Need some advice on my new build for next league.

Question

I am debating on making a tanky end game melee build

​

the choices i have are:

facebreaker cyclone surrender build

non facebreaker cyclone surrender build

or hallow palm technique cyclone/tectonic slam build

open minded to any other similar builds

​

I have played facebreaker cyclone surrender in the past but i was getting 1-shotted in t15-16 maps/endgame content. I want something of equal tankiness, but able to handle the 1shots so i can level/progress without much headache. Ultimately I want to reach 100 and be able to handle virutally any content (95% at least). Im somewhat of a casual player so expensive 50+ex builds arent really in my budget. Im planning on playing the first few days of the new league so I want something i can piece together and be able to slowly progress moving forward to reach level 100. Any suggestions on a solid build thats not difficult to start off with as a league starter but has lots of room for upgrades//min/maxing. I want to go with a playstyle similar to the ones i mentioned so if anyone has suggestions for which one i should go for or alternate builds, please let me know! thank you!

Will have to wait a week for patch notes, will need to see what is getting buffed/reworked/nerfed before knowing anything about builds for next league.

We won't be able to give good advice until we see the patch notes. However, it's usually good to pick a starter build that doesn't require any uniques. I'd recommend a basic impale cyclone slayer over any of these.

I highly suggest to not league start a build with hollow palm. the jewel will be much more expensive and rare because it only drops from delerium.

okay so im going to unearth this thread of mine now that the patch notes are out. All of these builds in question are nerfed a bit (herald of purity switching from flat phys to %more phys) but not significantly enough to make it nonviable by any means. Ive been exploring some alternate builds such as necromancer or a VD build (never tried it) Most of the builds i listed should be easy to assemble as a starter build (minus the hallow palm technique build; but its a build i would consider end-game with proper dex stacking.) I typically dont make more than 1 or 2 builds a league so i would like to mainly invest into my builds as im progressing throughout the league.
