2.3 Fakener (budget fake Mjölner) build - Trickster Version

Cheers for the update Mathil.

It's a pity we can't manage 2x Elreon + Devotion, but that's a first world problem that I'll deal with when I get a Devotion in Warbands.

Thanks for the update mate. Is the Fakener still a viable build for normal Atziri with a 6L and devotion?

That is um, overkill for normal atziri.

For those interested, I have just transitioned into CoC Cyclone at 51.

Gear:



Chance to hit: 85%
Crit chance before charges: 29.8

Grace + 2 Heralds atm.
No Elreon jewelery - I haven't seen him once! FML.

Pretty much using flasks to sustain the spinning, but the clear speed is good, if unreliable. I was pretty much dying to transition, bored shitless.

I leveled with Flame totem and Magma orb.

Dominus in a few minutes, which I'm sure will suck with such low crit chance, but whirling through packs probably makes up for that.

Edit: I am also going to run a CWDT - lvl 1 Ice Nova - Max CoH - Max Ass Mark too. When links are easier to come by.

Can someone help me? My results so far have been, uh, kinda shitty. I feel like I'm doing something really wrong somewhere, because it just doesn't seem to add up.
Here is my passive tree: http://poeurl.com/zsrjhy4
And here is my gear:
(Keep in mind I am throwing gems and items all around my account testing stuff, so while not all gem links are there, I have them. The main CoC links are all there though)

I can post a screenshot of my attack screen if someone wants to.

Hi, post a picture of your cyclone offensive screen and I'll have a look.

What doesn't feel right? Not discharging often enough?

Also, remove adders touch and the blood drinker cluster.

Mathil goes for adders touch cluster, but I don't. I also go for acro/phase acro where he doesn't.

Pick up a Vagan dagger. They are brilliant. Say you have 85% chance to hit - You get your hit, then you get your crit on, let's say, 50% chance to crit. You then have to roll accuracy again to verify crit. So that's really 42.5 chance to crit, on top of the only 85% chance to hit in the first place. Vagan removes this. You will flat out crit 50% of the time. Also don't need accuracy on gear, which is a godsend.

Don't use Invitation. Use LL in chest.

Your CWDT gems are very very high level and wont proc often. I would rather my endurance charges go to IC than my discharges.

But it shouldn't feel too bad. I think it's just an accuracy/no vagan dagger thing.

Your only problem is accuracy rating. U should try replacing maligaro by rare glove with hp, res, accuracy and as if possible. Use diamond ring with accuracy rating ( 200-250+), hp, res if possible. The other way is trying a vagan dagger. Good luck!

I changed to a helmet with more accuracy:
And a belt with more life:

I'm not chroming my chest untill I get to lvl 80 or so, because GGGBBR was a pain to get. (And I'm using it on another CoC guy)
I should've stated my problems, which are, being as frail as a small, gentle bird (Not even 3k life, and almost out of HP nodes to get.), and proccing being really incosistent against single targets. I can't do dominus without dying several times, and most times I die, its because there is only one boss on the screen and I can't get enough procs. Against single targets, this build feels like it is doing maybe 20, 30k DPS at best. Also, I'm really trying to find a 1.6 APS Vagan dagger (Since I dont feel like crafting multi mods on a dagger only to substitute it later), but they are hard to come by.

I have a question for those that do not have Volls Devotion.

How good would it be to sneak into the staff portion and get

http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Smashing_Strikes

So you have a 10% chance to gain a ENDURANCE CHARGE on critical strike. This is NOT fitted for staves but any melee weapon.

I would assume we would be building charges at an amazing rate, not as good as a volls devotion but still enough to double your dps with the endurance charges if you havent gotten them before?

You would waste 4 points to get this but it is NOt out of your way if you went into the templar tree.

What do you guys think and has anyone tested this.

PS: I will do this tonight on my standard character and let you know how fast I build charges.
