What about some good cyclone build scalable from league starter to end game?

This is what I’m doing and I’ve been playing it on standard the last 2 months. I suggest starting with Juggernaut or Champion and then moving to Berserker or Slayer respectively. This allows you to build up gear before going more offensive. This is doubly so due to bosses being tougher now. I plan on going with a 2 hander although dual wield works too. Plan on spending some currency if you want the damage to go into the millions but you could probably budget them on a few exalts to do 1/4 of the damage.

I would avoid berserker unless you like spending a lot of currency. I spent about 40-50 exalts on mine and I’m pumping out 6 million dmg with about 9,000 life. I could easily push the damage over 10 million but the life and physical resistance would go way back (I’m around 41% physical reduced damage with overcapped resists). I’m also using an exquisite blade with fortify which is about to go bye bye. The skill is fun with strong gear and 50 rage, top tier clear speed and deletes bosses

That's what I'm searching for as well. I saw builds CoC,Flame,Shockwave cyclone which looks cool but i think they are heavily relaying on some uniques and not really flexible. I just want to some "pure" cyclone build that I could use in early maps and late end-game with reasonable investments of course.
Are you going to follow certain build or you'll do it by yourself?
I'm still searching for a proper cyclone build, can you recommend one if u know?

This is a solid slayer build if you have no idea where to start but I suggest skipping Atziri's Acuity. I followed a lot of his ideas and moved them over to a berserker after buffing my defenses. I use instant warcries with enduring cry for 5 endurance charges/health recovery while spinning. I don't use bloodrage or a banner and instead use precision. I actively swap between sand stance for mapping and blood stance for bossing. Berserker at 50 rage is 75% IAS and I get another 31% on my helm so bloodrage is just bad degen that isn't worth it. I build rage quickly with the support and pop bersek on bosses while dropping down a vaal anscestral war chief totem for huge damage.

As for me I'm probably going to start Juggernaut and then hold off on my final ascension until getting some gear then switch to Berserker. I haven't settled on a "final" tree yet because I don't have any idea what gear I will obtain or how strong bosses will actually be just yet. It really isn't hard or expensive to modify the tree to your gear or gems but don't expect to be doing lots of damage without lots of currency. You really need a Devoto's and a powerful weapon to shine, at a minimum but berserker won't feel great until you get all the extras.
