Uber Lab Time
 This was a bad layout day which is why the times are relatively high even after 5 hours. On days with good layouts, can get <4 min easily or even <3 min.

Hideout, no buffs:  In map, flasks up, charges up, 50 rage: 
Path of Building:
This is the Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/J28L7wSP The default tree is level 100, but there is also a level 90 and level 80 variant included. All buffs in the configuration will mostly be up 100% of the time (Except for berserk). Rage has a build up so you won't immediately have 50 in Uber Elder. Berserk can be used on demand as long as you have some amount of rage. Typical in-combat calculations:  High AoE setup: https://pastebin.com/f65SZRrJ  Max tank setup: https://pastebin.com/uuEM7Npu 
Skill Tree:
 Pretty self explanatory. To see what the nodes do, go to the PoB.
Ascendancy Choices:
 Priority: Champion -> Berserker -> Path of the Duelist We take Champion + Path of the Duelist in addition to Berserker. Champion gives us permanent Intimidate and Taunt + 10% more damage taken by taunted enemies, as well as permanent Fortify and an 8% movespeed bonus, which is always nice for Cyclone. Berserker gives us 15% more damage as well as 50% increased damage, 25% attack speed, and 10% movespeed while at full rage. It also gives some nice leech if you've killed recently, and provides stun immunity while at 25 rage or above.
Bandit Choice:
Alira for all resist and crit multi. A very efficient choice.
Pantheon:
 Major: Soul of Solaris With the changes to immortal call in 3.7, this pantheon now gives more benefit than Soul of Arakaali. It provides some damage reduction, a 50% chance to avoid ailments from crits, and most importantly it makes you take no extra damage from crits if you have been crit recently. Minor: Soul of Ralakesh This reduces the damage of our blood rage, and gives us immunity to blind/maim, as well as a chance to avoid bleeding.
Gem Links:
6L Cyclone:
Swap out Conc Effect for Increased AOE for general mapping.
Leap Slam:
Lets us move around very quickly when not using Cyclone, and is good for fast dodging. Because we link it to Blood Magic, it also is useful for instantly regaining your mana if you go OOM.
Aura Setup:
Hatred is the most important aura, Blood and Sand is second. Blood and Sand provides a nice AoE bonus while mapping, and can instantly be changed to provide less AoE but more damage for bosses. Vitality is used for the 30% recovery rate from watcher's eye, but is absolutely not required, as we use instant leech. You can also throw in Precision if you can afford the mana. I recommend using Herald of Purity or Flesh and Stone if not using Vitality.
Vaal Ancestral Warchief:
Unavailable This ability gives us bonus damage, and also deals quite a bit of damage itself. It's especially useful for fighting waves of enemies in delve/breaches and on bosses. It can even tank Shaper beams!
CWDT Setup:
We use this to proc our Elemental Weakness curse and Immortal Call, as well as Lightning Golem. You can also self cast Lightning Golem if you want to use a higher level one. Alternative options for this setup include using enfeeble instead of ele weakness, berserk inste We also use Blood Rage in this build for extra Attack Speed and Frenzy Charge generation: You can put this anywhere you want. I have it in my CWDT 6L, although CWDT does not proc it, it gets the benefits of the increased duration support.
My Gear:
Equipment:
Legacy Atziri's Acuity is key for this build. It gives us instant leech, and provides us with more than enough int for all our gems. Our 2H Sword gives Hit's Can't be Evaded, which is a huge damage boost and makes worrying about accuracy completely unnecessary. It also gives 20% chance to deal double damage, another massive damage boost. Our chest makes our Cyclone a 7-link by adding Maim, gives us free cyclone, permanent power/frenzy charge generation, and allows us to use two curses. Hypnotic Whorl is also a great item and gives us our second curse whenever we hit: Assassins Mark. This curse grants us base crit and extra crit multi, as well as power charge generation when we kill. The synthesized boots give permanent Onslaught, and a ton of movespeed and life, while also providing some nice res and immunity to freeze, as well as an abyss socket. For our helmet, we use a rare helmet to help cap out our resists, as well as provide additional cold penetration. 40% Cyclone Damage, 15% Cyclone attack speed, or 12% Blood Rage attack speed are the preferred enchants. If you are using different gear and don't need the resists from a helmet, you can also use an Abyssus for a huge damage boost. However, this is completely unnecessary as we already have enough damage to kill any boss in the game in seconds, and insta-phase Shaper and Uber Elder. It also makes you squishier.
