Very fun on console like the fact i dont have to trade but.... I can so... What items should i buy? Was thinking kintsugi for body? Basically if you could trade what would be desirable and any early map gear would be appreciated knowledge

Hmm, most best-in-slot items are rares. For example a 6L rare chest with high life would be better than kintsugi (this build gets hit enough that even wind dancer is kind of a meme). I guess it's hard to search for rares on console? There are many good influenced modifiers on chests (described in the guide) that are better than uniques. Dendrobate is good for DPS but you miss out on a ton of life from chest.

Mortem Morsu or Wasp Nest are solid claws for early maps (Bino's Kitchen Knife is also nice - higher crit but lower attack speed). Atziri's step are always solid boots, just so many better rares out there now. Can't think of any other gear slots that wouldn't be better with a decent rare (which are all described in the guide).

Just got this :O
Had random influence from harvest and reforge item with a crit modifier and it rolled this.

Worth 6-linking to use over my current chest?

The helm isn't my favorite but the movement speed is nice for cyclone.

The shield is pretty bad, unless you really want the life regen (you have a ton of life gain on hit though). There's a fated version if you really wanna stick to life regen, that also gives +100-150 life. Otherwise go for something suggested in the guide or even dual wield (10% more attack speed = 10% more damage, as long as you don't go above 12aps).

The rest of the gear looks solid.

Your crit chance and hit chance are both low, I would go for the "Depth Perception" cluster on the tree (fixes both of those problems). I really like having stun avoid, so the "Unpredictable Offence" cluster would be good too. You can probably drop "No Witnesses" since you have elusive on crit. If you really like more elusive effect, you can switch to dagger and take the "Nightstalker" cluster.

Hmnm, normally I would 6-link it before crafting, using perfect fossil to get above 20 quality, then craft attribute/qual before using jewellers/fusings. If you have a hillock quality then I guess you could try to 6L it since you have a suffix to craft attr/qual.

Attack crit is nice (caps your melee crit without flasks). Attack crit is guaranteed with harvest reforge crit on elder, so you could easily recraft if you have perfect fossils to increase quality.

The biggest advantage of attack crit on this build would be using a lower base crit weapon - for example if you had a weapon with insane stats except crit, you could still use it. But I think your claw is already quite good.

MY PRE-EMPTIVE TAKE ON 3.15 NERFS:

Most CoC builds are pretty gutted by the nerf "triggered skills cost mana". However, I think this build should still be playable because our spells are only technically on a 3-link, so bladefall's mana cost is "only" ~40-45 or so depending on gem levels (of course, we'll have to wait and see if CoC applies a different mana cost multiplier).

With a combination of Gemini Claw, "Essence Sap" for leech, -mana cost on ring, and scaling cyclone's hit damage a bit (e.g. drop Perfect Agony) it should be possible to sustain mana on single target. I'll have to test in standard once the patch drops.

I don't think using a sceptre will be SSF viable (may require clarity watcher's eye, mana gain on spell hit ring, etc.) but we'll see.

I also may look at an Occultist version which can stack up some decent mana regen and take advantage of spending mana.
