VictorDoom's 2h Marauder, 7.7k life(no kaoms) huge dps[Uber Killed, with video] [2.0]

Alright, so a friend just tested something on dominus. He took out faster attacks and it took the same time to kill dominus, he replaced it with added fire and it was faster. So the attack speed theory seems to be right^^ Or im missing something, here is what the other guy said in his thread:

"

"If you are recasting cyclone faster then your attackspeed would pulsate, then yes, all your attackspeed until then is "useless".

Does not mean attackspeed per se is unseless. But I found that I am casting cyclone at least 4 times per second even when in bad positions. The ammount of attackspeed needed for that would be immense."

dominus is not exactly a good testing point, when you ahve high dps the difference between skills and setups cant really be observed when you kill him in 5-10 seconds, i recommend trying it on level 78 map dominus or a high life boss in general.

The attack speed necesarry to get to 4 APS is not immense, i am at 3.8 APS with my cyclone, pair that with high movement speed and its a lot better

so you actually made the test on 78 dominus? With and without faster attacks?

no but i can do it now if you want, i got some palaces laying around

Would be great! Because in case that attack speed is useless... Cyclone would be broken as hell...

i just did it, attack speed makes a pretty huge difference

with normal attack speed, at 3.8 per second and i have 50% movement speed, dominus died roughly 1.5 times faster than with sacrificing all attack speed on gear and the FA gem, leaving me at 2.5 APS, so just 1.3APS made a pretty big difference, it was also noticeable while i was clearing the map, with higher attack speed it took less time.

Alright and you were casting your cyclone as short as possible? With cursour almost on top of character?

yup, i played normally in both setups, IAS gives noticeable boost in damage

i wouldnt have gimped my own build if it was better without stacking IAS

Thoughts on Devoto's Devotion as a helm? Solves Dex problem and adds a lot of attack/move speed. The minus phys dmg dealt is pretty shitty though.

Devotos is a very good helm for cyclone, i forgot to add it as a suggestion for a helm, i usually use it, but i ddint want to add any uniques or very expensive gear in the gear sections since i want to show stats with mostly affordable stuff

the physical damage redctuion is nothing, notice that its a 10% reduced physical damage mod, not less, which means a 10% increased phys damage mod on tree already makes up for it, which also isnt necesarry because it has 16% IAS which gives a LOT more dps than 10% IPD anyway.
