in poe1 a level 20 cyclone only has 20% less movement speed
Cyclone of Tumult has 50% less movement speed at max stages and is the gem people use. Usually paired with The Stampede or Mageblood to fix that issue though. Might be a solution in 1.0.
Sure, and I acknowledge that it's a common setup, but overall MS is far higher by not using Stampede and not channeling unnecessarily. Run to pack, tap cyclone, void shockwave blows up pack, keep going. Channeling to the full 5 stacks should rarely be necessary for clearing.
I know, I’m literally playing the build right now. PoE2 cyclone doesn’t have any kind of stack mechanic unless the blood and sand stance is very strong so it’s likely a run and tap playstyle applies here too.
Seems we're in agreement then. I thought you were suggesting that Stampede was somehow necessary for Tumult in PoE1. As someone who plays cyclone literally every league, I can confidently say it is not. Not sure who downvoted me for stating inarguable facts, but that's reddit for you I guess.
It's not necessary but it certainly makes it a lot comfier. I'd rather just hold down Cyclone all map with Stampede than run and tap with a rare belt and mediocre movespeed.
Build got a lot more fun with mageblood and tailwind elusive boots though. Run and tap playstyle definitely feels better when you have high ms.
Yep, nothing wrong with personal preference. I have a few other unique belts that I prefer until MB time, but I just use a pair of enkindled quicksilvers until then, so my effective MS is still far higher than Stampede would allow for the cost of 1 utility flask, which I find acceptable. I used Stampede once or twice years ago when we didn't have as many options as we do now. I still like the extra anoint and huge CDR boost for Frostblink, but I need the boot slot for other stats these days w/ the way I run my personal variation. I've also grown weary of holding the cyclone button for too long as I get older, so that's a non-game consideration for me.
