Hi WarRng,

Could you post your skill tree and gear? I'm at level 61 and i cannot sustain my HP. I do have a 4link Voll protector.

I just recently got hp regen on a few pieces of armor, so that really helped my hp dipping when I cyclone, as well as a few % of hp and mana regen from total damage, and if you start critting a lot, you'll sustain hp much easier. So once you have most the hp nodes, I grabbed all the crit chance nodes I could (haven't gone for multiplier nodes just yet, that should be a nice damage bonus when I do.) Warlords mark has also been great for mana/hp on hit. I'll probably switch to assassin's mark soon now that I can sustain cyclone.

Single target is really hit or miss with cyclone, especially after the desync work they did on it. Now sometimes I "lock on" and it just spins into them like a magnet, and others it doesn't do damage and goes right through them. Much more reliable in a large pack, but when it does lock on to a single target, it rips them down when it starts discharging.


My level 65 setup atm

is 2% lightning leech enough?

So I switched over to a 4L volls and that definitely helped the kill/clear rate! A lot more fun. This build really needs a lot of mobs to shine- single boss is really tough for me. Also reflect is just destroying me. When that discharge goes off, BLAM! I'm dead with reflect.

How do we deal with that? Resistances are close to capped but not quite...

5l Volls will do wonders, I recently swapped out my Firestorm/Ice Nova for Life Leech and with Vaal Pact you will have zero issues with reflect (like none you won't even dip low). This was viable for me since I am already reliably proccing EE without the Ice Nova or Firestorm so I could afford to drop the slot for the leech. A lot of you saying it has issues single target while I do agree cyclone can be a bit iffy at times (makes me mad when it does) you're also probably lacking on crit so it seems a lot weaker because its harder to proc off one target then say 5. At the moment I have 92 percent crit chance with power charges (63.5 or something without) and will have 66 very soon once Elreon levels up. So with Assassins Mark I have 100 percent crit. I'm level 81 at the moment and had a tough time in the 60s since I leveled with it but it does get better with gear and levels I promise!

Getting a dagger like this will make a world of difference (Purely for the high crit and attack speed, other stats are just bonuses really). But 8+ Crit and 1.8 Speed should be your highest priority.

Man I wish I could afford a 5L volls or a 8+ crit 1.8+ APS dagger! I cant even sell stuff though much less find the currency to afford things like that.

The Dagger cost me about 14 chaos or something and 5L my Volls in about 70 fusings, so just save up some currency and you will be set!

Hi sir Mathil. With my dagger do i need to take EE? Or not? Kindly reply., thank you and more power.

You can't play EE with that dagger Magnus, anything that has Lightning Dmg on it will ruin EE because you will just make them resistant to lightning damage.

Is ok not getting that EE nodes? Do i still clear every map that fast? Thanks for the feedback,

I personally haven't played around without EE, you'd have to wait for someone who can tell you otherwise or try it yourself :(.
