Current Gear Essential Uniques At least 2 white corrupted prismatic eclipse Daresso's salute Jewels: The knockback on jewels isnt needed anymore as they aren't very reliable. So I opted to use knock back flasks instead. Place the static electricity between duelist and ranger Comment: TBH, the alphas howl isn't doing much atm. I only have it because I was planning to run wrath and anger, but it seems hard atm without lvl 3+ enlighten. Links:

Order of importance: Body: Cyclone, Increase AoE, Faster Attacks, Weapon Elemental Damage, Life Gain on Hit, Added Cold Damage 4links: Herald of Ice, Herald of Thunder, Curse on Hit, Poachers Mark Aura: Wrath, enlighten (if you have level 2+) Fortify proc: Cyclone, Inc AoE, Fortify Utilities: Blood magic, rallying cry, flame golem/chaos golem, (optional blind) Whirling blades, faster attacks, blood magic How the build works:
Spoiler
With this flask, you are able to knockback enemies 100% for 6 seconds while activating atziri's 10% freeze chance, giving us a total of 20% chance to freeze. The freeze is important as we want to shatter as much as possible to activate Herald of Ice linked to Curse on Hit and Poacher's Mark. Poachers mark gives us frenzy charges, sustain via life and mana on hit also 100% increased flask charges gained. This helps us give 100% uptime of our flasks. With the large aoe, knockback is beneficial by giving us additional defense vs melee mobs along with freeze. Since this is ran on mana and cyclone is known for its heavy mana costs, we use rallying cry to help sustain the mana cost (the added damage is also a nice bonus). Also use the cyclone fortify when the situation requires it. Math behind the range:
Spoiler
When dual wielding, cyclone's range is based on the largest range of the two weapon. For example, if you dual wield a foil (7 range) and a dagger (5 range), cyclone's range will be 7 range even if it alternates weapon. Base range of foil = 7 range Vagan's mod = +2 local 3 white prismatic eclipse = +6 range global Daresso's salute = +2 range Master of arena passive = +2 range Total = 19 range Now with Increase AoE gem + Inc AoE passive nodes + carcass jack, you can get around 100%+ increase AoE. Thus, 19 range x 200% = 38 range. If you opt for more range, you can use warlords jewel +1 range = 20 range * 200% = 40 range. However, I found that the range without it is plenty and opted for more damage jewel. Videos:

this is amzing! However I cant help but say that I'm almost certain you'd get MUCH more damage if you scaled phys.

Post stats dps and def?
and how the hell do you sustain the mana cost, WITH OUT any mana leehc or mana gain on hit, nor any mana node? SHOP : http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/682434 Last edited by xenochaos1 on Sep 20, 2015, 10:41:10 AM

" see his jewels | |

Hate to be picky but its Kraityn, other than that your build looks quite fun!

" Thanks for the feedback. I did have a physical version in mind and using hatred, but obtaining a clean physical foil was hard so I decided to do ele. " Updated with pics. The mana reduction passives help a bit to lower it to 62 mana per cast. Then with 3 mana per hit from jewels, rallying cry's mana regen and poachers mark's mana on hit help sustain most of the time. " Thanks and fixed the typo! Last edited by windz on Sep 21, 2015, 2:40:41 AM

here is my own build, its a lot more tanky and has a lot more dps, even more Aoe from tree, but i am not using a 3W prismatic/carcass jack/ so my range is a bit smaller (no need for knockback since you are tanky) (you could theorically use carcass jack for more AoE but u would lose end charge/IC combo from daresso defiance)
tree: gear:
Spoiler
dps with buff/charge is around 43k dps (not using rallying cry) charge are alwaus up since we are scrit (surgeon flask) you can put vaal grace in in too (i like to put vaal grace + vaal cyclone together) SHOP : http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/682434

" Thanks for sharing!Your cyclone build looks great and tanky. And yeah using a prismatic eclipse really hurts the tooltip dps =/ |
