Updated the gear in the original post, I got a new ring with mana leech.

In HC I'd strongly consider, in the "lvl 54" link, of getting the marauder starting nodes instead of going for Static ^ ^

Ahhh okay there it is! Gotta get me one of those rings. I will definitely be dipping into the marauder tree for more life maybe even the templar tree before i get static shock but i'll see how my survivability is before i decide.

I think mana leech is a fairly inexpensive stat to look for on rings as well, not in high demand with all the blood magic players :)

can i ask why your cyclone5l no need life gain on hit or life leech. Is depend on life re per sec and shiled block?

It doesn't use blood magic and laughs at reflect mods. Socketing a sustain gem would be a waste of dps and mana.

And yes, between your life regen and mitigation, you have plenty of survivability. I rarely even use flasks.

Yeah generally life regen will keep you going. As Skipp says, flasks are usually just there for emergencies.

I do have 2% life leech from passives though, and it is surprisingly effective for what sounds like a low number.


Updated the guide to comment about multistrike.

And cyclone builds everywhere rejoiced at the Lightning Thorns nerf.

Aimless, do u remember what skills used during leveling? Started a similar build last night And figured I would try cyclone right away at 24. I was disappointed by how many passes I needed to kill normal mobs. Should I keep leveling using ele cleave ? When to transition to cyclone and does it need links to be viable ( I tried it with added light for dps and LoH )
I wanted to try the build initially because I found some decent physical uniques and my other toon can't make use of em
(Light arrow ranger, ele cleave templar, freezing pulse shadow and templar)
Thanks for the great build idea

When I reroll I'm gonna try this build. I was very sceptical about cyclone, but what the hell, why not give it a try?



Would this claw work?

Gonna do this on HC.

I wanna try that claw now with my cyclone mara

Great guide. I'm only level 40, but it looks to me Promising.

My only fear is that ca be much more demanding than my summoner level stuff: p

Nice job!
