So I always wanted to try the Saqawal's build but never got around to it. I've read that it's currently a shadow of its former self and not worth playing. Since I never got to play the old version I don't know what kind of dps it reached but this one hits 11mil single target with reap.

Using CF with saqawal's solves a couple problems the build had. You don't have to take reduced duration on the tree, use the timeclasp rings or warped timepiece amulet. You don't need to maximize the amount of twisters that appear because they only need to keep 10 stacks of CF up. This opens a lot of options up for tweaking the build. I haven't tried it yet but I think it may be possible to run the build with less than stellar rolls on the gloves/boots and use reduced duration on the tree until a set of gloves/boots with good rolls can be obtained.

I'm currently saving for a mageblood to use on the build because I think I can make it into a monster if I can use mageblood for defence. I was running determination but I was still dying with 30k+ armour so it felt kind of pointless and I've since swapped to zealotry for more damage. The builds main defence is speed and not getting hit. However, if we do manage to take a hit the recovery is decent so if its not a one shot we should be okay.

As for playstyle, you zoom around from pack to pack with whirling blades while the twisters destroy everything. Tight maps are amazing but open maps clear nice too. Bosses die pretty quickly so my strat is to just burst them down as fast as possible with reap. Have completed Sirus, conquerors, guardians and Cortex so far. Not deathless but a lot of that is likely due to the fact that I'm a shit player.

It's possible to run this build without reap and only use CF. You get about 2mil dps and all you do is run around avoiding stuff for bosses. I've taken down conquerors with just CF and it took about 2mins for 44% more life, 60% less curse effect Al-Hezmin fight.

There could be some potential upgrades I'm missing so feel free to critique. If anyone can solve the defence issue without losing too much damage that would be amazing. The build is already one of my favourite builds this league, if it had defence to go with the damage it could potentially become my go to build for future leagues.

This gif isn't the best example but I already had it made for another post. Not using whirling blades in this so it's actually a bit slower than the current version.
