[3.17] For Slayer / Champion - Ngamahu Cyclone / Consecrated Path / Tectonic Slam

so i was messing around corrupting ngamahous axes and got the socketed gems are supported by level 10 fortify implicit. I started trying to figure out if there was a way to use it since i noticed a lot of gems are shared between the axe and the chest. Id obviously need to spend a lot to level 8 vorici link it and color it. This would let me use a corrupted kaoms with increased dmg so id end up losing about 30k dmg to gain 1.7k life.

Id be running the following setup in the axe- cyclone, fire pen, melee phys, ele dmg with attacks, conc effect, combustion. So id be losing out on a decent bit of molten burst damage without vicious projectiles and GMP.

POB has me at 1m dps cyclone, 73k molten burst, and 8.9k life at level 96. this is fully buffed with flasks except for enemies covered in ash debuff. Basically my goal is to push this build to the farthest delve depths i can. The biggest issue ive ran into is just getting full on 1 shot at depth 460ish with taste of hate, lions roar, and a basalt flask. Tried switching my bronns to belly and it didnt really change much.


Was wondering if anybody had any thoughts on this before i painstakingly trade for 2000 vaal orbs to vorici this axe

Hey,
can you check my items and give me some advice which ones I should change?
I'm thinking about to buy "watcher's eye" next.

Just want to say probably the best cyclone build. Very good guide, that's fairly simple at best and easy to follow. I've done gotten to lvl 91 no problem. Done all end game content while leveling to 91. Thanks and thumbs up +1 for this guide (minus uber elder).

hi just picked up this build, had a couple questions. Acrobatics is only two points away. Is it worth getting? I'm having some trouble surviving in maps. I even picked up VP, but still sometimes get overwhelmed in breaches.

Also what does the writhing jar do for this build?

It's not the Skilltree, you need to change something at your equip.
And Writhing Jar gives you life + mana with instant recovery + 2 mobs which drop for leech.

I would recommend getting Curse on Hit with Enfeeble on your gloves. That greatly improves survivability.

Blind is also huge for delving. Consider switching quick silver flask to this:

Spoiler

Besides Watcher's Eye, I would definitely get 6L on the Bronn. That is 40% more damage.

After 6L, go for Xoph's Blood.

Your boots need to be replaced. The life roll on it is really low.

Consider getting Tombfist with Curse on Hit with Enfeeble. It gives a 30% more effective HP to your character.

Replace your quick silver flask with this:

Glad you are enjoying the build. Very nice gears you have over there.

For Uber Elder, you will probably want to use Kaom's Root. The chill in that fight is the main killer.

If you pick Acrobatics, I will recommend you to pick up Phase Acrobatics too. This will pretty much convert your defense to evasion instead of armor.

Consider switching your helm to Devoto for more attack speed, or Lightpoacher with 2 abyssal sockets.

Tombfist with Curse on Hit with Enfeeble will greatly improve your survivability.

Check out the flask section for recommended setup.

Get Stygian belt with similar roll as your Rustic Sash. This will also improve your damage and toughness.

Besides what @Wastle wrote, Writhing Jar also helps to proc Headsman during boss fight. This greatly increase your damage.

So coming from my ele hit deadeye to this, I'm wondering if if I can use the same jewelry setup?

Could any of these be used? Ele hit is built somewhat similarly with Avatar of fire and it's bonkers with these 3. I'm thinking the Yoke could be really good?

Corrupted Tombfist with Elemental Weakness on Hit is definitely better than corrupted Tombfist with attack speed.

It allows you to drop Flammability from the setup, freeing up your mana reservation and allowing you to run Herald of Purity.

Should I try fitting Herald of Purity into my build? Have 3R2B1G Bronn's 6 linked, Xophs, and just got my Elemental Weakness Tombfists. About to buy a Watcher's Eye. (Only gain physical as fire one. Can't afford the dual watcher's) I'm leveling an Enlighten that should be at level 3 soon but trying to run Herald of Ash + Anger + Herald of Purity would be rough without a level 4 enlighten. I like the idea of the herald but can't decide if it's worth it?

Could it possible be better than Herald of Ash until a level 4 enlighten? I can always plug it into PoB later to check, but do not have access at the moment.

Edit: Nevermind. Was able to use PoB. With Watcher's Eye (add phys as fire) Ash still ends up being more. So definitely wait for Enlighten then see if I can manage both.

Pyre ring will be useful for the build but not Call of the Brotherhood.

You can use Yoke if you are running Avatar of Fire skill tree. However, Xoph's Blood will be BIS for the amulet slot.

Running those 3 with Enlighten 4 can be challenging too.

If you still running into mana issue with Enlighten 4, you pick up Tireless wheel and Versatility from the skill tree and see if that helps.

Thanks for the advice. For now, I'm taking a few life nodes instead of going towards Phase Acrobatics, but as soon as I have 4 spare nodes, I'll spec all the way to Phase Acro. Just feels like a waste of points until I can get the big one.

I made some adjustments on my gear and things are going a lot better now. I got an enfeeble on hit Tombfist. Also picked up a Stygian Vise. Finally, I switched to Kaoms for more life, and since I lost the 6L Cyclone, I got these boots so I could still have a 5L Cyclone at least:



I don't think I can really change up my flask set up, since I can't run taste of hate without dying sun, otherwise it'll ruin my wise oak. And then I need a heat and warding flask.

Also can't really change my helmet, even though I'd love to use a Lightpoacher, since I need the resists and int.
