Welcome to my Shock R Cyclone lead start guide. So, Cyclone in 3.25 will get a pretty huge damage effectiveness buff, going from 59% to 111. Now, the added physical damage on the gem will be removed, but it was only roughly 30, and Shockwave will also get a buff, going from 260 DPS effectiveness to 336. And we are also going to be using stars, and stars will receive a crit base crit chance buff. Now, it's not going to be meta, but I think it's a pretty decent build. Now, I've done an Exa eer run in the 3.24 patch, and it can get to two Void Stones in 11 hours. It took me 10 hours and 40 minutes, I think. And so, you can push this day one to Red Ms to high the Red Maps. And endurance charges are going to be buffed. You use the Smashing Strike notable, which gives you endurance charges on M crit. So, all this build is going to be offensively and defensively.

much stronger. I've basically prepared a three different PS one with a level three leveling tree and in like 12 level steps that you can follow and a early game PB which has which is supposed to be a day one PB so a weapon like this I would get so you will hope for a open prefix so you would get this from the trail you want what you want to do is day one you want you want to spec betrayal nodes the Betrayal nodes at the start of the atlas tree which will give you roughly 40% chance to have a betray en counter and the problem with physical weapons is or getting high physical damage DPS weapons is that their waiting of the increased physical damage mod is pretty low and the mod pool of the weapons is pretty high so so a good way of getting decent or decent for the early game weapons is to use betral to unveil physical damage ideally the mod with the chance to impale enemies on hits and if you're lucky it has another good mod and he

open prefix, and you can craft your add physical damage. Or if it already has added physical damage, maybe you're lucky. It has an open suffix you can craft attack speed. So then you want in a bues. This is a tier three unique, so it's not super common, but it's also not super rare. And you would ideally take this once you have enough armor and endurance charges. If you don't, then you want to use another helmet because this helmet has the mod increased physical damage taken. So for your chest day one. So generally speaking, I've added notes to these items so you know how to craft these items. So arm bases are going to be buffed. So you want to use something like a glorious plate. And right now it has 250 2580 armor, but pu hasn't been updated with the new, the new bases. So this is probably going to be much higher. And you might even be able to drop the determination. For your gloves, you want pretty much the attack speed roll and the accuracy rating attack speed.

can force with seal Essence, and you want to look for accuracy rating. If you're very lucky, you also get a life roll, and then you could craft increased damage with increased damage while leeching, which is a sort of betrayal signature mod from Vichi. And you want that's also one of the reasons why you want to do betrayers to get certain signature mods. Like, for example, Vichi gives you the increased damage while leeching. Arion gives you the channeling non-chaning skills have minus total Mana cost. This mod is very important because we want to reduce our Cyclone Mana cost to zero or one. In this case, you want to be zero. If you don't do that, you have to use life tyab support. In generally speaking, you want the mods that you want on your gears: increase damage while leeching, which is a prefix. You can craft this on your gloves. You can craft it also on your amulets. You want aerating suffixes on which can go on your jewelry.

helmet or your glass Al. You want a high physical defs staff ideally from materal, and or you could just buy it. You look for something like plus 400 DPS. I would say if you still don't have enough accuracy from your gear, you would want a accur arrogance and precision setup. Now, as a fifth link, five link is going to probably going to cost you two Kos ORS on day one. And you want to use IDE Med Physical. They've actually nerfed infused chaning, so I have to remove this this line here. And for defense, you want endurance charges because endurance charges will give you Elemental reduction in the ne in 3.25. And we do have endurance charge generation with the Smashing strikes and with how fast cycl attacks, you should be able to maintain these endurance charges. And this physical, you also get physical damage reduction with endurance charges, and it will be additive with the physical damage reduction that you get from the from your armor. So, inance charges are very very strong right now, and so you want endurance charge.

