[PoE] We spent 9000+ divines to minmax Cyclone AOE - Project Cyclone AOE - Stream Highlights

[@varo2122]

The best thing with cyclone is that since you are in the center of the circle... you can't leave the circle. The Legal-est build.

[@skyler1469]

All the squares makes a circle

[@Jiggerjaw]

Way to jump on that joke while it's still relevant.

[@klbm9999]

Oooof nice one

[@Empyriangaming]

Very happy with how this turned out, started out "small" but as always with these projects it just keeps growing and growing... Next one will be even more expensive :D Thanks for watching!

[@TheCristo1996]

Please vote for GGG to save cyclone: We need a replica Crown of Eyes "Increases and Reductions to Area of effect also apply to Area Damage at 150% of their value"

@@SawGudman If they're as good as other skills, everyone is playing them since mechanically they are very fun.

[@pawnet33]

@@1bullneck1 and that would be amazing. The game should be fun to play. You shouldn't be forced to play unfun build just to have a chance to compete at league start

[@hellowill]

​@SawGudman GGG have kept LA and Spark on top since open beta pretty much

[@DAR0k88]

Finally, this is the first AoE showcase that actually shows blood perforate. The thing I always wondered was if the sequential spikes would spread out, but it looks like they stay close together, which means 100% of your spikes can overlap their AoE onto the boss, and not just 50% of them. The strike range working on it was a surprise as well.

[@louisciper]

This is the time of the league that I look forward to the most, the meme builds and experiment builds. All the beginning of the league group currency farming play is just for these moments. Another awesome video, Empy. Keep it up.

@@Daccura ​​@paulsaalfeld9844 Me three boys! Tried to get into PoE a couple times but to no avail and then was browsing for builds to give it a go again and the whirlwind nostalgia is just *chef kiss*. It really did spoiled me a bit for starting in legion with cyclone. Hard to find something as fun~

[@Kaktanternak]

9:30 That's the most PoE explanation of buff rota I've ever heard

[@paciumusiu1225]

An idea for cyclone rework: make stages grant % more aoe or somehow exponential scaling but they work like trauma stacks, so people have to heavily invest into attack speed and or duration. That way using cyclone as a trigger tool doesn't unlock its full potential.

[@Neoshift]

yes but they must keep coc smh viable the archetype is just too popular

[@paciumusiu1225]

@@Neoshift yeah it still will be able to trigger, maybe leave the aoe as is for 10 aps which is the most common coc trigger rate and then they could invest into duration for more aoe that also scales with occu power charge nodes, so it's a win win. My main issue is that you just cannot scale the aoe to decent levels without sacrificing a bunch of damage and/or survivability. And it's not like the skill is fast at clearing with the movement speed penalty.

[@ShockMagics]

Man I miss Legion cyclone AOE

[@Ressilge]

It was my first 100 - I thought it was insane. I would carry peoples 5 ways that they gave to me, AND they would tip me for it as-well.

[@JustMNY]

Saaaaaaame

[@siddharthkumar5856]

As always incredibly fun and I loved the bit where you used abilities like sunder, it's one of the skills I find really cool. Thank's Empy & group for the content :D

[@Cracks094]

I'm a bit sad that you didn't try Vaal Ground Slam, it's already stupidly huge without any AoE investment, it'd propably have been the biggest of all the slam skills by far. Also, wouldn't Fist of War be even better for some of the other skills you tested?

[@ibanborak]

love what your crew do every end league for the community. these projects are so cool and so fun and completely impossible to normal players with normal funds, so ty to u n your crew n all who support with donos

[@curtisfugitt3970]

“That is so POE” is exactly what I was thinking watching the build explanation. Haven’t played in a long time but I still love seeing the ridiculous shit you can do in this game with absurd amounts of currency.

[@7errafirma]

btw, I am playing this game almost exclusively perforate, it's a very underrated skill that both clears and single-target very easily without investing in annoying mechanics or dealing with things like trauma stacks.

[@JustCallMeCharlie]

I don't know if you tried it on stream and it didn't make the cut, but you should definitely try Vengeance, it still has the same old aoe scaling mechanic that cyclone did in Legion where strike range gives it BASE radius, you should be able to get absolutely unfathomable aoe on it with this setup

[@hughesga1745]

"we spent 9000 divines on this but its ok we still have a few left" **still has 14000 o.O**

Is it possible that you're actually able to kill things out of XP range?

[@mattbas-vi7750]

[@criticap-jo9dl]

Should have try Double Strike, it is really cool. Similar to Lacerate but the slashes are vertical.

[@StatTheMusicFinder]

What is the mtx you were using in the first clip, is it celestial?

[@asdfghjsdfgg1841]

I did a similar project a few years ago, my favorite skill was Doryani's Touch (and ice crash)

[@7errafirma]

So, can you use Arctic Armour with cyclone then? If you can go stationary? It could be useful during certain boss fights.

[@impact6126]

did you get any heatshivers vaaling a quad tab of ultimatum helmets?

[@eldiablosmurf]

who remembers the golden days of pressing spark once after you enter a map and clearing the whole thing. I still wish old AOE was still a thing and that they never reworked that shit it was perfect

[@slayer418]

Well actually if we could get such AoE on melee skills without spending 10 kidneys and while still doing damage, it could enable some of them. With that being said, most of them actually needs mechanical tuning. (Rage vortex should allow more than 1 active storm for example )

[@eriquesouza5281]

What is your computer data to run POE smoothly? Motherboard, video card and processor?

[@hayden7335]

Look i could be wrong but i was well and truly fully under the impression the revised cyclone skill does not take anything into account except for weapon range. Supposedly melee strike range is a completely different stat and only applies to strike esque skills. There are a few forum posts about this, could be worth looking into if it turns out you could use the extra mods and passives for more aoe

[@Doodles__]

Played a Vengeance strike-range stacking build this league with some self damage to trigger it, was really fun

[@savageire]

I love this stuff. I get to watch you guys play and see what is possible in PoE without actually getting good myself. :D
