Scion needs some help at lvl 72

Hey. I created a Scion when the game was released, after playing quite alot in the beta. Decided not to make a specc beforehand, and just winged it.

I have reached end-game maps and i'm doing allright, but i lack some dps. This seems mainly because i have Mind over Matter and require a mana leech gem instead of more damage, but i also gotta take some mana points in order to survive.


I'm at around 2100 hp and 400something mana (with Anger activated), and 40% damage reduction. My spectral throw is at 1400 dps, wich seems a bit low to me. Running with 1hander and shield.

My specc:

My gear:


I'm running Spectral Throw with lmp, mana leech, weapon elemental damage and added chaos damage.

What i'm wondering is, should i get some more mana regen and max mana nodes, going to Shaper, or should i just find some more damage nodes? Or should i drop Mind over Matter completely and focus more on damage?

bump :(
probably a gear issue man. It would help to post that, as people can see all your links and where you're trying to head.

Is because you built and geared super tanky, resist nodes and life and mana and maybe 4 dps nodes total - your even using a 1h with shield for spectral throw.

chances are your resist are well over cap and those points are wasted. - idk much abt spec throw - but I would bet a 2 hander would do way more damage with it.
I might have taken some life and resist nodes yes, but without it im helpless. I'm currently at 40% phys dmage reduction, and 75 lightning, 71 cold and 19 fire resistance.

This hardly seems super-tanky, and i die pretty fast if i dont kill the mobs. I kinda like the safety of the 1hander and shield. A friend of mine is runing kind of the same setup, but he's not going Mind over Matter, thus not having mana leech as a gem. With a 6-linked he's at almost 3k dps and over 50% evade chance.

Question is should i now focus on getting alot of mana and continue with MoM, get alot of mana-regen and dropping MoM or just find more dps nodes as it is?
