[2.1] "Cyclonus" Crit Bino Cyclone by fiqst
 This is a dual wielding build that specialises in dealing massive critical damage. It offers impressive DPS and clear speed, high mobility and great survivability in mapping. It's great fun in a group and offers fast paced gameplay. The weapon focus is on Bino's Kitchen Knife for its powerful regen properties, as well as its crit performance. The offhand can any 1H weapon, but the best back-for-buck is definitely Doryani's Catalyst as it is easy to attain and the dps displayed in this build is easily replicated with unique weapons. The mobility of Cyclone, and the auto-cursing from Blasphemy, creates a character for those who love to mix constant movement with high damage, while being perfectly safe. Defence is purely dodge based with the keystones Acrobatics and Phase Acrobatics being the main defence. Current stats: 4800 life 230k dps with charges 99k dps in town 587k dps with charges, flasks, Vaal Haste, and Conc. Effect 741k dps using alternate ele version 1.66 million dps with mirrored dagger

Cyclone in 2.1
In 2.1 the mana cost of cyclone had dropped significantly from 150+ down to 42. This allows a full 6L cyclone running on mana alone. The Soul Taker as a staple of this build since its beginnings as a Blender variant, but it's also the limiter of the build's potential. We can now equip a more powerful weapon as secondary, whether it be the best bang-for-buck, the Catalyst, or a 360pdps sword, or even a mirrored dagger.
Bino and poison
Poison operates differently since last expansion. It now only factors in physical and chaos damage for the poison damage, and ele damage is ignored. This means the potent P2L+WED combo of the past, although significantly more damaging, will hinder poison damage and the subsequent regen. The Fatal Toxins cluster will double the poison damage and doubles the regen rate, but i think it's overkill and more of a luxury choice if you can spare the nodes.
Alternate Max DPS version
This version maximises ele damage for sheer dps. The downside is less poison performance and regen. GRRBB G/B Cyclone Melee Physical Damage Weapon Elemental Damage Physical to Lightning Conc. Effect Inc AoE / Faster Attacks  741k dps with 2 weapons worth 2-3ex each. Not bad.
Psychlonus
Obligatory ultra-dps version with a mirrored dagger:  So many strikes within one breath. But only one strike needed, for certain death. Last edited by fiqst on Dec 29, 2015, 12:43:05 AM Last bumped on Mar 11, 2016, 8:42:58 PM
