[3.7] Cyclone CoC Volatile Dead

The build is in the making...

Idea
The idea is to use Cyclone as a trigger skill for exploding your zombies into fire balls homing around the map. I understand this has been considered before but has fell short on single encounters but with the new gloves from the Legion league named Aukuna's Will we'll be able to deal some damage.

Why not?
Spoiler

Why am I not running Detonate Dead?
- Well, I think it would be a nice single target option but when running maps and zombies spawned behind you will explode behind you with no effect on the target you are fighting. Instead having homing fire balls will help the clear speed.



I will update the build as I go...

Nice build man!!! does it work well in the endgame?
I'm right now kinda casual but will spend some time to get further and furthet, the clear speed is really nice and with some more optimized run speed items it can turn out to be a really fast map clearer.

The issues right now are the Life where I'm missing some key pieces such as a good 6 linked chest piece or if a whole turn around for ES would make it even better.

If you have any ideas or thoughts please feel free to elaborate, I would really like to hear your thoughts.

Ideas / Theorycrafting
I have some ideas that a Cospri's Malice together with Elemental Equilibrium could bring out some more dmg output as well.
Why not cast while channeling? Should trigger more reliably. Also could add a Totem with multiple totems, Unearth and GMP. Would reliably give you corpses for single target.
How did it turn out? I just hit 92 on my coc cospri assassin and I want to try something else, was considering this or coc bladefall poison. Have you considered using Beltimbre blade or possibly even two of them ? For extra fireballs
Could you do something similar with a wand?
hardcore casual.

Playing PoE for years and having fun despite GGG.
