Dear exiles, I will share the Cyclone of Tumult Slayer Build with you today.
Important Notes
Cyclone of Tumult is the new transfigured version of the Cyclone skill. It grants 33% more damage and 40% more Area of Effect, but it makes you a lot slower.
With The Stampede boots, we can remove this downside and have a super powerful Cyclone. Don't forget to keep your regular Cyclone until you get those unique boots.
We get stun immunity on this build with the new Wildwood Primalist Ascendancy. It would help if you got a charm with "cannot be stunned while fortified". It is cheap and easy to get, but don't forget to do it because stun immunity is important on Cyclone builds.

Mandatory Uniques
The Stampede
These boots are super important for this build because they always cause your base movement speed to be 150%. Because of the Cyclone of Tumult has no downside at all.
These boots can also be anointed by cassia. I recommend you get Cruel Preparation to compensate for the lack of life and elemental resistances.
Another possibility is to get Kinetic impacts if, instead of more life, you want more damage.

Leveling
Tips
From 1 to 12, use Ground Slam.
Then, use Sunder until level 28.
Then, you can already use Cyclone.
Main Skills
● Reaching level 8, you can also support your Ground Slam with Maim and Added Fire Damage.
● Reaching level 12, replace Ground Slam with Sunder.
● Reaching level 16, activate Herald of Purity and Summon Skitterbots for more damage.
● Reaching level 18, replace Added Fire Damage with Melee Physical Damage.
● Reaching level 28, replace Sunder with Cyclone. Also, replace Ruthless with Infused Channeling. It's also a good time to equip your Edge of Madness.
● Reaching level 31, replace Maim with Pulverise.
● Reaching level 44, equip the unique sword Rigwald's Charge. Now, you can start using the main Cyclone setup.
● Also, at level 44, replace Skitterbots with Blood and Sand. Also, add Dread Banner.
● Reaching level 63, equip The Stampede boots, and you can already start using the Cyclone of Tumult skill. If you don't have The Stampede boots yet, you need to keep using the regular Cyclone skill until you get them.
● Reaching level 69, replace Herald of Purity with Determination. Also, add Pride.
