[10.8] Aimlessgun's 1H/Shield Lightning Cyclone Guide (videos! spreadsheets!)

Gear update:



Plans for my next items are: same as the Prismatic, but with more WED. after that my next priority will be getting a 6L Carcass
after that ill try to get a tri ele 2.0++ APS Corsair too.

Changed the colors on my carcass (mana leech instead of increased area)

new ring:

Oh man both Tfist and Wakes. Ballsy :o Updated the guide to mention Tfist. I need to get me a pair.

Hi. Me and my brother will start playing new characters tonight and we would like to give it a try to both your cold caster and this cyclone guy. We will be playing together all the time. Do you think they will be good together? Any recommendation on changing in both build to consider that?

I was thinking in getting endurance charges along the tree and enduring all mobs so he can safely freezes them and then I can cyclo all of the mobs safely.

Nice builds btw!

Should work well together. Don't think anything needs to change, but if you find a cool way for them to work better together I'd like to hear about it! Endurance charges are great, I just didn't get them because keeping them up annoys me :/

Hey, very nice guide! Lots of useful info in one thread.

I have been playing around with this build for a while (on my 83 hc RoA marauder, so my passive tree is not quite optimized for cyclone) but I tried a lunaris 3 run today and was amazed at how effective this build can be!

The difference between yours and mine is I actually use cyclone linked with blood magic support gem - life leech (I don't have a LGoH gem levelled, lol, but I might swap them once I do) - faster attacks - WED.

I also use 6 auras (if I can get Alpha's Howl I will use 7) since I don't need mana and Vitality helps me make up for huge cost of cyclone. Those are Anger - Wrath - Grace (cast on hp pool with Covenant) Determination - Purity - Vitality - (Hatred)u

I also use Iron Reflexes with L%S, and to be honest I think movement speed actually helps very much in terms of survivability. A quicksilver flask can get you out of a tight spot by finishing your spin quickly if it's badly aimed/desynced allowing you to re-target/get out of a tight spot.

I did not try maps cause I'm a hardcore wuss afraid of losing my character ;) and do not want to waste more regrets to respec from RoA completely before I collect the absolutely right gear (and hopefully desync issues get slightly less deadly with upcoming patches)

Also my weapon is pure-ele. I'd love to get a combo physical-lightning-attackspeeed claw! A leech gem could then be replaced with Added Fire.

Ideally I'm thinking I could pull off something similar to this passive combination.

If I can't play it in maps it would surely make for a very nice farming spec for lunaris 3 (with Aurseize and Goldwyrm) :)

anyone whos been following this guide can tell me how tanky their character is? Just that im not exactly swimming in currency atm and dont want to get to a point where I just get stomped with my mediocre gear

Thx aimless its a monster build!!
I am using a 6L carcass what takes 7 points to get it.
So i skipped all shield points. Still i am doing fine without them.

But for a backup i have 4 endurance charges.
Thumbs up!

Hi Aimless, awesome guide, really liked the video and how you explain everything.

I just started the Game last week so i am still in "noob" modus. Played all chars to atelast 20 so far to get a feeling.

Had a blast with the Duelist and my Witch is now 52 on Cruel.

Would you recommend this spec for me as a Starter with not much currency ?

So starting from the scratch in SC.

Thanks for any help or suggestions

I starting this build as my first character with no currency and am currently at level 80 and have been doing maps for awhile without any troubles at all. Frankly it seems this is a good starting build as you get quite used to desync and get better at handling it on other characters.

As far as I can think yes it is, and your damage got a super boost ;D

I'm planning on starting this build once I get currency for 5L Carcass
