Carl’s Elemental Hit Scion Build

Hey Guys,

In this article the guys at Grinding Gears Games talked about their favorite Scion builds. There to about an Elemental Hit build that sounds very interesting, but I looked it up online, I can't find any build on this. Has anyone tried it? Is it good?

If anyone can find it please link the build so I can take a look.

I was hoping to figure out a build around that as well!

Currently working on trying to figure out the Discharge on that was listed as well. They're all excellent ideas.

Let me know what you come up with. I am trying to work out what he did, but I can't seem to figure it out.

A shame... I really wish someone had a good build for this that they could share

I'm currently running a dual elemental hit totem scion build in nemesis (currently lv69). Might not be exactly what you're looking for, but let me know if you want some details.

wasn't exactly what I am looking for... but I am very interested. Do you mind posting your build?

Here's my planned skill-tree; currently working for the shadow crit nodes and last two + charges. Easily accessible to more life if needed:


I help Oak/Krait/Alira in that order. Here is my gear with linked gems; I went with bow over wand just to try it out:


Since the character was starting from scratch I probably don't have the best gear, but it's serving me well so far. I will probably replace the lightning arrow totem with some cast on damage taken stuff, but I don't have the proper gems for it yet so that's just a placeholder.

Anyway, I run dual curse (typically crit and ele weakness) and conduit, so very useful in parties. The 5L is pretty important since that's how I proliferate burning damage, shock stacks, and freeze mobs to wave-clear. Can replace the LMP with faster attacks and ele prolif with crit strikes or crit damage for single target dps, but even with LMP, it takes care of yellow mobs fairly well. It's hard to say what my dps is with it since elemental hit doesn't update the tooltip.

That's an interesting build, I was hoping for something more tanky though.

Hi, I'm thinking about an elemental hit build to.
I can tell from experience you need a LOT of mana to make it work, it's really mana intensive
So scion and take the dual mana/life nodes seem mandentory.

Melee char will be either:

1) fast attacking (2+ attacks/sec weapon, dex based) 4L EH,WED,Multistrike,Melee splash
or
2) fastest dagger I can find with good crit chance and go shadow/crit route, but may not work due to number of passives needed.

EB seems like a must have. Any tips?

I'm trying to work my way to bow based EH with Equilibrium using LMP, Chain, Proliferate and Weapon Elemental Damage. The mana costs are insane! It's even more expensive than Power Siphon o_O

I went Blood Magic and I'm leveling with Lightning Arrow/Poison Arrow until I get all required gems to an appropriate level. Currently I'm lvl 53 and I plan to start using Elemental Hit around lvl 70.

I let you know how it works and post the tree when I'm still alive then^^
