Hey, i want to try out 2h crit sword build, is it good for prophecy league? and is hiltless a best choice to go for?

Its fine and for starting off its a good choice, hege is strictly better and wouldn't be more than 20 points different on the tree. The issue will be you need very good rare's compared to RT namely T1 accuracy on both diamond rings along with the standard cyclone stats, life,res,wed,flat ect. You will also have less life since maligaro's or shadow & dust is a must. Overall its roughly 30% "better" and 100% more expensive, but it can work.

I'm only level 61 should I rework the skill tree to use EQ over cyclone since you're saying it's that much stronger? The tree I've been looking at isn't too different. Would have to level up the new skills etc. Think I could rework it with just the free refunds.

I'm HC Prophecy league.

The tree is essentially the same, you shouldn't have to rework much if anything.

Hey. I'm leveling this build now, I'm actually not a huge fan of earthquake but will probably give it another shot. Point being, I always liked cyclone, esp for hardcore. Seems to have a lot better leech/sustain/nostun early etc. I read last page or so where you say EQ>Cyclone atm, would you say cyclone is less viable? or is the difference in damage minor (~5%?) and what about clear speed? Is EQ just FAR superior?

Hey,

What golem are you guys using with this build?

EQ has more single target and more aoe radius&damage than cyclone at the moment, mostly due to its massive more multiplier from the aftershock (which needs to be nerfed). Combine this with the Voidheart ring that grants bleed/poison on hit that both double dip from the more multiplied aftershock and more multiplier from less duration equals a massive amount of damage ( way fucking overkill ) and aoe the size of your screen all with a 5l marohi erqi. You simple walk near anything, shift+click EQ once and everything dies. EQ has more single target dps than heavy strike at the moment, its absurd. Because of this every other melee skill will be inferior. Even ones considered T1 melee skills prior to EQ; IE, Reave & Cyclone.

Stone/Chaos/Lightning are the best overall. Its difficult to reach enough int to have 20/20 chaos/lightning golem so in most cases the stone golem is favorable. This combined with how beneficial stone golem can be within the labyrinth and mapping due to its massive flat life regeneration.

If I was to convert my champion to an Earthquake Build from EQ - What changes do I need to make/How should I setup EQ?

I tried some minimal experimentation and I don't think I'm clever enough to figure it out on my own as Earthquake was significantly weaker than cyclone when I just set it up.

The only thing is you prioritize less duration as your 2nd link and its best to run hatred + warlords (blasphemy). The leech from warlords is plenty to sustain EQ. A 5l Marohi erqi is enough to carry you to 100 and if possible buy a reduced eq duration i84 helm and craft it yourself. Seems there a few ex depending if you want normal or uber enchant.

Hey Lighty, thanks for the diversified build, it's allowed me to feel like I'm actually putting thought into my choices instead of just buying the 1 listed item per slot and I'm really enjoying myself.

All me EQ buddies are running Voidheart. Does it seem viable to use one for the bleed and poison? I tried it a few maps in a row and didn't feel like it was 'cleaning up the trash' like I thought it would. Still had to buzz over and mow them down.

Looking at shelling out the extra chaos to get a DD w/ a cyclone enchant. The options are raw cyclone damage vs faster attacks. Which would offer more overall damage? Thanks in advance!

If you get a few seconds, could you let me know what my crucial items to upgrade are?
