Hey Kira!

I'm using ur Ngamahu Cyclone Slayer build since 3.0!

Thanks for all updates u did...



The skill gems and passive tree for 3.7 will be updated in soon?

I'm asking because haven't time to play leagues since delve, so idk much about new gems like banner, impale effect etc etc etc

Ty, gl!

ps.:sorry for bad language, idk much english!

Skill trees are updated to 3.7 but gems have to wait till day 2.

Impale will not work with this build because you will only do fire damage. Impale is meant for physical damage builds.



So just July 02 u will update gems? Or second day of league (and its already updated *-*)!?

Ty again for answer!

You can run Enfeeble instead of Flammability for the curse setup. That greatly improves survivability.

You should get as much life on your rare gears as possible. By the time you hit level 90, you should have 6000 hp.

Flasks greatly improve your survival too. Check out the flask section.

P.S. Gems section is now updated.

Thanks for the update of the gems, I will do a few adjustments to my setup! I may try Enfeeble.

I will update all my rares to get some more HP.

Flasks are great, no doubt, but for now, unique flasks are still too expensive for me.

Thanks!

Hey there,

Loving the build thus far. Thanks for the updates to the Gems.

One question about the new gem setup though, is why you recommend Culling Strike linked with Ancestral Warchief/Protector + Leap Slam + Faster Attacks since we already have Bane of Legends from Ascendancy.. Is it just for the faster cast time for Leap Slam? Feel like I'm missing something.

Cheers!

I see that you've updated The gems, awesome! Btw, since I'm doing crit build, wouldn't Pulverise with Rage be better than with Close Combat and Combustion? We have Combustion already in Ngamahu. Also, why using Culling Strike with Leap Slam when we do have 20% cull in the ascendancy. Also in my opinion Fortify should be used in Leap Slam instead of cyclone. I'm sorry if I Sound rude, but I just want to know your thinking. Cheers :)

what about ele reflect maps, how can i do them? do i need something?

Yep. Impale does not work with the build cos it only works for physical damage.

And yes. The gems are now updated. :)

Culling Strike is useful if you drop Bane of Legends and go for Impact. If you picked Bane of Legends, you can replace Culling Strike with Faster Attack.

Should have added that into the guide to avoid confusion. Will do that. :)

No worries. :)

See answer for Culling Strike in the reply above.

Pulverise is an option but I don't like the slow spinning speed. Rage is listed in second gem setup for Cyclone.

As for Close Combat, it gives the most damage for bossing where as Combustion can easily swap with Concentrated for more boss damage.

Linking Fortify to Cyclone is mainly for QOL and it will be easier for new players coming to the game. If you are used to linking Fortify with Leap Slam, you can certainly do so and swap that with another red gem.

You will re-roll reflect maps. This build can't handle ele reflect.

Hey man what an absolutely amazing guide you have here. I wanted your opinion on something that I've been doing slightly different.

I'm currently running flesh and stone, flammability, and herald of ash. I have not been using blood and sand, and I am curious why you prioritized that over flesh and stones huge defensive bonus provided by blinding. I know you mentioned replacing flammability for flesh and stone. tldr... is blood and sand.. in your opinion, that important?

Again no criticism, just curious on your thoughts, and again thank you for the effort you've put into making a really well written guide.

Also, thinking in it I think Ill try running all four for next little bit and see how that turns out. With the -8 mana ring and blood magic on leap slap, my totems cost 3 mana and blood rage is only 8, and I have a whopping 32 mana left in reservation! Ill let ya know how it goes.

Devoto's helm is quite expensive this league. Are there any temporary alternatives we can use?

What about Vaal Pact now after they removed the 100% increased recovery?
You didn't take it in ur PoB.
