What are the Best Classes for Cyclone Builds in PoE?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

I would like to know ur experiences about cyclone builds in general too, I tested an Ascendant Slayer/Raider Mix  and it was really good with that Starforge. Im kinda new so dunno what weapons are good etc. but I have fun with it and it feels quite strong. Any real purpose to go full Raider, Slayer, Chieftain, Slayer etc? Can every Class play cyclone with a good weapon? The in-game currency is available at the professional online gaming house. The interested gamers can poe currency buy from those professional online gaming houses in the most affordable cost.

Cyclone is a very much a ‘one size fits all’ Skill, it’s pretty much usable by any class in the game. That said, the more niche Ascendancies, will naturally get little to no use from it. Saboteur Cyclone, just isn’t going to be a thing, for example. But Assassin Cyclone? Going Full Raider Cyclone, is basically you wanting all of the speed. You’ll be zipping around the map like it’s nobody’s business, with half a dozen or so Frenzy charges. It’s a fast, high damage output. Slayer, is more or less a strong defensive style. Slayer Overleech means you’ll be hard pressed to die, short of absurd one shots. Slayer can be scaled in various different ways, and is more likely the most played class for Cyclone.

Chieftain is likely by far the best Ascendancy for Elemental Cyclone. I’m pretty sure you can get 100% Fire conversion with this, and the damage scaling from there is all sorts of nice and juicy. Like Slayer, Chieftain is strong and defensive. The Chieftain also gets access to a buff that’s generally provided by a several exalt amulet, that’s name escapes me right now. Eye of Chayula, perhaps? (as stated below, by /u/unilateral9999 it’s actually the Xoph’s Blood ) Without the need for that Amulet, the Chieftain is free to choose another amulet for end-game.

Champion competes with Slayer fairly well, IMO. With little in the way of investment, you can get yourself to Tier 15 Maps. The Champion is amazing, in that you can pick up Resolute Technique for free via his Ascendancy, this node is generally picked by every single class, unless it’s going Crit. Since Champion has 100% hit chance, you can make a pretty solid Crit Cyclone that will scale well with investment.

Scion Slayer/Raider, which you’ve already played, is more or less the best of both worlds. it has great survivability thanks for Slayer, plus Phys reflect immune. Then get great damage from Raider, free Frenzy generation on bosses. Slayer/Raider is generally a very safe, and scalable setup that i’d describe as ‘it just works’ class.
