3) Do not use "Bloodseeker" or "Vall pack". You already have plenty of instant life recovery from "Life gain on hit" so it's better to keep the leech as "life overtime", wich is usefull when you aren't hitting mobs or have puncture (poison) on you
When I solo map, I use my farming gear and I have no problem to kill mobs / Boss. I also soloed 2 bosses map (so far I did all maps from lvl 66-75, starting map 76 today)
With 25k Cyclone Dps pure LL + LGH will surely work, - it works for me too since i got the claw (i mirrored the claw instead a sword in domination because it fits better in my gearsetup and the range of good items in dom isnt that high), but below that you may get Problems at the Academyboss, Megara and the 78 Dominus. The rest of the 76/77/78 Bosse are really easy for a cycloner.
Getting Bloodseeker is just a cheap and safe Variant (about 2 Ex in Domination) for soloplay
I just solo kill 2 boss Megara with my farming gear. And My dps was lower (8.6K) because I use theses items
Spoiler
I've got 69% spell block + 82% all resists, using my purity of fire, it give me 86% fire resist, and with a Ruby flask I got 96% fire resist
For academy, i didnt get a 2 boss map yet but i simply face tank it

I use this build and I really like it. I have some suggestions.
1) Try to get the passive "Amplify" skill as fast as you can (generally around lvl 85-90) Do not wait for lvl 98+. This will give you more damage and more "life gain on hit" (you will hit more mobs, so more life)
This is my skill tree at level 91 (I know I have 2 nodes of +30 Intel but I need to improve my gear to remove them)
2) Try to get your "Life Leech" from Neck/Ring/Glove instead of claw. General 4% life leech is enough. This will give you a chance to get a higher dps SWORD. Using a sword will also give you more range (6) with "Cyclone" than a claw (5)

4) Use "Concentrated Effect" instead of "Weapon elemental damage" for these reasons
a) This will globally increase your physical damage so this will improve the effect of "Hatred"
b) This will globally increase your physical damage so this will give your more life leech
c) You can replace the "Concentrated Effect" for an "Item rarity" gem (I'm in the "Domination" league so I can't use "Item Quantity". If you have Intel problems or are in the "Standard" league you may want to use "Weapon elementage damage"/"Item Quantity" instead)

Nice tips, gonna post my gear tho so you can have a clear idea of what i've got:
Rings are there because i needed intelligence for claw and didn't have any other at the moment, but of course im planning on changing them :)
i was on 14k dps cyclone with buffs i think and not using ms because of the desync.basically iwould like to get to 20-25k dps with cylcone also, the thing is i need to change items and cap resistances also xD.
Does anyone have any tips of people using this build WITHOUT tons of money to spare, i cant afford a BoR or a ST yet. Shits rough lol.
OK, BoR is the master piece of this build. So u need to farm to buy one.
Until that use a 5L/6L chest, get a cheap one with life, no need of resist because eventualy u will get your BoR. Try to get all the necessary resist from neck/ring/hands/belt/feet. try to get life on thèses items and add physical damage.
If u have a 5 link use : Dual strike + Melee Splash + Multi Strike + Life gain on hit (or Melee physical damage)
If u have a 6 link use : Dual strike + Melee Splash + Multi Strike + Melee Physical damage + Life gain on hit (or Added fire damage)
Having 2% (or more) physical damage leech as life, will help u. U can easily use melee physical damage instead of life gain on hit and pop flask (i used 3 life + 2 granite)
If u dont have the 2% life leech on item u can get "blood drinker" plus the +12% life nodes under it until u get enough life leech from gear.
Appreciate it, iv been trying to atleast chance one until i can afford one.
At 79 with pretty decent gear my cyclone dps is only 10.9k. My dual strike dps is 26.4k. Is it normal for cyclone to have so much less dps than dual strike?

Yes, but "time killing" is kinda the same. So even if u see cyclone dps so low its not like u hit a lot less.

I've made a little test on kole merciless. With 22K dps on dual strike (+melle splash), i spend around 4.5second to kill him. Switching to cyclone, the toolbox says that i have 10K dps. I've Killed Kole with this in 4.7 second. So my cyclone got a real DPS of around 20K.
If you are not satisfied of this,remember that DS+melle splash make a triangle aoe when cyclone make a circle aoe, and you are using LgoH on your cyclone, so you get really much more survivability. And another little point, when you use cyclone, you constantly move, so you will escape some of the projectiles.
