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

Volley and GMP wouldn't stack, right? Assuming they don't does anyone have any idea of volley would be a big difference over GMP? Or at this point are we just waiting for it to go live so we can test?

Hi what do u think about a combination with Volatile Dead.
In the preview trailer we saw a Cyclone CoK Volatile i think. Should be doable with Ngamahu as well.
What u think?

Like this build, but got one question.

Why Point blank ? doesnt that just work for ranged attacks ?

I supose it works for Ngamahu's Flame, but what is the point in getting this node so early as you build suggest ?

Hey, I'm more or less new (started end of harbinger) and wanted to try a cyclone build next league.

One thing i noticed after the patchnotes: Is the pantheon for mapping still needed with reflect damage beeing nerved?

"

For general mapping:
Soul of Yugul (Minor God) - 20% reduced reflect damage taken

I suppose i can pick another pantheon now?

Point Blank is for Projectile attacks. Ngamahu meatballs are projectiles and you mostly kill things in melee.

I see, but I was wondering why the guide suggested to put point in it so early, since Ngamahu's Flame is a lv.55 item

Thanks for clearing it up :)

You want to ignore the fire damage, point blank, iron grip(whatever its called), avatar of fire, until you get ngam flame.

Why do you avoid the two jewels on bottom and one on the left above RT? Jewels are super powerful late game...is it just not worth the 2 node cost per jewel?

I was trying to fit them in but I'm not sure what to drop...

Is there any good levelling alternative for Sunder? I'm not a big fan

I remember reading somewhere that there is a limit to the number of projectiles that Volley will support but can't be sure. Guess we will find that out in 21 hours time. :)

And yes. We have to wait for it to go live to know how well it perform. Everything before that are just speculations.

Someone has raised that in an earlier post and it definitely looks viable. And if the damage from those volatile balls turn out to be good, I expect Vaal Breach gem (if it worked with Volatile Dead) to grow in popularity during boss fights.

That is correct. For general mapping, Soul of Gruthkul or Soul of Garukhan will be good replacement for Soul of Yugul.

Those 3 sockets were not picked mainly due to cost of investment. You need 3 skill points for 1 socket, and in total you will need 9 skill points.

You can also level with Molten Strike (with Wildfire jewel), Cleave or Earthquake.
