Duelista - [3.7][LSC] Slayer Staff Cyclone (Crit/Phys/Impale) / All Content / 2M+Shaper Dmg - Fórum

Hi guys, with 3.7's melee update, cyclone builds are very popular this league. Most of the cyclone players are using swords or axes, as a result, these endgame weapons are now pretty expensive and are somewhat hard to acquire. Given how staves are still cheap this league, this build manages to be budget-friendly yet endgame viable. Can be used as a league starter. Why use Staff? (besides being cost-efficient) Spoiler ~~Because I can't afford Starforge.~~ Staff has some very good crit nodes in the top-left side of the tree, with Slayer's new ascendancy Overwhelm, staves that only has 5% base crit chance will still crit very well. This also makes Disintegrator a very decent endgame weapon. Another minor upside is endurance charges, with reliable melee crit chance, we can maintain 3 charges while mapping and bossing, extra tankiness. Pure Phys - Impale Chance & Effect Spoiler With this build we'll get 90% impale chance and 78% increased impale effect from Imaple Support, Dread Banner and Swift Skewering. This makes a impale record around 18% phys dmg per stack, offering a multiplier close to 80% more. Some math Spoiler (1+17.8%5)90% + 110% = 1.80 Realistically, it's will be lower since you won't have full stacks in the initial hits, and will not be able to expire all stacks before killing a boss. 1.

FAQ Pros & Cons Spoiler + Endgame weapon is budget friendly + High single target damage with impale mechanics and slayer cull + Good for delving + Dodge without stop attacking + Tanky, 170% increased life, 40~50% physical dmg reduction while channeling + Can be a league starter - Need some stats (int/dex) on gear - Not using Brutal Fervour - Mana issue need specific mana related mods on gear Viability Spoiler ☑ All Map Mods - No dead mods, but "no leech" is dangerous ☑ Uber Lab ☑ Atziri/Uber Atziri ☑ Shaper ☑ Elder/Uber Elder Videos Spoiler Shaper (deathless) https://youtu.be/g0YtJo9_pd0 UberElder (deathless) https://youtu.be/HUL0Ud_7nGs Uber Atziri https://youtu.be/8BR0Q245A-4 Shaper (using Hegemony without Watcher's Eye, 2nd phase 5link) https://youtu.be/8OmjxL5wzbU Uber Elder (using Disintegrator without Watcher's Eye) https://youtu.be/LPnbcM-bWGU Passive Spoiler Bandits - Kill All Passive Tree Overview Spoiler Path of Building (Lv.90 passive tree with my current gear; also include Lv30/60 leveling trees) https://pastebin.com/uMsGHY30 Spoiler Some of the effects aren't included in the PoB calculation, hence added a custom Jewel above Resolute Technique to calculate actual DPS. Slayer Ascendancy Order Spoiler Overwhelm is good for staves that don't have the increase crit% mod, you can take other ascendancies if you are using a Hegemony's Era. Pantheon Spoiler Major Gods - Soul of Lunaris Minor Gods - Soul of Gruthkul Links Spoiler Cyclone Links (In Chest or Weapon) Cyclone + Impale + Brutality + Infused Channeling + Melee Phys. + Fortify (can be 7linked with Shaper/Elder weapons or Maim supported chest) CwDT Setups CwDT + Orb of Storms + Power Charge on Critical + Purifying Flame CwDT + Blade Vortex + Curse on Hit + Assassin's Mark Spoiler 1. Purifying Flame creates consecrated ground which can help increase crit% against bosses if triggered. (Optional) 2. CwDT BV setup can be ignored if you have Curse on Hit rings or gloves. 3. If you have free slots, you can consider fossil crafting abyssal jewel sockets onto your gear to upgrade your character furthermore. Aura/Buffs Flesh and Stone + Maim Blood and Sand, Dread Banner, Precision, Blood Rage, Molten Shell Ancestral Protector or Vaal Ancestral Warchief Movement Skills Leap Slam, Dash Gear & Stats Gear Spoiler Staff Spoiler For endgame, try getting a 550+DPS Eclipse Staff. Hegemony's Era and Disintegrator are decent and cost-efficient choices. Chest Spoiler Mod Priority: Life > Ele Res. > Stats Later on, you can fossil craft a chest with mana reduction and/or Maim supported mod. Decent uniques: Belly of the Beast, Carcass Jack Helmet Spoiler Mod Priority: Life / Ele Res. Decent uniques: Starkonja Gloves Spoiler Mod Priority: Atk Speed / Flat Phys > Life / Ele Res. Mana issue can be solved with "leech as mana" mod. Boots Spoiler Mod Priority: Movement Speed > Life / Ele Res. Belt - Perseverance Spoiler With Fortify as our 6th link, we can have perma onslaught using Perseverance. The movement speed bonus via onslaught is very good for cyclone builds, also makes our gameplay a smoother. Can use a rare Stygian belt or The Tactician instead.
