Been really enjoying the build!
Also been trying to buy a weapon but nobody seems to be selling one with fortify and hits can't be evaded..

I'm glad to hear you are liking it! It's near the end of the league so most high end items will be hard to find. In this case, it might be in your best interest to try to craft one yourself (refer to crafting naisu staff section of the guide) and find a trusted crafter to finish it off with multimod -> hits can't be evaded, etc.

Yeah that is the route i went after trying to buy one for a while.
This is what i ended up with crafting myself:



Now im looking at ways to improve my character even more.
Also been trying to save up for a headhunter but i don't think that will ever happen.
Thanks for the great build been loving it.

Congrats! No worries, just keep playing and maybe one day. :)

3.8 Update (so far):

The AoE Nerf to Cyclone doesn't hurt the build much at all since we don't scale super hard into it. Pulverize hurts a bit but now we will do even more damage so it's fine :). More details to come soon as I update the guide once 3.8 Patch Notes hit!

Full thoughts on 3.8:

The AoE Nerf to Cyclone doesn't hurt the build much at all since we don't scale super hard into it. They are buffing the range nodes on the tree so that's pretty Pog. Pulverize hurts a bit but now we will do even more damage so it's fine :).

Since Shockwave was not touched at all, the build is still in a very strong spot. It might even be an even better/easier league start since people will overreact with the other nerfs and gear for the build will be even cheaper ;P. Good luck and have fun in Blight! See you around here or on stream~ I'll be working on a new guide (hopefully released earlier in the league) and my service thread (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2575156).

I'm going to try this with a chieftain and change out a few of the melee gems for elemental and fire damage. Will let you know how it went.

Legit =D

With the change in the -mana cost reduction craft should i use the channeling craft or the non channeling?

how does it perform in 3.8?
and how are blighted maps? :)

Hello!

With the splitting of -mana cost reduction for non channeling and channeling skills, we can only craft up to -3 mana cost for channeling skill for each piece of jewelry (2 rings and 1 amulet). If you are running into mana problems, you can drop the banner for a bit extra mana to work with. Another nice addition new to blight is anointing, in which you can anoint Lucidity, which gives -3 mana cost of channeling skills and 30% increased damage. Hope that helps~

Hi,

Despite the nerfs to cyclone, -mana, aoe, the build is still performing very well! we got a solid damage boost to compensate for the loss of AOE. It doesn't hurt as much for this variant compared to other more AOE focused cyclone slayers because we don't go too hard on AOE investments but rather pure speed, and overall damage with cyclone + shockwave, so it's up there as one of the strongest melee/aoe builds. Another plus is that the items this league are muuuuch cheaper since people are overreacting to the meta shift ;P.
