How to dodge Shaper's slam on a Cyclone build?

I'm doing something similar to Etup's Ngahamu build. This build is the funnest I ever had on POE since Mjolner/LS way back in 14`.


I only have around 5.7k ES. I am using a Tabula still. Still trying to craft/farm for a nice ES armor.

I am not running grace like he is yet still farming for an Enlighten Lv.4. However I farmed from 85-95 with a Dying Sun/Jade Flask/Vinktars/Basalt and can do most of the guardians face tanking and never had a problem with any boss yet.

Until Shaper's 1 hit slam. I can see the black shader effects show up and I move away. However, I am in the process of cycloning when I see the Shaper's black distorted hand start forming. And then when my cyclone animation stops to move away, there is not enough time.

Do I need more attack speed or maybe is there a way to animation cancel out of Cyclone? Thanks in advance!

Edit: The reason I say atk speed is because it seems like more attack speed I got, the faster I can "snap out" of cycloning, if that makes sense. I think I need that to get away from the slam?

Cyclone animation lasts until you reach the point you clicked on, so to get a more responsive cyclone you need to click closer to you and get more movement speed.

Thank you

So it seems like I need to do the Diablo 2 style Whirlwind trick with the mouse around my character and keep it close? I am a pathfinder and I had my flask and I'm at around +145% ms modifier. Is this enough, or maybe more of my reaction time?

I just feel when I do move away, his slam agro's towards me a bit. Maybe I do need more ms or I'm not moving far enough

Yeah, you should definitely keep it close if you want more control. Can't really help you much with specific tips about the encounter, have you checked any videos of other people killing the boss?
