[2.3] Shakk's Cyclone Build. A story about a man and his fists.

What if in a boss fight you get stunned? You die?

What if you open a box and get frozen? You die as well?
Uhmm .. while using cyclone you are immune to stun ...

the golem doesn't do much. i'm only lvl 66 but it takes my dps from 33k to 34k. the chaos one is similar but for defense. pretty marginal. theres no reason not to use it though. what else are you going to do? can always take a portal gem, faster casting with flame dash, riposte/vengeance, blind on your tempest shield, or something else marginal like that. you could potentially link it to cwdt. is there some significantly good option? i hate summoning this thing.


Well the point is, you don't lose anything by summoning it, only gain extra dps. I get almost 4k dps from it.

@nedl9vsex

You don't get stunned, if you get stunned, you're not cycloning enough.

As for freeze boxes, well that goes for any build, just have your Rumi's flask ready and insta health pots about, could always have 1 anti-freeze flask on you.

the 3 auras tree doesn't work actually, just tested on my character ..


It does, you need an enlighten lv3 gem.. Otherwise a lv2 enlighten and an extra 4% mana reserve node. You can use this Aura Calculator



i solved this by using conqueror's efficiency instead of the +10% dmg jewel which is also a solution

And when do you use shield charge to boost you endurance charges, which also need to be rebuffed every 10 seconds?

To be fair, trying to keep fortify up 100% of the time is not optimal at all, but you should get stunned with over 4.5k life so easilly either way. Try to instantly cyclone after a charge, thats how I usually do it.

Thanks for your input! One more thing i`d like to ask about that stun issue.

What if we spend 2 more points and get Unwavering Stance (Cannot evade enemy attacks\Cannot be stunned), and use all armour based equipment, instead of evasion?

Meh, not worth the 3 points you'll use to get that, getting stunned is not a problem that's relevant for this build. You're better off getting more block or armor from those 3 points.

Yeah, i guess you`re right.

Do some more videos please, when you have some free time! :)
Been testing a bit with Rampart cluster, I'm still a bit undecided if it's worth the 5 points. It's a good dps boost, but so far it seems quite unneeded... Will post alternate tree without rampart. Point is, if you link Fortify to Cyclone, Rampart is preferred, otherwise it's not.
