Sitting on 20ex right now but zero clue where to go from here, upgrade wise. I looked at rings, didn't see any upgrades, even with no intelligence added. I tried minotaur, struggled with him. Killed everything else, though.

What Cyclone setup did you use for Min? Ele focus+Conc?

If you don't have, a belly or kaoms are great to have for bosses. Kaom my personal choice but has no resists so requires balancing.

There is always the option of a second 6l disfavour or trying to get a higher pdps shaped/elder or even normal 2hand axe. Not likely in league but ya never know!

Abyss jewels are something you could sink some money into. Getting some well rolled ones or crafting yourself would be a good damage/hp boost.

I used Conc, no ele focus. Everything else was the normal setup.

I could get a Belly/Kaom's, I just thought Carcass was the best overall.

Abyss Jewels are also something I have to look into. Really specific rolls either don't exist, or cost an insane amount of exalt.

If that's really it, I guess I just need to spam vaults to level then for more points.

There is always the option of crafting your own abyss jewel.
Ones like...

This are a good all around choice(the hp and last two rolls not the second heh). Trying to get it with 40+ hp will be costly though. Abyss jewels aside, the old %life, %attack speed, %dmg jewels are still perfectly fine to use. If I recall Abyss jewels only beat out 7% maximum life rolls when they have.. 44+ flat hp on them or some such.

Carcass is the best over all but For the big hitting bosses like Min it's good to have that HP pool. I would definitely do conc/ele focus for bosses. They don't freeze/chill enough for hypo to beat out the high dmg Ele focus brings. It's a very noticeable difference.

Got a Kaom's Heart and used ele focus / conc on Minotaur. Killed him deathless in about 40 seconds.

Didn't feel like I was going to die at all, really. As long as you avoided his burrow and didn't stand in the rock downfall, nothing could have killed me.

Very nice! I was just going through all the posts so far for the 'comments from those who have used the build' section and remembered you had said this was your 7th build this league. :D

Glad to see you being able to do so well!



Side note:

I've been playing around with this jewel...

and I gotta say... that shit is stupid overpowered. Anything that lives past the first cyclone is nearly perma blind with just that 4%. This league has been so fun to play around with item wise!

Finally got another lich spawn! Face tanked it the entire fight and to my surprise he left something good! So now this is a thing...



Very interesting... will have to play around with it!

Have been using this build since level 28. Damage is really good. I am level 71 now and running t1/2 maps. My damage is fine but I am having trouble surviving. I only have 2.4k life which is a problem but my resists are all way above capped.
My IGN is SpinnyDinosaur if anyone would be kind enough to help me out, Cheers.

First, you took damage nodes before life nodes. Then you could at least link your boots and have your cast when damage taken setup in place.

You also dont have curse setup, or warchief/proctector.
Remove Ruthless, doesnt work with Cyclone, put fortify instead.

Help yourself and take a look at the guide again, specially the "Skill gems" and "Levelling Trees and such" sections.

You need to try and replace your Tabula. Since you only need a 5L for the totem, and even then, I'd argue a 4L is just fine as well (dropping faster casting), you should be able to pick up a belly of the beast for really cheap. That said, you'd also need to re-color your weapon to try and get that to atleast a 5 or 6L for cyclone.

-No CWDT + Immortal Call setup
-No curses
-Missing Jewel Sockets
-Very low life rolls on both rings and boots, none on amulet, semi-low roll on belt.
