Just got this for 5 Chaos, seems a steal I think?

Things are finally looking up for my Cycloner, I hit 90 last night (extra jewel socket), I got my weapon 5 linked at last, and I'm only a couple exalts away from a Kaom's Heart (my jewellery is still terrible though). :D

Yes that is a very nice jewel and I would #YoloExalt it asap. Even if its bricks into something trash its still useful.

I'm only two exalts away from my Kaom's Heart, then I shall Exalt the jewel and let you know how I get on, thanks for the advice on leech etc too :)

Hey Lighty,
I am currently pretty satisfied with the majority of my gear pieces but not with my rings and amulett.
I kinda need a lot of dex and int on my jewellery to use bloodrage and hatred but on the other hand i dont wanna miss out on leech on my neck since i just swapped doriyanis for a rustic sash -
What stats should i look for?
Gear:

I'm still trying to tailor towards ubers and my last runs pretty much ended somewhere at the trash after trio due to dieing to vaal fallen even with immortal call up multiple times (apparently the status effects deal a huge amount of damage and go through immortal call.

tree


the next question do you consider the 2* 4 meele % + jewel slot really to be worth more than for example 6+5+5% life or 16%phys+14%phys+14% phys, to me it feels like that this little circle at the bottom left is nearly useless due to 4% being so horribly low.

(Will edit in the jewels im running after i started the game, apparently you cant link them while youre using them)

Jewels:

Would really appreciate if you spend some minutes for an in depth analysis on my gear and build since if i can't do ubers with this toon my currency will all go into PA :D

Hi guy,

I'm running good with your build in my first hardcore run but can you tell my why you don't take blood magic as passive skill? It's bcause the auras?

Pros:
~ dont need to run bloodmagic support gems on anything ( +1 cyclone link )
~ 35% increased maximum life
~ 50% less mana reserved ( herald of ash maybe? )

Cons:
~ Less damage ( no hatred - haste ect. )
~ Alot less damage ( no hatred - haste ect. )

I'm a little confused by the whole alot less dps by taking the Bloodmagic node.
I run the BM node in my build.
standing in my H/O my dps is 46.5k. If i turn on Herald of ash my dps is 51.3k my HP goes from 9.7k to 8.4k which doesn't hurt even in full partys its still completely viable. Then when i enter a map and run Fortify and Bloodrage my dps is 70.9K when i pop atziris flask it's 81k.
That's alone in a map.
Then in full partys because i am leeching off other peoples auras i have seen my dps go over 100k i'd prob say 110-120k max always varies depending on what auras people are running.

When i take out my added fire gem and leave the socket empty and say the BM gem is in there and i turn on Hatred and Haste my dps standing in my H/O is 45k. so 1.5k less dps than when i turn the auras off and put the added fire gem back in the socket. Then if i was running hatred and haste in a full party i won't be leeching them auras if people are running them but most people do so it's less dps again.
I can't figure out how it is less dps???

Tried Atziri for the first time today and...failed :(

BUT it's totally my fault, I made a mistka in the trio kill order, I made Titty Bitch, Cyclone and then tried to kill that f***** Dual Striker...no way :(

Double Vaal was totaly ok, so I'm gonna try later (if I can found a sac set..)


Edit : tried again, failed again, this time only one death against the trio (stupid move in these dark clouds) and the five others death was because of that god damn double flameblast... :(

Hi guys, hope you can give me suggestions for improvement!


My Gear:


I know, my boots as well as the jewellery is not really good. But I try to find better ones ;)

I have a lack of resistences (especially fire and cold) so i want to ask, if it might be better to change the daressos defiance to a well rolled rare chest!?

The next issue: Life
My lifepool is about 4.000, i guess this is really low. Suggestions how i can increase my life (nodes where taken like the Marauder Axe passive skill tree). Obviously with better boots/jewellery?

My damage is (with all buffs, normally i use Hatred instead of Haste) about 25.000 dps. Is this enough to fight Atziri?

And should i level my CWDT/Molten Shell Gem higher?

Looking forward to your response!

Hey there,

I've got a question regarding Belly of the Beast.

I'm currently running a 6 link axe and a 1,5k armour, 100 life, resi chest armor...

Is it worth it to buy a Belly of the Beast? Which armour would you recommend? (Warbands League)

Edit: Kaom's Heart with 500 life might also be an option. Especially since I'm running Added fire damage with cyclone.

If you already have your weapon 6 linked Kaoms Heart is the best option; unless you really want a multiple vaal cyclone setup in your body armour.

When do I want to replace my Thiefs Torment? Still using it at 90, not sure what rare rings would bee worth losing the LGOH.

I would never use thiefs torment for 2h rt cyclone. Even 2 mediocre rare rings will far out-value it. If your looking for unique ring options mings heart is best.

*Does the happy dance*

Just reached lv 82 as my highest character in PoE all thanks to Lighty and his holy build :D

So far I have just 2 problems. Kinda low life even though I've taken all life nodes and all my gear has life. And phy reflect maps (With even as low as 13% reflect) are kinda nightmare to me.

Right now sitting at 4.3k life and 19k tooltip DPS (Up to 23k with Frenzy charges and Blood Rage)
Still haven't picked heavy AXE damage nodes so my DPS will jump even higher in a couple of levels. :D

Here is my current gear. Any suggestions for improvements is welcomed.

Spoiler

Your rings as pretty weak and I would save for a better weapon and kaoms heart next. Taste of Hate & Rumi's Concoction is also a option is survivability is your issue.
