[3.17] For Slayer / Champion - Ngamahu Cyclone / Consecrated Path / Tectonic Slam

I don't understand why I have shit dps when I'm running top gear recommended and ran the skill tree as recommended, using carnage heart but didn't think dps would be 30k. Horrible

Heard this ring would be amazing for this build.

I am not particularly good at this game to see what is what, but I know you would have to set your profile public for anyone to be able to see why (Honestly, I don't even know what it looks like if it was private). I don't have the best gear but sure got more than 30k dps with Carnage Heart.

Shaper down!

My first shaper ever, died 2 times
(first time to void guy and second one due to bad possitioning, overall smooth run!)
Thank's again for this great build :)
It's time for Uber Atziri now!

hey nice build! just one question: why not going for impact ascendancy instead of headsman for the 30% constant AoE, since we dont care about phys reflect and have enough dmg for clearing maps?

Why don't You pick "By the blade" talent?

Wouldn't it massively increase damage as it supports both physical and ailment damage (fire)? Also it's on the main building path, so no there's need to waste any points on the way.

I'm a noob so correct me please, if I'm wrong:

Great guide BTW! :)

Why do some of you guys link fortify to cyclone instead of melee phys and link fortify to leap slam?

I would rather shoot myself in the head twice than leap slam all the time to get fortify. Also the vast majority of your damage comes from the balls and not from cyclone.

Maybe my dps is only at 30k,because I'm using a berserker marauder and not a slayer hmm.

Heyhey great build, just tried Shaper. Sadly my damage seems a bit low with my 5-link.
Got him to phase two but died to tons and tons of pools on the ground (Can emergency tank the slam with Taste of Hate).

Could probably kill him but I guess I'll wait until I get a 6-link OR the +dmg cyclone helmet.
Too much work yet and Phase 3 isn't really easier .D

Thanks btw, loving it. Even though I'd go for a 6-link before Xoph's blood next time.

Good evening

I have been using this build with great success (even though I'm pretty new to the game)
Thank you for creating it !

I am however hitting a bit of a wall at T14-15 map bosses
Getting one shotted more often than I think is reasonable

I have decent enough gear I think, and not sure where my issue lies

Would you kind;y take a look ?
What should I be upgrading first ?

Thanks !

PS. I think in the above build I have Molten Strike instead of Increased Duration in my boots: leveling it for a single target damage option

Your life pool is only 5400. You will want to aim for 6000. Also, running Enfeeble curse will greatly improve survivability too.

Check out the Recommended Rares section for preferred rolls on the rare slots.

Roll anti-freeze on your quick silver flask. You will hit this flask very frequently and you will be immune to freeze during this period.

You can replace basalt flask with Wise Oak. Just ensure your overcap fire resistance is the highest.

Switching from Carnage Heart to a high life roll rare amulet will be good too.

Getting all jewels to have life % roll will also improve your life pool.

Aim for 6000 life pool and at least 3000 armor for end game maps.

Opal ring is good for the build. You can check out the recommended rares section on preferred rolls for the ring slot. :)

Grats on the Shaper kill!

Remember to check out the flask setup under Uber Atziri kill section before you attempt her. You will need a slightly different flask setup when you fight her.

The tree was created with balance in mind and all damage and life % nodes are within 1 skill point reach. You can definitely tweak it to your liking. :)

Partially true on the damage side. Depending on your gears, Cyclone damage varies from 40% to 60% of your total damage output. :)

Your character profile is hidden so I am not able to assess why you only have 30K dps.

What I can guess is that you only have 5L. Besides that, your gems are not at 20/20 and your character level is below level 90.

You can open your character for public viewing so a better assessment can be made.

Also, Berserker will have different skill tree as compared to Slayer because Berserker requires Vaal Pact in order to survive whereas Slayer do not need Vaal Pact at all.

Glad you are enjoying the build.

You can do what some players did with a 5L. They replace move fortify to leap slam and use a damage support gem in the chest piece instead. This way you will have same damage output as a 6L but you will need to use leap slam to proc fortify.

Going for 6L chest is definitely fine since you can still kill Shaper using Avatar of Fire skill tree. :)
