[3.7] CYCLONE, The "LEECH KING" SLAYER Build 2019 Edition +VIDEO! + BONUS Berserker POB!
|
Hello guys!
 Cyclone is one of the oldest skills in PoE that is still quite favoured by a lot of players. After a series of nerfs and buffs it is still quite strong through entire game. During Incursion league i did a thorough inspection on current state of Cyclone and came up with a setup, that i believe, is OPTIMAL for end-game with a very very affordable gear. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ With over 10+ active builds it is becoming hard to keep up with replies and comments, so make sure you follow me on discord, twitter and more importantly = twitch to ask for anything! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➤ All here: http://www.angryroleplayer.com/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► TWITCH: https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► PATREON to be real BRUH: https://www.patreon.com/angryroleplayer ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/angryroleplayer ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► TWITTER to keep notified on shit: https://twitter.com/RoleplayerAngry ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► DISCORD to chat offline: !discord on stream ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ VIDEO BUILD GUIDE: https://youtu.be/LO9_oUteoTs V 1.1 Update (06/06/2019): -PoB updated for 3.7 -With the changes to Slayer ascendancy, the tree now contains both CRIT and NON-CRIT versions! Pretty equal in damage, but crit version gives WAY MORE AOE if you kill fast enough!
Spoiler
 -with the changes to Berserker ascendancy i also added BERSERKER Crit version in a separate PoB. Potentially up to x2 damage of Slayer, once again, if you generate Rage fast enough! -skills gems are still unchanged for now =============================================================================== http://www.angryroleplayer.com/path-of-exile-builds/cyclone-leech-king-slayer-build-for-path-of-exile/ ====================================================================================== How does it work, in general? 1)Your damage directly scales off BASE damage. Base damage = your weapon damage. The higher = the better. Ancestral Warchief scales the same way. More attack speed = better. Cyclone is a melee movement attack skill. Once you press the button you start moving from A to B and do damage to the enemies. Movement speed affects how fast you can travel from A to B and then stop and start spinning again. Attack speed, at the same time, affects how many times you = hit the enemies per spin. Maintaining these two aspects provides necessary gameplay smoothness and decent amount of damage. 2) Vaal Double Strike summons two extra "clones" of yours for a limited time. They do a lot of damage for just a brief duration (which can be extended) and greatly help with any map bosses and other end-game bosses and guardians. I prefer them instead of Ancestral Warchief, as they are IMMUNE TO DAMAGE, while totem dies quite quickly to heavy damage. We will still be using totem though to give ourselves an extra buff! ====================================================================================== 1) PROS
Spoiler
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO9_oUteoTs&t=164s +good AOE +high effective HP: can be over 7000+ and even over 8000+ with Kaom's Heart +a lot of leech and sustain, moderate amount of armour too +high mobility +reflect IMMUNE +can SHOCK enemies +quite cheap ====================================================================================== 2) CONS
Spoiler
-Levelling with sunder / double strike / cleave / whatever till 70-80+ -If you stop spinning and hitting: you might DIE -single target damage is mediocre outside of VDS ====================================================================================== 3) Skill Tree Progression / Path of Building / Ascendancy / Bandits For the levelling tree please watch the video guide! Levelling Trees also included within the PoB! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO9_oUteoTs&t=401s
Spoiler
Path of building: Slayer CRIT+RThttps://pastebin.com/TtJUwaF3 Berserker Crit: https://pastebin.com/WcavppsG For Slayer Ascendancy: Endless Hunger, Brutal Fervour, Headsman, Bane of Legends For Berserker Ascendancy: Crave the Slaughter, Flawless Savagery, Aspect of Carnage, Rite of Ruin Bandits: Kill All ====================================================================================== 4) Early Levelling Gear / Skills
Spoiler
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO9_oUteoTs&t=1166s Get Sunder and just level with Axes till 70-80 or when you can afford Starforge and a 6L. https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/List_of_unique_axes I personally use 2x Relentless Fury till i get Blood Reaper. Then just use it and switch to Sinvicta's Mettle . I also used a lot for leech and high phys damage. As early as possible get Starforge and use it till the end. 4L Sunder: Sunder-Melee.Phys-Multistrike(Faster Attacks)-Ruthless 5L Sunder: Sunder-Melee.Phys-Multistrike-Ruthless-Maim As soon as possible get 20% quality Vaal Double Strike and use it in another 4L VDS: VDS-Melee Phys-Ruthless-Damage.On.Full.Life For progression i also recommend these items: is great for early game when you are lacking the damage for trash mobs. ====================================================================================== 5) My Actual Gear / End-Game Skills
