You should be able to gear this for around 15ex (prolly less) in a new league.

only cost about 15ex on new leauges.

BoR, Aegis Aurora and Soultaker for < 15 Ex total?

At the beginning of Ramapge, BoR was at 6-8 Ex (probably because that WoE Cleave build was so popular), Aegis about the same, Soultaker at 15-20 Ex (?), Raibowstrides 1 Ex, iirc.

We're looking at more than double that number.

My axe I bought was 6ex 3-4 weeks into league, my BoTR was 5ex at the same time. The rainbows 1ex, the aegis was also 1 ex.

My Math is solid, as I kept track of what I paid for what, in case I need to resell. People seem to assume XYZ is the medium everyone buys gear from. Based upon that I could see how you got those numbers. I however look in trade chat as well as group boards and picked every piece of my gear up very cheaply. The stats on all of it sucked when I bought it, amazing what paying less than half price plus 1 or 2 divines will do to save ex.

I am a bargain hunter. =)

So your item prices can be obtained by every new player?
With what amount of time to find those offers?

And it's no Whirlwind build because it's no Whirlwind skill. Cyclone has a different mechanic than Whirlwind had.

They can be obtained by ANYONE with patience, and common sense. I think the mistake a lot of people make in this game is over paying for items as well as always trying to buy the absolute top end rolls. Those top end rolls come with a hefty price tag. I specifically look for the worst rolls imaginable because 1) its "almost" always cheaper and 2) Mathematically there is only one direction from the bottom an item can go via the use of a divine, up!

So to reiterate it is my opinion that ANY new player can obtain these items if they possess a little bit of common sense, patience, and drive. I secured all of my items in under 4 days of checking trade chat, posting in trade chat as well as placing ads on the group board in Sarn. I would estimate conservatively that I spent about 8 hours total over the four days in question procuring those items.

In my opinion almost everyone now uses google, and game forums to familiarize themselves with the games they are playing. So no, I do not think it is a stretch to assume they are somewhat familiar based upon the plethora of information readily available at their fingertips thanks to the first rate gaming community we have here at POE.

As far as the name I gave the build , it is simply the name of my character which was chosen due to the way he "whirls" around in a circle. Hopefully I have answered all of your questions. Should you desire additional edification regarding the build I was asked to post, feel free to post here or contact me in game. My IGN is XxWhirlwindxX.

Also it should be pointed out this build is the result of extensive testing and theory crafting by myself, fellow players, and guild mates. This build failed miserably many times before we finally got it right. Again, thanks for reading and for your valuable feedback.
