Debating investing in Paradoxica over Shield right now cause DPS doesn't feel very high. Just been lvling as Cyclone and switched to Flicker once I got my chest today. Gems are under leveled though so I assume thats a big issue. I find times I'm not attacking bosses and assume its cause I don't have Minimum Frenzy charge but I see ppl w/out that. I see the Shield is recommended as first upgrade but DPS seems weak right now. Only doing T10 and bossing feels weak.
Edit: Kind of didn't take my lvl 77 into account on T10(77)map when I wrote this haha. Also noticed thats Maximum Frenzy not Minimum.
WHAT minimum ??? don't go for any minimum charges!!! that's screws the build upside down xD you go for maximum not minimum. and yes your gems are underleveled and lots of things need upgrading. personally, I literary upgraded every single shit in my gear before upgrading the weapon. I cleared all content with Scaeva Gladius, but back then I had Surrender, Ryslatha's coil, Awa Multi, Unnatural Instinct, etc. and then I upgraded my weap when I found a good one.
Great build, but i have few questions.
How would I sustain mana if i chose to play with Cyclone, so I would "-3 mana on channeling skills" on each ring and amulet?
Is it ok to use "-15 mana to skill" like cheap variant?
And thank you for your attention.
Hello,
(first, excuse me for my bad english)
Thanks for your build !
I'm "beginner" so I had to read all of the comments, the pastebins and poe.ninja for understand how to gear and other stuffs and to do the tree.
The other leagues, I done a cyclone impale build with +-40ex so I can compare only with this.
I really like the swiftness of the build ! very pleasant to farm maps.
But, I spent +- 50ex and I feel like very not tanky, and I feel my DPS is just "ok-tier" : perfect in maps but it's long for kill a boss.
And my problem is some mechanics just one-shot me and I don't know why, sometimes I die in t16 no-mods maps in 0.1sec and I don't see how.
I have trouble to hit the level 93 because of this.
I died on sirus awak 4, but I think I know his mechanics cause I always pass him with my old cyclone build..?
Maybe it's an oversight of gameplay ? I swap to blood stance when mono-target, I leap slam 2-3 times for get the endurance charges.. and I hit my 5 flasks on the fight.. Maybe other stuff ?
Maybe I have to swap on close combat for sirus fight ?
Can you check, please, my build and tell me what I have to do next for improvments ? https://pastebin.com/MBhTxrHw
For my DPS, I don't find foil with +600 pDPS atm, so I stay to paradoxica for the impale chance. I compare my PoB at yours and it say 12 mDPS, I think it's ok for mapping, I still search the solution for bosses.
For my tankiness, maybe I don't have enough life ?
I tried to change the abyssus for the crown (who have the 40% flicker !) but I have very less DPS... PoB says me 7.8 MDPS instead of 12 M with abyssus without flicker enchant...
Now I plan to get the awak multistrike, MPD and brutality, then the bottled faith, then the 40% flicker abyssus, then the level 21/q23 gems. Is it okay ?
When I started to seek gear, I was at +180% elemental in each resistance ! I took them down but I still have 170% fire, 150% cold... but it's useless, right ? So, what can I change for improve my gear ?
Really, thanks in advance if you take the time for answer me, I spent long hours at searching things about my build but I'm not experimented enough...
Have a nice day and continue please to do insane builds !
if you don't feel that tanky, use Fortify instead of melee phys sup/brutality. Also on some bosses, it's actually better to stay in sand stance and not blood stance for 50% more evasion. and yes, if you are not min-maxed. I suggest always swapping Melee splash with another DPS GEM like close combat 20/20. Build is working super good for me every league. so if it doesn't work for others then they are surely doing something wrong.
and As Grizzler said, have your molten shell on left click and hold it at all times. makes huge difference in tankiness. and you can see he says that you have better gear then him and yet he is doing just fine with leveling and sirus.
I would also suggest aiming to max chaos res, it really makes a difference in some boss fights like sirus.
Yo Blazer have you had the problem with this build that when you're attacking at 5 Frenzy charged, while attacking they keep going down to 1. It's like you're gaining Frenzy charges and it goes down from 5 to 4 then 4 to 3 and so on while it still has a 10 sec duration.
I don't quite understand what you mean lol. But Flicker consumes a charge every attack, despite of the duration.

Trying to update this char some more this week. In terms of raw upgrades should I look at Rys Coil or Unnatural Instinct first? Plan to move onto jewelry upgrades and Impale Watcher's Eye after those.

Hi. First thank you for the build.
I notice that you use the Brutality, Pulverise and Life gain on hit on your shield. Is this better than CoC setup?
that's just personal preference. i use this setup and put molten shell on left click for auto-trigger while holing.
BTW, what is the reason to use Brutality on shield? Pulverise for more enemies being affected by life on hit is reasonable, but is damage of reckoning so strong that it should be powered up by brutality? Culling strike instead of brutality, for example?
There once was an exile who found a map of infinite doctors.
