Scion - The Counterplay Scion - ANY WEAPON Spectral Throw - Forum

I'm now lvl65 and the finished build has changed quite a bit, i've modified the build and playstyle so that I can run maps, from 62-65 i've been soloing handfulls of 68-69 maps for expz here is what i'm running right now Spoiler http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgAAAdEDlgXTGYoZohqPHaoeGiP2JpUppSpbLYMxnjIJNZI7KEZxSn1KyEwyTeNOKlM1VUtW-lpIWlJbr2BDZ6BodGqTbEZtbG17bj1uqm-ecmx9dYMJh3aI8Yw2lKCXBptdm7WhIqJApleomqlur-u1SLXytkG748M6xKLKStIZ037W0dhN2mLdDeGI5AjuDu967_Dyl_T49tr56PsJ_MX-j_66_5M= Spoiler and new revised finished build Spoiler http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgAAAdEDlgUtBdMXHRjbGYoZohqPHaoeGiFgI_YmlSmlKlstgzGeMgk1kjsoQKBGcUp9SshMMk3jTipTNVVLVvpaSFpSW69gQ2BLZ6BodGqTbEZtbG17bj1uqm-ecmx07XTxeu99dYMJh3aI8Yw2jX6UoJcGmy2bXZu1nrmhIqJApleomqlur-u1SLXytkG3trvjvqfAD8M6xKLKSs2Y0hnSTdN-1e3W0dhN2mLdDeGI5AjuDu967_Dyl_T49tr56PsJ_MX-j_66_5M= 1-51 Spoiler This build runs Spectral Throw and Heavy Strike. I run 2 auras, 3 as soon as I my reduced mana gem allows for it. The reason I'm loving this build is it requires no specific weapon, you can DW/1h+Shield/2h/Bow/whatever you wanna use The only way you can die with this build are things that have no counterplay to them: -Arc & Flicker Strike Spoiler My links Spoiler Heavy Strike + Endurance Charge on Melee Stun IS A MUST, I swap out multistrike for life leech for harder areas Spectral Throw + LMP + Life Leech + Mana Leech is a must, Add WED on 5L and fast attacks on 6L Skill Links Rest of current gear So far I'm level 51 and winging the build as I go, I found avoiding most of the defensive nodes (health/armor/ev/etc) was vital in keeping up the leveling pace and picking up the movement and damage nodes was keeping me extremely tanky through the damage output (being able to kill entire screens without having to be near them) + having life leech rate capped.

Explain to me three things: 1. How does ST require a lot of microing apart from Switching to HS once every so often? 2. How do you expect to stay alive in merciless/Maps with that low life? 3. Why did you plan out a 120tree? I mean. Dont you pick up bandits? and, why is your end-build focussed on 100 instead of 90? lvl 100 takes way longer than a month of Hardcore nolife playing, so its pretty unrealistic to plan your end-build for that lvl.

It's playing with no life or resists that require microing my friend. 2. Staying out of the fire. 3.

The tree is utter crap, you waste over half your points to get the small starting nodes of like 4 different classes instead of going for the big ones. ST gains little to no benefits from dual wielding, no point in doing so. Your links are wrong, ST without LMP? also you have a weapon elemental damage gem while having almost 0 elemental damage. Life gain on hit gem could possibly be better than life leech. Your life pool is very little and i doubt you have your resists capped, you claim you stay out of the fire by kiting and shit but thats pretty much how every ST builds works untill you find a decent weapon that lets you 1 hit everything.
