Best build for Soultaker?

Hi guys i bought a soultaker a while ago.
But cant figure out what the best or really nice build is.

Hopenyou guys have some idea's.

a build that uses a lot of physical dmg and requires a lot of mana.

skills that require lots of mana are cyclone, frenzy, and such. of course you don't need to limit yourself to these but they become much more viable when you don't need to spend 200 mana per cast.
also lots of attack speed is most beneficial for soul taker, since again you can afford it. i personally went a 10 frenzy charge dual wielding blender build but ya. i wouldn't necessarily say there is one specific best build for a soul taker.

also you're most likely going to skip out on critical strikes, since its crit rate is very low.

you could also go aura heavy (like exalton did: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/918971)

Or dominating blow ( work with aura heavy too ^^ )

interesting. i tried my build as bloodseeker/soul taker for awhile after the VP nerf to try to retain instant leech but i don't prefer dual strike as an attack so i stuck with frenzy and life gain on hit instant leech instead. but i never considered going CI (because i just love evasion/acro/phase acro too much), but that guys set up is absolutely solid.

Exalton's builds usually are :D
Check out his Atziri kill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHAkhu15KFc

After he hit 99, he respecced into a very interesting (immortal?) detonate dead version: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/937687

the build i use with my soul taker is cyclone. its super tanky, easily able to breeze through most content and can almost facetank atziri,,,,, i do die a bit though.

heres my gear and passive tree.




usually i have my added fire and conc effect in BOR when im just plain owning.

some of the things i use for atziri

heres the passive tree

Thx alot guys! A block cyclone build seems nice!
What is the dps I should aim at? And go for BOR or a good 6L?

you might want a 6 link hybrid arm/es chest helps alot keeping your shield buffer up and only losing the actual hp when theres chaos dmg

if you're melee, BoR will be hard to beat because of the automatic blind
