Rage is the best for damage but has a nasty ramp up, Melee Phys is the most consistent, Pulverise is the worst for damage but gives more AoE and finally Close Combat almost rivals the DPS of Rage but with no ramp up, it does however only work that well if you are right on top of the enemy. The all purpose link for Cyclone will be Impale-> Brutality-> Fortify -> Infused Channeling -> Close CombatĬlose Combat is the flex slot and you can use either Rage, Melee Phys or Pulverise instead. Minor: Soul of Shakari's upgraded version 'immune to poison' is the best you can get.īandit: Alira is the best choice for the cheap variant of the build. I use Lunaris for maps, Solaris for bosses and Arakaali when I'm in no danger of one shots. Major: Soul of Lunaris, Soul of Arakaali and Soul of Lunaris are all solid choices.

With just Impale Support, Dread Banner, and the 2 skill tree clusters we get a damage multiplier of 104%.Īscendancy: Headsman-> Impact->Brutal Fervour -> Overwhelm We multiply this number by getting Impale Effect. You can increase this to 7 by either using Champions ascendancy node 'Master of Metal' or by using a Watcher's Eye with the mod 'Impales you inflict last 2 additional hits while using Pride'. Impale stacks up to 5 baseline giving you a 50% MORE damage multiplier. Impale is a debuff you apply to the target that stores 10% of the damage you dealt in the previous hit and deals that amount as extra damage on consecutive hits. It's not a tank build so you have to dodge things yourself. Leap Slam is bugged in the current patch causing you to get stuck on objects easily.

Meta build means some end game items can be expensive. While our Cyclone area is very big, we are still playing Melee wich is dangerous at time. It's perfectly viable in SSF but struggles more than Champion/Gladiator with low access to gear.
