[3.7] 1H-Impale Cyclone Champion/Slayer - 16M+ Shaper DPS Fullbuffed / 158%-220% Movspeed Speedy Boy

A

I have two question about Gems:
Why Close Combat and Infused. Close Combat nothing change in DPS on PoB and Concentred Effect gives more damage than Infused.
So atm I belive this setup is best, isn't it?

3R (Brutality | Malee Physical Damage | Fortify)
1B (Concentred Effect)
2G (Cyclone | Impale)

Thanks

PoB doesn't properly calculate Close Combat. If you manually add the damage (via adding the stat to a piece of equipment) it absolutely does more damage than for example Melee Phys (as long as you're in Close Combat range). Concentrated Effect has more damage than Infused but 1. It kills your AoE size which is a huge problem, and 2. Infused gives you 8% less damage taken from attack/aoe/movement/channeling/physical/melee skills that hit you (which is a huge damage mitigation and not worth losing).

Optimal 6L right now for the best mix of damage, AoE, and survivability is:

Cyclone
Impale
Brutality
Fortify
Infused Channeling
Pulverise (for mapping) / Close Combat (for bosses)

I took a look at you char and I see that you are using a +maim chest AND maim linked to flesh and stone. Do we really need both maims?

Hello, any can give me any tip to delve with this build?

YES, because F/S+MAIM is a MORE multi separate from anything else and huge DPS buff

Thanks a lot!

Can you give me a hint on what to upgrade next?
