[1.3.x] Sando's Crit CI Marauder (1M DualStrike / 425k Cyclone)

Hi. Welcome to Sando's Crit CI Marauder Guide Thread


  • You can master critical with this build.
  • You can choose Cycloe, Dual Strike, Reave, or Flicker Strike to play with.
  • This guide will be focused on Cyclone.



  • You can play any green melee skills, so you can enjoy different kinds of melee build.
  • Highest dps among cyclone builds.
  • With high dps and acuity, you will have high survivability.
  • Two different cyclones (main cyclone, CoC Cyclone) to have more fun.
  • You will have little taste of CoC.
  • Free from physical reflects.
  • There is no limit to item settings, so it's fun to upgrade items.



  • This is really expensive build. You will need Acuity and good ES/Armour chest to start this build.
  • Still a bit of desync problems after the patch.
  • Hard to level up with this skill tree, so I suggest leveling up with other builds beforehand.



  • You will get the ES mostly from the gears, so we are not taking es nodes from the tree.
  • % increased Defences from equipped Shiled nodes give good ES increasement. Below is the stat changes.
  • default : 5769 → Precise Interception : 6019 → Shield Defences : 6228





Like I said above, Acuity is must.


If you do not have a good armour/es chest, you can use Atziri's Splendour.
It has good es, but a bit low on armour, so it's kind of lacking to be end game chest. However, it's still decent chest.
If not, you can also try getting good pure ES chest to raise your ES a lot.


As you can see from my gears, I get ES from amulets and rings.



Two different types of cyclones.

Main dps cyclone
You can use two gems on blue socket, either Increased Critical Damage or Conecentrated Effect. Choose on your preference.

Power charge on Crit & Coc cyclone
You can put pcoc on the main cyclone, but you will lose tons of dps by doing so. Instead, I made another cyclone to gather power charges.
Also, I use this cyclone linked with coc to give additional damage and use against physical reflect mobs.




  • This guide describes cyclone, but you can always change to other melee skills.
  • If you want to use Reave, Flicker Strike, or Dual Strike, replace Reduced Mana to Multistrike
  • For the power charge, it's good to use Spectral Throw - GMP - Faster Projectiles - Pcoc.

DPS 1m Dual Strike






ES is weak against freezes, so grab a freeze&chill immune flask on your quicksilver flask.



  • Normal - Kill All
  • Cruel- Help Kraityn
  • Merciless - Kill All



DPS 425k Cyclone
