My apologies that this one took a while. I've been pretty sick and it's made recording very difficult. I also tried to polish the video style and improve the overall quality quite a bit with this one! Hope it shows, any feedback is always appreciated. If you have any questions, I'll do my best to help! Subscribe for more Path of Exile content just like this!


Post Launch Build Updates:

– In regard to the leveling weapon section, you cannot wield a Lifesprig with either of the two sceptres. You'll need to either dual wield two wands or two sceptres. You can't mix the two unfortunately.

–Inspiration support is a fantastic alternative to hypothermia, as it adds plenty of elemental damage, additional critical strike chance and reduces the cost of cyclone further.

You can also gain a huge amount of AoE by replacing concentrated effect with inspiration. However you will suffer a reasonable dps loss with that swap.

– Thank you to user Indeed317 and user Wudude for an alternative dps based glove setup for the build. If you're using rare gloves you can consider utilizing a 4 link of Vortex - Bonechill - Unbound Ailments - Arcane Surge at a low level. This setup will give us a nice dps boost against enemies hit by the Vortex. You will however have to make some sacrifices defensively by dropping the steelskin setup.

–Loreweave is a guaranteed six socket and cannot be used with jewellers touch. It will be relatively easy to 5 link with a decent number of fusings however. My apologies for this error.

–I made hefty mention of it in the video but give serious consideration to picking up any cooldown reduction modifiers that you can get your hands on.

–We already have life leech in the build via blood drinker!

–We are immune to stun while cycloning, making the helmet enchant that provides stun avoidance much less useful.
