[3.15] 1h Impale Cyclone Slayer. Cheap league starter and strong endgame farmer. No required items.

POB:https://pastebin.com/U11bfcVm

I use the Fork POB that also calculates impale dmg. Exactly same gear, just different ascendancy. I've played as Champion and now after it was migrated on Std, swapped to Slayer. Comparing the two, Slayer is so much more squishy but also does less damage. Even after I've upgraded tree to 3.13 in POB, is still a damage difference. But only based on survivability alone, I'm more comfortable playing Champion.

Been playing with POB and even with the nerf on "master of metal" I still get more dps on Champion than on Slayer ( about 2 mil more) as well as more survivability. So I think I'll be going again the same path as the previous leagues and stick with Champion

Whats your POB for champiom 1h impale cyclone? Do u use the same gear just put points into different things?

i dont rly know what you mean by squishy.

you need to change the slayer nodes for leech. and if afterwords you go vaal pact you can reach 3k life on hit...

for defense in champion you get adrenalin when you get bellow 25%, good for not getting one shot, doubt it will be up most times. and you get 10% less damage taken if you taunt an enemy.

for slayer you get 10% less damage when leeching, thats allways... and enemies have -30% to crit multi.


also go for this league main even and add 10 enemies in proximity in pob for the 10 boss fight. you can only get more damage if you have adrenalin

Ah my bad
I just went through gear mods gem links and pob tree. Time to farm currency and get stronger
Thanks for help :)

Hi guys, any one have good loot filter for leveling?

yo could you generate the code instead of pastebin my "import from pastebin.." is broken would appreciate it alot!!

Thanks for your work on this build, it was invaluable to me during the interim race events (which is when I discovered it). Not only is this a solid build as is, but it is designed in a way that allows it to be open to tweaking - I see myself in future leagues using this build with its solid foundation and changing up a few things here or there for variety (2h run, axe run, other classes/ascendancies, etc).

You specifically call out Champion as a good alternative for boss-focused endgame, and I was wondering if that's still the case with the Champion nerfs.
I haven't completed the new endgame since the Conquerors were released, and with the introduction of the Maven, now seems like a good time to go for it. Do the Slayer buffs + Champion nerfs edge the Slayer out in this regard?

Isn't Daresso's Salute good for the build ? Or did GGG changed something and full life doesn't count for overleech anymore ?

General question: Why not talke jewels earlier? Are they so bad?

You need to be high enough level (for the passive skill points) and have the currency to afford them. Additionally, your general items should be somewhat good already.
Thats the limitation. So everyone will probably switch as soon as they can, but thats usually not early.

Fun build. Just would like to add that Devastator is a nice cluster jewel notable to have this league. Although the explosions don't chain much, it helps immensely in clearing higher tier Rituals. Feels very smooth and a much cheaper option to an explode-y chest.
