[3.17] For Slayer / Champion - Ngamahu Cyclone / Consecrated Path / Tectonic Slam

This build is so good!

Was doing an Ice Shot/Barrage Raider but was really struggling against some bosses (level 87). I'm level 69, uncapped resists, with the Slayer right now and can do pretty much any T7 below rare map. Looking forward to upgrading gear and trying some endgame content!

But one question: Devoto's Devotion should be a priority for head gear, right?

Hi there. Is the helmet that you are using the recommended helmet? and how do you get the 40% Increased cyclone Damage? Thanks . Planning on doing this build :)

The helmet recommends is this one:



The 40% increased Cyclone Damage is an enchantment you can only get in the Eternal Labyrinth

Devoto and bronn's 5L, you could try to get a Carnage heart as an amulet.

And don't forget to 4L your gloves and boots!

Okay, will try to get these asap. Devoto's and Carnage will be easier I think. But using BRONN should I pick the Iron Reflexes node and turn those juicy 1700+ evasion into armor? I think swapping my items will leave me with 2500~3000 armor (have 3800 rn, 1k from armor).

Thanks @sortys16 for the advice, same to you @kira1414 and for the build! Next goal: Max level for all my gems, make them all 20 quality, then buy xoph's!

Sorry for the stupid question, but why do you recommend using "Increased Area of Effect" or "Concentrated Effect" in 6L bronn 3r2g1b setup? Isn't "Elemental Focus Support" better for dmg?

Yeah Kira recommends 3000 armour at least without Iron Reflex. I rather play with Iron Reflex specially with the Bronn's Lithe.

In the gems set up part you have two set up, one with Increased area + Elemental focus and an other with just Increased Area.

After Kira mentioned for boss fight to switch with Concentrated Area instead the Increased.

Maybe a stupid question but what lvl do I want to keep my Cast when damage taken and Immortal call at?

Tried shaper yesterday. Everything else went smooth, but the freaking teleport thing ate all my portals. Last time trying shaper i was playing a char with whirling blades as his mobolity skill and the teleport was the easiest move to avoid, but now with this leap slam... Oh boy.

Somehow managed to 6L my bronn's in about 140 fuses... Just wondering if melee physical support is better than elemental focus here since the damage boost is the same but melee support still ignites?

Also for the two ngamahu gem set ups, is one generally more superior than the other?

I have some left over currency and want to get optimal colours on my gear.

i might shake the core of our gems with it but how is faster attacks really better than conc effect/ele focus?

i currently run shaper with:

cyclone
WED
damage on full life
melee phys
conc effect

and faster attacks

but what on earth do we really get from faster attacks? afaik it is a massive downgrade in cyclone dps compared to conc effect/ele focus (or whatever you are using as 6th link). i go down from ~8 attacks per second to 7. means we only procc molten burst 1,4 times per second over the 1,6 times with 8 attacks.

is that really worth it?
with 9 projectiles i have 690k damage with molten balls x 1,4 = 966k dps with dying sun up
with 9 projectiles i have 690k damage with molten balls x 1,6 = 1.1m dps with dying sun up

that is a ~140k dps difference while fighting the shaper


comparing it to the cyclone numbers:

cyclone
WED
damage on full life
conc effect
melee phys
faster attacks

cyclone does 732k



with the pure cyclone focused dps setup we would run:

cyclone
WED
damage on full life
conc effec
melee phys
ele focus

cyclone does 945k


that is a 213 000 dmg increase over the 140 000 dmg from faster attacks.
now keep in mind those numbers heavily favour molten strike, since it is calculated with permanent dying sun up which is nigh to impossible on shaper.

another positive sideeffect would be the possibility of running the following gem setup on maps:

cyclone
WED
fortify (--> damage on full life boss)
melee phys
increased AoE (--> conc effect boss)
ele focus


advantages with the new gem setup:

- upload damage with cyclone a lot higher
- less dependend on molten strike
- slightly less flask depended (dying sun)
- we do more cyclone dps than most starforge/atziri axe builds (lol)
- flexible gem setup for mapping

disadvantages:

- using cyclone on a 4 link with fortify/increased Aoe needs top end gear to work our
- a lot more expensive (more gems, better gear needed)
- 5 off colors on branns is horrible


help me out please, what do you think? did i miss something here?
