(3.2) [Lighty] 2H RT Cyclone: Dope for Beast League & Lab™

Can anybody take a lookat my char and let me know if I'm doing something wrong?

I'm farming tier 7/8 maps right now, could push harder but kinda wan't to level up a bit more before that.

I have 75% in all resistances except for chaos. I have 7.5K armour, with 40% physical damage reduction, the tooltip tells me I have like 70 k DPS approx.

I could improve gem set up in gloves and boots.

I Have Hezmana's equipped but I also have an Ngamahu's Flame. Which one is better?

I still cannot afford Atziri's Disfavour.

I am currently Lvl 85 and seem to struggle with bosses with high HP.
Also i find myself on low life pretty often, which doesn't feel right.

Survivability:
You could have more life on your gear.
Boots - 30 -> 80
Gloves - 45 -> 80
Rings - negative and none -> 80
Amulet - none -> 80 (but I'd keep that for farming)
Torso -> Keep or Belly/Kaom's

DpS:
Other than swapping into 2h Axe and Disfavour, remove Bloodmagic gem in Cyclone, use it on mana, you have specced into mana leech, use it. Get rid of Determination if you have trouble sustaining, it's pretty useless anyways.
Use a DpS gem instead, like maim or added fire. Also a 6L would help tremendously.

Champion:
Not a huge fan of your Ascendancy Choice, I'd have chosen Slayer and put Fortify on Leap Slam or in the 6th Link of Cyclone. Slayer's leech is incredible for Survivability, and he deals more damage.

Jewels:
Get rid of your Survival Instincts Jewel, use a %HP/Damage one.
Get 6-7% life on every jewel.

Endurance Charges:
Cannot find Enduring Cry in your Gems, how are you generating EC for IC?

Belt:
You have two sources of Intimidate (Belt and Ascendancy), why?

DpS against Bosses:
That's the way it is in 3.0, they have double HP.

Guys, I'm struggling to push past t10. Can you take a look at my profile and tell me where to improve? I've got about 200c.. Thanks!

With Fortify and BM in your 5L Cyclone, you basically only have a 3L.
That's just not enough Damage.

Especially since you're missing the 40% more damage from your Ascendancy.
Without Vaal Pact, I'd respec out of 100% leech.

Also, as above: Life rolls on gear.

Also: Shit jewels, upgrade into life / damage.

So I've decided to not run cyclone on blood magic.
I originally was using Hatred + haste. (running 100% of my mana)
Then running cyclone 5 link off of blood magic gem.

I've changed that to Hatred + Herald of Ash, gaining a socket for a gem in my 5 link for cyclone.




Is Ruthless Support good? Is that what I need to put in my fifth link?

Also I'm wary about Faster Attacks, as it was originally in the gem setup given on page one, but now isn't.

I take a massive TT DPS loss when removing Faster Attacks...

Your rings/amulets looked really lacking, when I briefly looked over your gear.

Hey guys.

I made a Duelist/Slayer(lvl87) following this build and i am unsure now how to continue my tree.
https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/SiXRaX/characters


The last node i took, was the extra frenzy charge. Seemed worth it, because while clearing i am always at full frenzy stack and it gave me about 6k extra tooltip-dps.

Lifewise i am currently at 5,7k, with updated gear (most is at ilvl 70ish) i could propably go beyond 6k.

I am currently on maptier 8 which is way under my xp-level. Because of that i cant realy tell if i need more dps or more life in the near future.
At the moment i kill and clear quite fast and only die to stupidy.

-------------

There are two clusters i wanna get:

DPS - "Splitting Strikes" (2H Axe Damage)
Def - "Purity of Flesh" (Life and Chaos Res)
There are also a handfull of minor lifenodes in reach, which i havent taken yet.

Is it worth going 4 int nodes to get the chaos res and life? I propably can unspec the 30Int node if i take this route.

-------------------

But what should i do next?

My current plan is, to go for dps and getting the minor life nodes if i run into trouble. Doing the chaos res and life cluster at last.
If my gear allows it, i would also unspec the single-res nodes i allready took.



-------------------

Bleed vs Maim?

The other thing i am unsure about is whether i take maim or bleed as cyclone support. The guide prefers bleed and supports the totem with maim.
My totem uses "damage at full life" instead and i have maim in my cyclone setup. Switching it with bleed lowers my tooltip-dps sifnificantly. Even tough i know this shouldnt be the main-indication for potential damage i stick to maim beacause of that.
But using bleed would propably proc the "more damage with ailments" mods i have in my tree.
But like i said, i am unsure.

Any suggestions there?

Hi! Quick question:

What do you think about Vitality Void? I dont need mana leech (Hezmana) and could spend 2 more points to simple life leech. That way i could get 3 more points ... is Vitality Void (specialy increased life leech rate) that good?

Any help please?

Leveling should I rush the AOE part or not? I mean the templar nodes

Thank you VERY much for your help, great tips!! Some question came up after reading :D

Does that mean, i could also do without armour on my gear? Or because of some sort of diminishing return? Gear with the right values but without armour is way cheaper :(

I actually assumed the base duration would suffice, shame on me...
So i would incite either blood rage and endurance cry before swirling?
Also, since endurance cry doesn't sustain itself, how would i refresh it?

Oh... a relict of long forgotten days.
I must've left it in because of the increased phys. damage and the res :/
Will be swapped out as soon as i find something in trade :)
