This is truly insane... I replaced Blasphemy / Punishment now with Blood and Sand and Flesh and Stone / Maim... and also put in Pride and still use War Banner... all active leave me with 15 Mana, which is enough for Cyclone as I have -7 mana on ring.
And the damage is insane now... although the tooltip DPS of Cyclone went down, the overall damage output is just scary crazy, Cyclone melts everything even faster!

I'm playing a similar build, running Dread Banner, Blood and Sand, Flesh and Stone+Maim, and Blasphemy+Vulnerability.
Blas/Vuln reserves 35% but pride takes 50% so I'm unable to test this out. Is the damage on Pride worth it over Blas/Vuln? And are you running something to reduce mana reservation cost, or am I missing another difference?
So uhm Hey? This is literally my first Guide so i highly appreciate critic or discussion in the comments (oh and im not a native english speaker, so please forgive me if i have any gramma or spelling mistakes). If this is somewhat important i play Path of Exile since the end of Incursion and have now near 900h played (i still don't really know what i'm doing lol), but oh well to the build we go.
Oh and this will be my League Starter.
I ABONDED THE CHARACTER FOR NOW - NOT BECAUSE THE BUILD IS WEAK BUT I WANT TO PLAY A LIGHTNING TRAPPER SO NO MORE UPDATE FOR NOW!!!
Change Log: ! Any changes will be posted here, so read it first !

What is PoB [Path of Building]?
Spoiler
Path of Building or PoB for short, is an offline build planner programmed and maintaned by Openarl. To download the Program just click here. To import my Build into PoB follow these steps: Go to the bottom of the Guide and copy the Pastebin link --> now open Path of Building and click on [New], you will now see the Skill tree --> click on [Import/Export Build] ---> click [Import from Pastebin...] ---> Paste the before copied Pastebin link ---> click [Import] and [Import] again. Done.

Problem with the Unique Body Armour Bronn's Lithe!
Spoiler
Because this Body Armour is Evasion based you have very little chance to get your right colors, you need 1 Green, 4 Reds, 1 Blu. So you would need on average about 6000 Chromatics with a chance of 0.01655% to succeed. But there is a other way to get your needed colors with the Jewellers Method (you need to have the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Socket craft unlocked to do this method) (you could still try it with a few chromatics maybe you are insanely lucky). How does the Jewellers Method work (Video from MbXtreme), first at all DON'Tlink you Bronn's Lithe before. You go to your crafting bench in your Hideout, now you need your FIRST, SECOND and THIRD Socket to be Red](for this you just use the craft atleast 3 red Sockets) after that you go to the [Four Sockets] craft and put that on the Bronn's if it is Red you succeeded and go for the [Fife Sockets] craft, if you did not succeed you go back to [Four Sockets] because this will remove the fourth socket and will keep the three red sockets put on before (you do the same for the FIFTHif it fails you go one step back if it succeeds you go to the next Socket), you do this as long as it takes for you to get your FOURTH and FIFTH Socket red and blue, then you put on the [Six Sockets] craft and hope that it gets green, if it somehow roles blue or red you go back to [Five Sockets] and try again. If you did it correcly you now have a Bronn's Lithe with these Sockets:
Gloves - Buffs/Portal Lightning Golem /Flame Golem Vaal Haste (Only Vaal Haste not the Haste Aura!) Blood Rage Portal

Leveling Section:
Spoiler
Level with two One Handed Swords or one Two handed Sword.
Follow the leveling Trees.
Use Ancestral Protector ASAP.
Take Cleave or Ground Slam until you can take Sunder at level 12.
Level with Sunder until you get Cyclone at level 28, take Ancestral Warchief (drop Ancestral Protector).
If Cyclone feels to slow/clunky keep using Sunder but level Cyclone in an offhand weapon
Get Movement Speed boots as early as possible same for Adrenaline Quicksilver Flask.
Keep on Following the Guide, use the leveling section in the PoB (down left corner you can change the tree) and Level up Cyclone and the support gems for it.
Get and Bronn's Lithe as soon as you can (if it's not to expensive and try to 5 link it, then definetly use Cyclone. Have Fun.
(im really bad at leveling sections i hope this somehow helped you a bit, if you are a complete beginner watch beginner Guides from Woolie or other YouTubers like Zizaran or RaizQT
