[3.5] Void battery Shimmeron Storm brand Scion. All content viable .







(Chimera was not uploaded, see the clip in Video section).

About build and mechanics
Ability:
Creates a magical brand which can attach to a nearby enemy. It periodically activates while attached, firing beams which deal damage to nearby enemies and those around them. The brand will detach if the enemy dies.
Using keystone"Runebinder" u can have up to two brands on 1 target,which literally doubles your damage and activates 50% more damage to Branded enemies(having only 1 brand will not trigger it).

Scion can have up to 5 brands at a time(if you got all necessary keystones for that).

Also this build is using two unique wands that are based on power charges, keep it in mind and always have power charges.

Pros and cons

+ Insane damage, even if u don't put too much currency
+ Comfortable and pleasant ability,that chains and deals aoe damage.
+ Good clearspeed.

- Has mediocre hp pool(around 5-6k+ hp).
- No defence mechanics(Dodge,evasion,phys. reduction,freeze,chill,curses,only leech).
- Endgame version of this build is very expensive.

- Common Diamond flask that greatly boosts your critical strike chance.
- Common Sulphur flask that gives you 40% increased damage and makes consecrated ground,that gives you 6% life regen.


About Gameplay style,and few more mechanics and also tips and tricks.

Your gameplay is to create Storm brands and spam brand recall to reclaim brands.Recall also triggers arcane surge for more spell damage and cast speed.Try to not get close to the enemy and try to use walls and map covers. Before the boss fight use Jaws of Agony unique shield in the off-hand with fire trap and cluster trap supports.That helps you to generate power charges

Also don't forget to replace increased area of effect with concentrated effect and use vaal righteous fire.
On boss fight place two storm brands and use flame dash and brand recall for triggering arcane surge and escaping .
Don't forget that your uncapped lightning resist must be the highest. But if you even more rich guy, you can obtain triple wrath watcher's eye with lightning pen,lightning damage and critical strike chance.If you have that,you can replace Wise oak with Atziri's Promise,that gives you even more extra chaos damage and chaos resistance:




If you have questions or you have ideas how to upgrade the build,you can write it in my twitch chat.

UPD.
Started using War banner gem for Adrenaline buff(100% increased damage,25% cast speed for 2.5 sec).For 10% reservation we have insane dps buff,but for that you need to kill 50 mobs


Also crafted these gloves with Prime Resonator(pristine,hollow,prismatic,sanctified)

looks good gonna try this. nice work
Wow extreme amounts of LEGIT! I might have to try this... I MFed for the first month and have been a bit bored with Tec Strike even though I thought I would really like it so I may try this out!

It is between this and a PP Occultist trying to decide :)
Amazing build. Killed uber elder twice now with it. Super squishy though!
can u run reflect map?
why do u use raider instead of, say, slayer for overleech?
32% cast speed and 12% more damage on boss(when frenzy charges up) . That's why I took it instead of slayer

no, you can't. But you can take elementalist instead of raider and do elemental reflect maps.
Thank you for your nice build
Btw How about survivability?
Can we survive against uber elder or syndicate with only Leech?

Uber elder fight in video section.
Syndicate can't do anything with this big dps. Just try to avoid their attacks
