I know shockwave cyclone's the in thing now but I kinda missed the traditional weaponry so I'll be limiting myself to two handed swords this league. The great part is that that two-handed swords somehow offer really good DPS at literally no budget thanks to the frenzy hit and massive crit chance talents.

Equip:

The starter weapon is a Hiltless thanks to its inbuilt life magic and complete ignorance of the downsides as a Slayer. There is zero influence items to accommodate the new league having them late plus frees up the opportunity to gain free implicits with the new implicit currencies. You can literally pick gears up to find good ones to use as almost all of the power come from slayers offensive ascendancy and aura stacking effects. Most of the gears are simply just for life, suppression and resist.

POB:

Made 2 version of the cyclone slayer league start to suit different taste. The first is abyssus with unwavering stance (no stuns) and additional max resistances (8M~ dps). https://pastebin.com/FrLC7Kaf

The second is far more defensive without using abyssus/unwavering but comes with evasion in addition to armour (grace+determination, 5M dps). https://pastebin.com/AvN3r8Zm

Both builds include the best defensive options covered so pick any you like (full suppression and almost 30K armour). I'll probably be going with the evasion/armour variety with its 180K Ehp at a 10C cost lol.

Bonus:

planned end game big dick version (low life arn's anguish cyclone, 217M dps with determination, or 250M+ without). https://pastebin.com/vK8BtFy1

Ask any questions you like! As a season POB user, there's nothing checked to make fake DPS in my builds so any DPS you see is guaranteed (nothing situational).
