[3.17] For Slayer / Champion - Ngamahu Cyclone / Consecrated Path / Tectonic Slam
|
Awesome guide! My first build and play through...
btw, I read every page of this thread! |

" Thank you and wow, that is 4000+ replies... I salute you for that.  |

Thanks for the constant replies Kira played your build in HC in Abyss got to 96 did lab endless times and died because I messed up on a uul-thul breachlord totally my fault. I did farm over 100 exalts in HC in the process.This is the main reason I am Hyped for the next league with this build also. Chieftan had me thinking but thanks to confirming what my first reaction to slayers changes where the same as mine that nothing really has changed. Regarding getting a Red dream and a Xophs I think with the cards Xophs might be okay to get but the red dream I think its going to be a pain to get only time will tell.
No questions from my part just a thanks from a Lurker who reads this thread alot and wants you to keep updating. /cheers |

" Hey any tips for Hardcore with this build? My plan is to use it for league start! |
|

Kira, whats your take on the new ascendent tree? Think taking a slayer hydrid with either raider/champ/chieftan be superior to just slayer?

" Sorry to hear about your HC death. :( For HC game play, Istrongly recommend running Enfeeble (if you are not already) curse instead of Flammability. It will greatly improve the survivability. At this point, if there aren't any more changes on the announced ascendancy changes, the guide should be 3.2 ready. :) ____________________________________________________________________________ " You can check out the Hardcore game play section in post #2. There are some useful information shared by other HC players who have played the build. :) ____________________________________________________________________________ " If you are referring to the Scion version of this build, Slayer + Raider will still be the better choice. With the restoration of Culling Strike to Scion->Slayer, you no longer need to rely on totem to deal that final blow on bosses. |

So we should get Avatar of Fire until we can obtain Xoph's Blood right? Right when we start using the axe?
Also in your leveling tree you get leech quite early, it this really worth it at league start? And what do you think about using dual wield. Imo dual wield sunder is better until you can afford the axe and respec later. You also get Iron grip and Point Blank quite early (level 50), any reason for this? Shouldn't we get it once we use the axe? Thanks in advance! |

" Yes. You will go for Avatar of Fire skill tree until you obtain Xoph's Blood. It is perfectly fine to dual wield Sunder and re-spec into the build later. As long as you don't deviate too much from the skill tree, resulting in costing lots of regret points to re-spec. I was leveling this build by dual wielding axes in SSF Abyss league using Sunder and the exact same skill tree (I didn't pick any dual wield/one hand nodes) and it was doing fine getting to level 55. You can also run the build as physical Cycloner using any high damage 2H rare axes till you can switch to Ngamahu. Obtaining the leech early is pretty much a "get it and forget about it" thing. Though you won't have good damage to truly benefit from it, but it will still help a little. With regards to the skill trees, it should be level 55 and not 50. It was a typo over there and I have it corrected. Thanks for the highlight. :) |

Hey Kira,
Me and my gf used ngamahu for 3.1, went really well with all content being viablo and smooth. She wants to play cyclone again in 3.2 but as of right now not sure which ascendancy to play with the upcoming changes. Right now I think interesting options include scion (raider/slayer) as you stated, juggernaut, chieftain, and slayer with obvious pros and cons for each. Would love to get your input regarding the different setups when possible. Thanks |
