[2.5 Video Guide] Beginners "End-Game-Viable" Tanky Cyclone Build

Hello.

I am new to the game and am following this Guide.

The Build is working out very nicely so far. I found a nice Two Handed Axe with high Physical damage mod. At level 46 I currently do 2.2k DPS with Cyclone.

I am having one problem though... 85% of my Mana being reserved... I am having mana management issues even with Warlords Mark. Bossfights are nearly impossible. Is this an oversight? I don't see any additional mana gain on your gear. How do you deal with your mana?

U might wanna consider dropping 1 support gem for mana leech gem. Once you reach 60 70s end-game, Ur damage should be enough or Warlord to leech mana

Blood magic support gem helps a lot with boss fights.

What do you guys think about Herald of Ash? Is it worth running? I'm still levelling, but it seems to help a lot with killing big packs.

Really though, what's the order for the ascendency tree?

Herals of ASh is a must for end-game map clearing as it provides huge clear speed. It also gives u decent damage as well. If u play SC and dont have any defence/mana problem, just go with it

For Champion, go the Fortify route first then pick whichever nodes u want

For Juggernaut, no particular priority to be honest. Personally, I would choose Unbreakable-> Unyielding-> Unstoppable

If you are new, next time please clarify your question more :)

Mb, I'll remember that next time!

As a new player, this build is very helpful. Lvl 45 and working veyr well. :)

I am thinking about trading out Hatred for an additional curse aura - Enfeeble/Temporal Chains. I am new and this is my first character, would this be a good idea? Or will it be wasted with the -60% curse effectiveness on bosses? I am currently lvl 53 and am wondering which would be more imprtant for the end game. Also, I would then have 15% less mana reserved (I often run out of mana against bosses). If the extra curse would be better do you think TC/Enfeeble would be better for this build? How impactful is Hatred on dps? And if it is a good idea to go for the extra curse, should I get the passive in the top left of the tree (Whispers of Doom) or use Doedre's Damning Paua ring/Windscream reinforced greaves?
