, chest, -cold res helm , ES/mana res shield ? Last edited by Valant on Feb 11, 2021, 12:21:50 PM

" Well you don't need enlighten 4 if you have mana reserve shield Well with 300ex you can easily buy/craft decent gear. By crafting yourself and buying harvest crafts from discord you will save a lot of currency | |
" No, the main thing I am asking if I understood it right. If I did, there is kind of an error in the guide. If I did not, my build will be worse as it could be (or cost more than it have to). For example your APS 6.06, where does this value come from? Give me math and argumentations and I will be happy. Give me "stick to the breakpoints" without explanation and I am unhappy. | |
" https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/e5pyr8/the_cyclone_cast_on_critical_strike_cooldown/ "Takeaway #1: 14% Increased Cooldown Recovery Speed is the first breakpoint amount that does anything for CoC and Malice. Getting less than 14% behaves as if you had none whatsoever; and getting more than 14% behaves just as if you had 14% (all the way up to and including 51%). 14% is a magic number. Crafted ICRS does not work for CoC or Cospri's Malice, as it has a maximum value of 12%." "The answer, as far as I can tell, is that your attacks are actually timed to a background timer instead of tied to whole numbers of server ticks. This means that having an attack time of 4.5 server ticks per attack does not round up to 5 ticks, but instead alternates between 4 and 5 ticks, to accurately represent that non-integer number of ticks over a long sample. When attacking this fast, you will subsequently miss some 5-tick cooldowns when you have a 4-tick delay and hit those cooldowns when it is a 5-tick delay. This means your overall trigger rate will decrease linearly after exceeding the threshold until you are always attacking one frame too fast, at which point you will maximise your trigger skips. This would occur at 4 ticks per attack when you have a cooldown of 5 ticks, or 3 ticks per attack when you have a cooldown of 4 ticks. This means the worst situation is 7.57ApS when you have 0% ICRS, or 10.1ApS when you have 14% ICRS. This results in losing 37.5% of your DpS in the 0% ICRS situation (8 ticks per cast instead of 5), or losing 33% of your DpS in the 14% calculation (6 ticks per cast instead of 4). That is a very large DPS loss!" Basically if you don't have any CDR then your APS needs to be below 6.06. Last edited by Gulch on Feb 11, 2021, 2:35:36 PM

" OK, got it. The Breakpoints have to do with the 33ms serverticks. Thanks a lot! |
