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

"

Close range on Pride and the complete Close Combat Support are not being supported, Impale isn't calculated in at all by PoB. so yes, its right as it is :)

Awesome! Thanks for the answer! :) I've been playing the build, lvl 83 rn. It's fun as hell!

Slayer is just looking so much better to me right now, surely the boss damage can't be that much worse? What's causing it to be less dps?

The "Impales you inflict last 2 additional Hits" node is a 40% more multiplier, so that's the mainreason. Also 20% increased Aura Effect does a lot of work with how many auras we use that give more damage. We also have 100% increased hitchance +20% increased damage taken for mobs that are taunted.

It just adds up overall

Hi, this will be my first melee character, and I would like to try champion. The leveling tree link you provided is complete for end game. Can someone please tell me the order of major skill nodes to get so I have a general idea where to go first in the tree.....even for the first 60 points or so would help a ton. Thx.

Leveling tree's are in the PoB pastebin.

Unfortunately, I only have a PS4 and an IPad so I can’t download POB. Can someone tell me the best major node order to get for the first like 60 points?

Hey buddy, thanks for the build guide!

I got Shaper down now, the damage we do is insane.

But im only sitting at 5,4k life now, thats a bit too low for my taste.
Still there is plenty room to upgrade my gear, so i see what i can get when i fight my way to UberElder.

I dont know if you already mentioned it, but what Helmet Enchantment would you take? Cyclone attackspeed or Cyclone damage?



Thanks again and cheers!

One question regarding Phaserun.. so before or during the cyclone it does not really work, it always goes off also the damage goes instantly down.

The buff does not keep up during the cyclone

^ this. I really don't understand this interaction.
I suspect the damage buff to stay while not visible ? But it's only a 0.2s buff without frenzy.

close combat + the knockback of lion's roar doenst really works well ?

Glad to hear it's working well :p I'd go for the attack speed roll, since we can proc the impale stacks way faster this way. Attackspeed is key afterall.

As mentioned, I usually use it if I run from pack to pack or whenever I'm in big masses of mobs (with Bloodrage up you will have 3 stacks, therefore you can use the buff quite a bit. It's all about getting big chunks of damage in which are saved via impale an then triggered from the hits that come afterwards. If you find it too minor, you can obviously change it up, but I use phase run quite frequently for traveling and bursting purposes.

If anything stays alive in your Cyclone you will automatically move towards it, so the damage increases. On endgamebosses knockback doesn't even work :p
