[2.1] "Cyclonus" Crit Bino Cyclone by fiqst

Hi, thanks for the interest. I designed this build without legacy items so that it can be used in any league (except maybe hardcore since health and block are low).

The build centres around a soul taker so i have have given no thought into mana management, but if you can somehow factor in mana regen and leech into your equipment and tree, then there's no reason why it can't work.

Daggers have great crit potential but are much harder to find. Any dagger above 300pdps (Ambush) is hugely expensive.

As for the trees, i've parsed it for you:

These trees look good but in my tree i have taken certain resistance nodes, without these nodes you'll need the following resistances in your equipment:

fire 97% sword tree, 74% dagger
cold 96%
light 149%

Keep in mind that you'll need to spread it out to 5 equipment slots, 2x rings, boots, belt, amulet (6 if you replace maligaro's), so the average resistance required per slot is

fire 20%, 15%
cold 20%
light 30%

pretty difficult and expensive i think, so i would suggest taking some resistance nodes.

Also, if you plan to use the increased critical damage gem at level 20, you'll need 108 INT. Which is +70 INT from your equipment.

I hope this helps in your decision.

Thanks for the quick and thorough reply, I think I will stick with swords for now :)

I've tried Atziri once but failed. I put this down to inexperience and my equipment and tree not being suitable. DPS is less important and 4k life is not adequate for atziri.

I will try again once i level so i don't waste any xp.

My plan for Atziri is to respec a lot of the DPS nodes and take up HP nodes. Hopefully, my health will be above 5.5k and i'll be more comfortable.

Updated the build:

- replaced Maligaro to a near perfect legacy variant.
- made some changes to the tree
- raised dps to 92k with a max of 131k with flasks and vaal haste
- renamed thread to display the normal dps value

Added my new version of the build (second post)

- replaced axe with dagger
- 120k dps achieved with a cheap dagger (170k fully self buffed)
- new tree: dropped axe nodes
- added an effective way to build power charges


Killed Atziri for the first time today. I used all the portals (2 deaths from flame blasts, 1 death from stupidly attacking Atziri holding the mirror). My next attempts with be with less deaths I'm sure.

Added other melee skills

Hey, I am going to start this build tomorrow, I just wanted to say I really like how you write all these mini updates they were nice to read and I feel like I missed out on nothing. also bump :)

Hi, thanks very much.
This character is my only character and is constantly evolving as i learn more about the game.
