Build Overview

Cyclone Temu version is making an appearance in PoE 2 in the form of Whirling Assault and it is INSANE!
Titan for Hulking Form which of course buffs AoE nodes for FULL SCREEN Clear and newly buffed Crushing Impacts that is just ridiculous with other stun modifiers and damage overall.

Armor Stacking

Hands down the best ascendancy to do so because we have yet again Hulking Form which buffs small armor nodes and THEN we have Sturdy Metal which goes crazy with Stone Skin. Ancient Aegis is another honorable mention but it is pretty far to path there.
Getting extra % armor from body armor prefix on Amulet is another banger stacked with the rest. Missing Heart of the Well with that affix and that could send us probably close to 80 THOUSAND armor which is wild. Currently running 70k Armor in Maps.

The Brass Dome is the absolute KING. All this stacked with Scavenged Plating which we get through Armour Break III or Uul-Netol's Embrace.

Surrounded is BACK

Yes we are using Constricting Command even with the nerfs it is still totally BROKEN as we can ignore very high mana usage per Whirling Assault (Defy II). Besides other cracked % attack damage increase nodes we get extra rolling distance which helps in mapping and massive armor nodes.

Charge Generation

Mantra of Destruction with Ailith's Chimes takes care of Power Charge generation for that juicy multiplicative crit from Charge Regulation AND Charged Staff.
For Frenzy charges we use Valako's Roar and Endurance Charges we can later path to Cranial Impact which is quite close as multiplicative armor is insane for maps.

CAMPAIGN REWARDS

Act 3 (venom) - stun threshold

Act 4 (totems) - resistances

Interlude II (pillars) - resistances

WEAPON SETS

We don't need two weapons all you have to do is just RIGHT click the Icon right above your weapon (I or II) which will LOCK the same weapon for both weapon sets. After that you just manually weapon swap for bosses.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Speed
  • Damage
  • Very Tanky
  • Style
  • Off-meta working like Meta and it's not even expensive
  • Literally nothing

Build Variants

There are a few ways to level either Bear which I covered here or Warrior here BUT we want to rock Quarterstaff from the beginning to TRANSFER into Whirling Assault at level 41 with level 11 Skill Gem.

The uniques you see above are ideal Best in Slot and if you don't have them here is how to approach gearing:

GEAR STAT PRIORITY

ARMOR is a great defensive layer while leveling in Campaign so we will go with that on all pieces.

Weapon - physical damage %, flat physical, attack speed, melee skills

Body armor - life, armor (very good in campaign), resistances, attributes

Gloves - flat damage (carries on bosses especially), attack speed, melee skills

Rings - flat damage (same as above), resistances, attributes (mainly strength if you have Pillar of the Caged God)

Boots - movement speed (definitely a must), life, armor, resistances

Amulet - life, armor, resistances, melee skills

Belt - armor, life, mana, resistances, strength

Helm - armor, life, mana, resistances, strength

Socket runes for resistances as needed or Strength if you are running with Pillar of the Caged God early on.

JEWELS

Ruby is the best to stack melee or attack damage together with Rage on hit.

Use Quarterstaff Strike until level 6 when you unlock Wind Blast.

At level 14 you can swap to Vaulting Impact if you prefer that over Wind Blast.

Lightning Attunement is recommended as it should apply Shock debuff which is free 20% damage especially if you can get flat lightning damage on rings or gloves. Definitely try to get any flat damage everywhere you can as it helps A TON on Bosses especially.
You can also use Brutality I if you are unlucky with rolling flat damage.

Getting a good weapon is very crucial with these skills early on.

SECOND SPIRIT GEM can be Overwhelming Presence to stun faster OR Attrition for damage increase.

Warrior has some very powerful damage nodes early on and it should be a breeze on bosses (depends on the weapon of course).

How it Plays

1. Whirling Assault - one button to it all

2. Mantra of Destruction - power charge generation and fat extra damage buff

3. Tempest Bell - for tough Rares and Bosses to delete everything within SECONDS

4. Charged Staff - not needed but it's extra damage buff

5. Falling Thunder - this DELETES any bosses as it's damage per Power Charge is multiplicative

So 1. generates Combos for 2. which generates Power Charges for 5. and one shots.

LEVELING

1. Quarterstaff Strike - use for rage regen or when out of mana - it might deal more damage than 2. early on

2. Wind Blast - your AoE clear, pairs well with Herald of Ash

3. Tempest Bell - you stack combos with 1. and then proc bell for big single target damage

4. Mantra of Destruction - this becomes quite a useful buff and again build combos with a Strike skill in this case Quarterstaff Strike until level 41 where we get Whirling Assault

REPLACE 1. AND 2. WITH Whirling Assault AT LEVEL 41

From this point getting combos will be much easier as WA is a Strike skill so using Mantra of Destruction and Tempest Bell is much faster.
