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

"

Got another basic question: on the skill gem set up for juggernaut, Fortify is listed. I have a Fortify Support gem that grants Fortify on melee hit, is that it? Or is there another Fortify gem?

Hello folks!
I am very new to this game. Started a week ago or something.

Looked at this build and thought it might be good to learn the game with.
Been having a blast most of the times but I seem to have some issues.

I dont understand if my gems are completely wrong or if I am missing something cause I just keep dying even in Dried lake (depends on mobs)
But I can so far only do level 1 maps, just keep getting one shotted in level 2 maps.

I noticed that I had placed my gems like the thread says in the start but just saw now that it says (ignore my gems)

Not sure if you can see my profile but if anyone could help me out with this it would just be great.

PS: Think I am laking life aswell, only have 2900 life... Just keep having bad luck with drops and if I remove say a ring with int or dex, I cant use my weapon so it's hard to just upgrade.

Thanks in advance, hoping to get some input regarding this or if I am better off trying something else for learning.

I'm not sure if your character profile is accurate, but your gems are kind of non-sense. You have to follow the gem links as outlined in the guide. When he says to ignore his gems, he's just referring to the gear section - the actual links in the written part need to be followed.

For example, you have a blasphemy gem, without a linked curse. Linking Warlord's Mark to Blasphemy will give you a TON of life leech, which will be your main sustain source. Also, read up on how the Cast When Damage Taken + Immortal Call interaction works and take advantage of it, it will make dying to physical damage sources very rare.

Also, linking Cyclone to Faster Attacks + Life Gain on Hit + Fortify will give you a ton of sustain (through faster attacks plus the life gain), and Fortify will add damage while providing a substantial damage buff. Look at my profile (see character named Roswender) to see what your gems should look like.

Have another question.
Would it be much of a difference between Kaom's Primacy and Hezmanas axe in terms of damage?
I am running Kaoms atm but saw that Hezmanas is kinda cheap. Altho I want to get the Atziri axe but thats just a dream far, far away in the horizon :P
