POE 3.25 ~ Making Cyclone Great Again ~ Weapon Master Slayer

[@PartikleVT]

cyclone in legion was fricking insane, you could always activate the whole legion. Loved it.

[@Basedard]

had AOE and Damage it was glory. Now it it's nothing but sacrifices you have to make to use it.

[@bayublack92]

Great build bro ❤

[@ANTI-META-GAMING]

Good job

[@ARVlNN1]

Are you taking a break this league? Usually you would post a lot of helpful videos.

[@AbdulRehman-hm5do]

The OG RF

[@phrazz]

Just get yourself a REAL rare sword and add the "+2 meters to strike range" rune enchant.

[@Basedard]

didn't know that existed...Definitely going to see what is better +2 strike range or 20% more AOE.

[@ScaryStoriesApproved]

I did cyclone this league because of the melee and endurance charge buffs, I enjoyed it very much but like you said the build has a squish problem. I was a bit sad to discover my build had a limit for how far I can push it and that it will never be able to do uber bosses.

[@Basedard]

Cyclone is likely the lowest DPS skill in the game with some of the worst AOE scaling as well. It has been unjustly gutted because COC and Cyclone were both good at the same time causing like 40% of the players to use cyclone. It's time they buffed it.

[@ScottySkilz1]

i hate having that return to town button its so enraging

[@GreasyOaf]

You can disable that button by getting better at the game

[@Basedard]

@@GreasyOaf HUGE skill issue can't even click the right button fucking scrubs.

[@ScottySkilz1]

@@GreasyOaf haha funny. even the best of the best die from time to time

[@GreasyOaf]

@@ScottySkilz1 true x) i totally don't have quad digit death counter

[@suddha1]

What was the investment for this? The v2 looks hella good, great showcase bro! That shockwave mtx was a total flashbang to my eyes

[@Basedard]

no clue most of that gear is 3 weeks old. But you could get a version pretty cheap but what I demo'd was 50+ div probably.

[@m3tax]

Area of effect, not "affect". Americans...

[@Basedard]

It is what the fuck I say it is.....Merika

[@lucidare]

can we get another pob? the one provided is disconnected to video

[@Basedard]

Nope. You can just modify it yourself to fit it to what you need.

[@kevincy75]

build looks nice. one question tho, let's say I want quicksilver for faster mapping, how bad is swapping out the tincture in terms of damage loss?

[@Basedard]

not sure didn't check. Probably come out even in the end faster through the maps longer on the boss.

[@eradicator7614]

have you thought about dropping the varunastra for a rare sword and use the sword enchant that adds 2 metres of range ?

[@Basedard]

didn't know that existed. Wonder if that would be more that 20% more.

[@eradicator7614]

@@Basedard i think its 200% increased aoe, 10% inc aoe per 0.1 metre of additional melee strike range. It does cost 2 power runes though

[@rileystrom8530]

Do you have some way of seeing all the gear on your character? Either pob or poe account link?

[@Basedard]

I put it in the comments. Its the Frenzy Charge version.

[@RyanWilliams-bh7mz]

no pop in vid nope good sir. you roaching

[@Basedard]

WTF is roaching? I had 3 versions and then was making a whole other one so I don't have the exact pob from the video but I posted what the build is currently.

[@HannibalGraham]

Wish I could get that radius with my build but my dps is significantly higher. Honestly, your tree is the oddest I've seen.

[@Basedard]

Cyclone requires a lot of sacrifice to use. Highest QOL lowest AOE and Damage. To get damage you lose AOE to get AOE you lose Damage. There are no win win's with cyclone. For Cyclone to be meta it needs about 40% more split between damage and AOE. I'd like 30% more AOE and 10% more damage.

[@HannibalGraham]

@@Basedard I could probably get 2.5metres if I lose about 4m DPS. But the DPS i have is pretty good.

[@Basedard]

@@HannibalGraham Yep. Objective was to try and make Cyclone like it was in Legion can't do that without buckets of AOE.

[@HannibalGraham]

@@Basedard that movement damage was interesting and I didn't realize that cyclone was a movement skill. Though the amount it adds just isn't worth sacking like 200k ehp.

[@Basedard]

@@HannibalGraham eHp gets wonky with ward, block, and using a Movement skill like Cyclone best to take that with a grain of salt. I'm a pretty bad player and it was enough EHP for me....Cyclone is just in a very bad spot right now I'm doing a leap Slam of Groundbreaking build with Bronn's Lit HE and the damage goes from like 600% to 900% its awesome.

[@yungdrila0197]

Is 4 m dps viable for t17

[@Basedard]

T17 around the 28:00 mark look for yourself. 'Viable' means different things to different people. To me it is but someone people want their bosses dead in 1 second so to them it wouldn't be.

[@iNOOB-o2]

pob ? 😢

[@Basedard]

I put the Power Charge version in description.

[@RhinoSea]

lithe = lie th

[@Basedard]

Weird you'd think if it was lieth it would be spelled lieth... I mean no reason not to spell it that way. So Lit He it is.

[@optiondezzo1513]

Nice. You made Cyclone great again. I always felt that GGG buffed and nerfed Cyclone because of D3. They wanted a skill Diablo players can related to and nerfed it when they realized Blizzard can never make a better ARPG game then theirs. xD

[@Basedard]

Doubt POE looks at what Blizzard is doing much anymore. In legions like 40% of the player base used Cyclone it got dumbstered like 3 times after that. Cyclone is pretty much the lowest damage skill in the game.
