[2.1] "Cyclonus" Crit Bino Cyclone by fiqst

Quick update with new maximum group buffed dps

- 228k dps achieved with cyclone

(556k dps if you count the dps tooltip bug)

This is from a mid-level dagger. Its all about the tree. I'd love to test the new AXN Horror Skewer dagger with this build.
So many strikes within one breath.
But only one strike needed, for certain death.
Quick update

- found an Auramancer with an even better setup.
- 238k maximum dps achieved.

Current goals:

- collect pair of Acuity gloves
- improve amulet (with crit chance + crit multi + life leech + maybe mana leech)
- new ring with 2% mana leech
- drop soul taker for another dagger

Good guide, but where at least one video? Judging by your messages they should be, but ...

My apologies. I haven't been able to get my recording software to work with my soundcard, and i haven't been bothered to upload to youtube since there hasn't been much responses to this build. So i'm glad you brought it up.

I just recorded a Shipyard speedrun (straight to boss, no looting) and you can find it here:

Shipyard Speedrun

The sound is warped, sorry. But the clearspeed is evident.

The dps displayed in the vid is 99059, which is different from the guide, this is because my crit damage gem levelled to 20/20.






Also, i've been experimenting with a new curse setup:

GGBB

cyclone - pcoc - cast on crit - critical weakness

the idea is to use the power charge buildup cyclone as the main curse trigger too. Crit weakness is VERY powerful and since my dagger crits at 92.7%, it always activates.

This has me considering buying (or vaaling) a pair of Maligaro's with a cast on crit corruption, so the final gem setup would be:

GBBR

cyclone - pcoc - crit weakness - LGoH - cast on crit level 12

The beauty of the setup is that you can interchange the blue and red gems to cast different things, and the gems can be 20/20:

Red:
enduring cry - constant max endurance charges
totems - rapid fire totems are pretty funny
warlords mark - leech as you travel (potentially excellent with Acuity's)
molten shell - infinite MS!

Blue:
Enfeeble - 34% reduction at level 20, much better than cwdt
crit weakness - 10% more chance, 80% more crit damage. Hands down, the best curse
cold snap - excellent spell to use with pcoc, it constantly freezes mobs, even if only for half a second
arc - Mjolner-like, good for shocking enemies.

there are lots of blue gems that are good, i don't have enough levelled ones to test.

Apologies once again for the sound.

Posted the latest version of this build. The link to that post is here:

Acuity Cyclonus

Major changes:

- Introduced Atziri's Acuity Gloves
- Introduced a 4L GGBB cyclone PCoC/CoC setup
- Modified tree: With the massive INT boost from the gloves, I dropped Wisdom of the Glade (+30) and one other node to collect Finesse.

Added a courtyard speedrun:

is it capable of doing atziri and uber atziri with ease?
The last time I tried atziri I beat her. It took all portals to do it so I'll be waiting to level before trying again. This will be the last time I level so I plan to concentrate all efforts into farming midnights and atziri. This would mean changing my tree to lower dps and raise life. I'll keep posting updates.

Uber is out of the question for now. Just to attempt her would cost 35ex and a very high chance of failure.
