[3.8] Demi's FlyingPurplePeople Cyclone/Bladestorm/Earthquake/Ice Crash Slayer Guide

hey I'm new to POE and this is my first build, thank you for the very detailed guide I am having a blast with it. I just have 1 question which might have been asked, but I dont have time to read through the 80 pages. How much life do you recommend having before you take the blood magic node?

@Jack_Aubrey I was talking about an armor that converts the damage you take, not the damage you do. Also, why no brutality ?

If you do good damage without heralds and auras, then you grab blood magic.

Well that wasn't very clear to me but what your'e saying is the same reason Taste of Hate is showcased: morphing that incoming physical damage into taken cold. This build can run with all sorts of armors so if you have a good Shaper/Elder chest then use it. Brutality support gem makes your Atziri flask, Sin's, and crafted chaos on your rings/ammy completely pointless.

ok I will give it a shot. my damage seems more than fine for the content I'm dealing with. my life just seemed low at 2.8k at level 58

I'm trying to remember at what point I did end up staying with B.M. but I think I had a 5L Kondo's Pride at the very least. Maybe I was still using Sunder with a Hezmana, I don't know. And until I could finalize the ring slots, I ran Haste Aura in an Essence Wurm. Was pretty good until that end-game steel ring. When I lab run I drop a steel ring and use it anyway just for faster leap slamming.

did some experimenting on my char lol

updated tooltips/pastebins with my current gear.

few more pastebins added and dps tooltip screenies

just noticed pob doesn't automatically check if enemies are bleeding for lacerate more damage against bleeding enemies. pob updated accordingly
