Is it worth going Iron Reflexes to lose every Evasion for some extra armour?

Personal preferences over there. I personally don't think it is needed as long as you have 3000 armour.

5l jack or tabula ?

Just like what @Penetros said, 5L Carcass will beat Tabula.

Even a well rolled 5L rare chest will beat Tabula. :)

Just wanted to say thanks for the guide, never played cyclone before and this is a lot of fun, going to try different variations in the future, super fun skills.

I also six linked my chest yesterday, couldn't be happier, probably the best a character has been outfitted this early in the league for me.

Glad you liked the build. :)

Once you have obtained Xoph's Blood, you can look into re-coloring your chest to 3R2B1G (note that it can be very expensive on the chroms to get 5 off colors on Bronn).

If you get 2R3B1G, it will still do more damage than the current colors (2R2B2G) you have on your Bronn. Check out the gems section for the gem setup if you do get that while attempting to get 3R2B1G.

lets say i go champion, what would be the best gem to replace fortify in my body armor?

You can replace Fortify with Fire Penetration.

I have updated the guide to include the Champion variant. You can check it out under Elemental Overload section in post #2. :)

blood rage doesnt seem to go well with vaal pact. what should i do since vaal pact got buffed?

On reddit I often read that Ignite isn't as good as it used to be(?) , what do people mean with that?
I thought about going Chance to Ignite instead of Elemental Focus, but now i'm not sure anymore.
I saw some Ngamahu slayers with that setup, but they put Added Fire Damage instead of Fire Penetration in the Axe- Setup. Could you elaborate which is better or pro/cons? Thanks for the build btw, i think I played since Breach at least one Ngamahu-Build :)

You can certainly drop Blood Rage. It is an optional gem. Vaal Haste is a good choice if you want to drop Blood Rage.

Ignite used to double dip in the past but GGG had made changes to the way DOT works. It isn't as good as before but I still prefer having that in the axe because the damage difference between Elemental Focus and Chance to Ignite is minor.

With ignite, you will have much faster mapping speed because it can help to finish off mobs that didn't die from the initial hit.

EDIT: Missed out on the Added Fire vs Fire Penetration. Fire Penetration does more damage on Shaper so Fire Penetration is better.

one more question,
it says in our ascendancy 20% of overkill damage is leeches as life.
But the wiki says in regards of overkill damage, that neither Dots nor culling strike count into overkill damage. I don't understand, since we obviously leech a lot of life.

What should I do if I cannot afford a 6 socket Ngamahu at 55? Should I use something else in the meantime or get e.g. a 2 socket Ngamahu and work with only 2 support gems until I can afford a higher slot Ngamahu?
