Any guesses about the price of ngamahu at the start of the leauge?

I believe it should range between 30 to 60 chaos at the start of the league.

What is the main difference between a berserker/chief and slayer?
Thanks.

Check the FAQ.

Q: What are the pros/cons of Slayer vs Champion vs Scion vs Chieftain?

"

"
Slayer (requires Xoph's Blood or Avatar of Fire)
"
- Best Uber lab farmer
- 20% Culling Strike makes a long fight end so much faster
- Overleech makes Vaal Pact not necessary, and it greatly improve survivability if you do pick Vaal Pact

"

Champion (requires Xoph's Blood or Avatar of Fire)
"
- Ability to run Elemental Overload skill tree without investing into accuracy
- Permanent Fortify from Fortitude, allows running 5 x damage support gems for Cyclone
- Free intimidate and adrenaline damage buff (if you drop Fortitude and pick First to Strike, Last to Fall)

"

Scion (requires Xoph's Blood or Avatar of Fire)
"
- Benefit from Slayer's overleech and 10% culling strike
- Potentially higher damage than Slayer and do not require "On kill" to achieve that
- More jewel sockets and provide more flexibility in gearing choices

Chieftain (Do not require Xoph's Blood nor Avatar of Fire)

"

"
- Cheapest to gear
- Can be great Uber lab farmer (if you follow Uber lab skill tree and gem setup)
- Most flexible when it comes to gearing choices (no elemental penalty from Avatar of Fire)
- You achieve 100% fire conversion once you complete Cruel lab
- Highest potential damage on end game gears

The was the first build guide I ever used. I'm excited to see if you really update it for 3.7 (beyond just the skill tree). Lots of new gems, I imagine the Cyclone 6L will be getting changed quite a bit.

I wanted to ask whether RT is still better than going crit as a slayer.

Hey Kira,

Will this build be updated tomorrow before the new league starts?
Skill tree, gems and perhaps, items if anything changed, etc

Hey kira, thinking about soul tether but "Life Leech effects Recover Energy Shield instead while on Full Life" so this mean when im on full life my leech goes to es instead life? imo impact is broken and must have for cyclone.. what you think?

Why we no skill Melee Range notes? Use we the Aura Blood and Sand?

Yes. Expect changes to Cyclone gems setup.

I am still waiting for patch 3.7 to hit and POB to be updated with the new gems so that I can have the gems section updated.

RT / EO have better survivability while Crit has more damage.

You can always start off with RT and switch to either EO or crit at a later time.

Skill trees are already updated.

Gems have to wait for actual patch day.

Yes. Soul Tether should be able to replace Brutal Fevour for the overleech.

Impact is great for Cyclone but with the buff to Cyclone gem, I believe running without Impact would be fine too.

Waiting for actual patch day for the gems to be added into the game and POB to be updated before I will update the gems section.

At this point, any gem changes will just be theory crafting. :)

Man, haven't been so excited to play POE in a long time! Between this and E3 next week, it will be hard to get anything done at all. HYPE!

Can't wait to try this build, but for the casual mapping I'm gonna do (i.e. below T14), I think Chieftain would be better than Slayer, no?