Spoiler
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO9_oUteoTs&t=1363s Perseverance is GREAT (nearly permanent Onslaught) if you can balance your resists, as well as Belt of the Deciever: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Retch is also amazing! For Uber Lab enchant: Helm - 15% Cyclone Attack Speed or 40% Damage, Boots - 16% Inc.Attack Speed. If you can't afford the "speed" or "damage" helmet, buy 30% Vulnerability helm. It's usually very cheap! 5L Cyclone: Cyclone-Melee Phys-Brutality-Maim-Inc.Area of Effect/Conc.Effect 5L VDS: VDS-Melee Phys-Ruthless-Damage.On.Full.Life-Brutality 6L Cyclone: Cyclone-Melee Phys-Brutality-Maim-Inc.Area of Effect/Conc.Effect-Damage.On.Full.Life 6L VDS: VDS-Melee Phys-Ruthless-Damage.On.Full.Life-Brutality-Increased.Duration For amulets you can get and along with Herald of Purity it will give you around 6% more dps! Daresso's Salute is BIS for damage, while Carnage Heart is BIS for leech For chest you can also use if your plan is to reach 8k life and damage is not a problem. Bronn's Lithe is not a bad option if you are in for DAMAGE: the rest are mostly SOLID OPTIONS too! Good Steel Rings are OP for the build. For abyssal jewels: life, onslaught, blind, attack speed For normal jewels: life, attack speed, chance to SHOCK (at least 2 jewels!) Aul's Uprising with Grace is a great, but expensive amulet as well https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Aul%27s_Uprising_(Dexterity) ====================================================================================== 6) Flasks
Spoiler
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO9_oUteoTs&t=1633s Lion's Roar comes first! Blood of the Karui is also nice. ====================================================================================== 7) Pantheon Gods
Spoiler
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO9_oUteoTs&t=1700s Major: Arakaali / Solaris / Lunaris Minor: Ryslatha for dangerous bosses, Gruthkul for mapping ====================================================================================== 8) Hardcore Viable or not?
Spoiler
====================================================================================== 9) FOR THE RICH GUYS
Spoiler
+1,2 Belly, 30% quality and corrupted Starforge. High HP Steel Rings with a lot of Physical. Crazy corrupted amulets ====================================================================================== MORE VIDEOS: Atziri: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nxaPBQRLrw T14 Crimson Temple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66RG7zmjt3Q T15 Basilica: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JIrO1C6LbY T16 Hydra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLfHY79Tylk T16 Chimera: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7EFnvv7vdo Poorjoy's Asylum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpCX21OOnKQ Shaper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8w4nJiNKyc LVL.83 Abyssal Lich: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG74J1SHgLA ====================================================================================== FAQ 1) Can i Kill Uber Atziri / Uber Elder?
Spoiler
It is possible, but definitely you need to be over 90+ with some serious gear. 2) What about Atziri's Disfavour?
Spoiler
It's about 10% less damage in general, and much more expensive. A lot of people farm Shaper who drops Starforge, but, in comparison not many people farm Uber Atizi or collect cards :) ====================================================================================== https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer All builds: http://www.angryroleplayer.com/path-of-exile-builds/ https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2143469 Last edited by Angry_Roleplayer#6657 on Jun 6, 2019, 6:04:32 PM Last bumped on Jul 2, 2019, 4:42:55 AM

" Bronns is awesome for pure movement and damage, but Kaom is insane for HP. You need as much HP as possible for end-game. Since this is not a jugg, physical damage mitigation is still pretty rough i would say and big boys can hit you really hard. https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer

If you guys aren't going belly with 6link vaal double strike your doing it very wrong. Clones can drop guardians on their own in seconds and can still use 4l totem if u like.

" Kulle Story bro, is this the new CYCLONE meta? Vaal Double Strike for single target? I noticed some players use it and some not https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer All builds: http://www.angryroleplayer.com/path-of-exile-builds/ https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2143469 Last edited by Angry_Roleplayer#6657 on Jun 12, 2018, 3:27:01 PM

" I think it might get a nerf pretty soon, every melee build relies on these dudes for taking down bosses https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer
