First of All:

This build utilises the Unique Small Cluster Jewel:
This jewel grants:
"You count as dual wielding while unencumbered"
"60% more attack speed while unencumbered"
"14 to 20 added Physical Damage per 10 Dexterity while unencumbered"
Unencumbered means: No Gloves, No Equipped/Usable on or off hand items


Large Cluster Jewel with the following mods:

Adds 8 Passive Skills (9 works too!)
Added Small Passive Skills Grant: 12% Attack Speed While Dual Wielding
Deep Cuts
Devastator
Smite The Weak

Please note, that these are not the only mods that work on the large cluster jewel, you can replace any of these mods with:

Drive the Destruction
Martial Momentum
Insatiable Killer
Hit and Run (For survivability)
Feed the Fury
Combat Rhythm

Chest:
What more do you want? Dex, Damage per Dex, Cold Res, and Action Speed. It's possible to craft a better Redeemer chest, but you'll have to find the damage somewhere else.

For levelling, you can buy a 6 Link Briskwrap and use it from level 9, this will cost you about 1-1.5ex and will last you til level 57. At this point, you can use the prophecy "The Last Wildman" to upgrade it to a Wildwrap

Helmet:

Starkonja's provides more Dex than Fractal Thoughts and also boosts your life by a fair margain, cheap without the Cyclone Enchant, but extremely expensive with the cyclone enchant. It may be worth looking at enchants such as "Blood Rage Attack Speed" instead.

CWDT setup for ease, can achieve more DPS by pressing more buttons if that's your thing. Phase run is for the extra melee damage and Blood Rage for leech/attack speed. As for the enchant, here's a list of decent ones that are applicable to this build:

40% Increased Cyclone Damage
15% Increased Cyclone Attack Speed
Blood Rage Grants 12% Increased Attack Speed
30% Increased Warlord's Mark Curse Effect

Belt: or

The leather belt is a budget option for a huge life and resist buff, great for a tighter budget and does exactly what you need it to do in early maps. I have also killed Sirus (A6)/Elder/Shaper using the budget gear.

You can also use a Stygian Vise with max life roll/all resist rolls and a good life/damage/attack speed Abyss Jewel OR a best-in-slot Cyclopean Coil if you have the currency to do so.

Amulet:
Astramentis was an easy choice for this build. The large increase in strength and Int makes this build easy to run any items during levelling phase and increases your life and mana a reasonable amount. The Dexterity increase is huge with the % modifiers from your gear. Discipline and Training is a fairly cheap anoint for +30 Life and 10% Maximum Life.

Rings:
Stack Dex, Resists and as much life as possible. Having Warlord's Mark is all about survivability. It will give you up to 3 Endurance Charges, improving your resists and physical damage reduction. It also increases your life and mana leech by 2% and increases your chance to stun enemies by 24%. The build does NOT need this early on, but later in to Simulacrum and other end games, it's extremely reccomended.


Boots:
Boots are fairly self explanatory. Movement speed, Life and Resist with more Dex because Dex means prizes. Garukhan's Flight are best in slot boots for this build, you lose a little DPS but you gain about 700 life, definitely worth it if you want to drop 4 Exalt on boots.

Weapons (Yes, I know):
Any high Intelligence weapon works here, PoE unfortunately has a problem weapon swapping when you have no weapons equipped, equip something with +Intelligence, equip the wand, and then remove the +int item so that the wand is unusable, in your inventory it should glow red in main hand and say "You cannot use this item. It's stats will be ignored" and the next weapon is why..

Now, this is the interesting bit. Dancing Duo creates 2 Dancing Dervish ghosts, these will cyclone around and help you kill stuff, which is great! More importantly, you gain "Rampage", for those who don't know this increases your movement speed 1% per 20 stacks, and 2% damage per 20 stacks. This stacks from 0 - 1000 based on how many kills you have. To use this, kill a couple of enemies and then weapon swap to your bare fists/unusable wand, the rampage will continue even after the weapon swap. At 1000 rampage stacks, this is 11mil shaper dps!

Flasks: With flasks, make sure you cover Staunching, Warding and Heat, you will need them to stay alive. Ample, Chemist's, Alchemist's and Experimenter's flasks are all good, except for the life flask where you need Bubbling or Seething. Lion's Roar for extra Melee Damage.

For Levelling: You can level with any melee skill, I levelled with Lacerate -> Onslaught -> Maim until I could use Cyclone. You will need to use weapons until you use the One With Nothing jewel.

As for Flesh and Stone, you can pick this up early to use with Lacerate and Dash can be picked up early too.

Pride will not be used until your mana allows you to fully sustain it, this is most likely just as you hit maps. You will still fly through levelling without it.

After Cyclone becomes available (6L):
Use Onslaught and Concentrated effect where you can't use another skill until later levels.

Your Cast When Damage Taken Setup is (3L +1):


This setup is just to keep your attack speed, life leech and attack damage up during fights, especially long-sustained fights. The War Banner is linked, but level 20 so it sits as it's own skill. This provides more phys damage reduction to enemies, accuracy and Adrenaline (when the banner is dropped), this is a good way of proc'ing the "Gain 25% of life when you gain Adrenaline" from champion ascendency.

Auras and Misc (4, no links required):


Vaal Ancestral Warchief is hugely recommended, having another totem bouncing around destroying things is massively useful, and you can deploy 2 of them. The Warchief totems increase your Melee Damage and Strike Range.

Dash is a great skill, without the Second Wind skill it's a little rough, but when it's level 20 and quality 20, the cooldown is quick enough to be doable.

Pride and Flesh and Stone are your Auras that provide the largest damage buff. Flesh and Stone and War Banner can be run whilst levelling and Pride will be added on around maps when your mana can take it, use your own experience with gear and the build to gauge when this is best for you.
