Depending on how useful Cyclone will be, I may consider adjusting the build for usage of cyclone as a main ability. Or maybe an extra build, not really sure yet.

Your build has WAY too many DPS nodes. You won't need that much dps end game. The gear will carry you. Also, its very easy to overcap resists with only a few nodes. So you don't need to spend so much on res.

Here's my build. It's much more survivability than your build. The main differences are lower dps (So you'll need decent weapons) and much much higher life. Using this build, I regen as much life as others do when they drink a pot, but all the time.

In the future, I'm probably going to drop Blood Magic and unwavering stance to free up nodes. Then I'll use a blood magic gem on my attacks, and rock a bunch of auras attached to mana reduction gem. Grace/determination/purity will make any bro a beast.

If you're going to use my thread to advertise your own build, please don't. Make your own thread. If you aren't going to critique my build or help improve it, go away.
Thanks.

Looking forward to Multistrike!
I've recently replaced Sweep with Cyclone, and it work wonders! I want to put Multistrike on Cyclone and see how ridiculous it is. I don't know what the drawback will be with Multistrike though. If it's too bad, I won't use it. We'll see!
