Does this build heavily relies on cyclone, is it playable with duak wield insted of 2H ? I have 2 swords and i would like to know if i could use them for this build, have a limited budget...

Cyclone is used for clearing packs during boss fights when you are running Damage on Full Life Support, applying Fortify, applying the Infusion buff, and gaining Frenzy/Power charges. You need it in the build, but you can just three link it. I would recommend the following:

Sword 1:
Cyclone > Infused Channeling > Fortify

Sword 2:
Vaal Ancestral Warchief > Ancestral Protector > Multiple Totems Support.

Since you won't be getting much damage from Cyclone or the Totems, it's better to just use them to further buff your Flicker Damage.

For slayer, would I do everything the exact same? I just swapped it all over on pob and it went from 14m to 17m. Just want to make sure nothing needs changing. Not sure how you'd generate frenzy charges without cyclone channel.

Also, console pleb :( what weapon would you recommend instead of 6l starforge? It's not even on the market yet lmao. I'm assuming terminus? I can get a 5l for that for a few c.

You'll need to run Farrul's Fur instead of Bronn's Lithe on Slayer so you can generate charges and drop Herald of Purity so you have enough mana to cast Flicker Strike.

Something like this:

I may extend this guide to include Assassin, Raider, and Slayer. All have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Spacefight0r thanks for all the feedback :)

I'm on standard, so I can't speak to metamorph bosses. What I will say is that immunity phases and degen is absolutely brutal and may make a healing flask necessary for some fights. If you ever want to get tankier, you can always drop some DPS for more life in the boots and ring slots.

What do you think about using carnage heart, i made this build again in metamorph and i think that amulet works really well as a cheap alternative

Hi, i see you use on a rider Farrul's Fur and Farrul's Bite. This setup is better than bronn's with fractal thoughts? Which setup do you like more for a Trickster?

Hi,

so which build should we bollow the one you updated in page 17/18 or at the frontpage?

It depends on the situation. Farrul's Fur is a DPS/eHP loss but a quality of life upgrade. I mostly find it useful for bosses that spend a lot of time immune and/or have a ton of HP. The Farrul's Bite is also a DPS/eHP loss, but adds blind on hit and Aspect of the Cat.

Overall, I'm really liking it. Try it out if you can get your hands on one.
