Cyclone, poe’s most popular skill has many iterations, shapes, forms, preferences and whatnot. Here we have to tell you about the build of Ultimate DPS Cyclone Block Berserker.
Pros and Cons
1. Pros
- Strong bosser with amazing clear
- Requires no uniques to function whatsoever
- Therefore reasonably SSF-Viable
- Sufficiently Tanky through Block, Life and Fortify
2. Cons
- Optimizing it for maximum damage can be hard in SSF
- Incredibly hungry for attributes
Gem Links
1. Cyclone – Main Link (6-Link)
Awakened Gems are needed to push beyond 20 Million DPS but honestly that isn’t even a necessity whatsoever.
- Cyclone
- Infused Channelling Support
- Awakened Brutality Support
- Awakened Melee Physical Damage Support
- Fortify Support
- Impale Support
2. Leap Slam Mobility
Leap Slam is the mobility of choice. We have a decent amount of Attack Speed so it definitely outperforms other options here. It is linked to Blood Magic to avoid using up too much mana or having to invest in some kind of mana sustain.

- Blood Magic Support
- Faster Attacks Support
- Steelskin
3. Cast when Damage Taken
Since you want as much mitigation as possible, you’re using a mediocrely leveled Cast when Damage Taken Support to mitigate some incoming damage. Since you have a free socket in a 4-Link, this also is where you Berserk buff goes.

- Immortal Call (10)
- Increased Duration Support

5. Aura Setup 2
These go in your 5-Linked Weapon. In case you have a 6th socket, Blood Rage can be socketed here. Blood Rage does not need to be linked to the other 5 Gems in here.