Flasks:
Most of these are self explanatory. Curse Immunity on Diamond Flask is crucial for fast mapping and not worrying about increased damage taken from curses. Taste of Hate is amazing for damage and survivability. Make sure your cold resist is always at least equal to your highest uncapped resist, so you get an additional 20% cold penetration from The Wise Oak.
Jewels:
The most crucial jewels are Watcher's Eye with Cold Conversion and Cold Penetration, and 2x Might of the Meek + Unnatural Instinct. 2x Might of the Meek + Unnatural Instinct gives us a massive damage boost as well as a ton of extra life and resistances. One of my Might of the Meeks also gives immunity to Corrupted Blood. Get a jewel with this, it doesn't have to be a Might of the Meek. In 3.7, Unnatural instinct no longer gives a huge crit multiplier bonus, but it is still worth it for the bonus life and huge attack speed bonus. The accuracy it gives is also nice before you get a hits can't be evaded weapon. Watcher's Eye cold damage conversion brings our total cold conversion to 80%. With the additional penetration, it brings our total cold penetration to 54% (85% with ele weakness), which will easily reduce the cold resistance of almost any monster in the game into the negatives. For the rest of your jewels, focus on %life + crit multi and attack speed. You can also get some elemental resistances from these if needed. For Abyss Jewels, You want flat life + attack speed if you've crit recently. You also want % chance to gain onslaught on kill on at least 1 abyss jewel for faster mapping (if you do not have onslaught on boots). If you can get a good one, Lethal Pride is a great option in place of a rare jewel.
Legion League/Budget Variant:
Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/KZspCc1m
 This is the relatively budget version I am currently running on Legion. The gear is about 10-15 ex total. It has about 980k shaper dps, 8.5k life and 4.6k leech/second. It can do all the content in the game without issue. This budget version uses a Voidforge, which does insane damage for a unique item, and is cheap to boot. The main difference between the Standard build and this one is that we do not use Atziri's Acuity, and instead use rare gloves. Tombfist are also a great option and also give you intimidate. We also take vaal pact, and go Slayer instead of Champion for overleech. As long as you make these changes, you can still go the normal version of the build as well, as long as you can afford the gear.

Dude, thx for this build. But how about leveling and leveling skill tree plz?
|
|
" I have now added a level 80 and level 90 variant to the Path of Building pastebin. You can swap to these using the drop down menu at the bottom left of the tree. I also added priorities for which ascendancies to choose first to the ascendancy section. As for gear while leveling, just use typical leveling uniques like Tabula and Goldrim etc. I didn't include detailed leveling instructions, because this build doesn't really shine until you get your endgame items.

As a cyclone lover i have to say congratz for your work.
Being a crafter my self, i did realized that sometimes its impossible to fix the exact desire item rolls we dreamed for our build therefore were obligated to mirror items in order to proceed for greatness. I like alot the overall idea and the overall itemization. Cyclone lovers United We Stand. Regards, Hamohello |

" Thanks for the kind words. Hopefully Cyclone and other melee skills receive some deserved love in 3.7! I generally don't like crafting my own items as I hate gambling, but I am proud to say that I crafted the helmet myself! |

Legacy Atziri's Acuity is key for this build. It gives us instant leech, and provides us with more than enough int for all our gems.
i cant get legacy atziri's in current league? |
|
" Correct. This build is one which requires Standard gear. However, I plan to add a Synthesis League variant later today. |

Added a Synthesis league variant section.
