I probably wouldn't try since it's essentially a 1-mod staff to multimod.

That said, if you brick it it's not hard to replace that one mod and it IS still okay for multimod if you can't get the double damage as well.

I would rather see you 6L it. ^^

You may or may not remember, I started out spinning, CwC Cylone is definitely budget viable, but you do notably less damage than the standing variant until you dump absurd amounts of money into the build.

That said, I also think your staff isn't very optimal for that build.

You would want a 1.3 base APS (Primitive Staff, Long Staff, Quarter Staff, or Lathi) staff that has CWC, Double Damage/Attack Speed, and chance to gain a power charge on crit.

With that, you can take the Doedre's off and put something better on in the glove slot. It takes you a couple seconds to spin up, but once you get going, Corpse Pact takes over and keeps the pain train rolling.

With that style of build, even with the lower DPS, it really isn't an issue because Cyclone giving you the ability to always be moving gives a ton of innate defense simply because you don't need to ever stop and you end up getting hit so much less often.

Another variation for people to think about if they want to go that direction is my current LL aura-bot mode:

I currently sport something like 800k dmg per ball, have 83/83/84 resists, about 7k ES, and have double curses. This achieves very high damage and survivability at a much lower budget when you start talking top-end gear.

I am trying to figure out how to make a triple support shaper weapon work to hold a pseudo 6l in my 1H weapon slot.

Something like this, but the damage loss is too severe at the moment (those 3 supports + the 40% more spell damage from an aetheric fossil would probably do it):

I've also considered other options to further improve the build, but they all get sky high in budget requirements real fast. +1 curse corruption presence is obvious. Could go for +1 shavs. The first one is 100 exa (and would lose me the free passive from annointing), the 2nd doesn't currently exist in league.

Right now, I think I just need to settle for finding a better belt and tweaking some of my jewels a bit.

There's a video for CWC+Cyclone with Doedre's Malevolence.

This is FAR more expensive than the self-cast variant. At least to reach the damage numbers with which I'm comfortable that is. The idea was to get more boss mobility to better farm Uber Elder and Aul. Still sitting at around 10 million DPS.

There are very good budget options though. Disintegrator + two cheap Circle of Anguish rings will easily get you over the 300k damage a ball mark. You are sacrificing survival, but with 5k life and 2k es you shouldn't be dying to anything that isn't a super juiced up red map.

I love the AG adaption you've thrown in. I might look at inserting that into my build.

Yeah, I've taken it pretty easy for the past week and a half, having already demolished the game way harder than I'm used to, I feel largely "done" with the league, so I'm kinda just in chill mode.

I think I can put some work into figuring out how to do this 1H 6l setup this weekend, when I do that, I will incorporate the AG into my build as well. I could do it now, but it would cost me something. If I figure out the weapon and move to a 6l CWDT setup in the chest, I end up with 2 open gem slots that I can use for AG + Meatshield, and then dump another 8 exa into the AG as you just said.

I'm not used to being this rich and spending this much money on a single character ><
