(3.2) [Lighty] 2H RT Cyclone: Dope for Beast League & Lab™
Even with the bleed stacking node, is chance to bleed really worth taking instead of some of the larger increase supports?

" Yeah, thanks for the reply. I did exactly this. Current gear (5k900 HP, 200K effective DPS (using Witchfire brew), res capped and trying to get out the second amulet for an utility or huge dps booster like Essence Worm + Hatred):

" I think Fortify still is a good choice, IF you don't have a good damage mitigation yet, with more expensive gear. Fortify reduces multiplicatively the income damage (applied after all calculations) so it's hard get this effectiveness just with gear. Also, more time alive = more dps. |

With the new support gems, I started to think about a Starforge variant of this build. Now that we'll have brutallity, Maim and Ruthless, I think pure-phys might be a better option than the atziri's variaton... The base DPS of Starforge is 100+, just need to adjust the skilltree to sword nodes and boom. (I don't know if there's less axe nodes, if yes it can be comparable)
ps: Fortify + Vengeance + Leap slam + Faster attacks IMO is the better setup, freeing the 6th link on the Cyclone setup. |

Uh, another thought. I don't think that using the BM gem is a good choice. This is why:
You'll have to waste 1 slot of every single active skill that you want to use, in this case loosing a lot of DPS on the Cyclone setup. To compensate this, you run Hatred + some another aura like Haste (let's say). The DPS of this 2 auras combined REALY is better than just put Added fire on the setup? Or better, Brutallity? The only advantage I see is that you have the flexibility of changing your auras any time you want. But this, over freeing a slot on every other skill? For me isn't a good trade. Also with the brutallity variant (that probably I'll follow) you'll not get the boost from Hatred or HoA. Edit: Not to mention the huge boost to life with the BM minor nodes.

You run Arctic Armour because it still applies chill and there's no better 25% aura, alternatively you can run a 2nd 50% aura or drop hoa for blasphemy

Quick question on the gems why are there two leaps when warchief totem has maim?
Vengeance + Leap Slam + Maim + Bloodmagic Blood Rage + Blood Magic + Leap Slam + Faster Attacks Warchief Totem + Melee Physical + Concentrated Effect + Maim Last edited by Stephen2102#3478 on Aug 4, 2017, 12:00:03 PM

Hello there, and first of all thank you for this very detailed and updated guide !
I'll probably start with one of your cyclone build, currently I htink i'm gonna go with Juggernaut which seems to be well balanced between damage/survivability. I will only use it for starter and switch to other build after. However, like others said before, do you have links of passive trees for path of buildings or any other builder than poeplanner which seems to be down right now ? Even a screenshot of tree would be enough :) In fact, I didn't really check in detail the tree and I don't know how to start eh eh |

@Lighty So whats the best Ascendancy for SC 3.0? The Q&A section wasn't updated and only shows best for 2.5.
Thank you for writing this guide! Looking forward to giving this build a go in 3.0! Planning to make it my first level 100 char! |
