(3.2) [Lighty] 2H RT Cyclone: Dope for Beast League & Lab™
" Advice for gear is never that black and white. You should look at your build, the passives you have and what the weapon offers in terms of sheer damage and utility, and then decide for yourself what you should use before your end-game weapon of choice. It's often very situational and rather easy to figure out yourself. That said though, for most builds, Hezmana is going to be the best in slot weapon until Atziri/Starforge. Because most builds do not use Blood Magic and Cyclone is always mana heavy. Also Hezmana allows the use of auras still, as it only applies to attacks and on top of that, it's the passive version of Blood Magic, not the support gem, which means it won't have a massive increase in mana (life) cost slapped onto it when attacking. It's perfect for Cyclone builds. If only it had more damage, it would be a great end-game option too. Slap that Blood Magic on Attacks on Disfavour instead of bleed, and I'll forget all about my Starforge plan... Carry on my waypoint son, there'll be peace when maps are done. Lay your portal gem to rest, don't you die no more. 'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony this league. Try to make maps meet, you're a slave to the meta, then you leave.

" 25% chance to use blood before mana on attack skill? really? :D (bleed only 25% chance now) GGG can do this, they really have good fantasy. -Помню, как толпа крестьян убить меня хотела,

" No, I didn't mean 25% chance. I mean the line on Hezmana for the line on Disfavour. And 25% chance to bleed was a necessary nerf on Atziri, because of Crimson Dance. 100% would be massively overpowered now with the new potential damage boosts to bleed damage. You would get 8 stacks way too fast and efficiently with that weapon. Heck, Heavy Strike would be able to maintain 8 stacks on 5 sec duration per stack with 100% chance. Bleed from that skill is scary stuff. Also, 25% is more than enough without Crimson Dance, because bleed lasts for 5 secs. Cyclone easily refreshes it within 5 seconds at 25% chance per hit, which means it's doing all it can do at all times on the targets where it matters, bosses. Everything else will be in pieces before blood even gets a chance to flow. All that doesn't mean I think Bleed is good at all on Cyclone, I'm just saying. I will be using Crimson Dance personally. (Starforge 6L Cyclone - Melee Phys - Brutality - Ruthless - Maim - Faster Attacks) Because it's only 1 point and I get 25% chance to bleed from other passives for free anyway. (Sword cluster) Cyclone also is one of the skills that can easily stack to 8 with 25% chance, so even though bleed is a small portion of my damage, it does something at least. Total of x4 bleed damage on stationary targets (which is most on a melee build) for 1 skill point. Even if bleed deals only 5k dps, making that 20k just from 1 skill point is imo worth it. Also, Starforge is pure phys, bleed scales only from phys, so I gain more from bleeds than Disfavour/Hatred/Added Fire builds anyway. Won't spec into bleed, except for this one pointer.

" Maybe I don't understand what you mean, so excuse me but, what does Leap Slam have to do with Crimson Dance at all? I only Leap Slam in my build to apply Fortify and as mobility to dodge stuff.

" Uh.. unless you somehow managed to "jump jump jump" enough to apply 8 stacks of bleed every 5 secs back to back and make Leap Slam actually deal damage to scale that bleed on... I doubt that would work out very well for you. 6L Leap Slam - Brutality, Melee Phys, Chance to Bleed, Maim, Faster Attacks? New meta? Carry on my waypoint son, there'll be peace when maps are done.

" Well, let me know how that works for you. In the meantime, I will just keep spinning to win and jumping only to avoid getting 1 shot. Carry on my waypoint son, there'll be peace when maps are done.

Question from one who comes from playing a build that didn't feel solid... How's this build going for you? The content feels good and week explained....is the build working nice for you? It's easy to hear and to advance? I'm about trying it.
Thanks! |
