[3.7] Ahfack's Crimson Cyclone | Shaper FULL Life Kill Vid | 100% Pure Phys | All Content | PoBs
See no reason to play with champion, if you can get same dmg with slayer and you don't have to stack impales, when you also get overleech (which is a huge survi bonus) + bleed immune + stun immune + more Aoe with slayer. What's more don't have to procc adrenaline.

" Hello! About to be AFK the rest of the day, but it's definitely worth reading through the old FAQ section. DO NOT FOLLOW THE TREE SECTIONS THOUGH, AS THEY ARE OUTDATED Here are some examples of new trees, although they might not be the final ones - just good guidelines - save your respec points while leveling in case you have to change later :) 3.7 preliminary tree pathing: 2H Axe Leveling/Progression: Lvl 100 Disfavour Tree/setup: https://pastebin.com/k16gxFCH Lvl 100 Axe Tree: www.poeurl.com/cpQy Level 97: www.poeurl.com/co0W Level 91: www.poeurl.com/co0S Level 87: www.poeurl.com/co0Q Level 83: www.poeurl.com/co0A Level 77: www.poeurl.com/co0v Level 69: www.poeurl.com/co0q Level 61: www.poeurl.com/co0m However do read them for basic cheap gear and good tactics to use: I'm just gonna cust and paste them here: KEEP IN MIND SOME ARE OUTDATED, BUT STILL GOOD TO READ
Can you put a leveling guide up?
" 1. There are 9 trees up in the "Trees + Ascendancy + Bandit Choice etc..." section, including 44pt, 51pt, 62pt, 77pt, 86pt, 96pt, 106pt, 116pt, and even a 123pt one. Read the "budget build recommendations" part where it shows you what to use while leveling
What about early leveling?
"
What Should I use for a 4L, 5L, and 6L?
"
How you sustain mana? Mana leech gem?
" .4% on tree .4% on gloves This is all you need
What about Witchfire Brew Flask? What about Vaal Pact?
VAAL PACT IS OPTIONAL. I'm playing this at endgame, and not using it. However, use your best judgement. If you'd like to use Vaal Pact, just regret away the 3 leech nodes shown in the picture and pick VP. Do what feels best for you and your playstyle.
No more Witchfire Brew flask. We can either use another defensive flask of your choosing or a Sulphur Flask.
What gems should I quality first?
" Belt of deceiver is fine for leveling, however retch/a good rustic with res/life would be better for us in the long run. For your 5L qualitying gems i'd go in this order: Cyclone you should quality first (aoe) brutality, maim 2nd (10% phys) melee phys (10% melee) then chance to bleed (10% bleed)
What Golem should I use if I want one?
Would Atziri's Promise Flask be beneficial at all?
" No. Because of brutality we're unable to do any chaos damage
What is a cheap way to get intelligence for enfeeble/blasphemy?
" See what works best for you. Punishment is really just the icing on the cake for damage. As a stop-gap for intelligence (if you feel like using enfeeble/high level blasphemy) I highly recommend using brute force solution as a temporary solution. This way you can just swap jewel out if you want to use it, and you'll be able to. Best of all, it's cheap! If you place the jewel by Golem's Blood on the tree, it will give you 96 int.
What Gear Should I upgrade first?
" Kaoms Daresso Devoto Retch Gloves
What to run if I don't have +1 Curse?
" Just drop punishment. Blaspemy/vuln is great for more damage. Use enfeeble in vuln's place if you want more tankiness
Is it worth running the warlord's reach jewel?
" Early on before you get good 4mod jewels, sure
Should we still use Maim support gem with new vulnerability?
" Great question! Yes, very much so. Innately, all Maim is is: " However, the Maim Gem does the following: " And Vulnerability does the following: " So essentially, we're getting 50% chance to maim on hit, which just reduced the enemy's movement speed by 30%, then our support gem and curse are doing the rest of the legwork.
How does Retch damage help us? I thought we can't deal chaos damage
" Retch damage is treated as reflected damage, so our brutality gem doesn't negate the chaos damage it deals. Retch damage cannot be scaled in any way other than what we leech. Because we're slayer, we never stop leeching, therefore, we never stop dealing damage to our enemy.
What skill should I use until level 28?
" Anything like cleave, static strike, molten strike would work
What should I run If I can't go dual curse? Do we go blood magic?
" No we don't run bm. Could use doedri ring. If single curse can run vuln/grace/blood rage or enfeeble/haste/blood rage
Isn't Crimson Dance less damge? Is it necessary?
" Crimson dance is more damage on bosses. This build was designed to do all content like bosses etc. We do enough damage on maps/clearing trash where the bleed isn't a big deal. Bleed helps on bosses a lot, especially when you have to do things like leap away from shaper slam. While you're leaping away you're still doing damage to him. Watch this gif: When I leap away, shaper is not close to 20% cull range, but while I'm leaping away the bleed is still putting in work. By the time I get back to him, he's in cull range.
Does Damage on Full Life work with Blood Rage?
" It works since 2.6, even though it doesn't display full life - very strange, but it does work!

Hello Ahfack,
First of all, thanks a lot for your help and your commitment to help everyone to play melee build. I have a question for you, Isn't interesting to take "Impact" from the slayer ascendancy? It looks interesting to have the extra AoE radius. Thanks |
|
Thx for the update. You already talked about it, but I am 100% going with Impact instead of Brutal Fervor. It would maybe be a harder decision if I was playing HC, but this league is going to be SC for me. And Impact is just too juicy for Cyclone to not take imo. Gotta see that half screen big Cyclone after all.
Got a question for you: Any thoughts about using "Flesh and Stone" instead of the Blasphemy? And then use another support instead of Maim? I mean, Maim mainly comes into play against bosses so when we switch to Blood Stance for a boss we get the Maim on top, well kind of at least. And while mapping in Sand Stance we get 11% less damage taken from far away enemies and have nearby enemies perma blinded, which should be as defensive as Enfeeble. That was at least in my planned build until I saw you not planning to use "Flesh and Stone". Also makes curse gloves useable without +1 curse. And a second thing: Maybe you have overlooked it, but as they changed Bane of Legends from giving Onslaught to giving us the benefits of Onslaught, we need a new source for Onslaught for that sweet speed on top. So far I have been thinking a few Murderous Eye jewels with Onslaught on kill and/or Silver Flask, maybe instead of the second Quicksilver or Sulphur flask you have in the PoB. Just wanted to mention it, because basically having double Onslaught is kind of a big thing for Cyclone. EDIT: Oups, forgot that we get 10% chance to get Onslaught on kill from "Slaughter". Might be enough to make it feel good, if not just going to get one jewel with another 8%. Definitely no Flask needed. Editado por útlima vez por Mecielle en 6 jun. 2019 17:34:44

in pob you have gear standart league, it's not good for the start league, u need updated this i think ^^
|
|
" Everything is OK :) gear from the standard is just a demonstration of the possibilities of this build. In the league you can easily pull out similar equipment Only beslt is legacy but all ppl always use The Retch on leagues :) its BiS ! :) ing: Sehemyr
|

I don't get it. Slayers got a huge critical buff. And we are going to give it all up for resolute technique?
|
|
Blajo , the tree have only 162% life % , it's possible to increase ?
in path of building the build have 6600 life with "( perfect gear )" ..." so we can have 5000-5500 max in started league , it's not huge |
|
@Ahfack
Do you think I could swap Cyclone and Infused channeling for Consencrated Path + Extra Physical Damage and still be a good? |
