[3.7] 1H-Impale Cyclone Champion/Slayer - 16M+ Shaper DPS Fullbuffed / 158%-220% Movspeed Speedy Boy

How do you think champion w/ carcass jack compares to slayer w/ bronn's? Less damage but more aoe (with life and res to boot) seems like a good trade for the champion version.

as long as your damage if fine for you yes, its quite a solid option, increasing your radius by 5 points. If you use pulverise aswell it goes to 35 which comes close to slayer baseaoe which is already really big.

I dont understand where the damage is coming from, if you unequip the gloves you lose all your damage in POB can you please expalain to me where you got the calculations from?

The most fun I have ever had playing Cyclone. Wow, it's amazing

There are a couple of mechanics that Path of Building cannot calculate. The buff from Close combat and the damage coming from impale are two of these mechanics.

So he just put the damage those two things would give as an stat in an item to get the real values. Its not that those gloves are giving him all his damage, its just that he is using some invented mods on those gloves to get real numbers.

Hello, wanted to ask a few things about slayer version. You are saying that slayer has less damage and more aoe, but is it all that differs actually? What about utility? And is it viable? Anyone who made it to maps with slayer already, how does it feel?

Hello,
Thanks for build =)

Can i use Gladiator? Which skills should i select?

Will CWDT cast skills that you dont have enough mana for? Or does CWDT ignore mana costs?

e.g. I have all reserved except for 30 mana, my Ice Golem costs 36 mana. Will it be cast?

Update:

Beat UberElder on my second try and last portal with the Champion version.

Had roughly 6k life with the Bronn's Lithe, so i was still getting one-shotted.


As i said before, the damage is more than enough! :D


Thanks again for the guide and good luck everyone!

Couple of Questions:

Slayer seems nicer for Aoe, but if you are trading dmg for aoe (To clear maps) couldn't the same thing be achieved with a gem swap on champion? (IE pulverize for clearing and melee phys for bossing) Its not quite the same 50% aoe from the slayer ascendancy, but its close.

Are there any advantages to slayer other than AOE? (the phys reflect is nice, but I can reroll those mods)

The dmg for close combat, is it being used at all ranges of the cyclone circle, or do I need to stand ON them.

Following that thought, would increasing the AOE mean decreasing the effectiveness of Close Combat?


One more question:

How do you reliably generate frenzy charges to power phase run? seems like I'm rarely getting enough to get more than 1 maybe 2 if I'm lucky. And even that is not frequent.

Loving this build, I thought cyclone would be boring but NOPE!
