The Cyclone set - Elementalist is weak

Going to keep this short. Cyclone Archon is god tier, Cyclone Vindicator is very good with sub 7 min cruci but Cyclone Elementalist has a much harder time. Kiting and Thermite Mines don’t go together so well, and this caster needs to move a lot.

Demo specific mods will prevent Archon and Vindicator being buffed. I think increasing the thermite mine radius is necessary given kiting needs. Possibly going further and making Elementalist tankier with demo specific mods is also a good thing (blast shield duration and recast or make ulzuin wrath actually heal etc.); keeping boss within mine radius is very restrictive on player movement. Despite the 40%+ phys res obtainable with this set the caster cannot tank so well.

I think it should actually do something like increase duration of BS, or decrease its cooldown.

+1 to buff Elementalist. Revert Wind Devils nerfs (Elementalists needs this damage), buff Demo part of the set and nerf EoR.

+1

Exactly

Nerf the element flat damage just dont screw with physical or Chaos EOR which have no where near the efficiencies as Cyclone. :eek:

Why wouldn’t physical EoR be as efficient?

^have yet to test this. Might be my next project

Armor is a major issue and since all your hits are small hits they get blocked by armor like crazy.

Dps really isn’t that great and survibility is meh compared to something like cooldown reset spellbreaker. Gonna struggle shard 75 without good piloting and you dont have tornados to kite, cant solo any superbosses without basically revamp your entire build :S

Well. My goal is to hit 75. Anything else is icing on the cake. To insinuate (and perhaps I’m misinterpreting you, so apologies in advance) that a build isn’t good because it can’t go past SR 75 is to be rather…delusional.

As for piloting skills? I think I’ve got that shit on lock. :rolleyes:

Well it isn’t that delusional considering first page full of retaliation that can afk to win it. Also the point is cyclone is an outlier and need balanced accordingly. That spellbinder nerf hit warlock so hard it basically disappeared from skills&build section. I don’t want such a major knock on effect on builds that are viable but not too strong.

Well. What percentage of all builds in the world do you think the builds in the 1st page comprise of?

Saying an elementalist is the weakest option is stating the obvious, it’s way down on the list of class power, barely above defiler.
