USE THE DROPDOWN MENU IN THE TOP-RIGHT TO SELECT BUILD VARIANTS! -----------------------------------------LEVELING------------------------------------------------------------------ Level with Sunder until you have enough gold (+ Regrets) to respec to Cyclone should be around level 75 or so you CAN level with Cyclone, if you wish - follow the "Cyclone Swap" build variant as close as possible to achieve the best results. also, take Worthy Foe > Master of Metal for your first two Ascendancies using a Terminus Est starting at level 51 will also help IMMENSELY be sure to grab Resolute Technique by late Act 3 / early Act 4 (Taunt node DOES give perma-acc but doesn't feel good with slams hitting hard n once) // ASCENDANCIES // normal Lab = Worthy Foe cruel Lab = Fortitude merc Lab = Master of Metal uber Lab = Unstoppable Hero if you need more tips for leveling with Sunder, I have an ENTIRELY detailed leveling guide written for Marauder - you can use it for its "Notes" & "Skills" sections but FOLLOW THIS GUIDE'S PASSIVE TREE! << https://pobb.in/eFWqRhN1OiSJ >> ** WRITTEN FOR MARAUDER - DO NOT SWAP TO Earthshatter IF YOU FOLLOW THIS EXTRA PoB FOR LEVELING! YOU ARE SWAPPING TO Cyclone! --------------------------------------- RESPEC TO CYCLONE --------------------------------------------------- for those of you who leveled with Sunder, I recommend swapping to Cyclone around level 75. this will be around early yellow (t6) maps. you'll need to respec about 45 points on the tree: 1) start by using the respec points you gained through the campaign (full list of respec quests, here: https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/List_of_items_granting_respec_points ) 2) then, use any Regret Orbs you may have found (remember to convert Scouring Orbs > Regret Orbs at a jewelry vendor!) 3) finally, use all of the Gold you have at Faustus (Kingsmarch NPC) -- THE MAJORITY OF, IF NOT ALL, POINTS SHOULD BE RESPEC'D BY THIS POINT -- if you have any points left to respec, either buy some Regret Orbs off of the Currency Exchange (Faustus, again) OR just farm some more gold and respec those points later. ---------------------------------------CYCLONE DETAILS---------------------------------------------------------- use regular Cyclone for general mapping use Cyclone of Tumult for pinnacle bossing (and prob t17s too)... you can also grab The Stampede boots and use Tumult for everything, if you want. ** VERY IMPORTANT ** you do NOT NEED TWO SEPARATE 6-LINKS! simply replace the regular Cyclone gem with Tumult in your existing 6L clearing (mapping) = SAND STANCE bossing / tanky enemies = BLOOD STANCE -- FOR STUNS -- early/mid maps = Brine King pantheon (should be plenty, given our dmg mitigation from Fortify & Armor / Eva) can also buy a Kiara's Determintation flask if things get too spicy late game = 2 medium cluster jewels w/ Unwavering Focus (I will update the PoB accordingly once I get there) -- FOR MANA ISSUES -- getting at least one "-x mana cost of channelling skills" (Elreon's Veiled mod on jewelry) will fix everything you can also drop Herald of Purity temporarily if you want, before you acquire any -mana cost jewelry ---------------------------------------------FUTURE UPDATES--------------------------------------------------------- as I play the build, I will iron things out (such as stun immunity, more AoE / movespeed, potentially swapping to 1h weapons lategame, etc) << https://youtu.be/umLMWnsjuYE?si=HPxfJK2NPyJn2Nsa >> (PoB in description) << twitch.tv/wooliegaming >> (type !build) Questions? leave a comment on vid or stop by my stream
