I feel like no one is actually reading what I am typing. I am aware of the wiki, and it is part of the reason I am asking questions.

In this build, we only do physical damage, and Starforge makes it so physical damage can shock, and so based upon the wiki data for shock, I must assume only critical hits can shock, yes? This means Resolute Technique eliminates the potential to shock with physical damage.

My question is whether or not the shock was considered at all in the build, and whether it may be worth the tradeoff of RT. I suspect that it isn't very worth, since individual cyclone hits tend to not be a very big percentage of a Boss's health, and common mobs already die quickly without additional debuffs, so any gain I would imagine would be minimal and not make up for a 15% or so loss in accuracy.

One of the posts I quoted said it was irrelevant since the brutality gem eliminates shock, but this is incorrect. None of my gear or jewels or passive tree gives a chance to shock or interacts with shock in any way except Starforge, and WITH burtality and WITHOUT RT my cyclone could shock things, albeit very rarely with a 5% crit rate.

Is this build a good lab farmer? Can it out-regen the traps and stuff? Even with Death's Oath aura?

This seems like an easy question if somebody can take a few seconds to give any insight.

Don't want it to get lost.

Thanks. :)

Hey guys,

Can you check out my build and let me know if there are any improvements I can make.

Currently running 6L Starforge, 6L Death's Oath, Headhunter, Daresso's Necklace, Couple of Steel Rings, some nice Spiked Gloves and 16% attack speed boots. All jewels are 4 x +damage or attack speed. My experiments have led me to believe the shock is useless against Guardians/Shaper and the jewels can't have 3 damage mods and shock or they're never on poe.trade

Keen to hear your thoughts, the only thing I can see is upgrading a couple of skill gems to level 21.


Thanks

Hi all,

I've been playing this build for most of the league and really enjoying it, having reached level 91 thus far. However, I've run into a bit of a barrier with damage (barely reaching 300k dps in Path of Building) and survivability . I would appreciate any comments/suggestions for gear upgrades or passive shifts. I've given it a bit of thought myself and will be doing the following:

1) get a 6 link on my chest to move my cyclone links to it and start benefiting from Maim.
2) I did get a 4-14phys steel ring that I'm trying to roll with essences for attack speed (difficult considering just how much resists I need)
3) upgrading my boots for more HP
4) fixing up my gloves to give more resists
5) run labs for a helm enchant

Here is my build, I made a few variations, getting vitality void and diamond skin for the extra survivability:
