Cebrux's Spin 2 Win Guide for Beginners (Resolute Technique Cyclone)

Ok thanks for the info.

Since I wouldn't be running Unwavering Stance, do you recommend Blind as a support gem for cyclone? Or again, would it be just a DPS loss?

DPS loss, especially if you take Iron Reflexes.
I wouldn't invest any points into Unwavering Stance either.
The only gem I would really consider swapping out for would be Life Leech if you run into survivability issues since survivability > dps.

Is this build still up to date? Has anything changed that would break it?

The build is still a solid choice. With the new trigger gems you can even build up some funny combinations.

Now I just gotta figure out my skill points. I just started playing a duelist and...well...I have no real clue where to put my points. I guess Acrosis' post has the build to use?

I realize this thread is a bit old now, but I'm really interested in making this build with a tweak. I really like swords - all my characters since I started playing Diablo in 1997 use them almost exclusively. I'm thinking that since swords have higher accuracy, I'd skip Resolute Technique which would give me more DPS by keeping crits. Would this be viable?

I should also note this is my first character.

i don't really think it's advisable to drop resolute technique for crits in this build. accuracy from swords is not enough. you will have to get a lot of accuracy nodes. also since this is an old thread, check out the blender guide by 2p it uses cyclone/dualstrike dual wielding swords/axes. http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/491481
