[2.5] (2.6) The Volcanic Eruptor! Cyclone AoF Raider | Up to 2 mil DPS | Endgame viable

I'll be switching over from Mathil's build to yours. I'm not sure if you've kept up with his build but in the case you have, I wanted to know what'd I'd be gaining and losing by doing this swap (I'd gain more survivability but lose damage for example). Alongside that, do you feel your build is in general more friendly towards doing endgame bosses (as in it allows room for mistakes)? Thanks in advance!

PS: Guide is well written and I commend you on your English even though it's not your first language.

Is devotos worth it without the added AS on cyclone?

I've been thinking about that aswell recently. I mainly use it because it allows me to drop quicksilver and not feel slow while adding a fair chunk of evasion and attack speed. it isn't at all necessary and a well rolled rare helmet will do just fine. It doesn't even give that much of raw dps (has reduced dmg mod).

Hi thanks for the kind words, i haven't kept up with Mathil's build but the difference is as you say.
Last time I checked he's got roughly the same HP% skilled and around 80% more dmg nodes from tree (incl. +6% elem. pen), while loosing out on acrobatics, +1 frenzy, 15% aoe and all res. With Belly of the Beast instead of Carcass Jack equipped, you will have around 6,2k-6,5k life pool with decent gear.

So far i have done ~10 guardians and died on 2 (mainly because i didn't know the fights beforehand).
I have problems killing the last of the 4(Phoenix), as he is the only one able to one hit me.
After i lvl up, i will try him with blasphemy enfeeble and chaos golem.


I've run some maps to test out an optimal skill gem setup for cyclone and molten burst and so far it seems like fire pen looses out on the most map mods.
Instead of fire pen, it would hypothetically be best to run Elemental Focus.
DMG effectiveness should be as follows:
1)Elem. Focus
2)Added Fire Damage
3)Fire Pen.

So this build cant clear all content atm ? i see only 3/4 guardians and no shaper

I'm sure this build can do everything available in the game (including Shaper). OP just hasn't done these bosses before and is only learning them now.

Bandits:
Oak (N), Kraytlin (C), Kraytlin (M)

This is who to help right? Not who to kill ?

Yeah, you help those out.

Oak will grant you +40 maximum life on Normal, Kraityn will grant you 8% increased attack speed on Cruel, and Kraityn will also grant you +1 to maximum frenzy charges on Merciless.

tyvm!
im having problem to lvl up with this build tbh, i dont know what to use :S

What Gem do you drop on a 5L Belly?

So I ended up switching from Mathil's build towards yours for the day (as you know after we talked throughout). It felt very good in terms of survivability (especially with those pesky porcupines) but I really felt the damage difference and it made me miss it (as I'm a DPS whore). So with that, I decided to mix both your build and Mathil's build into one.

(Note that all these calculations are based off the Path of Building application and my current gear/skill points. They also assume that you have all your Frenzy Charges up.)

I'll be playing with it for a bit now and see how it goes. I wouldn't mind some feedback on it and see what possible flaws there might be that I missed.

So i have a question... how do you deal with the huge amount of int you need in order to sustain int supporting gems? You just stop lvling them at some point?

Also, what do i do if i cant afford 5.5 exalted 6l belly ?
