A smal Tip for Cycloners: "Free" Curse Imunity, Rage and Frenzy/Endurance Charges

Information

I am playing Cyclone for I don't know how many years now and because PoE got alot harder, especially for new Players I want to share a simple interaction that will boost your Damage, Mitigation and QoL by alot.

We are using Cyclone wich is a Channeling Skill that hits alot. We are going to abuse this fact.First: Get your Hands on a Scold's Bridle. What Scold's does is that you are going to hit yourself each time you attack, and as I mentioned above you are hitting alot with Cyclone. And for once you really like to get hit alot.

Second: Annoint or get Charging Offensive. This Notable grants you a "10% Chance to get a Frenzy Charge" and "10% Chance to get and Endurane Charge" when you are hit while Channeling.This means that you are now permanently generating Charges while you are Channeling Cyclone.

Third: Get a Chains of Emancipation. This Belt makes it so, that when a Enemy hits you, you'll get cursed with Temporal Chains. The returns are, that you get maximum Rage when you lose Temporal Chains and you gain imunity to Curses while you have atleast 25 Rage. Rage has the effect that you don't lose Rage unless you weren't hit or gained Rage recently. And because we use Scold's Bridle, as long as we used any Skill in the last 4 Seconds we won't lose Rage.

tl/dr

Use Cyclone, Scold's Bridle, Chains of Emancipation and the Notable Charging Offensive to gain "Permanent" 50 Rage, Curse Imunity, Frenzy Charge generation and Endurance Charge generation.

This is a cool interaction but you're losing life and resistances (mostly with Scolds) doing this.

That said, is the damage you take from Scold's significant? Do you need overleech to not feel like or regular regen is fine?

You wont feel it at all, atleast with Cyclone. You'll have 3 Endurance Charges by this, so you are already mitigating 12% of it, the rest is pretty much negated to 4-8 Damage by Armour.

Well, 12% physical damage to be fair. That said it's still a cool interaction to be mindful of, keeps charges up during bosses maybe?

Yeah Reduced Phys, because Scold's makes you take Phys.

Add to it the Timetwist and you won't feel the Temp Chains either.

Didn't think of that one! You can make alot of other interactions work with Scold's. You can also force Temporal Chains when facing Bosses by Weapon switching to Hiltless.
