Been looking into this build for some time leading up to friday, considering my options etc. I ended up even trying out the budget version in T11 maps on standard. Obviously it wasn't the perfect iteration of the budget build but it was relatively close, most items being the same with just gem levels being somewhat low, and it felt a bit weak for clear speed, not to mention the bossing was terrible (granted, coves is a fairly chunky double boss).

Cutting it short though, what I want to get at is if you would recommend this cyclone version over a Slayer as a starter and perhaps working into this one or the flicker version immediately later? Slayer obviously providing far less in defense, but more so in damage and AoE.

EDIT: Also, the new min-maxed tree and build is really neat. Is it truly just better to just not use clusters at all? Granted this build mainly focuses on the flicker end, but as you've now dabbled more with Cyclone also on the high end I'd love to know!

Really cool guide on a build that never had crossed my mind as an old Flicker player.

yes, starting as slayer cyclone is far far superior to starting as gladiator cyclone early in the league. but it's up to preference really.. I prefer to gear up slowly while being @max block to level up as fast as possible without many deaths. Nonetheless, Slayer is a very solid option though for both damage and clear. Also, the slayer's leech @full life provides a solid defensive layer for most content.

implementing clusters into any version of my build is a bad idea UNLESS you are lvl 100, then it's optimal to use a Megalo cluster or a very good Mid cluster.

Hey thanks for the guide, I havn't played poe since delve I think. Which slayer ascendancy's would you pick if you wanted to run this with the new slayer and using flicker?

Build seems pretty fun, it has also been ages since I have played anything other than a Templar or Shadow.

One question I do have. How terrible does the build feel for Cyclone & Flicker Strike prior to getting all of the required -Mana mods on your jewelry? I have played a few builds that have a very specific requirement like that, and as a starter build it can feel extremely terrible until you can meet those requirements.

Ok im starting flicker, havent done it since like 3.6...

Can anyone explain why glad vs any other ascendancy that may have gotten buffed or reworked?

I typically only play 1 character per league so Id like whatever ascendancy has the highest gear ceiling to work towards.

hey man, i checked the stuff in POB and I seem to have around 800k cyclone dps with really scuffed items, do you think that this is going to be enough to clear early content (a1-a5 elderslayers, map bosses up until red maps etc)?

my cyclone only does 2666.3 damage, doesn't seem to be very viable for leveling.
