[3.10] Cyclone of Nothing, Hollow Palm Slayer/Berserk into Champion/Raider

Real Final Edit: This guide is not up to current patch information and a lot of this has changed, however hollow palm was very enjoyable, and it probably still is in whatever future patch you come across this old theorycrafting build for the original hollow palm patch. Goodluck exile, some of this may still be useful, who knows.


My finished version of this build up to lvl 95. Clearing content I am enjoying (red tier 5 orb, full simulacrum).

If you want a normal PoB for Scion hollow palm as slayer/berserker using pure phys cyclone impale. This is reflect immune cyclone(slay), with huge damage potential(Berserk). Here is that PoB(community fork)

Without warcry jewel abuse Slay/Zerk:

My variation at its end as Champion/Raider. This is the final build for this guide(also listed below in detail):

Here is the bare bones PoB(community fork) 40 unspent passives I started with. 5k health 1 million PoB Sirus/Shaper dps.

It's just hollow palm, no flasks, no modifiers in PoB config. Slayer/Berserker

That's where this all started. I saw huge potential in this new jewel.

TL:DR My ramblings about hollow palm cyclone being able to crush late game 5 orb maps. It ended up being very interesting, a little OP though with warcry setup. You can just grab the PoB and skip reading all my bullshit(please). Any questions feel free to ask. Goodluck!

-This is my journey to that goal. Which I'm now at with the final version.

I don't play Path of Exile, I just like to think about playing Path of Exile.

It reads like an angry love note, enjoy.

Aimless rambling with no remorse:

So using 2 warcry gems, here is this: https://pastebin.com/vqjjgCLx

Then me trying to allocate for a 3 cluster setup: https://pastebin.com/YEbArp6u

Honestly all versions of this build benefit straight from the warcry medium cluster cry wolf. So you have to run rally and enduring. That's 2 gem slots. The dps on a build this style requires 2 unset rings, however your dps on paper goes from 5 million up to 8.5 million with just that extra Unset rings. So currently I'd consider double unset as build enabling. Without double unset, you can do any boss or map with few issues, except those really hard 5 orb'd red tiers fully stacked. You can add a medium channeling damage jewel with Immune to Curse while channeling, and generate 1 endurance charge while channeling 25% chance every few seconds or something. I like the on demand option again being lazy. Up to you though, I'd just add another cry wolf and call it a day.

Of course that being the goal...I'm very close to it. I think switching between these rings is where you find that balance.

I also looked more into running assassin for a crit build:

Unnatural instinct:

I now remain back at doing Champion & Raider. 1 unset ring for anything below tier 10 5 orb corrupt / 4 sextant full roll maps. Anything above this map level at full orbs/sextants I suggest strongly to get 2 unset rings, unless you want to be brave without a movement ability which is always a shitshow. Swapping weapons remains very useful if you can get rampage started, but I find that just swapping the belt out for bisco's at start of clear then keeping rampage has been pretty OK. Also red tier maps 5 orbs without rampage of course. Obviously getting rampage with Dancing Duo is super optimal but I don't expect myself to do that as i'm super lazy, and get distracted picking up loot, letting rampage fall off.

molten shell > steelskin:


This is going to be my end to Scion Hollow Palm: This is the actual final build. I chaos spammed deep cuts large clusters and fixed a few issues.

Here's the new Large Cluster Jewels for the final build:


Edit420: Grabbed a few jewels and rings tried 1200 dex, was ok.

Each Cry Wolf passive is around 700k-1mil extra dps. Like this:

Old (before deep cuts) worn gear:

Final worn gear:

All gear used through builds:


All Flasks used:

All Jewels used:


Gear worn to level gems in (hidden/swap):

Leveling:

I am now moving this build to a pure Champion. Scion has a lot of really awesome interactions and possibilities, but Champion is just OP as fuck for any melee skill, so here I go. Build plan near identical here if interested:

Items used as Champion:

The end of a beginning: Changes at 92 Champion

I guess I should mention I can do all content with these builds.
I just set a higher build goal than Sirus deathless for hollow palm.
Which I have already done with all of these hollow palm builds this league.

I keep the majority of my builds from all leagues fully geared as they were during that specific league, as I don't play standard.

If you have questions you can ask here, or in-game, I don't mind. I'm mostly afk in game working on next league's build, so I don't always reply quickly.

Saved

95 Champion

Path of building community fork 95 champion savior cyclone by Dopesick:

This is entirely separate at this point, I leveled champion to 92 as hollow palm, and tried out savior with the build. It's insane. Idk how else to describe it. I can run 5 orb 16's and guardian maps. You still get random 1 shot every 3-4 maps.6.2k health is pretty nice so far. Other than that, this build is just ridiculous. 30-60 mil dps. Hope you enjoyed the league! I did!

I have been having alot of fun running with my hollow palm Scion trying out all the cluster jewels and gears for the last 3 weeks!

Thank you very much for this guide!

Yeah I loved it, so many combinations to mess with! I have no idea how many regret orbs I used on her trying new things.

I know right! It was alot of orbs of regret...

As it gets closer to end of this league I'll re-purpose my scion to herald stack build just so i can try it. Been avoiding it all league, I love using warcry again after so many years.
