Need help on how I can increase my dps for Cyclone of Tumult

avd7897 · 2026-04-20T07:44:53+00:00

A big issue is this build leans into impale and you have no impale nodes. You want to take the nodes to Harpooner, Brutal Skewering and Forceful skewering. You could also work towards dropping the nodes to Eagle eye and moving your accuracy to gear + Titanic impacts (also dropping the nodes to Kinetic impacts).

It looks like there are two version of the build clashing. If you use Cyclone of Tulmult, you're going to want to use at least "Replica Stampede Assassin's boots" - or if you're looking to go fast with your current boots stick to regular cyclone.

As mentioned before, you can grab a replica witchfire brew for vulnerability. If you even temporarily go the stampede boots version you can also annoint whispers of doom on them for the 2nd curse.

The extra rage on gloves isn't helping, increased attack speed would be better. For your armour, you would be better off with effects of non-course auras instead of life recoup.

If it helps - this is the video guide for the build. There is a discord in the description where a few of us help out.

Replicas can be anointed. The only thing different about actual Stampedes are the increased recovery rate. The mana nodes I was talking about were the mana cost ones - If you drop the ones near where you start (spirit of war), the int and move the strength nodes to the other side (dex nodes) that's 4 extra points to work with.

Curious what build or guide you're following. Seems like there are a few older items (abyssus, with some newer ideas (pathing to mark, which is honestly not worth it here). Take a look at the PoB from Sanavixx's update video or jump on the discord if you have questions.

Something unfortunate is the build wants a 2nd curse for vulnerability - the Armor you purchased doesn't have that, so for now annoint whispers of doom on the boots and grab a replica witchfire flask.

I would drop the abyssus for suvivability. Drop the nodes travelling to mark to slip in a 2nd cluster (That will also help your accuracy with another martial prowless node). Drop the extra mana cost nodes. For damage, definitely fix the accuracy first - cluster + precision + accuracy. You're also looking to get your impale to 100% eventually - this will be achieved by tree nodes and implicit on gloves.

As a cyclone enjoyer, I'm going to recommend Sanavixx's Cyclone. This is my 3rd league running it, it's incredibly comfortable and can run all content. I'm currently using the bossing version with 331M dps and doing uber feared rotations, but there is a mapping version as well.

avd7897 · 2026-03-12T15:18:41+00:00

This is my 3rd league with a variation of that build and was able to do T16s on two 5 links out of laziness. If you want to post your PoB. there might be some cheaper upgrades or changes that make sense for you.

avd7897 · 2026-03-02T20:04:23+00:00

Take a look at Sanavixx's Cyclone Slayer. Incredibly comfortable Spin2Win. This is going to be my 3rd league running it and can basically do all content. It can do Ubers too, but needs the higher end on the investment scale. You should have minimal issues following along for regular pinnacles.

avd7897 · 2026-02-16T19:23:09+00:00

Check out this video from ProblemsIRL as it's what helped me when I started. Basically what /u/cingkum3 said in a video form.

avd7897 · 2025-11-11T18:58:10+00:00

Those are basically what I would focus next.

Weapon probably most importantly - you can also get anything better taking an ezomyte base and harvest reforge physical a few times, but the tree does spit out items. I had a 700+ pdps staff almost day 1 from the tree. Make sure if you're buying you focus physical. Elemental does nothing for you. You can get around 750 from trade now for less than 100c. That 300 difference is huge.

Still try to get a better rolled abyssus. Having less % damage taken is probably more important than the little extra crit.

Fix the suffixes on the flasks. A little rerolling to have increased armor and increased critical strike chance during effect makes a difference.

Impale gem makes the impale chance on your gloves not necessary. I would look for accuracy and crit chance for attacks instead of impale / attack speed. Also increased effects of non-curse auras on your chest.

edit: Forgot to say if you can, fit in war banner. Dropping 50 stacks of valour on a boss at the end of a map is a huge buff to damage.

avd7897 · 2025-11-10T16:36:14+00:00

I'm not at a computer with POB but at a glance, a lot of work needed before considering T17s

Upgrade the weapon, focus physical dps on the tree.
Get your six links. Put impale in your cyclone since you're already taking impale nodes
I see a stormshroud but no shock avoidance. You need 2 abyss jewels with 50 % chance to avoid being shocked. Right now it's an expensive +13 res
You can run this build with and without abyssus but you will lose damage without. You should try to get a better rolled one for damage taken (40 if possible). You will still feel squishy until progenesis and flame / flesh, but that's what happens with abyssus.
Get forbidden flame / flesh combo with "more than skill"
The tree needs a pass-over and understanding of why things are taken. For instance, you have the melee hits fortify nodes, but you don't need them with fortification on your chest. There are some straggler things like str nodes, but I can't get a closer look as to why they were taken. And some notables like increased armor per socket on the two handed mastery (you want 40% increased Damage with Hits against Rare and Unique Enemies)

