[3.0]Facebreaker Cycloner REDUX - Voyage to 1M dps

"

@rappieaz1992 >> Are you using Blood Rage? Or have enough leech? I now have less regen than you have (260 atm) and with the 10% leech I get from Blood Rage I have no problem Cycloning on BM whatsoever.
And how much mana does your Cyclone take? Is your Concentrated Effect 20%? The quality of Conc Ef is reduced mana usage, my Cyclone takes up 144 mana.

I would make Blood Rage 20% first, 3% extra leech is huge.

I've tried Vaal Pact for a little while and I didn't really like it. Your life degens so fast and your health will spike all the time. It's managable with a decent over time pot but I just didn't really like it.

Reflect get's absorbed by the leech and Immortal Call setup. I die about 1 in 15 reflects when I have too few mobs around me for a decent Enduring Cry/Immortal Call combo.

@Munkehboi >> Yeah, I'm running HoA (+Increased Burn and Elemental Prolif), Hatred and I use Tempest Shield as well.

As for the question about Vaal Pact, I have combined 7% life leech from a ring and amulet so I actually dont use bloodrage in my build. I find that enough and it also means I dont have to spec into life regen nodes specifically.

Essentially I use Vaal Pact as my survivability, mainly against reflect packs. Of course with only the rings, amulets to provide Leech I would assume most people wont have it hence why this build shoudl run bloodrage for the leech. I have a luxery so to speak.

The draw back is around 3-4k less DPS but having my health instantly regen is essential for me. Theres a lot of ways to build and tweek this and particular build. It's important to build it how your confortable with? I wont reach the DPS that OP has as I dont have a legacy 900% + Facebreaker but I can reach around 75-80k (currently 65k on Level 86 with level 19 gems) and thats more than enough.

My gem setup is just slightly different also:

As you can see I've had a hard time getting 3 reds sockets on my carcass so instead of Added fire I played around and setteled with Physical to Lighting. Considering I should hit around 75-80k its not a bad replcement if you can't get added fire in.

As for my shield I like:

Certainly not BiS shield as I accidently ruined my last one but it gives you resists and 20% physical damage. Cheap too

Atziri and even the level 79 map trio melts in no time so from my perspective around 75k DPS is more than enough. I think the key to this build as with most melee builds is to kill quick enough before you take a substantial hit and the way OP has come up with this build just does that.

For level 61 your DPS is good, comapred to your DEF mine is actually worse at level 86. I would suggest to invest in a 5-6 link. Even a Tabula Rasa at this point and spec more into life, I would aim for the 4K life first and build from there. Life is always the most important stat. I f you can get a 5-6 link then maybe swap in Life leech or LGOH gem for the time being until you can upgrade to help survive.

Also you should have 20% quality on your armor and helm, surely you have armor scraps!
