Two things, for those of you moving onto uber elder, and finding it difficult to complete with cyclone - give blade flurry a try.

Next thing, can we talk about how cyclone crits?

I've been playing around with both cyclone and BF, and while cyclone does hit twice per attack (as we know, hence the halved aps thresholds compared to BF and other one-hit-per-attack-skills), its crit chance is still, afaik, determined only *once per attack* (not once per hit!).

You can see the difference when you are cycloning around with around a 90% crit chance - quite often (one in ten times, feels like more!) you will just cyclone through a group of mobs without anything happening. And then bam, all the mobs will get deleted as your two hits (one attack) crits on the next attack.

By contrast, blade flurry determines crits once per hit (and once per attack, as it only hits once per attack). With your BF at 6aps, you very rarely get a situation where, for the length of a cyclone animation, you don't get a crit.

BF feels smoother as a result, with less spikey damage - to me at least.

tldr:
- BF at 6aps hits just as often as cyclone at 3aps
- BF at 6aps has twice as many crit rolls as cyclone at 3aps (b/c cyclone determines crits once per attack, not once per hit)
- BF feels smoother as a result with less spikey damage pops
- Cyclone baseline damage is much more sensitive to diamond flask uptime than BF

Is there a reason why we cant replace the shield for an other one hand mulimod weapon? Was thinking hits cant be evaded, trigger sockeded gems(auto cast vortex), and non-choas dms as extra damage with spell% on a shapet opal sceptor with 20% elemental dmg as extra chaos dmg. That would make dmg go up to a an other lvl. But I might be missing something:) Going to try to puch it in on path of building when I come home. Only losing 15% block and some life and gaining probably massive dps, 10% atk speed and quality of life with vortex.

I dont know what i screwed but i have not enough leech of hp now and not enough DPS to do any of those things, also realized- my DPS went down, just put 2 jewels in my tree.

Got 3APS with cyclone, 24.5% crit chance, after killing mobs 45.5% crit chance, crit multi is decent 434%.

Can sm1 look on my tree and EQ and tell me where im missing that much dps that i cant do those endgame bosses and why my clearspeed (i dont oneshot normal mobs as it was) went down?
