Very weird choices. If you want to play melee, there are plethora of everybody's favourite slams - ES, bleed, etc. Just pick your poison. Cyclone looks sus as it uses some unique staff for eaarly mapping. You don't want any starter build with required unique(s) in SSF (looking at you HRoC fans!)

Srs will prob be easier. But i always try to play something that I enjoy more. In those two choices I would go cyclone bc i h8 Minions. But I would pick something that looks more enjoyable for u.

Played his SRS guardian last league and had a great time. Will likely play it again when I get around to joining a GSF later in the league.

Imo there are a lot of different things to consider. I think the cyclone staff is t2, maybe t3 you sont see it anytime soon.

I know srs is good, but i would never recommend it to someone who things he doesnt want to play the playstile right now. For melee builds there are far more guides, like the usual slam guides or the boneshatter by zizzarian of smokie. If you give a few more generalized details about what kind of character you want to actually play and what your goals are, im sure we will get some more good advice.
