[3.17] For Slayer / Champion - Ngamahu Cyclone / Consecrated Path / Tectonic Slam

Hey man what an absolutely amazing guide you have here. I wanted your opinion on something that I've been doing slightly different.

I'm currently running flesh and stone, flammability, and herald of ash. I have not been using blood and sand, and I am curious why you prioritized that over flesh and stones huge defensive bonus provided by blinding. I know you mentioned replacing flammability for flesh and stone. tldr... is blood and sand.. in your opinion, that important?

Again no criticism, just curious on your thoughts, and again thank you for the effort you've put into making a really well written guide.

Also, thinking in it I think Ill try running all four for next little bit and see how that turns out. With the -8 mana ring and blood magic on leap slap, my totems cost 3 mana and blood rage is only 8, and I have a whopping 32 mana left in reservation! Ill let ya know how it goes.

Devoto's helm is quite expensive this league. Are there any temporary alternatives we can use?

What about Vaal Pact now after they removed the 100% increased recovery?
You didn't take it in ur PoB.

Starkonja's Head. As a aside if it is no longer being taken in the tree that if you do get a Starkonja's I would recommend taking Iron Reflexes in the passive tree. When I used this build awhile ago the build used to take that and I would say it's worth since with a Starkonja's and Bronne's we have a lot of Evasion.

Vaal Pact is optional. I don't feel there is a need for that if you picked Brutal Fervour but you can always tweak the skill tree to suit your playstyle. :)

Thank you for your update, been waiting on it for a few days. I got a question regarding your gem setup.

On the Ngamahus Flame you are suggesting to put Combustion support, but then on the Cyclone 6L setup you are also suggesting to put Combustion support there, would that be redundant? If I were to replace the Combustion support on the Cyclone, what other support gems would you recommend? I am thinking Concentrate, AoE support, Elemental Focus or Physical Damage support.

Also Infused Channeling Support doesnt work right now and is bugged confirmed here https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2518002/page/1#p22026377 (that is the infusion part +% dmg and reduced % dmg taken)

Do you have any tips for temporary body armor (rare quality) ? I haven't found anything about that in the guide. By that I mean what stats to prioritize (i'm guessing life, armour and some res). I'm currently mapping with a Tabula but I feel like i'm going to lack survivability really soon.

And is there any priority as to which big item I should buy first ? I only have Ngamahu. Maybe I should rush a 5L carcass ?

Other than that the build is a treat, thank you !

Bronn's Lithe is a game changer!

Just buy a 1c Bronn's Lithe and 4L it and then wait until you can 5L it.

I currently have 2ex in store. Maybe I can already buy the 5L version ?
If so, what support gem did you drop off of Cyclone ?

Thanks !
