About the Build

Cyclone is one of the comfiest skills to play and with the 3.27 buff it became even better. 99% of the time you will be pressing one button and rolling over all the enemies.

It has 3 layers of damage that stack on top of each other automatically: Cyclone of Tumult itself + Shockwave Support and finally General's Cry that spawns Mirage Warriors that will use Sunder (early) or Ground Slam of Earthshaking (endgame) to finish off your foes.

As defenses, you will have a huge over leech + capped block as well.

It’s very easy to setup and works with very scuffed gear at the start but can scale to endgame reaching good single target DPS + AoE clear in the Endgame.

It’s a newbie-friendly build that’s easy to play and not very expensive to setup.

Around level 92 and your first Watchstones, the tree will change quite a bit.

You’ll be dropping the entire right-hand section, so no more Precise Technique. Instead we go to the left side. There, we focus on picking up block nodes and critical strike chance nodes.

Desecrate

How it Plays

You press and hold the Cyclone button and everything triggers by itself.

On bosses, you will need to cast Desecrate to spawn corpses allowing General's Cry to start working.

Reuse Desecrate if you have less than 5 mirage warriors. You can check their amount in your left up corner.

▸ General’s Cry explained

General's Cry is providing a huge chunk of damage and once it’s setup, you don’t need to think about it anymore.

It triggers once you hit an enemy with your Cyclone and spawns Mirage Warriors from corpses around you.

What’s neat is that they’ll target the strongest enemy nearby if there are boss ads nearby for example, making their single target very reliable.

How it Works

You Spin A LOT!
