[2.1] "Cyclonus" Crit Bino Cyclone by fiqst

Updated my equipment listing with new belt, gloves and atziri flask.
New screenshots of maximum dps
Changed to name of thread to reflect the new 74k dps value.

Levelled up to 89

changed my tree:
- removed the ranger life nodes and took some marauder life nodes for 4% less life but one free node, which was used for crit multiplier.
- achieved 80k dps with full flasks
- posted new screens of dps

- added new screens of different attacks

An interesting discovery I've made today.

If you shift-attack to the edge if the screen, cyclone will move to that point. That line will count as one attack.

If that attack happened to be a crit, every single hit on that line is a crit. It is possible to crit 20+ times in a row on a single line. I am able to kill bosses in one volley!

Another interesting discovery relating to this is that romira's banquet also counts this line as one attack and will only give you 1 power charge no matter how many enemies you hit.

This is possibly a bug and might be fixed in the future, so enjoy the benefits for now.


Btw, this thread has sort of become a personal blog since no one is interested in this build. I hope you guys don't mind if I put my thoughts here

Changed a few equipment pieces and the tree slightly.
- added new screens of dps with and without flasks
- added a new "glass cannon build" with 120k dps

My latest version of this build is here

- removed romira's banquet and replaced jewellery
- removed reliance on power charges
- I now achieve 85k dps without power charges
- 121k with atziri flask and Vaal haste
- better survivability than before with more life.

Things to do:

Find a more effective way to build power charges without romira's banquet.
Find a better way to mitigate reflect.
Redo entire guide and drop rt cyclonus section

Updated screens, equipment and tree

Completely redesigned this thread.

Updated almost everything.

Ditched the old RT version of the build and renamed the thread.

Added sections on:

- 43k with a 4L coil

- different attack types:
- 92k molten strike
- 96k infernal blow
- 91k cleave
- 101k AoE dual strike

Hey nice build, I am interested in running something very similar for the new softcore league when it comes out. I know that i wont be able to afford a soul taker for quite some time so instead im thinking of running a swords variant with AoE dual strike. I just have a couple of questions.

1. Should I just use daggers instead? I find that its quite hard to make a good tree for daggers as there isn't any dagger nodes at the bottom of the tree, however, i'm not sure whether the extra crit on daggers would make up for it. A very rough skill tree for daggers might be like this:

2. Is my sword skill tree okay for softcore? (i actually started this tree as marauder, also I will skip reflect)
