VIDEO GUIDE ""~~;..;~V ELMO'S PEACOCK (PCOC) BUILD

I really disagree about dream frags being compulsory. I think they are way overpriced.

If you have a problem with being frozen, roll a dispels Freeze/chilled pot like everybody else!

Increased Duration just increases the duration of the intital cast of Blood Rage like all the other support gems do. Can't really see a reason to run Increased Duration besides really wanting to run Blood Rage in a 3l.

Just so everybody knows. ;)

Heya guys, I was looking through my stash and I've got this:

Will it do for this build? No accuracy sucks, but the damage $$$? (I want to use it myself)

Thats some cash money damage you got there hehe. Sorry for the lame inference, although I do enjoy hip hop music I absolutely despise the artists and the social denouement it creates.

You can always get accuracy elsewhere or run an accuracy gem if need be. Just run 300+ on your helm, ring, gloves and get an accu node or two. It's all a balance because not everyone can get accu on a weapon as fortunately as I have found.

heyho guys.
just spend ~9gcp to 2 new pieces of gear and now im able to wear my 300 dps fist.
got LOTS of es through new pieces (around 1500 shields) and some good dps done by the claw.

working with this now and can say: its goging better but not best.
dps is far away from beeing good but i could cap resis and there will be more es nodes in coming levels. now got ~4500 es with aura and have good survivability even in merci.
so build is really going interesting in levels above lvl 65, when u enter end of act 3 merc.

you shouldn't be running into to many issues as your gear is good enough to carry you into maps. maybe look at running more granite flasks (4k armor with the 80-100% + armor rating) maybe your flasks are the weak link, if those are not the weak link maybe your getting stun locked too much.

If you are having trouble still maybe get someone to just power you through the spot your having trouble with, sometimes it's just the fact of not having enough points to play with in your skill tree :D

What exactly is giving you trouble? are you getting stun locked, are you taking too much damage?

Oh i'm well aware, I liked the option of being able to cast Blood rage and not have to rush due to my initial timer. I like the extra buffer timer. This is by no means necessary and should come last i the build and have less then 1% of your efforts put into it, however onnce your at that point its nice to have the initial extra timer so you can engage properly and also since there is nothing else I found worth running. :D

You share this opinion with a lot of people, I don't disagree at all, actually, to be honest, I hate running this ring. The downfall to running dream frag is transparent; you can still get chilled -which is beyond annoying and almost as deadly-, you lose a ring spot, it isn't exactly cheap, and you're right you can accomplish the same thing with a flask.

With that being said the ring does have great benefits though; the 20% extra mana is beyond amazing, we are getting large mana regen 50%, and we are saving flasks by not having to burn a "removes frozen" flasks.

If we look at what we would look for in a ring other then dream frag it would be
- Mana regen 40%+ (We get 50%)
- Paua ring for 30mana (we get 20% which may end up being 200mana)
- Mana 50+ (See above)
- Energy Shield 30+ (small bonus but helpful)
- Accuracy (The only reason we should not run dream frag)


Given all the pros and cons we get almost double the mana which is very important, and we lose a small amount of ES and Accuracy.

The not get frozen definitely outweighs the cons of running the ring.

AHHHHH MY BELOVED CYCLONERS, You guys chose my favorite of my video guides to run! for this I decided to reward you all and make a variation of this.


It is very similar to the current guide and should require less then 10 respec points, but is vastly different then this!!!!

NEW VIDEO GUIDE COMING LATER THIS WEEK GUYS.( STILL USING CLAWS AND SAME GEAR!!!!!)

you guys will now have 2 variations to run and will be beyond happy with the variation and will have 2 different/similar builds to run :D

Curious about Vall Pact - CI + Vaal Pact + a leech oriented build is a pretty common synergy. But I can see the downside of losing DMG, %armor, all res which would be on the left side of the tree (at least ES could be skilled in the middle part of the tree). Maybe it's just not worth it but hopefully you already tried to get it in your build and could give me the reason behind your choice not to take it. :)

Awesome! I wanted a cyclone build so bad and got sick of my clan mates saying phys melee will never be any good. Also cyclone just looks awesome. level 51 so far and hope to try both builds eventually.

will slower claws (1.1 speed) still work?
