[3.7] Ahfack's Crimson Cyclone | Shaper FULL Life Kill Vid | 100% Pure Phys | All Content | PoBs

Just reached mapping ... not sure if i messed up by going 2h Sword route over Axe ... any good 2H swords you guys suggest i use?

New to Cyclone. I read some of the replies to this thread, but was still confused.

How are we supposed to manage our mana reserves without Enlighten? What's the optimal setup before we're able to afford an Enlighten in terms of the recommended Pride, Blasphemy, Vulnerability setup.

Thanks.

at the moment I am just playing around in PoB but Flesh and Stone + Maim seems to be better than Pride

F&S with maim linked is 30% increased damage taken vs the 19% (39% after 4s) from pride, but you have to be in bloodstance and lose the range from Blood & Sand.

long story short: pride, flesh & stone + maim, blood and sand, dread banner maybe?

Flesh and Stone + Blood and Sand =
Sand: more Area of Effect + blind for nearby + damage reduction for ranged enemies
Blood: more Area Damage + maim for nearby enemies (so it can be replaced by something else in the main link) + 30% increased damage taken

blood and sand is a given but im not so sure about flesh and stone.
if i understand bex correctly F&S+maim is 34% more damage in blood stance and no boost in sand. so we would have

flesh and stone
mapping: no increased damage
bosses: 34%

pride
mapping: 19% more
bosses: 39% more

i dont run maim in my 6-link, instead i use melee physical damage since it doesnt need to proc and its a lot more damage in PoB.

at least it is a lot more flexible compared to pride with less mana reserved and more damage in blood stance

true

For now I would say:
Vulnerability/Blasphemy + Flesh & Stone/Maim + Blood & Sand + Dread Banner
(83% reserved without Enlighten and melee physical support instead im Miam linked to Cyclone)

still testing but its hard to get a feel whats better when everything dies so fast.

PS:
Something different, are the Impale nodes on the tree really worth it?
Especially if Impale Support is not always used anyway

Replacing them by Red Storm Martial Experience (and taking the Axe Damage nodes by Hatched Master) and always using Pulverise as 6th Link seems to be better?
(or do I miss something?)

mapping doesnt really need more damage imo (thats why the 19% from pride are questionable except for maybe legion stuff) but impale offers us a lot of single target and since that was/is the problem of cyclone ill keep them.

for leveling im using war banner because the impale nodes are only taken at ~lvl90. everything impale (banner, nodes, gem) slows you down while leveling imo.

Even on a 6L, any ring with -8 mana cost makes cyclone free, also takes leap slam cost down to 4! You could use a conqueror's efficiency unique jewel until you get any sort of enlighten lvl 2. Level up enlighten in your offhand in a haku +6% quality to support gems weapon! I put a -9 mana cost craft on my ring and my leap slam is down to 3 cost. Don't even need to get mana leech at all.

How do you have 16% unreserved mana in your PoB build? It doesn't look like it accounts for the 10% res from blood and sand... I have an enlighten lvl 3 and I'm sitting at 2% mana unreserved with blasphemy/pride, banner, blood and sand, and pride.

how come u dont use chance to bleed?

extra chance to bleed/ more bleed dmg/ added phys?

Trying to update PoB a little since new gems are showing up, however not everything is working.

I'm pretty busy so don't have a lot of time to dive into everything more than a few minutes right now, but it appears PoB still doesn't calculate Impale or Pride correctly.

The 4 extra points on the tree is for a jewel I'm using to correct what PoB doesn't calculate, of course I'm not sure if it's all right or if I'm missing something. Just trying the best thing possible. Feedback welcome!

Jewel has these contents:

EDIT: Any reason for not taking the Martial Experience wheel?

Only me didnt uderstand how to swap Pulverize and Impale in same axe coz Pulv is red soc and Impale is green? Or i need ot chose only one? Or i need to have disfavor with white socket?

Hello Ahfack, thanks for this amazing build, have you tried to replace Impale by Rage, i've tried it on your latest POB and the damages were skyrocketting.