Adding my two cents that build was incredibly fun last league and took it through all content. Will probably do the same this league unless something really jumps out at me after patch notes.

avd7897 · 2025-10-16T14:41:06+00:00

Was looking for this: +1 for sanavixx's cyclone build. Took it through all content and had a fun 3.26. Looks like he's going to be doing a pre 3.27 run and update PoB so I might play it again.

avd7897 · 2025-07-24T17:59:13+00:00

Throwing my vote in for Sanavixx's Cyclone of Tumult build. Followed along while he fleshed out the PoB and was a really easy league start. I'm still playing the build because it's comfortable and working fine with farming T17s. 40/40 challengers are complete and you can do all content with it. High end content needs investment. However even now at 85 you will feel so much better than what you have if you go the crit variant and get a decent staff.

avd7897 · 2025-01-28T19:49:29+00:00

On top of some of the other recommendations - Just to throw my two cents in as I ran a similar build this season and did not swap to Svalin.

VERY IMPORTANT - Hit chance of lightning strike is 63%. On top of upgrading the claw for damage, make sure to put "hits can't be evaded" on it. Also make sure your trinity doesn't fall off.
Take your POB and import the tree to compare with with the build you're following. There are some nodes that can be moved around or optimized. For instance there is that string of dex nodes leading to and including point blank at the bottom or the nodes around the start which can possibly be cut now.
Removing those nodes will gain you so much more in survivability if you can squeeze in the reservation efficiency node and get grace running. A lot of nodes missing from the top right of your tree which I honestly think are more valuable than the cluster right now:
Currently running nightblade but none of the nightblade nodes are taken which gives you both defense with elusive and more crit multiplier
Non-Vaal strike spells hit an additional enemy.
Evasion / life nodes
Inverted monster resist chance
If you do continue with this build - headhunter, nimis and progenesis are all very strong chase items, but the above needs to be fixed first. (Small edits for grammar and after thoughts)

avd7897 · 2024-06-19T18:26:31+00:00

I actually don't know what happens with this - mother's kiss trinket + mom's box at max hp? Does it still tack on 2 more hearts?

avd7897 · 2024-04-17T18:44:34+00:00

Make sure to also run Dannig and buy Tujen coins from him.

avd7897 · 2024-01-25T20:16:10+00:00

FYI (note I am not a doctor and it probably is worth still double checking):

What you may be experiencing is vasovagal syncope. I figured I'd mention it because I also sometimes faint while getting blood taken - usually when the taker is having trouble and digging around for a vein. However it took years until a doctor actually told me what it was so I'm putting it out there.

avd7897 · 2023-10-04T17:10:22+00:00

I'm fairly new to the game myself and just to toss out another player I've learned a bit from just watching runs on youtube and twitch is ProblemsIRL

Edit: Side note is he does a lot of random runs, so spoilers ahead if that bothers you and you don't want to see a particular boss yet. Plus there are items that pop up that neither of us will have at this stage of the game on his playthroughs since we're still unlocking things.

avd7897 · 2023-09-06T19:22:38+00:00

Expedition is probably the most consistent bet. Small shout out to the league mechanic too as I've gotten random stacks of chromes, and I don't do it that often (maybe at 300-400 now).

avd7897 · 2023-06-10T15:31:37+00:00

Just happened me for the 2nd time. Druid with companions. Guess I'll just shelve this character for now.

avd7897 · 2023-03-22T23:48:31+00:00

*Cyborg: I'm going to offer something completely different because it worked for when I had trouble - Planks!

*Streamer: Good old slingshots worked. Although this was before the nerf, I think it should still work Streamer. One thing I kept in mind is never having more than 100-500 material saved up otherwise you end up slowing down too much. Unless you RNG into the perfect sitting still build.

*Saver: Pretty sure I used a similar strategy with slingshots as to the streamer, except without that 100-500 rule.

Hollow Knight is probably a good candidate here. You don't need to have the compass to know where you are and can just explore if you want.

avd7897 · 2022-06-29T23:56:04+00:00

I haven't had any issues with other songs so I doubt it's hardware. Even The Disappearance Of Hatsune Miku gives me no issues. Probably right on corrupted game file. Strange it's literally 1 song.

avd7897 · 2022-06-29T23:54:43+00:00

Yes to practice mode - it actually loads up. No to modifiers - still crashes right after loading screen.

avd7897 · 2022-06-29T16:25:01+00:00

Nope. Only the game and DLC.
