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

Read a bit about blood magic being a dps loss. I've been following the slayer path tree from the original port and now wondering if it's still viable for late end game content. What are some thoughts on this? Thanks!

This build doesn't really "need" auras, they are just nice to have, because... TOOLTIP!
You will most likely not have resistance penetration, so your hatred and herald of ash DpS will get reduced quite a bit by resistances in lategame.

With BM keystone, you trade this "paper DpS" for:
*35% life
*No need to ever worry about sustain

If you had to use BM gem before, it's straight up better, imho.
If you can sustain on mana, you loose some DpS, but it doesn't really matter.

I thought beforehand I'd use BM keystone for levelling and drop it later.
Now I killed everything in this game except shaper/uber atziri, and "later" never happened. ;)

This build is absolutely nuts. I just went from 1-75 in 4 days, and I'm a pretty newbie player by most accounts.

I switched over to Starforge at around 70 and was able to do t11 Shaped strand maps in a couple of mins without ever dying. I can't believe how powerful this build turned out to be. Already crushing content my 94 RF totems build had to do slowly.

Quick question. I haven't really put many points into life yet (only 4,200hp), and I will be from here on out, but in the meanwhile what flasks can I use for boss fights? I just got one shotted by the promenade bosses and although i'm sure a couple thousand hp will help, is there anything other than Rumi's that would really help my surviveability in the meanwhile?

Also, Since I can't do elemental damage with Starforge, I went BM, and scrapped both Hatred and Herald of Fire. Does it also make molen shell fairly pointless? What else should I be running?

I currently am running:
cyclone(q20), melee phys(q20), brutality(q20), increased area of effect(q20)/concentrated effect(q20), and brutality.

CWDT-Immortal Call-Molten Shell-increased duration

Blood rage-Leap Slam-Fortify-faster attacks

Ancestral warchief-melee physical-maim-conc effect

Summon lightning golem (Not sure if this helps much, but it gives mobs a different target sometimes which seems to help)

Any advice?

Thanks!

Thanks

how do you get endurance charges?

How can I upgread my gear for more dps and survival?

And... why boss Life leech in Wasteland Map more, then my dps? I play in party with Cyclone Slayer and we cant kill him.( He always on 50-100% HP, and killing us for 2 hits.

Hey, in a atziri's disfavour what link would you drop (could afford 5l only), btw should i use a kaom or a belly 6l?
Thanks.

I like this setup:

Anyone else having problems with shaper on this build? i've been doing guardians and i haven't had any problems with any of them save for phoenix but that's due to my isp derping around and rubberbanding me back to the explosion.

It could be just my ISP but i have issues dealing with shaper, specifically, in phase 2 where i tend to run out of areas to position the vortex balls. i am based in PH so i use the japan gateway. i'd be lucky if i get a ping of around 98ms but due to a recent storm, there were some breaks in the backbone so our international routing is borked. I had several instances where i would get hit by the shaper smash even if i max-range leap slam twice because of a lag spike.

any tips and tricks to handling shaper would be very helpful as this is the first char that i'm doing that has been able to reach this content. i never really pushed my chars before so it's quite fun to finally challenge end-game content instead of the usual t12-13 farming that i usually do.

current stats
10k armor with determination
7.3k life
capped ele res

slayer full phys cyclone variant
cyclone>damage on full life>brutality>added phys>maim>ruthless/fortify (I swap in fortify for bosses who do telegraphed attacks as the flat 25% reduction in damage is just too good to pass up.)
as of now, i'm starting to focus on improving my survivability as i feel that my dps is already pretty decent.

POB puts my shaper dps at 240k with fortify, 312k if using ruthless

current gear

Is Bronn that bad in this build?

Cyclone slayer - should I be stacking more armor or life and resistances is there some kind of a standard Stat to watch for? Thanks!
