[2.1] Kiaraa's Dual-Wield Cyclone | Budget | 190k dps | 78+ Maps Fast Clears

__________________________________________________________________





Hey everyone.

I've previously made a few builds like Kionn's Wander and Nalaa's static blow. Again a lot of people have been requesting for my build. It takes me awhile to explain so i decided to just write up a small guide.

After doing a lot of research. this would be one of the best, if not the best way to play Dual Wield cyclone in my opinion. I have optimised the tree so that there are no wasted points and you are getting the best value for each point.

Some people disagree and say this build may be too squishy or lacks defensive properties but I haven't had any problems so far (I've done up to 78 maps).

I've only spent 5 exalts on this build, 2.5 exalt on Bringer of Rain

Thanks for reading and let me know if you have any questions.

I've seen this build in action, phenomenal. BoR can be expensive but come on a virtual 7L for 2.5ex is pretty sweet. Compared to some other items it's pretty budget.

Hey , thanks for your topic. I made a new char to test this , bought a bor , two weapons and i must say that's a great build !
Currently im 69 and my main problem is that i have only 2,6k life. I will take more life nodes on next levels.

My gear

Seems like a solid build, I might respec into this build from my dagger/shield crit wild strike build. Gonna take somewhere between 15-20 respec points tho.

2.6k life is very low. You need to get more life on your other gear and get all the life nodes if you need them in this build. As of now, 4.5k and i should be able to hit 5k soon. i havent gotten all the life nodes yet.

Thanks for your comments.

Smerte, i tried wildstrike with this build, i ended up with 90k dps. But overall cyclone is much better in terms of clear speed and aoe. Wild strike seems way too underwhelming.

Thanks for the build, been looking for something like this
can I just ask two questions

1 I am leveling with molten strike. When would be an appropriate level to start using cyclone? I think the main issue is mana

2 as you went for a sword sword do you think a dagger build works as well? Any recommendations for unique daggers ?

No problem, glad to help.

1. You can use cyclone whenever you want. I leveled with reave and switched between them constantly to test things til level 60-70. I found cyclone is better in this patch because reave requires you to stay in 1 spot while attacking. Get a bloodmagic gem early for mana issues, either that or get an elreon mod ring with -mana skills cost.

2.Dagger build doesnt work, the reason why you use swords is because of the range.

Axe, One-Handed: 5
Axe, Two-Handed: 7
Claw: 5
Dagger: 5
Mace, One-Handed: 5
Mace, Two-Handed: 6
Sceptre: 5
Sword, One Handed: 6
Sword, Thrusting One-Handed: 7
Sword, Two Handed: 6
Staff: 6
Unarmed: 4

thanks that was very helpful

No Problem.

Updated some stats and gear.

If you could choice, without thinking about the budget, wouldn't a coil 6L be much much better then a BoR?
