How does cyclone feel after the AoE nerfs? With dying sun and such this build ended up with a lot of % aoe so I feel like it would hurt a lot.

I'll try on standard tonight for a few minutes but will focus on Legacy.

Want to see how it works with top tier gear.

Picked up a few goodies today. So far it is going very well. Using Vaal cyclone for now and loving that fun speed farms.

did u test fire penetration gem isntead of added fire in ngamahu? seems like it have potential

At the moment I lose roughly 2k dps on balls when I remove added fire.

I would say added fire is only better when you don't have xophs neck and the nodes to penetrate.

skill points (15) + xoph (10) = 25% penetration

I would say that is good enough but will test later.

Yeah but the penetration isnt fully shown in the tooltip its the same with other items where lets say penetration Vinktar gives u less dmg but when u play a lighting build u should do more dmg then with added lighting or so.

I saw this in other thread with Slayer Ngamahu and autor said that when he tesed it in builder it showed bigger numbers :P but im too new to understand all these mechanics and to test it.

HI,

is this Build also working without the Xoph Blood Amu?
I would save some skill points and just pickup the Avatar of Fire Keynote...

You need the amulet. Going to Avatar of fire wont cut it, plus it is a waste of skill points.

Amulet:

Damage Penetrates 10% Fire Resistance
Cover Enemies in Ash when they Hit you
Avatar of Fire

- You get fire pen
- Avatar of fire
- Ash debuff on mobs = Enemies that hit you are inflicted with an Ash debuff that causes them to take increased fire damage taken and have less movement speed.

Roger, thx for Info!

Thoughts on getting Primeval force in the bottom left now? Its a bit out of the way but its a juicy cluster.

So unlike the OP, I went for primeval. It is a MUCH better path. You get 76% perma ele dps with reflect mitigation and penetration.

The Ele overload is a shit node as we are NOT a crit spec and even when it procs you only get 40%, its a proc so it could be down. You also have to path way out to get it. The ONLY thing that is good out there is the huge es node with lightning +1. This is still not good enough to waste all those points. When you can still get 6% ES nodes in the scion wheeel.

Anyways, did lots of testing and pathing. For me primeval is one of the best things on the tree.
