Looking for a Facebreaker Maruader Guide with Cyclone

Edit: I've made up my mind, Facebreaker as a maruader seems like the way to go, but currently looking for a good guide, if anyone knows a good one, redirect me to it please. been browsing the maruader forum abit and haven't found any guide yet so far and to unexperienced myself to go on my own.




Hello everyone, I've been rolling around with my 71 trapper, but I feel so bored when playing it, I wasn't sure i'd like to to begin with when starting it but gave it a chance, but when doing maps I get so extremely bored of running around fleeing from fights throwing traps around, I'm more the kind of guy that wants to survive the fight by fighting it.

I'm really interested in playing a melee character with a fun build, I'm currently very poor on currency so cant afford much gear.

Been searching the forums, but it's really hard for me to find proper builds, having trouble reading through long guides and it's hard to know If they can work as a budget version to of the build because most of the guides and builds out there is just players showing off their insane characters.

Do you know any decent melee build or Cyclone build, I've seen somebody run Cyclone with discharge stuff going on just destroying everything in his path, but don't know if this is still a viable build after several of patches and nerfs nor do I know any decent guide for it....


Anyway you know abit of me and what I like now, hopefully somebody could help me out, I know alot of people might think omg go to these sites etc, but its really hard to me to read through texts and stuff due to IRL issues and I'd prefer if you could direct me to a awesome build/guide that I can run with and enjoy POE with!


Thanks for all the responses

Kind regards
Pjey

Seems cool gonna wait and see what else others can suggest and see from that, anyway thanks Reaction~ for your suggestion really appriciate it! :)

I followed the above guide.

Soul taker is not necessary (though it would add a lot of damage, taking out blood magic)

I find the BoR, is almost a must. It just helps so much.

I pull 9k DPS with cyclone (hatred on) and I find that I kill single target mobs quicker than 25k dual strikes.

De-syncing is an issue. Easily more than half my deaths are from De-syncs. (Especially maps with Piety as end boss)

Be careful when using Cyclone. If you spam click it on your characters location, you can lose lots of health fast.

These are just some tips at the top of my head.

I'm not going to be able to afford a BOR anytime soon, got zero luck at all with looting good stuff, probably why I want to make a fun character instead of doing this boring running around character, not a very good combination of not getting anything and not having fun ^_^....


anyway how about discharge cyclone builds any out there or any other interesting builds?

Try cyclone facebreaker

I run a discharging Cyclone build and actually it is extremely costly to be effective at it. You would want a Voll's Protector at least 5l (3 Ex+) and a Voll's Devotion (10 Ex+) and even then since you have your passive tree mainly specced for Offense (crit), it can be hard to get defensive enough to not be that gear dependant, but most of the time you have to get good gear to not die.

It CAN be build cheaply and be somewhat effective but you loose a lot of killspeed that way and then you might as well play a conventional Cycloner.


I would suggest you buy yourself Facebreaker gloves and play that with Cyclone. It is extremely strong, can be incredibly tanky and you don't really need Bringer of Rain for it although it is what you strive for in endgame unless you like to play more offensively and get Abyssus.

OR

You can make a cheap Goddess Scorned build that abuses the elemental auras Anger and Wrath, you can get nice dmg on it if you scale your crits via passive tree and the aura passives help to ramp up the dmg even further. Couple it with Cyclone and Spectral Throw and you are golden. Nice dmg (ignite, shock) and if you use Hatred you permafreeze nearly everything with Cyclone so it can be extremely safe too.

I see, Discharger out of the picture then, any guide for the facebreaker cyclone build or the Goddess scorned build that I could roll with?

bump to see if i can get this guy to respond

I'm a self found player so keep that in mind, but I play Cyclone FB and love it. Have managed to find these gems



That helm really skyrocked my damage, but rings and amulet with +physical damage help a lot too.

Go lots of life as you will need it for regen and to increase your leech return (20% of max per sec).

here is my current build (subject to change as I like using regrets apparently)

http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEAAdwB5wJxBLMFLRQgFE0WbxkuG8gb-h0UJd8n7SmlMZ4yCTWSNug64TwtQKBDMUd-SshM_03jTipPfVBHUFBRYFRJVcZYY1ivWfNeE18_YEtlTWaeapNsRm5pbqpwfXJscql07XgNeu982YBWgziE2YTviPGMz49Gnrmfy6IApBmmV6cwqW6rxaxZrKqvbLXytkG3Prndvoq-p8APwBrE9sWKxq7G2M9l0NDSTdSP1e3nUudj7w7vfPAf8i_yRfZI97760v4K_o8=

Just be aware that cyclone seems to cause a lot of desync, so it comes with a particular play style.

If you don't want to go for uniques, I've been toying with the idea of a dual claw (with claw block) cyclone with CI & Ghost Reaver. You should be able to build that from ground up on the cheap.

Should also mention I currently solo lv 70 rare maps. Haven't been able to try higher yet...stupid drop rate. The only thing that kills me is Dominus on Merc because sometimes desync happens and cyclone won't stop so I can't run and I can't get out of the Hand of god smash in time.
