[3.24] Shockwave Cyclone Build | Champion | Necropolis | Path of Exile 3.24

Hey guys, shockwave cyclone champion build is here. Cyclone is a channeling melee attack skill that rapidly hits all enemies in a circular area around the player. Cyclone gains stages during channeling that increase its base radius. The player can move while channeling Cyclone.

Build Cost
- Medium Budget: 20-50 div


Shockwave: Shockwave Support is a support gem that causes the supported attack skill to release a Shockwave on hit, dealing attack damage to enemies around the enemy. It causes the supported skill to be restricted to staves and maces.

Mana: "Socketed Attacks have # to Total Mana Cost" mod on body armour solves the mana problem.

Impale Chance:
- Dread Banner (+40%)
- Cane of Kulemak (+42%)
- Skill tree (+30%)

Forbidden Flame/Flesh: "Impact" from Slayer. You can also go for these mods:
- Headsman (Slayer)
- Bane of Legends (Slayer)
- Arena Challenger (Gladiator)

Lethal Pride: Using it for extra damage mods. Look for these mods:
- 5% chance to deal Double Damage
- 20% increased Melee Damage
- +15% to Melee Critical Strike Multiplier
- 30% increased Melee Critical Strike Chance

Leveling: Start with ground slam and keep playing until level 68 then switch to cyclone - shockwave setup. Leveling gems and trees are in the video. (Use a two-handed axe while leveling because staff nodes are way up there and all crit related.)

Leveling Uniques:
- Limbsplit (Lvl 13-33) - Reaper's Pursuit (Lvl 33-68)
- Tabula Rasa
- Karui Ward, Daresso's Salute

Anyone else playing this build and feel that it's squishy AF?
Even without the Abyssus. Random 1 shots, and can't take dot dmg at all.
I must be missing something, this is my first league back since Ultimatum.

Had this build recommended to a friend. He had random deaths during story progress and constantly during early and mid maps.

To be honest, going thought the build I don't see any defense layer for security besides armor damage reduction. So from my rather inexperienced view it looks like a glass cannon build.

"Maybe" this build would work if you play a different build to level 100 and then switch to this one... but it's a pain (!!!) to level this build beyond level 85 where you start to encounter mobs with one shot potential.

So to everyone who is considering to play this build to level up: just DONT...

Yeah I'm not new to cyclone slayer/champion, but this version of it just seems like it's glass cannon as you say.
I'm level 90, and still get insta'd randomly with or without the abyssus.
Granted, like I said above I don't have ALL the same things the OP has but those things are just more damage.

The Champion version needs Rage for Berserk. Where does it come from?

same here.
i blame the current state of melee that is lackluster for years now.

This build didnt work for me, way too squishy and the damage was meh without investing tons into it. Which is a shame.

I did this build. She is very expensive (30-40div to get good), she is good at everything but not great at anything. Its very squishy (melee cyclone squishy, its meme right?), you get one shotted frequently (What cannot happen in heists, for example).
You often die while placing totems.

I dont recommend this build for those who want to do specific content on POE. If you want to run maps (and get killed without know why), it's a good build.