also want Max resistance masteries which you can pick I it here if you have life reserved you get Max rest you can click these notes these notes later on you can also click this to increase your armor you you can click this Mastery 10% increased armor per red socket on Main hand weapon and then you also get the staff Mastery which makes it so increase damage and increase defenses while weing a stuff and you could also buy a energized armor and what this one does is transform these energy Shield modifiers into armor modifiers so in this case we can get so how much armor is this 2.5k armor per Point here and will be up to 34,000 armor from 20K or 22k so this would be a pretty good jeel that you could get other than that what's important for your jewelry is that you get the you have an open prefix so you can craft the AAL mod uh CH skills have free to Total Mana cost so this one's pretty important these mods

are essential basically and B deceiver is a very common unique. It is quite strong then some somewhat important is the specialist Diamond flask, which is basically we use this diamond. We use a diamond flask because Diamond flask only consumes 20 charges per use, and then we get the prefix chance to gain a flash charge when you deal a Critical Strike, so we have flash charge sustain even against bosses, for example. So the game is day one I expect, or maybe day two if you don't play that much. Mid-game you're going to use contempt Essences, and you look for a tier five or higher increased physical damage mod within open suffix, and this is going to take you roughly 28 contempts. If it has an open suffix, you craft increased attack speed. Obviously you get the epis then chest, we want a high armor-based chest, and you also want the additional physical damage reduction mod because this physical damage reduction, as I said previously, is additive with the physical damage reduction you get from armor, and you want an improvement over your last.

gauntlets, uh, last Gauntlet. So, higher attack speed, high ACC rating. So, as your implicits, you can use, you want the chance to intimidate. Later on, you can also get a lethal Pride with chance to intimidate and impair is also fine. Then you want, of course, want an upgrade. This is all pretty straightforward. Just this, just higher resistances over the last Pub. And you also want a slavis coil for the more maximum physical attack damage modifier. Now this line, the 48% more maximum physical damage, is multiplicative with volatility. So, volatility becomes a very strong support chem for this build with slv's coil. But also, your lower end of your physical damage becomes kind of low. But your average damage will go up by a lot and is a lot stronger than infused ch Ching. But infused channeling would actually make you a little bit tankier. So, this is really up to you what you want to use. I think volatility is pretty good. Then the end game P or week one if you play a lot. So, basically Tre.

is pretty similar. You just what you can do is a maze and staff large cluster, but this one will be very difficult to roll, and you want to get the overlord notable, so you don't have to use this fortify Mastery, which gives you maximum fortification, uh, minus maximum fortification, and you will also save one point, so this would be good. And you want like notes like these feed the fury, which is really good for Slayer because we are always leeching, so these two conditions like increase damage and increase attack speed are always fulfilled or not always as long as you have attacked recently. You want a watch's eye, ideally the one with chance to Double Deal double damage while using PES, and get a Charisma anointment, so you can use hero of Purity blood and Sand, and these three hours. You also want Enlighten, so if you don't have Enlighten, if you don't have Charisma, you probably throw out her with Purity. Have notes here too for your Rod. You basically want to use contempt Essences until you get

the hybrid mod, a high tier hybrid mod, so tier four is probably fine already. And then you need an open prefix. And if you don't have an open prefix, you want to annul the prefix that is useless for you. Afterwards, you craft prefixes cannot be changed, use a veiled orb, and hopefully, you get a prefix unveil. And when you unveil, you want to look for increased physical damage and chance pil would be the best mod. But if you get unlucky, you would just go for any increased physical damage prefix. Then you craft prefixes can be changed, wipe the suffixes, and multimode craft in increased attack speed and increased CRI strike chance. Yeah, your chest. Your chest, you get dense fossils. Dense fossils are your best B for getting triple increased armor flat armor values, and ideally ALS also get the additional physical damage reduction mode. Gauntlet, you want to use seal Essences. You go for a good accuracy rating roll and then another good lightning rest roll. Then you I've written this all down.

protect the suffixes. Make sure you have an open prefix for that and you craft uh reforge life with Harvest. Hopefully, it's an open prefix. If it has a prefix, you craft increased damage while leeching. If it doesn't have an open prefix, you have the elision of un mment. And hopefully when you elision of inment the gloves, it doesn't hit your reforge uh your life role. Otherwise, you have to go back to the step where you go suffix cannot be changed and reforge life right amulet. Amulet, I use SC Essences. You probably buy something like this and it should be some reasonably cheap. Your rings, if you have two resistance rolls in an open suffix, what you want to do is suffixes cannot be changed with Harvest. Then you craft uh you do reforge chaos. Then you want to protect the suffixes again. You use a veil D, you block Mana unveil life. It should be I think guaranteed. Actually, you craft Ching skills have minus three total Mana cost. If it still has an open prefix, you can use a

warlord, conqueror, orb, and maybe it hits um increased me damage. Increased armor, that would be pretty ideal. Yeah, amulet spam score Essences. And that's pretty much the endgame Pub.
