About the Build / Core Concepts
Cyclone of Tumult
Cyclone of Tumult is a transfigured version of Cyclone that does more damage and has greater AOE. However, it has one downside, which is that at max stages we move incredibly slow. To negate this effect we take advantage of 
The Stampede (or Replica Stampede) to allow our character to move at a consistent speed and become unaffected by the lesser movement speed inflicted by using the gem.
General's Cry + Ground Slam of Earthshaking
To assist our Single Target damage, we make use of a second 6-Link setup (
General's Cry + 
Sunder/
Ground Slam of Earthshaking) while leveling and during Atlas Progression. It spawns Mirage Warriors that utilize a skill attached to it that will passively deal more damage as we spin. It requires 10 nearby corpses for the maximum amount of warriors to spawn. While mapping, they will spawn naturally as we mow down foes with Cyclone, but during boss encounters we make use of a Level 1 
Desecrate to spawn corpses near our target so that our warriors can spawn.
During the campaign and early mapping we use 
Shockwave Support for additional clear. Once you can afford it, you'll want to pick up a Void Shockwave Support which does more damage and chains it explosions on packs, making it a fantastic addition to the build.
In the endgame version we drop the General's Cry setup and instead run a 6-Link aura support setup to maximize our Cyclone and Impale damage.
Defenses / Block Scaling 85-89%
Versatile Combatant is the keystone that equalizes block chances, bringing spell block up to par with attack block. Annointing 
Enigmatic Defence on our amulet grants additional block and spell block chance when you've blocked recently — perfect synergy for a build that blocks constantly. 
Whirling Barrier and 
Steelwood Stance further scales our block chance. Coupled with a 
Rumi's Concoction, this gets our attack and spell block to 65%.
In endgame investment, dual Forbidden Flame and Forbidden Flesh jewels allow access to the Gladiator’s 
More Than Skill ascendancy, which grants lucky block to both attack and spell block, a massive boost that pushes the build to near 90% block cap.
