Skill functions and interactions

  • Attack speed: Cyclone spins at the player's attack speed and deals damage once per spin.
  • Area of Effect and Melee Strike Range: The base radius of Cyclone is 11 (not dependent on weapon range) plus 1 radius per channeling stage. Sources of Melee Strike Range (such as Warlord's Reach) will increase Cyclone's area of effect by 8% per 1 melee range. The total area is also affected by general area of effect modifiers.
  • Movement modifiers: While channeling, the player is immune to all sources of knockback and has 30% less movement speed. Bear Traps will still stop movement. Characters can pass through enemies for the duration of the attack (this is not considered phasing).
  • Dual wielding: Cyclone will alternate weapons while dual wielding.
  • Multistrike Support: Cyclone (and all channelled skills) cannot be supported by Multistrike.

Cyclone can drop anywhere. Drop level: 28.
