2.3 Fakener (budget fake Mjölner) build - Trickster Version

With the Attack speed changes to cyclone is it best to level it up to 20 or with a fast dagger does it not really matter as much?

And unless you're doing Atziri runs and find it really hard to dodge storm calls or flame blasts, Saffells is not needed at all. Even with the really cheap spell damage shield I found, I find it plays much smoother and clears maps quite a bit faster.

Is it really enough leech just to have 1% doryani's and/or 1% from catarina?

Also,

"

I'll give it a try, see if I can find a way to make it work. I really hate wasting gem slots for blood magic. I'll probably be using a dagger with "hits can't be evaded" so I'll probably have some room to work with jewelery and extra points for possibly going into Mind Drinker, Dynamo and Righteous
Decree. Who knows, i'll mess around.

Have you tried this out at all yet? I was thinking mindrinker / blood drinker as well, however the problem is that the build does very little physical DPS and I didn't think there would be enough leech from those to do any sustain past like 50. Plus, MD is 3points off tree. HOwever, if that frees up a spot for life leech instead of BM, that's a big win.

But, you probably couldn't run as many auras. If you watch mathil's videos, he's sitting on 5 mana.

crated all these, which one is better?
il sell all others...

trying this build in bloodlines right now :D
It just feels so yolo to run into every pack :D

unfortunatly i have to skip many bloodlines mods and single target still feels very weak but letz so how long i can survive with this :D

How important is Celestial Punishment? I've just hit 70, pondering now what to skill next. And somehow Celestial Punishment is quite low on my my priority list...or am I on the wrong track and it's super important?

I recently switched from Static Strike to Cyclone with the other skills. But Cyclone still costs mana instead of life. Is there something wrong with the links ?

Came back to PoE a little bit after the leagues started, so started a bit late, but here is my gear, and my experiences and questions.




First off, clear speed is ridiculous. Very fun, very fast.

I have never been a fan of whirling blades,so at the moment I am running Auras in helm, discharge in chest, usual CWDT/imm call in gloves and trying other things elsewhere to see what succeeds.

I feel that Assasin's Mark is necessary at my gear level. I discharge a lot, but having that curse up really makes packs just disappear. I would consider an amulet with +1 curses or running windscream and doing CWDT with Ele Weakness and Assasin's Mark. I play solo, so two auto curses would be pretty nice.

I'm getting around 220 IIR along with capping res.

I have capped resistances and around 3.2k hp. I am finding the HP hard to come by right now - It would obviously be better off if I was to run other gloves, but again these are great for soloing. In the tree right now I have the option of the Scion HP ring, or templar triangle. I should really try and get my HP to 4k, but I really am finding it difficult to raise my HP. Apart from the gloves, I have HP on all other pieces that can have it.

I'm also needing to pot a lot even with the 2% lightning leech + vaal pact. I feel my leech is low, but that could also just be me having lowish HP and Eva.

So my questions are, any advice on raising HP? Currently 76 with about 5 nodes of scion HP left, but I really want to head to templar triangle too.



PS: Also thinking about how I should utilize my other links

Chest: Discharge
Gloves: CWDT
Helm: Auras
Boots: Lame CWDT that is almost useless.
Weapon/Shield: One curse, other slots unused/leveling gems.

PPS: Maybe it's worth ditching Vaal pact for now, and taking up more HP nodes.

Hiho Mathil, just 2 questions.


1.
your "Offensive and Defensive Character Sheet Stats on Cyclone/Def" shows your Cyclone ASP at 4.1 my is atm just at 2.5. Why is there such a huge difference? The only +attack speed passive node i havent picked up yet is "Retribution".

my gear:


2.
Now im using Lightning Penetration instead of Ice Nova, because my Amulet provides my Cyclone with fire and cold dmg so i can use the -50% lightning resistance boost from EE right?

TY for this build it makes alot of fun :-)

I am about 90% sure the screens he took are from 1.2 Rampage. The big difference is that in 1.3 Cyclone's attack speed was nerfed 20%. Each level like 2% to offset. That's why i've asked before how come we're not lvl'ing cyclone in 1.3 to offset the attack speed nerf? The mana cost isnt even that much of a difference.
