Build Overview

Cyclone Temu SPIN To WIN is making an appearance in PoE 2 in the form of Whirling Assault and it is INSANE!

I am League starting this setup so you can see the progression live - twitch

PLEASE CHECK BUILD VARIANTS BELOW
- added Endgame Elemental (POB) and Endgame Physical (POB)

0.5 PATCH NOTES RECAP FOR THIS SETUP

Tempest Bell - can be ancestrally boosted and have maximum 3 is just a wild buff
Whirling Assault - more attack speed from quality changed to increased (multiplicative vs additive) = very slight nerf
Quarterstaff weapon base range increased
THIS MEANS WE WILL FEAST

MARTIAL ARTIST ASCENDANCY ORDER

Hollow Focus Technique > Hollow Resonance Technique > Way of the Stonefist > Runic Meridians
Runes:
- Craiceann's Rune of Warding and Craiceann's Rune of Recovery in Body
- The Greatwolf's Rune of Claws Gloves
- rest fill with Resistances or Attributes as needed

AVOID Dreaming Quarterstaff AS THIS HAS 0% CRIT CHANCE

Potential Mana Issue in Late Game

Mana Leech on ring or gloves should solve all the issues.

+ Skills ramped mana consumption extremely high and it was said in Q&A that they changed or nerfed them so hopefully won't be much of an issue.

Mana Remnants also another option as Hollow Focus Technique can be culled.

Charge Generation

While leveling once you get a Talisman you prime enemies for a Stun with Wind Blast (Brink I is amazing quality of life) and then use Wing Blast you generate Power Charges for Falling Thunder MAXIMUM Damage.

With the Ascendancy Way of the Stonefist our goal is to get % Chance to gain a Power Charge on Critical hit which will SOLVE the generation so we can drop Wyvern skills.

Martial Artist's Hollow Focus Technique ascendancy spawns small bells every X seconds which CAN BE CULLED and that screams EASY Power Charges Killing Palm for crazy Charge Regulation buffs.
Cull The Weak would be great for Frenzy charges but sadly that is a Spear skill so maybe in the Endgame version once we drop Talisman Wyvern.

Mantra of Destruction with Ailith's Chimes later on is also another Power Charge generator later in the game as we generate Combos with so we can then get another buff - Charged Staff.

Defense

Deflect rating has a new formula and got buffed so our goal is to reach 80% evasion and 95% Deflect (cap) while also focusing on Energy Shield.
Chaos Inoculation would be ideal eventually as that makes us immune to Chaos.
Subterfuge Mask got a nerf but it is still very good.

How it Plays

LEVELING 1 - 41

1. Quarterstaff Strike - use for rage gen or when out of mana - it might deal more damage than 2. early - Frost Bomb for extra damage

2. Wind Blast - your AoE clear and Stun builder on Bosses for 3., pairs well with Herald of Ash

3. Wing Blast - Power Charge generator for 4.

4. Falling Thunder - massive Single Target damage

5. Killing Palm - very helpful early on for Power Charges - TAKE IT AS FIRST SKILL GEM

6. Devour - easy power charges

7. Staggering Palm - extra proj and damage

OPTIONAL: Rend - extra damage buff

LEVELING 41 - ENDGAME

1. Whirling Assault - one button to it all

2. Tempest Bell - for tough Rares and Bosses

4. Killing Palm - power charges and damage

5. Staggering Palm - extra proj and damage

6. Charged Staff - extra damage buff

EARLY ENDGAME

1. Whirling Assault - one button to do it all

2. Tempest Bell - for tough Rares and Bosses

3. Charged Staff - extra damage buff

4. Killing Palm - power charges and damage

5. Staggering Palm - extra proj and damage

OPTIONAL: Hand of Chayula - to apply Sniper's Mark for giga damage boost with leech Mark of Siphoning II
