Dmg Mana

DMG (Mana) and Alexis will be paired with Ace. Jaden will be paired with someone else. Now a few more points. In the flash backs I will be referring to Ace as (Anpu- Egyptian meaning royal child) he will be the Son of Atem. Also note I will be using the initials DMG for Dark Magician Girl. Notes Muramana grants a total of 55 attack damage by itself., It takes 53 uses of the unique passive Shock to deactivate itself provided no mana is gained or expended in other means. This way it converts to a total of 7% of maximum mana to deal 1% of maximum mana as physical. To recover mana a character must rest. All spell casters except for Warlocks recover 100% of their mana after a long rest. Warlocks recover 100% of their mana after a short or long rest. You cannot cast a spell that you have not memorized. To memorize a spell it must be in your spellbook. Sign in to like videos, comment, and subscribe. Watch Queue Queue.

Hi guys, with 3.7's melee update, cyclone builds are very popular this league. Most of the cyclone players are using swords or axes, as a result, these endgame weapons are now pretty expensive and are somewhat hard to acquire.
Given how staves are still cheap this league, this build manages to be budget-friendly yet endgame viable. Can be used as a league starter.
Why use Staff? (besides being cost-efficient)
Because I can't afford Starforge. Staff has some very good crit nodes in the top-left side of the tree, with Slayer's new ascendancy Overwhelm, staves that only has 5% base crit chance will still crit very well. This also makes Disintegrator a very decent endgame weapon.
Another minor upside is endurance charges, with reliable melee crit chance, we can maintain 3 charges while mapping and bossing, extra tankiness.

Pure Phys - Impale Chance & Effect
With this build we'll get 90% impale chance and 78% increased impale effect from Imaple Support, Dread Banner and Swift Skewering. This makes a impale record around 18% phys dmg per stack, offering a multiplier close to 80% more.
Some math
(1+17.8%*5)*90% + 1*10% = 1.80
Realistically, it's will be lower since you won't have full stacks in the initial hits, and will not be able to expire all stacks before killing a boss.

Some of the effects aren't included in the PoB calculation, hence added a custom Jewel above Resolute Technique to calculate actual DPS.

Slayer Ascendancy Order
Overwhelm is good for staves that don't have the increase crit% mod, you can take other ascendancies if you are using a Hegemony's Era.

Pantheon
Major Gods - Soul of Lunaris
Minor Gods - Soul of Gruthkul


Links

Cyclone Links (In Chest or Weapon)

CwDT Setups
CwDT + Orb of Storms + Power Charge on Critical + Purifying Flame
CwDT + Blade Vortex + Curse on Hit + Assassin's Mark
1. Purifying Flame creates consecrated ground which can help increase crit% against bosses if triggered. (Optional)
2. CwDT BV setup can be ignored if you have Curse on Hit rings or gloves.
3. If you have free slots, you can consider fossil crafting abyssal jewel sockets onto your gear to upgrade your character furthermore.

Gear & Stats
Gear
Staff
For endgame, try getting a 550+DPS Eclipse Staff.
Hegemony's Era and Disintegrator are decent and cost-efficient choices.

Chest
Mod Priority: Life > Ele Res. > Stats
Later on, you can fossil craft a chest with mana reduction and/or Maim supported mod.
Decent uniques: Belly of the Beast, Carcass Jack

Helmet
Mod Priority: Life / Ele Res.
Decent uniques: Starkonja

Gloves
Mod Priority: Atk Speed / Flat Phys > Life / Ele Res.

Belt - Perseverance

With Fortify as our 6th link, we can have perma onslaught using Perseverance. The movement speed bonus via onslaught is very good for cyclone builds, also makes our gameplay a smoother. Can use a rare Stygian belt or The Tactician instead.

Amulet
Mod Priority: Crit Multi > Life / Crit% > Stats
Try get a Turquoise or Onyx base to compensate for the lack of Int/Dex
Craft Options: +1 Minimum Frenzy / Melee range & dmg
