Little update here
Skilltree:
-Charging Offensive is has been replaced by Brutal Blade on the Skilltree
-Life and Mana Leech node taken out for some more Attackspeed + Critchance

Gems:
-Increased Duration on Immortal Call + Vulnerabilitysetup removed, replaced with Summon Lightning Golem
-Summon Lightning Golem moved away, so we support Leap Slam with Endurance Charge on Stun and Fortify now for extra defense

Champion/Slayer:
Slayer has officially beaten Champion DPS wise even without the 20% cull. This mainly happens due to the fact that I built in 2 rings now that reduce the total cost of all skills to 0, so we can fit another aura in. On mobs Champion is still stronger and also defensively ahead, 12% movementspeed increase is also quite nice, but Slayer beats it currently with increased AOE, overleech and generally higher Boss-DPS.

It's still up to you what you take, Champion is a bit tankier with 6% less damage on Bosses, while Slayer has more DPS there and is better at clearing Maps fast.

I never thought the DPS would actually feel this good, so we might overkill it with Champion in Maps and are better of increasing the overall AOE to run through the maps faster. But that's up to everyone else.

So is champion still going to be as crazy with DPS as was posted in the title? 13M+ is A L O T, i already went Champion and am now sort of doubting myself.

Would you now recommend to go slayer or to go champion?
I just started maps and never played slayer or champion, so a decision out of preference is not really valid :D.

Slayer is more forgiving if you don't pay as much attention, since he can leech against hits easier. Also has more range due to higher aoe, so you don't have to be too close into things.

Champs is generally for the more experienced who spam bosses.

Can someone please in detail explain to me how we're supposed to go so fast while channeling Cyclone? I have 30% Movespeed boots, I have Quicksilver Flask/Silver Flask which I have up all the time.. Yet it's so slow, honestly makes me not want to play the build at all.


I'm tired of getting this generic answer of "Oh well it has to do with your movement speed, also use Leap to jump from pack to pack if they're semi-close..." OBVIOUSLY.. That doesn't change how fast my Cyclone moves when I'm channeling it.

As it stands right now with my boots, my flasks up Cyclone is like slower normal running speed without movement speed boots on, which feels terrible and slow.
