Maybe its time to "UN-Nerf" Soul Taker

I disagree. Soul taker is still the best unique for cyclone while cyclone offers much faster clear speed compared to any facebreaker build out there despite a much lower written DPS.

Kaom's heart is still quite useful if you know how to use it. The current standard market price of 5-7 exalt is really fair.

Care to explain why a soul taker has better clear speed? Is it the range? If not then im really curious of what makes you think it does.

here you go.

first pic is with conc eff and life leech gem, my normal setup for atziri

second one is high dmg version with add fire dmg and atziri flask turn on

there is aditionally about 6-7k dmg from onslaught mod from Death Rush ring

i made a little changes to test Shadows and Dust so its why 2k dps less then i wrote

You don't even have 4k HP...

really you give me a dual wield build to compare with a shield build?

im speachless, nice one but why dont you look in http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/922124/page/1 its called "cyclonus" also using a soultaker dualwield it could bump your dualwield dps by another 50k easily.

why should i?

with 22% life leech and vaal pact i get about 9% instant leech. i get go throught Apex without even using flasks (except "remove bleeding" on trio)

well you gave me a dual wield build i gave you another dual wield ST build to compare while both my facebreaker and the one i gave you have zero troubles at atziri i could be mean and link you a 220k dps dual wield build which make atziri and every map boss look like lolz wtf stomped but thats not the point, the point is we compared shield builds here, while for dualwield i agree soultaker is > facebreaker although for dualwield build its crit dualwield > soultaker so yeah nothing special about your build sorry.

i didn't read entire topic to check if you are talking about DW or Shield. I made my statement that there is nothing wrong with nerfed soultaker. of course i would like to get a 200% one, but its not necessary. ST is still powerfull
