Here's my level 83 build, Aura nodes are needed to get hatred+determination+HoA. I think it's pretty optimal.

Edit: Bandits were oak oak oak, would prolly go oak kraityn oak now but it doesnt matter much. I've just been picking life for the last few levels, I consider the build "finished"

Why you missed: Path of the warrior?

This is my build:

I will get 1 endurance charge also, but i still need 1 point, then i will probably rush to Destroyer

Because its only 12% phys and other nodes are more important, because I am only level 83. Will maybe go there eventually.

I dont feel the life nodes under duelist are worth it anymore. You need a few points to get there and its only 5% per node (=same as scion life wheel), the last gives 1% life reg too but that isn't much.

I am level 78 in Beyond. Here is a link to my skill tree. I chose to start as a duelist. The skill Infernal blow, combined with the Melee Splash support gem provided me a way to level quickly. I switched to 2H Cyclone at level 75.

This was a build I was able to conjure up. May not be completely optimised.

77 at rampage atm.6k health and Cyclone sitting about almost 40k dps.

RebornKing: I'm thinking about going mings + blood rage also:
With that much leech and skipping LGoH, have you tried Vaal Pact?? Since cyclone gives a lot of fast hits I think you would get life faster with VP..?

Edit: BTW, I'm preeeetty sure you would get more health with BotB than kaom's. Also realized vaal pact removes life reg which makes it impossible to negate the BR degen no matter how high your chaos res is..

Good question about vaal pact :-)

Another question : Aren't swords better with LGOH because of their high attack speed ?

I'm not sure yet (except for passives) why axe should be better.

I'm wondering if an high sword with high attack speed would make as good as a high dps axe.

Thanks for your insight :)

Thanks for the build alot fun!

I remember seeing Scary in town back in Invasion and he looked so fucking badass. I once played a cyclone bringer/aegis char back in Nemesis, so this isn't the first time that I'm playing cyclone, but first time that I'm trying it with 2h weapon. I leveled with double strike until i had enough hp to feel comfortable with the 5l cylone hp cost per cyclone. This is Beyond league btw.



6600 hp, 8130 armour and 10,8k cyclone tooltip @ lvl 83

I just found the Rumi's. Seems pretty awesome. I'm very impressed with the survivability of this build so far! I'm running cyc-blood magic-life gain on hit-faster attacks-melee physical damage. I can boost the damage a lot by dropping life gain on hit, but I feel like that takes away the ability to recover from big hits very fast. Right now I'm just using hatred, herald of ash and whatever purity I need (usually run purity of fire). Having so much fun being able to facetank and plow through any Beyound unique I have encountered so far. I put on Ming's Heart and get resistance flasks in town when I need them (certain bosses).

Here is my passive tree

My plan is to spend 2 points getting 4% reduced mana reservation when my reduced mana hits lvl20, so that I can run grace, hatred and herald of ash. Also I'm very much considering using Alpha's Howl, for two reasons: 1) being able to run grace, hatred and a purity 2) cannot be frozen. The most dangerous situations I have had, was where I was fighting dangerous mobs and got frozen, making me unable to life gain+life leech back up to full health right away. If I do go for Alpha's Howl, I might sell my Ming's Heart or only use it for very very specific situations, since I wont know if I will have enough hp to feel comfortable with getting reduced life from Ming's + no hp from Alpha's. What do you guys think?

Can someone update this? I've been using this build from the start with my maruder and now 1.3 changed the tree quite a bit. I dont want to change my items or switch to new build :( I'm 62 right now with Kaom's Primacy that I spent my currency on few days ago. Help me guys!
