Hello :)!!

First of all really nice build :)!! I'm new with FB builds even if I always wanted to make one and so I'm looking around for interesteing builds like yours.

Since you seem a veteran of FB builds, I wanted to ask you what do you think about this build https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GD7D3_T510. He hits 16k with frenzy charges and with a 5l (with fortfy and IAOE in it). So I think that considering the hidden jewel bonus he could hit easly 20k (30-60 flat dmg with its 6 buff up), considering a 6l adding added fire he can hit around 25k and swapping IAOE with conc effect he should hit around 43k. Adding quality on gems etc maybe he can hit 45k.

So my quesiton is, do you think getting so many mana reservation nodes can be worthy in order to boost the "flat dmg jewel" (with new reduced mana chance he have to pick up every reduction nodes in the templar and duelist tree and use a level 2 enlighteen)? Also, as u could see his build appears extreamly tanky because of 200% armour bounds and 190% life from passive. Do you think it could be worthy spending points on that instead of the dmg? Because I've seen that while you have 511% increased dmg modifier and 100% attack speed modifier, he has just 255% increase dmg modifier and 31% attack speed modifier. Do you ever had issues with reflecter or similar?

Sorry for questions that aren't really related to your build but I've seen that you are working with FB from 1.1 and maybe you can also have a different point of view watching another FB build.

By the way great build, really enjoyed seeing smashing Atziri in 4 min min and many other bossses in seconds :)!!

You can do whatever you want with the build basically. I use different mechanics than most other Cyclone builds. For example, with a low dps tank build there's no use in having a HoA + Ele Prolif setup because the overkill damage won't nearly be enough to kill enemies that you're not hitting in high level maps so you need much more range on your Cyclone to have any decent clearspeed. It's not bad or wrong, it's just a different use of the skill.
My build is more kill before being killed, relying on high movement speed and attack speed to avoid getting hit and having decent armour and block chance and high leech to not die from one-shots. For reflect mobs I have a Rumi's Concoction giving me 15k armour and 75% block chance so that's not a problem at all (though you have to pay more attention to rare mobs so it's a bit more of an active playstyle).

One huge advantage that's currently in the beta is that there are no more elemental/physical reflect rares. They reflect all damage now but only the rare reflects, the mobs surrounding it don't anymore.

If all the buffs that are currently available in the beta really get live I expect to hit at least 200k dps.

Is it HC viable? Maybe someone asked already, sorry if so

In it's current form? Probably not but with some adjustments (no Abyssus, more life and armour instead of physical damage) I've seen some great variations that were very succesful on HC.

I do have to say I still play this character as a test char so I die way more than I should. Once the patch hits I'm aiming to make a final build and try to level to 100.

a few questions

1. I have a marauder that got its ability points reset, so I wanted to use this build, would it be that much different instead of using a scion?

seems like you only miss out on those attackspeed/cast speed nodes on the right side




2. I do not have a lot of money (only one level 70 character on maps) and found a 670% facebreaker a while ago. Obviously it's not the best, but I was wondering if I could get away with a low budget build with a meh facebreaker

would it be better to keep farming and build up more money for a better facebreaker or could I still make the build be decent on a lowbudget (obviously not as effective as yours but still good)

For Atziri (all bosses) what flasks should you use? Just the ones in the guide or some different ones i have never tried her before so i don't really know and i could not find much info about.

best regards Ulriku
and thank you for the build it really is great

Would be awesome, if you could make a Leveling Process ... where to go first and what to get first ...

well, hello first i gotta say that i love this build ! i just cant wait to have a belly 6 linked x.x so i can destroy everything :3, and im here to share the way i leveled up from 1 to 79 with this build since i see many people asking for it.

Remember this is the way i did it ... it isnt a must !.

well,i basically went tank untill, i could changed to a "good" shield, got an abyssus and started using blood magic.

i used static strike from level 1 to 65.

i used this weapons(gonna link them in order from lower levels to higher levels)



for gear well, i used whichever low level unique i had and all the gear i was getting while leveling and i got an amulet and 2 rings from elreon those that look like this (with the -5 mana cost ) that is super useful for leveling.

i really think this is one of the cheapest builds ive seen apart from summoners build that are atziri viable. because to be honest every single build that is atziri viable makes you spend 50ex+ for it to be "super easy"(not more than 7 mins to clear atziri).

i did like a little summary and this build can be awesome with about 13ex which will get you awesome accesories with alot of resistances and flat phy dmg and hp + a 5L belly of the beast thats 10ex accs+belly

examples of some accesories u could get.(i focused a little bit on resistances since im having problems to cap them.)



and the other 3 ex to get the rest and if you cant find a really awesome shield i recommend that you get 1 of these





or both , why both well because you can use lioneye's remorse pinnacle tower shield while you clean a map and change to saffel's frame branded kite shield in case you need to kill a spell caster boss.


well, that is it, thats how i leveled from 1 to 79 in 1 weekend :), hope this is useful for everyone who wants to start this build.

and im sorry if there are too many mistakes, but my native language isnt english, so i did my best :)

I'm doing really good just feel like it should be easier. I have almost maxed resists (67 lowest, not counting chaos) and around 4200 health with 223 life regen. I'd say I really only die to reflects and cannibals but come close to dying all the time. Anyone recommend any upgrades?

Oh and I'm level 75 if that's not indicated somewhere and 69K cyclone damage.

edit: Just wanted to clarify, I don't come close to dying "all the time." I really do tear thru sh** just feel like maybe I'm 1 or 2 items away from finishing the character.

Can anyone give me hints on gear progression starting from lvl 35 and or explain the gem skill setup a bit.

I'm kind of a newb and want to play this build but I feel overwhelmed.

Thanks

well, problem for me is that i had all those uniques to level up that i basically one shotted everything so didnt worry that much about gear , all i can say is try to get as many resistances as you can in your gear so you wont get rekt when you change to cruel or merciless do some Docks farming and try to get some items
