[3.11] Ngamahu's Cyclone Scion [Budget, Reflect Immune, All Content, Fast]

https://pastebin.com/z0ckZ9P0 [OLD VERSION 5K Life Lower Damage]

https://pastebin.com/b7aQXgLc [Update 1 4.7K Life and +100k SDPS]




To the Rough Order of nodes:

I Used Burning arrow to level so my path was:

Pick up Sentinel
Pick Up Lava Lash
Pick Up Disciple of slaughter
Pick up Golems Blood and some other health and frenzy nodes in the area.
(SKIP OUT ON AXE NODES UNTIL YOU CAN USE NGAMAHU'S)
Pick Up Primeval Force
Pick Up Herbalism
Move up to Blood Drinker and take the frenzy nodes on the way
Pick Up Resourcefullness
Pick UP Phase Acrobatics

You Should be finished with the story by now.

Get the other nodes focussing on what you think you need.

Need more Damage ? -> Get the Crit nodes and Forces of Nature

Need More Defense ? Grab the Defense/Life nodes still open.


Also Pick Up Axe nodes only when you have a Ngamahu's or use a Fire Damage Attack Skill with a 2H Axe otherwise wasted nodes

USE COMMUNITY VERSION POB !

Weapon:



Legacy Item, Now has

"

60% of Damage Converted to Fire Damage

Doesnt really make a huge difference since it lost some damage in return.

Build Enabler, and due to the "Trigger level 16 Molten Burst on Hit" being locally added by the weapon (which mean all socketed gems affect it anyway) no need to 6 link it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chestpiece:



Dont mind the Gems linked in this one they are wrong !

QOTF gives us not only a really good amount of evasion, but also some Life and Resistances. The -25% Negative MS is negated since we end up with 40K Evasion, capping out on the max MS gained by it.

6L on this item is technically not necessary (5L however is !) since our bulk damage comes from Ngamahu's, but is Highly recommended.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boots:



Not Much to say, BIS Item since we go for Frenzy Charges, Adds Movespeed, some dodge and Resistances.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gloves:



Technically replaceable by some Rare Gloves (Specifically Gripped Gloves due to the "(14-18)% increased Projectile Attack Damage", but most likely not worth since we get a enormous amount of stats from them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Helmet:



Same With Shapers, can theoreticallyget replaced by some Rare Armour, but in this case Devotos is just Irreplaceable in a sense.

Alternative if you need more EVA:




------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Necklace:

https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Xoph%27s_Blood

Mine Bricked in the Double Corrupt Altar, Hence no Linked amulet.

100% Necessary Item, not replaceable and this is the enabler to make us reflect immune.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Belt:



Technically BIS for us, Can get Replaced By a HH, put "of heat" on a flask then.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ring:



Vivinsect Is Amazing for our Build, since you cna 30% Qual Corrupt items via beastcraft and lower mana cost of cyclone like this.

(In theory we shouldn't even need it though since cyclone on paper costs 5 mana but we regen 13.7)

For levelling a Praxis is Amazing




------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flaks:







Alternatively you can Replace the Diamond Flask with a Quartz Flask.

For BIS Flasks use either "Surgeon" or "Perpetual" Prefix.

(Numbers describe Priority)


Weapon:

1. Elemental Damage with Attacks
2. Vicious Projectiles
3. Added Fire Damage
4. Elemental Focus
5. Concentrated Effect
6. Greater Multiple Projectiles

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chest:

1. Cyclone
2. Fortify
3. Infused Channeling
4. Added Fire Damage
5. Elemental damage with attacks
6. Elemental Focus

Since i know people will ask why Fortify and Infused first, Cyclone is not the main source of damage, and this describes not the levelling cyclone gems, but for a finished build.

Also Choose Cyclone not Vaal Cyclone, and use the 20% Quality Recipe for vendors to get a 20/20 Cyclone, Optimally a 21/23. Also in your second gear slot put extra cyclone gems in to level them as well to make your vaal attempts on them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Auras:

Anger (If possible in Vivinsect)
Huge DPS Increase

Herald of Ash
Really good Herald

Blood and Sand
Technically not an aura but a Stance, Still some good are and damage Increase depending on the stance


Linking to an Enlighten is not necessary but possible.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Movement:

Leap Slam (yes the skill is buggy sometimes, but still really good.)

Blood Magic Essential link, so that you are never OOM and cannot get out anymore.

Faster Attacks


and lastly

Endurance Charge on Melee Stun This Support is in here because i run a CWDT- Immortal Call setup as a defense mechanism. if you want to use something different, just add a Golem of your liking into the Link here.


(Sidenote: Alternatively you can also use a Flame Dash Setup (will render the ECOMS useles though); Just replace Faster attacks with faster casting and you will be fine.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Defense Gems:

Here you have a lot of options;

For Example:

CWDT (lvl.2) - Immortal Call (lvl.4) - Flammability (lvl.6) - Increased Duration

Is what i Mostly use, but other things like a Totem Curse and Steelskin setup is just as valid.

TL:DR You dont really need Elementalist Ascendancy early on, Raider Provides before Ngamahu Transition just straight up more benefits.

You can Alternatively take the Inquisitor node from the Templar Tree, but loose your reflect resistance like that. If you chose to do that fully level the Templar tree instead of Ranger and move the singular node from the Ranger Starting point to the templar one.

Exact Same thing Apllies to the "Beserker" node of the marauder Tree, that has a benefit of giving you stun immunity and is just as viable.

Also change the linked node to the starting point because of

Bandits: Kill em all

Pantheon:
Major: Solaris for Mapping & Lunaris for Bossing
Minor: Garukhan or Tukohama or Ralakesh or Rysaltha(Only if you use a Life Flask)

Minor Gods are in my opinion more "Variable" on what you need.

Ngamahu's Flame: 1c (Basic) / 50 C (Six Socket Proper Colors)
Devoto's Devotion: 5C
Queen of the Fores: 1c (Basic) / 2 EXA (6Link proper offcolor sockets/white sockets)
Shaper's: 1c
Darkray: 1 Alch
Xoph's Blood: 35 C
Cyclopean coil: 3 C (look out for the % attribute stat)
The Wise Oak: 5 C
Dying Sun: 10 C

Every thing except for Chest and Weapon is easily self colorable and linkable with Delvecraft for socket colors and Links

(Or Currently Harvestcraft)
