[2.1] "Cyclonus" Crit Bino Cyclone by fiqst

Hello, first of all, wanted to say that your build looks great, as well as other your works.

I got somehow Bino and Soul Taker, as i'm not rich (2 drops, bino found, ST trade for self found rare chest), then searched a way to make them work together, now with full respec available, I found your build and would like to folow it. But since I cant afford another new char and gear, my qustion is, can I play ranger with it, without great lose, am I right?

I have 2 free respec rangers, one with Power charges quest, other one with endurance, and really dont want to start lvl up from 0 bcz of work and my chest is with es+evasion+armor, also have some ES gear. So second, main question, is CI viable with this build?

What can you say about something like this:


Here is list of some items, didn't make slots/colors yet, gems don't belong there, only planing with all this and will look for a better rare ring with ES latergame:

Like a lot of people I got back to PoE after the release of the new patch; I was planning to roll a cyclone character and I found digging this build the most; would you say that this is somehow feasible for a first character on the new SC league? Thanks!

yeah i tried to work the tree for that idea.

You can take RT straight away and you won't need a single crit node for about 100 points.

The tree doesn't take a single specific weapon node so any weapon can be used.

If you are lacking a soul taker, i suggest using a different attack such as static strike, the tree is pretty flexible around all (physical) skills

Thanks for the updated build, I've been messing around with it, and while I certainly am not seeing 100k~ numbers, I've seen my Cyclone hit 45k and above when maxed out on Power and Frenzy charges. I've got Hypothermia running, I just have no way of knowing what it's actually adding.

It seems that Blood Rage drains health faster, and even with my 5600 Evasion, the loss of Acrobatics means I'm taking a lot of hits. Which is where I wonder: I avoided the "Evasion -> Armor" keystone, only because I'm not stacking a lot of armor and not really sure if it was worth the investment.

Do you find trading evasion for armor helps survivability?

Right now I really gotta work on getting a well-rolled tri-res on the Ring, Belt, and Amulet.

I have been reading reports that IR is more effective than acro after patch so i went with it. I think it's perfectly fine to run with acro but i'm not sure that its worth the 5 points.

Using Daresso's Defiance suits me because i always have 3x EC, so when IC procs, it's 1.88 seconds of immunity. That's a big difference in our 2 chests.

Your dps will rise quite a bit once you have your gems levelled and quality'd. Also, changing some of your gear, especially the amulet will help greatly.

If possible, drop the LGoH and rely on max frenzy and bino regen.

I'm not sure why you took those 3x pathing nodes above marauder but you can drop them for more life.

Is it worth going for this build for level 60? I am lvl 41 atm, and been following skill tree strictly from here, but now my gear and skills are kinda slowing down. It is my firs character. Should I stick with yellows and normal skills until 60 or should I make my cyclone build earlier?

2.0 passive tree? :/

I haven't dumped a point into Acro or IR only because I was kinda iffy on which I might end up regretting. I can spare the respec point to test IR for a bit though.

And yeah, after thinking about it, I kind of realized that LGOH isn't solving any major problems for me. I'm assuming you know this, but my current usual is "Hit Blood Rage, spin into a group and prepare to pop a flask while I wait for charges to build and Bino to kick in.". Before Bino and before the patch, LGOH was filling the role of keeping me up in those down moments, but I'm re-evaluating it now.

As you can check out, I don't actually use Immortal Call, and I'm not even sure how I'd fit it in. I have the Daresso, I just haven't 6L'd it (and doubt I will, since it's not worth the cost atm), but without it there's really no way to wrench IC and End charges into the build, I don't think.

I know almost nothing about crafting, and I don't really have a whole lot of currency to roll a hundred items until I get what I want, but I'm working on it so I can fill those gaps.

And yeah, those three points were a dumb mistake. When I was setting things up, I was having a hard time getting the Heralds and Hatred to work right, and figured I needed to dip into some more Mana Reserve reduction, and that was the closest path to it. I'm gonna be returning those points as soon as I can cover the Int loss with gear, since I need that for gems.

EDIT: I consolidated some skill gems, and now basically have a 4L on my helmet and a 3L on my Bino's just kinda doing nothing. I really am at a loss for what to use them for.

Hey Fiqst,
Great build, I have used this build before the 2.0 release, and loved it. Now that 2.0 is live I have now adapted your build and adjusted some things on it to use Wild Strike with it instead of Cyclone, and must say this build with Wild Strike is pretty amazing. If you have not tried it out I would recommend.

Here is a link to my build with a Passive Tree link in it. If you like check it out and maybe you can fine tune it better then myself if you are interested. My Wild Strike is only lvl 9/20Q and I'm hitting above 60k atm.

Anyways good luck to you in the 2.0 release with your endeavours.

Hey thanks a lot!

I've been waiting for someone to make a wild strike build! A pretty exciting new skill.

I gotta say, I'm loving this resurgence of soul taker builds. The mana leech changes are bringing it back to its former glory.
