How to make the Scion more desirable

Solution one: buff most starter nodes slightly

* 0,4% regen to 0,5%
* 10 life to 12
* 4% attack speed to 5%, and 3% to 4%
* 3% cast speed to 4%
* 20% mana regen to 30%
* 18% elemental resistances to 20%
* 10% spd to 12%, and 6% to 8%
* 2% MS to 3%
* 6% MPD to 10%
* Path of the Warrior from 12% to 16% physical damage and +20 Armour instead of +10
* Path of the Hunter from 12% to 16% projectile damage

And please, switch cast speed and spell damage, the current position doesn't make much sense to me at least.

Solution two: a bit more elegant...

Solution two looks pretty cool. Scion doesn't need very powerful starting nodes, her strength should lie in her starting location.

I think the devs should be very careful buffing the Scion. When she was first introduced, she was pretty much the go-to class for spellcasters and a bunch of other archetypal builds. The Scion isn't supposed to excel at typical melee/archer/caster builds - she's supposed to be for those weird cross-tree builds where none of the usual starts make sense, and I think she still does the job here. Maybe a small buff is OK, but her nodes should definitely be weaker than other classes to balance out the flexibility.

That's because she has far too much baggage. She really needs to go see a therapist so she has someone to talk to about her issues.

As silly as it sounds, her portrait/avatar being infinitely more aesthetically pleasing is the main reason I play scion-only.

Oh, I guess her flexibility in being able to run virtually any build (with minor tweaking/slightly less efficiency) is attractive, too.


On a serious note however, I think she's in a better place now, and GGG has to take great care in any additional buffs. Some of her starter nodes did get buffed in the last patch, and she has always been supposed to be a niche character. Jack of all trades, master of none, and all that.

They need to rebuff Scion a little.

Your "solution 2" is how the skill tree used to look, and they specifically changed it to what it is now. They are unlikely to revert it.

Getting down to the numbers, here is my proposal:
Life node from 10 to 12-14.
Spell damage outer nodes from 6% to 8%.
Movement speed nodes from 2% to 3%, add accuracy%.
Elemental Resistances from 18% to 12%-15%.
Melee damage from 6% to 8%.

Everything else can stay the same.

I have my own idea how they can change the 3 large defense circles, which removes one node from each bottom side and combines the stats. So instead of 7 points to go through the bottom, it would take 5.

I agree to swapping the spell damage and cast speed nodes around, its currently dumb to go through cast speed to get a spell damage notable and vice versa.
