[2.0] Simple & Cheap 2-Handed Axe/Sword Cyclone Build
" I managed to get to maps with 2 characters using this build, and I did not make any trade ! Unless you have terrible luck while leveling you will probably manage to do the same ^^ The difference in cruel bandits reward is a mistake, as you will want to maximise attack speed because it increases the efficiency of the build in terms of damage and survivability (life on hit and blind if you use it). " Since Ambush is a softcore league, I would not change the passive tree... |

update from me :D
really loving this build. i am level 83 now and these are my stats: 6277 life 14628 armour 79% fire res 78% cold res 78% lightning res 43% chaos res cyclone dps: 17617 Haven't had any problems in maps yet (doing 70-72 maps, building map base). Vaal Cyclone makes stuff like double-boss jungle valley super easy. I can also burst down Torture Chamber Boss but this couldn't be done in Hardcore. I can also do blood magic maps, but I don't see that map mod too often. I think the hardest things for this build might be finding a good 500+ pDps axe (I am a axe user, maybe different with swords/maces). Also overcapping resistances without a shield can be expensive. Gear:
Spoiler
Only thing left for me is to level/quality rest of the gems and find a good lifeleech amulet. ign: YongSook Last edited by subtiiter#1088 on Apr 22, 2014, 8:19:13 AM

Dude, your gear is fking insane lol. But why don't you use LGoH or Blind?
I'm about to hit Cruel, but am a bit worried about this build in the endgame. But I'll play it out. My updates will be on my brother's account, as I was hoping this could be a fun build he could use to play endgame maps with me (my brother and I don't see each other much after he moved away for college, I'm trying to get him into PoE so we can play together). So far I'm leveling up with SThrow/LMP/LGoH until I can get Blood Magic and Faster Attack support gems to use on Cyclone (which I'm leveling).

" I use LGoH instead of Added fire dmg if a map has hard mods/annoying mobs and lifeleech for bosses who can be dangerous, but most of the time I can just stay with this 6-link. Maybe if I hit 74+ maps I will have to change to more defensive support gem, but right now there is absolutely no need for it. I think it depends a lot on your gear & playstyle aswell. ign: YongSook

" You have a very good gear ! Much better than mine, I suppose you made some trades ? ^^ Anyway, it would be very nice if you could report your future progress on maps :) |

Why use blood magic gem, if you use blood magic passive skill??

" The blood magic keystone replaces the blood magic gem until you find it ! Then you can reserve your mana for auras :) The keystone can then be removed of course... Last edited by Shimaran#2001 on Apr 22, 2014, 4:52:43 AM

A3Cruel atm, should be in Merciless in a few days. Resists and defenses are pretty shit, but I have all of Merc to get them going. :)

Hi this is K0rrupted on my brother's account.
Oh, and I bought this sword for 9c. Not bad if you ask me. Cruel is a bit rough because I'm super underleveled and undergeared. But when I get to Merciless I think I should be fine. I'll spend some of my remaining money on getting usable rings and maxing out my resists, and getting Grace/Hatred online should give me a solid boost in the DPS and phys damage mitigation departments. Let's not forget about 7 Endurance Charges! |

" You can get around level 50 rings which can last up to level 70-75 easily. The max life roll (70-79) can appear on really lower ilvl. Just don't be afraid to invest 15-20c on a good ring, you won't have to worry about getting another in some time. Speaking of weapons, I alted this yesterday out of boredom. ilvl 79, no idea what to do with it now. ign: YongSook
