[3.17] For Slayer / Champion - Ngamahu Cyclone / Consecrated Path / Tectonic Slam

"

Combustion is the go-to for axe. Elemental Focus for Cyclone on chest.

Why? Wouldnt be better to put combustion in Cyclone so your hits lower enemy fire res and then molten burst benefits from that?

this build looks interesting. is it good for boss killing and can you just face tank all end game bosses? 15exalts spending range would that be enough?

Hey guys,

Sitting at level 83 and loving this build so far. Has ended up being pretty cheap up to this point (still do not have Xoph's/Impres/Watcher's though".

At this point, I am sitting fairly comfortably @ 4.1k Life, 3.2k Armor/6k Evade (9k Armor if I choose IR). I can get Cyclone to sit at around 90k DPS & Molten Burst @ 8k.

Progress - Have not done Ubers yet, only 3/4 labs done. Only @ Tier 6 maps as well.

Question - To do some of the higher content I would like some more survivability, I have not put Enduring Cry into the build yet, as I have not needed it. Would there be a way to automate this in some way? I already have CWDT for Immortal Call and would really like to steer away from not being able to rely on it. (By having 2 CWDT setups.)

Any ideas?

Thanks all in advance!

So took a break from this build to farm around 20ex on my alt.
What would be the biggest boosts for me to do the end game boss challenges(farm them)

Was thinking of buying Xoph's blood, and maybe the 40% enchant?
Or should I go for the watchers eye/ tombfists?
If someone could check out my Character and help me out would be greatly appreciated.

Holy crap that perseverance. How much /played for those 20ex?

For your char, I have imported it into PoB (and added Conc Effect, Added Ele Damage and Fortify to your Cyclone). With all flasks active that gets you to 155k dps against the Shaper.

First thing: Get Herald of Ash -> 171k (no cost)

From here, every aspect is treated individually based on those 171k.

Going for Xoph's Blood means losing Flammability and freeing 6 passive points (as long as you need RT, 3 once you change to EO). I get to 196k unconditional dps with those changes (going for Slaughter on the tree). If you check "covered in Ash", the conditional mod on Xoph's Blood, you get 236k.

The next biggest boost would be a dual mod Watcher's Eye replacing your single mod one. If we add 15% fire pen, your dps becomes 196k.

Much cheaper comes a boost to 194k by simply getting Tombfists (medium attack speed) with any Murderous Eye jewel. Your current gloves have no dps stats, so there's no loss except for one thing: Without your gloves, you have more cold than fire resist, so you need to get fire resist on a jewel to maintain the Wise Oak benefit. Dps stats on the jewel(s) could enhance this further.

Even cheaper than that you could replace the Sulphur flask with the Worm flask to trigger "killed recently". Checking that gets you to 195k (after removing Sulphur). Don't know if 100% uptime is realistic though, I picked Champion.

The 15% Cyclone attack speed enchant would get you to 182k dps. It's better than the 40% increased one in your case.

Last thing, your rings are bad dps-wise. A GG Opal ring (implicit and 2 perfect T1 prefixes) would get you to 193k.


Overall however, I feel this build is rather limited by its 2-handed weapon (-> no stat stick possible). It takes a lot of currency for comparably weak results. My opinion that is.
