[3.2 Raider - Cyclone] Aggnog's flaming meatball massacre

Any tips on what to upgrade next, have 16ex left? my rings are kind of shit and I'm super overcapped on resistant. Maybe some flask change? Have about 8.5k ES now.

That's a very nice chest for the ci version of this build. Getting those colours is NOT easy and 4 red 1 green 1 blue is perfect. Roll with that! I'm using fortify. Wed. Melee physical. Melee damage on full life (always up with ci). Cyclone and ele focus. Super strong. If you want crazy dps add in added fire for fortify.

I'm just about to start farming guardians and shaper. Given that people have been doing it with the life based version of this build, I'm expecting it to go very well as I'm about twice as strong as I was before swapping to ci. Will post feedback when I can.

This might have been discussed already but didn't find it:

Would you estimate there is a HC viable Version of that build?

I'd follow your tree pretty Close, but dont use blood Magic, and go for warlords mark Aura which gives us total 4,2% lifeleech and enough mana leech to run cyclone all the time.
Makes us also able to add herald of ash

I'd go for your flask Setup, i guess it's not possible to use lions roar?

I would Play Maximum T13-T14 and maybe Abyss map, the rest seems to dangerous for a melee build in HC ... What do you think?

@Norda: Your gear looks pretty good buddy. However with a 16ex budget I can make a few suggestions.

A chest with close to 900 es would make the biggest difference. 16ex should get you there with some left over if you sell your current chest also.

Some Opal rings with ele damage, ele damage with weapons, fire damage, and a flat es roll and a resist or two will boost dps a lot also but also isn't cheap.

I would swap out aoe gem for ele focus. You do not need aoe with this build. Since the nerf, I can barely tell the difference with or without it.

Also you should drop the atziri flask in favour of the wise oak flask. And just ensure your fire resist is highest. I've currently managed to get all 3 resists exactly equal, through heavy min maxing, and at that point you get triple the benefits. But all you need is to make sure your fire resist is highest.

I'd try to get your es close to 10k. That's where I'm at and it's solid. Nice gear.

My initial guess is no, it does not. That it only applies to cyclone. But I am far from an expert.

Things that I know for sure boost molten strike damage are fire damage, projectile damage, elemental damage, etc.

This should be easy enough to test though. Simply look at molten burst damage. Add cleaving node. See if it increases. If not, you can always just regret it. Like I said, I could be wrong.

Just picked up this items and boosted my dps in hidout for about 8k and my ES to 9.5k:)

Have a question about the wise oak flask. When I'm using my vinktar flask the res is going up for lightning and breaks my perfect lowest cap, have now 136% fire 83% lightning 83% cold now. Would it not be better to have taste of hate on this build and all the other flask? That would make it so all res go up the same and lightning and cold would get buffed defenses. A 16% extra defence plus the buff that taste of hate gives for cold dmg taken.

Btw how is shaper going?

Nice upgrades man. Huge dps and es boost at once.

I would keep Vinktar. It's benefit is really noticeable when it's up on bosses. I don't think taste of hate does enough to warrant one of the 5 slots. But it's really personal preference.

I actually haven't tried shaper yet but I've done all guardians deathless. Feels good. People seem to be doing shaper with the life based version so I assume we will be able to do pretty well. Will post back after but if you beat me to it, let me know how it goes :)

Don't you actually have 80% fire pen due to the Primeval Force notable? Oh and also the Forces of Nature adds another 8% so it should be 88%? Or am I missing something?

so i have been playing this build for abit now, and its incredibly engaging to play once your set of with the right gears.

i have decided to stick with carcass jack and with +2 range on the axe and inc aoe gem, cyclone feels so good again, huge aoe.

Did guardians and shaper deathless countless times. and had no problems.I did play the pathfinder

version CI for test during the end of breach on std. i sort of prefer the life variant, it just feels
faster. Sitting at around 6200 hp with carcass at level 97.

Does anyone have updated 2.6 build links from here for levels 55 and 75? The videos I've seen are from 2.5 and poeurl has been down for a long time.

I keep getting kicked for performing too many actions with this build. any help?

Can any post the non vaal pac skill tree without using poeurl.com
Poeurl is down for quite many days now...

Edit: Never mind, Poeurl is back up now.
