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

This build suck.

If you don't have currency for Kaom's Heart and other survivability items, you will be dying all the time like me. 89 lvl and mobs from 13+ tier can kill me on shot.

Thank you for nothing.

Hi guys.

Returning to the game after a long layoff. I am currently using an old character from Standard League but respecced for Cyclone.She's an Ascendant : Slayer + Raider

I have about 7400 hp as I specced into blood magic passive and got the juicy increased % life nodes gated behind the blood magic keystone.

I specialize in maces since I have a carryover mace from longtime ago.

Pure physical : cyclone-increased phys--brutality--maim--increased phys on full life----/increased area/conc effect. I don't used heralds or auras so I don't have to worry about elemental reflect.

I run a blood rage linked to enhance+empower+increase duration.

I find my DPS for my equipment and level (94) pretty low : around 80,000 unbuffed.

Could you guys look over my tree/gear/jewels/gem links and suggest further ways to improve my DPS?

Thanks

Get rid of Determination if you have trouble sustaining, it's pretty useless anyways.

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 :(

1. If you don't have crazy high armour on your gear, Determination does help a bit, but it doesn't do as much as it could. For its reservation cost, you should be able to find more meaningful stuff to add.

2. Imho "more Armour" isn't the solution for the problems a 2h build is facing.
Don't get me wrong, armour is great against normal attacks of normal mobs, but that's about it.

But a) I'd rather have this type of mitigation from Fortify, Lion's Roar Armour, Endurance Charges and a Basalt Flask.

And b) there are too many damage sources (elements, chaos, DoTs, explosions) in lategame that armour does nothing against.

That's why I started to stack damage avoidance (Evasion and Dodge/Spelldodge, since block isn't really available). On my Harbinger 2h dude (Name: GronkHammerhead), I went all the way to Acro/Phase Acro. Vaal Grace is great as well, Quartz Flasks are also pretty useful.

And of course you need some strong life recovery.
Berserker + Vaal Pact or Slayer Leech are the obvious choice, other Ascendancies will have trouble reaching similar sustain.

"

Also, since endurance cry doesn't sustain itself, how would i refresh it?

Just get used to click Enduring Cry from time to time.
Link it with blood magic if you cannot pay the mana cost.

You could have known this before.
It's an entry level build.
Unless you invest some serious currency, those tend to hit a wall in higher tier content.

(Though I certainly don't get "oneshot" by white mobs in tier 13+ maps. They do hurt, but then again, I have Vaal Pact for a reason.)

You can take Wrecking Ball instead of one of the Leech clusters, you should have more than enough leech to reach the cap.

Maybe swap into Axes, they have better DpS nodes.

Add levels and quality to Maim and Brutality.

Buy crazy expensive 3 damage stat + life jewels.

But other than that, you have pretty much reached the cap of what you can get.
Using pure physical damage and no auras is a pretty rough self-restriction.

Hi,

I'm quite new to the game and have a question. This Guide says to take Immortal Call but I just cant see where I get the endurance charges for it to give me the invulnerability.

Please help me to understand this.

Thank you!

In your gear list it doesn't even show you have a cyclone gem inserted, Only see an Earthquake....

For uber lab farming until I get into the mood to level up a duelist, should I go berserker or juggernaut with my marauder. Could anybody who played both tell me their pros and cons? I got a real hard time to pick up one up, thanks.

Hey guys, so I've improved quite a bit since last time you helped me out. I'm stuck at about t13 now, what should I improve next? I feel that my dmg is really low, the unbuffed tooltip says 28k :/

Hello.
Quick questions from unexperienced player:
1. Which gems I should up quality first?
2. Ruthless has no effect on DPS tooltip. Is it normal?
3. Which curse is recommended against bosses?
4. I can't buy decent 6L chest or decent DPS weapon, because I'm suffering in SSF league. Is there any relatively easy to collect divination cards that may help?
Big thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick reply!

How do I know if/when I have reached my life leech cap? I thought I grabbed some passives that increased my leech cap?

Hello guys,

I recently started to play PoE and this is my first build. I'm improving my character every day and I enjoy it but now I don't really know what should be the most effective upgrade. That's why I'm here.


This is my gear for now:



I am ok with defences even though I know that I must improve my jewels. Right now I have some difficulties with T10 maps because I can't deal enough damage to bosses.

I actually deal 24.669,4 DPS with my cyclone skill and activated auras and I think it's absolutely not enough! What's better? Buying Atziri's disfavour? 6L the weapon? I don't really know how to effectively invest my currency in order to get a massive improvement of my DPS.
