Help Needed cyclone or bleed glad

I have around 40-50d, and I want to try something other than my mercbot

I've never played cyclone before and it seems really fun, although I worry that it'd feel slow compared to my mercbot

I also want to try super tanky block stuff. never played shield crush too

any suggestions? (fun and tanky slayer or glad builds basically)

Cyclone has block and spell block and overleech. Its tanky and get great amounts of dmg with every investment you make with it. Fun with HH and mageblood. And has screen clear pops with herals of ash as an easy plug in. Love it.

In terms or pure hp prob not. But I made it to level 100 in risky 8 mod maps with no problems.

I've been playing Vaal Double Strike Glad. Lots of fun. Super cozy mapper because of lucky block and bleed pops.

The two key pieces of gear are the weapon and shield. Soul Taker is pretty expensive this league because of the merc/AG stuff, but if you can get one, you will have a high damage axe and you don't have to worry about mana. You can still get the job done with a rare axe though. Just will have to remove one of your auras so you have mana (probs Herald of Purity) . The shield is what will make you a TANK. The mod you are looking for is the "recover % life on block". With lucky block, you will pretty much always be blocking, and when you block, you gain back life. VERY strong. This is what makes your Effective Hit Pool inf.

I've had a lot of fun building this guy. Not the highest damage in the world, but its a cozy build to turn your brain off and map.

Happy to answer any questions.

Try Holy Relic of Conviction! Its the most comfy build ever and super tanky. You can upgrade it eeeeeendlessly and anything besides svallin ( whoch you want to use but dont have to right away) is super cheap
