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

Could anyone suggest improvements to my char?
I feel like I die too easily.
What am I doing wrong?

In standard cyclone setup, what you guys think about chance to bleed against single targets, instead of conc. effect? It would boost dmg better for bosses? or better booster is conc. effect?

Lol. Chance to bleed doesn't even stand a chance.

Also, you can swap inc AoE and conc effect in your blue socket.
What would you swap in the red socket of CtB?

Well.. good point. Just was thinking about this chance to bleed, inc. dmg over time, dmg with bleeding etc

How are we generating Frenzy/Endurance charges? Sorry for the newb question thanks.

Frenzy by blood rage in utility setup. If you running it. Endurance, by warlords mark curse linked with CoH or Blasphemy.. your manage which way :)

Even if you invest very heavily in the bleed mechanic (stack bleed multipliers, use crimson dance, etc.), for bossing alone, conc effect will be much more damage.

Chance to Bleed offers mapping quality of life, because it gives you bigger bleeds, this translates into having to circle back less to kill stragglers, you can move on while they bleed to death. The damage from conc isnt even needed until you want to Guardians and Shaper, if you have a 500 pdps weapon and good gear, literally everything else melts in seconds.

If you want to use Chance to Bleed while bossing, you may as well play Crimson Cyclone: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1995010 . Classic 2hd RT cyclone is not based on bleeds, they are just tangential damage.

I think a lot of people are trying to find "the one" setup that is good for everything, I think what needs to be understood is that the optimal gems you use depend on factors - what ascendancy, what content you want to run, and how lazy or try-hard you want to make the build.

There are time I even put Endurance Charge on Melee Stun in my main links since I play jug and just dont wanna deal with enduring cry for low-end mapping! Right now my links are Cyclone-MPD-Fortify-Ruthless-Maim-Brutality and Im doing uber lab, I dont even need conc effect for Izaro and Argus, they last 2 seconds each, and fortify is there to make sure the run is not a rip, which is crucial for lab.

-Ruthless
+inc AoE/conc (swap only for t14+ bosses or t12+ with extra life/phys protection)
...is what I find the ideal setup for mapping.

4L DpS (+inc AoE, fortify) is more than enough for normal mobs, and once you pop your flasks and your warchief, mid tier bosses also don't stand a chance.

Today, I bought a second Starforge for the lulz.

(have 2x Weight of the empire in the tree)
Crazy single target on weapon swap, that's pretty sexy. ;)

The 5L Cyclone is still more than enough to clear trash.
(In beachhead finale, swap in conc effect and use the cyclone, not the HS)

Your gear is very good. Killing Guardians and Shaper should be easy for you.

I would aim for more defense with your next points. Damage should be no problem for you - so try to survive longer!

I had no problems killing guardians, but I couldn't do shaper, but most of it was due to me not knowing his mechanics, and by the time I figured it out, I was out of portals. Maybe next time I'll do better.

This. I already have enough currency to afford a second starforge, so I was wondering if I should swap for something really good for single target on my 6L. Does Heavy Strike work well on shaper and guardians?

Hey guys,

I am sorry - I do not know how to link my items here, but could somebody please check my gear and see, what I'm doing wrong? It feels like I'm too squishy and possibly not doing something right - I tried doing guardians but vaaled once are a no-go, and even some of the higher tier maps(t12-t14) just oneshot me.

What should I try to improve gear-wise, build wise or anything?

Please note that I've only started playing in 3.0, so I'm kinda new. Have about 10 ex to spend, if needed, to improve the gear or w/e.

Thanks!
