(3.2) [Lighty] 2H RT Cyclone: Dope for Beast League & Lab™

How do we use blood rage correctly? I mean, I'm just taking a ton of damage when its active.
Thanks for the reply! I'll see if I can test more with a max bloodlust against a sturdy boss like Atziri's and post the results against a flat added fire.

I have a question guys. I never played melee character before, only magic. And I have no idea how mechanic for cyclone works.

The build is not cheap one considering atziri axe and/or good 6l armor. The dps tooltip is 30-40k in 6l. Are these 30k dps enough for 78-79 hard maps ?

Because if we compare it to some magic builds which can easy get 100-200k dps..

Sorry if the question is stupid, but as I said I never played melee, and these 30k tooltips look very strange to me.


The tooltip for Cyclone is actually misleading. There's a few videos you can find on YouTube demonstrating this. Usually the actual DPS is at least double the tooltip for Cyclone. This is demonstrated on Piety in a number of videos showing the difference. My tooltip is around 40k (50k now with my gem changes) and everything is a breeze on all maps including atziri.
Strange Bloodrage doesn't damage me at all. I do find that bloodrage hardly increases my dps at all (maybe 1k), so I don't really use it anymore.

As for the CwDT question earlier, make sure to line up the level requirements of the gems. Curses do work with 2.0 and CwDT.

my guess is you need more armor since you lose 4% of life/ES as physical damage with it on

Doomsower is a great as a starter weapon, but eventually you'll want to be looking to upgrade it to one with better rolls or to a well rolled rare. Both of those will cost you an ex or more so I'd hold off on upgrading your weapon unless you run into a deal that's too good to pass up. You should focus on upgrading other pieces of your gear before anything else.

As Boltonsquads suggested, a 5link will really do wonders for you and are very affordable. 5l chests are relatively cheap, so grab one with a good base and high item level (60 being the bare minimum imo) and proceed to Alt+Regal, Alc+Scour, and/or Chaos it until it's relatively decent.

Other than that I'd look into upgrading your gloves, flasks, and jewelry in that order. If you want to include more uniques, look at the "Required Gears" and "Helpful Uniques" section of the guide. Lighty's recommendations are all very strong options.

Ah thanks!, should i instead try to get 5 line on Doomsower? due to socket increase dmg from doomsower, or it does not matter which gear i can use gem on?
