[3.11] Cyclone Slayer (RETIRED)

"

Any good replacement for Lion's Roar, I know the DPS is good but I truly do not like the knockback. ;<

You could use a Granite with the attack speed mod if you want.

Took Vortex/Cold Snap Occultist to level 100 so I needed a change of pace. Went a bit different of a direction with this build. I haven't played a cyclone build since Breach, and this is my first time playing Slayer. Have to say, I LOVE it. It feels really good.

Here's what I'm working with so far. Still lots of room to improve/upgrade. Pretty sure this is the build i finish out the league with!

Nice! I struggle to push beyond 95 every league. Have fun!

Guys I found a GG circle of guilt ring....but I'm wondering...do I sell it? (worth 12+ ex) and just get a Mark of the elder with a shaper ring? Or is circle of guilt insane? I've never used it.

Thanks for any info/tips

Been trying out this build for the past days, bear in mind that I am more or less a total noob at this game and I can't really get it to work. Killing any bosses above T12 along with metas takes sometimes above a minute with deaths happening frequently, tried adding more life nodes but that doesn't really stop my character from getting stomped.

I don't feel like I am terribly undergeared either but yet the tooltip DPS is below 50k unbuffed with a 6l, more or less a perfect Starforge, belly and all the uniques recommended. 6,6k hp and all resistances capped, I'm not expecting it to blast bosses but right now it feels a bit lacklustered when I can't even kill metas that have regeneration.

Are you sure you're res capped? Cause when I import your character, your cold and lightning res aren't capped.

Drop all the life flasks, get silver and basalt. You don't have a warding flask, that along the res cap thing might be the biggest reasons you're dying. Chaos res is also a big deal this league with some metamorphs, try and fit more in if you can.

You should get Bane of Legends as soon as possible. Will make your life a lot easier when dealing with bosses/metamorphs. Try and get Vitality void and the fortify nodes next. They should help with being tankier. Other than these just level your gems, use Vaal molten shell and molten shell for tougher fights and swap to conc for now for bosses if you're still experiencing dps issues.

You will never be melting bosses with this build. If you want more dps, go crit. I can't vouch for how good the build will be even when fully geared, because the metamorphs are new and so are the boss Hp buffs. This is a relatively cheap character but the ceiling is pretty low.

Did a little bit of crafting. It's a shame about the weapon range/cyclone nerf, otherwise, I'm happy with how these turned out:



This ring turned out pretty nice too:



I also tried a bunch of times to craft a better set of elusive + tailwind boots, but I couldn't get any better than what I have. I wasn't brave enough to annul any for a multimod, so I just sold each pair at a profit. Made enough to buy this:



So it worked out for me overall.

Gz on the crafts. Elusive + tailwind attempts take around 450c. You were able to sell your attempted boots for more than that consistently?

Yep. The lowest I sold for was 4ex, most went for 5-6, which is pretty standard. Basically just tossed life or movespeed vieled mods depending on the rolls and called it a day. Before the end of the league I might go for a GG craft, but right now I'm happy with where I'm at.

Tip: You can allocate "Lucidity" in the skill tree. -3 to total mana cost of channelling skills + 30% more damage.

helped me a lot.
