Issues:
Damage & Incoming Damage


Just touched T13 and cant progress my atlas further because of the issues taking chunk damage as well as issues with not being able to simply pop rares & bosses at this point.

Appreciate all feedback & ideas.

Defensive notes
1: You have all these life nodes on tree but you have no life on your gear.
2: Your choice of ascendancy nodes are terribly bad. You choose to focus on totem-based nodes while using Cyclone as your main skill. Tasalio and Valako instead of Tukohama and Arohongui will provide consistent endurance charges and a massive amount of phys mitigation.
3: You barely have any armour despite being the class closest to the majority of all armour nodes on tree.
4: You aren't max block (Run Rumi's)
5: You're playing cyclone. Your main defense with this skill is killing them before they can attack you more than once.

Damage notes
1: Your ancestral totems bloat the fuck out of your DPS on POB. You do 1/3 of what little damage you did before.
2: You barely have damage nodes on tree. You have crit, you have crit multi, you have ele pen, you have increased ele, but you don't have increased phys. (Taking Butchery gives you a 10% dps boost, that's how bad it is.)
3: Shockwave provides incredibly unreliable DPS. You probably have small spurts of damage while mapping and feel like your build actually does damage when it really doesn't.
4: Your combination of gear, ascendancy, and skills don't complement each other. You're also attempting to scale damage with your totems while focusing on scaling your own damage.

The worst part of all this is that your POB isn't even setup against Sirus/Shaper. The DPS in your original POB is 1/12 of what it actually is. If you're going to summon your totems every pack, you might as well be a totem build at that point. If you want to hit enemies yourself and don't want to play summon the poo poles from the ground, then you should consider another skill or run Ngamahu's.

I think it's a good attempt at a build, but it fails in several key aspects, most notably relying on summons to boost your damage and ignoring core defenses in the pursuit of damage. Cyclone builds tend to not be very tanky to begin with because you need to boost your damage to a ridiculous degree because of how cyclone functions.
