Actingrude's Rappid-Discharge *UsainVolt* CoC + Cyclone + Discharge and more

So basically I ran some maps one night with a Mjolner build that blew my mind wide open. He Ran Spork (which struck me as somewhat strange). I looked deep into this weapon and while I loved the idea of the build and doing something around it; at this moment the cheapest one on poe.xyz is 40 exalt.

So this build is something similar to that at truly 1/10th the cost of just the weapon.

4 Link viable but shines with a 5link.
A 6 link would of course only add to the build, but I'm not sure what I would go with in that 6th slot yet.

So this build supports cyclone, is based on EV, Dodge, and Block.

The damage comes from rappid Discharges; sometimes it will discharge on every single hit, around 4 a second; all with multiple power charges and possibly frenzy and endurance charges up.

So since beginning this game I have wanted a cyclone build, but unfortunately as we have all learned; there just isn't an efficient way to support the cost of the skill. I wanted to be able to support it efficiently without giving up the feel of ripping through groups. Additionally I wanted to be able to use cyclone for true movement, I hate the idea of the giant long strokes people have needed to use to make cyclone viable.

Additionally I loved two other skills:
Arc appealed to me right away. I gave it a few failed attempts before the buff, and when it got its most recent buff I loved it and went with the "Lightning Ninja Build".

Discharge just looks incredible to me, screwing around with it; it's obvious it has a huge damage potential. I mean, if you don't like discharge than this isn't the build for you.

Finally I love the idea of Cast on Crit (CoC). Oh man, the idea of casting spells faster than you could self cast them is just very interesting. That said, I wanted to minimize projectiles as some people claim they cause distress in groups.

So when attacking a group you cyclone in with blood rage activated >

You hit and immediately begin gaining power charges >

Anything you kill with physical damage (which is FAR FROM NEGLIGIBLE) can give you frenzy charges, and then with a minimal Cast on Damage Taken (CoDT) Enduring cry gives you endurance charges. >

Then you crit, hopefully not until the 4th or 5th hit (So you have full power charges) >

Discharge is first, it ends lifes; simple as that. This can also crit. >

Then Arc goes off. and can crit, causing more discharges (1+ power charge each). >

You lose your Power charges because of the ring, but then arc continues to hit more targets. >

This entire time you are also hitting targets, at the end of the cyclone you can potentially be right back at full 3f/3e/5p charges easily.

Rinse and repeat.

This one seems pretty obvious.


These have okay damage but the instant leach allows you to cyclone and not have an issue. You end up with HUGE leach at the end of the build and I am thinking that you could substitute one of these for a much better wep, but right now I dont think its an issue, and these are cheep and DAMN effective.


The life, the EV the resist, the area damage I mean there is not a wasted stat on this. Its perfect (like much of this gear seems to be).


Great Crit, and okay evasion but I am thinking about trading this out for some tri-res goves with life and things... I'm still testing, but this is the slot I may replace first. But the crit and multiplier is pretty damn good.


The Spell block is just too good to pass-up, there is a lot of discussion on max-block best in slot for amulet but I like this because the int is also great.
I would suggest Voll's Devotion, its just kind of insane for damage.
Alternatively I am going to try out the Anchor, especially with a possible armor variation of the build.


I don't know, I needed the resist for leveling. I am thinking a chaos resist ring here to help with the blood rage damage and other chaos damage but I'm up in the air on this. It may be a great place for a phys ring.


Essential. I would take 2 if it made sense. (Maybe I'll test that)


I love the resist, life, damage and leach on this.


I like the huge EV here and the life and spell dodge. I considered Blood Dance, but I dont think the frenzy charge chance is nearly high enough to take them over blood rage as convenient as it would be.

This build sucks to level from 40 to 62, but its worth it.
I suggest going survival early (picking up the long crit nodes set in bottom right early) and
know that when you hit 60ish and can put on the ring your damage will push through with no issues even waiting to pick up the nodes near shadow.







Alternatively there is the potential to go shadow by going int along the top line and then cutting down to mental acuity. This allows you to drop a 30 int node much earlier, but is also less effective by about 4 points.

Before you watch these and judge the build too harshly, please keep in mind that when I made these videos it had been about 2 months since I had last played the build.
I was hitting the wrong potions and trying to Cyclone a few things that I could have face tanked with my single target move without issue.
