[3.9] Bashtart's Block, Crit, Impale Cyclone Gladiator [fast dual-wielding, high dps]
|
Great build guide. I ended up sticking with Perforate since I like the skill. I like how you can switch from a boss nuke to an aoe just by changing stances. You can find my profile here: http://poe-profile.info/profile/litmusdragon?realm=pc
Haven't done high level maps consistently yet but the build feels very strong Couple of questions: 1) What does the ancestral warchief 4-link do in this build? 2) Why is Maim favored over other obvious choices like Brutality or Ruthless? Isn't Maim just 30% more damage plus a movement speed debuff (plus a little bit more damage vs maimed targets)? I feel like I'm missing something there 3) What would be the optimal unique armor if sticking with Perforate? Carcass jack probably? Last edited by Oldiri on Jun 17, 2019, 11:49:43 AM

" 1) destroys bosses 2) maim is linked with Flesh and Stone 3) Loreweave is a good option f.e. [3.2] Bashtart's Spark Inquisitor: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1838569

I was looking at your profile and was wondering what the purpose of the culling strike support is in your helmet? It doesn't seem like it offers much benefit.

Can you suggest end game items please? Also, could you help with my gear!!!
I can't do anything with cyclone without Praxis ring and it is making me lose too many resistances. Here is my PoB PoB : https://pastebin.com/GsJYKq9G Thanks in Advance! :) Last edited by TheSentrixIsHere on Jun 18, 2019, 12:27:23 AM

" The culling strike has no purpose... I just level it. Normally that should be a vaal haste gem. [3.2] Bashtart's Spark Inquisitor: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1838569

So do you use Cyclone for single target too?

|
For endgame why swords over axes?
I'm not saying axes are better, just curious about your choice | |

I have two questions so far, but I haven't finished leveling or started mapping with this character yet.
Question 1: Have you considered running a vaal double strike instead of ancestral warchief with the impale-cyclone variant? I have a friend who is running an impale-cyclone build, and he recently replace his ancestral warchief with vaal double strike and it kills bosses even faster. This is just another option that I was curious if you had tried or not. Question 2: What other uniques are you considering for this build? Primarily thinking about body armour. The ones I've been considering are: Carcass Jack for the added AOE and area damage. Loreweave is a good option for a lot of builds for a survivability item. Daresso's Defiance might also be a decent option for endurance charge generation. Belly of the Beast since it's a good all around chest for any melee build.

" Yes and the vaal ancestral warchief totems. " I think axes are also good but swords are in slittly better spot especially for dual wielding. " 1. Definitly a good option... should work just fine. 2. I think Loreweave is a good option. [3.2] Bashtart's Spark Inquisitor: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1838569
