If you play softcore berserker is really strong, so is slayer (insane aoe or leech)
I prefer kaoms over astral plate/lightning coil

Lighty, thanks for an amazing guide and detailed breakdown of how to go from start to finish. In your opinion, if you had to rank the top 5 Ascendancy classes in order for a new standard, Prophecy character, what would they be?

So I'm having no issues with survivability or damage.. but I'm also only doing rare tier 5-7 maps. I'd like you guys to help me see some weak spots in my gear so I can be watching poe.trade for deals on replacements as I get to higher tier maps and level up. This is my first/only character in this league so I have a pretty limited budget at the moment (maybe 120-125c).

Given the limited budget, up until this point my whole focus has been finding armour-ish gear and simultaneously getting decent life rolls and maxing my resists (107/80/77).

Gems are a little off (basically skipping herald of ash until later so I can manually cast enduring cry stone golem etc), but I'll fix that eventually.

Flat phys on jewelry, attack speed on gloves.

ignore my gems coz im newb.

Yo guys. I'm a newbie... Lighty Cyclon my first build :D
I skip prophecy... and working on my cyclon ... waiting new league.
Duelist Champion(Lighty said that this is the best choice for cyclon)
so i dont know about dmg... how much do i need.

with >> selfbuff(hatred+ash+firegolem+bloodrage) + taste + promise + 3 frenzy = 280 000 x 7 attacks per second = ~ 1 900 000 (conc effect)
172 000 and 7 attacks per second withotu conc.
all dmg without vaal haste

I do not know how to count the damage ... that's right , I do it or not .
And in general to any damage figures need to strive for?

Is cyclone really that underwhelming compared to eq? Eq is better even without voidheart?

Hey Lighty, thanks for the awesome guide. I am able to do t8-9 maps without a problem and im only level 78 with decent gear.

I was wondering, since I chose Marauder/Berserker for my ascendancy class, after the 40% damage increase passive. Which ones should i take for the next 2 points and so on? Im torn if I should get the leech or the attack speed + reduced damage on recent kill.. I have just finished my merciless lab, so I have 2 point to spend (i already spent the first 4 on the 40% damage increase)

Also, Im currently running hatred + blasphemy (vulnerability) combo. I find it a very nice combo with bloodrage active.
But I'm wondering if I should switch to more defensive build since I am already doing lots of damage as a berserker.

If I were to switch out the blasphemy+vulnerability, what aura or defensive curse would you use?

Thanks a ton.

Could I get some feedback on my Duelist? Playing EQ & feeling a little squishy.
Should be the default character on my profile.

How much better is it to pick up slayers Impact over Brutal Fervour? It's 20% aoe vs leech modifiers and bleed immunity. With the build im running im getting 200% increased leech and 20% of max life as leech, with 6.2% leech. Would it be worth dropping max leech for that 20% aoe?

In most scenarios max max leech (20%) isn't needed due its slow rate, if something was going to burst you down 20% vs 15% leech would make zero difference, 10% is plenty for everything and aoe is a much higher valued stat since it directly buffs your clear speed. That being said I can see the slayer aoe getting nerfed so if thats your route be wary that you may not enjoy it for long, the 40% it has atm seems too high imo.
