Patch 1.2 Blood Magic Dual Flame Totem Magic Find Scion
" Hello and thanks for the response! You could be correct on entering the duelist area being a bad idea because my main reason for going in there was for the life regen (same thing with the arsonist node, I thought why not get fire damage and regen together). I put in the "Why Blood Magic" spoiler about the mana cost reduction for the skills and that the build might change once I saw how much lower it was. If it is as cheap as you say then I would definitely change going to the duelist area in favor of more damage. I would give the same answer for why I chose scion over marauder. My original build for this was marauder but I ducked into the scion start anyway for life regen and because of that it made scion a couple points more efficient. However if that regen is found to not be necessary the marauder would probably win out. I could definitely pick up more life and damage if I get away from those regen nodes. To answer your final question yes I still think fire penetration is worth it. With how penetration works in the game it is just too good not to have on any elemental skill. Thanks for your response and I will definitely look more into dropping some of the life regen. :) | |
" You are very correct about not needing as much dex because of Perandus, I can't believe I overlooked that. So yes I could definitely save about 3 points for that so thanks! As for the other builds you posted I will be looking into making it more damage oriented and dropping some of the life regen due to how much cheaper it will be once linked because of the mana cost reduction being applied to all skills in 1.2 Thanks for taking the time to ask questions and post info! :) Last edited by yariosho on Aug 17, 2014, 11:50:57 AM

I wonder why no one mentioned witch already,since she has a good connection to crit notes. It takes a long time to take BM (~50), but that is not a big deal if I level with SB. They reduce the mana costs from 66 to 51 & gmp to 150%, so a lvl 20 6l totem will cost around 150 mana & 300 for both(yaaayy)-> I dont think much life reg is needed,just use flasks and its done. Another good thing is: since the new tree provides so much more crit chance, u dont have to worry about crit on gear &you can easily put your MF gear on. I dont See a reason to start as a marauder anyway without +max res.
With my tree i get 150k shotgun DPS on paper (without curse,power charges and shock from three dragon mask). Well for me .. Im gonna turn out this damn auto correction :{ Last edited by Nemzirot22 on Aug 17, 2014, 9:05:07 PM

" This is the build I'm going for in the new league. It feels like a good balance between life and DPS. BTW, there's two life nodes to the left of Warrior's Blood that are slightly better than the ones in the Scion wheel. Last edited by Vinter144 on Aug 19, 2014, 7:50:13 AM

I've changed up your build a tiny bit. At templar start there was a 5% life node, I've swapped that out with a 5% life, 6% armour node at marauder start.
Other than that your shit is really solid, dude. You say that Wheel of the Stormsail Rotted Round Shield can be on your secondary weapon slot. Do you mean to say that the IIR still takes effect then? Also what kind of gear are you using? Wand and spirit shield?? Prioritise spell damage? | |
Can this build be used for dom solo farming? Or is it better to party up with DPS dealers and be the culler?

Hey,I wonder how you level this build. I mean with which skill. You don't get Searing Bond as a Scion if they don't change it and you can't really level with flameblast while being a BM character. And is there no way to get the "Heart of Flame" and "Breath of Flames" node at the top? Or aren't they not needed for that? Would like to get an answer before the patch comes out and especially on the leveling part. Other than that the Build is really solid. Great work.

" Hey man thanks for the response. The increased item rarity does not work in your offhand. I have 2 flame totem links because one is for damage and the other is for culling. When you get ready to use the culling flame totem swap over to the weapon set with the shield for the extra rarity. Also yes I will be prioritizing spell damage so using wand and spirit shield. Thanks for the response and I appreciate the feedback. :) | |
" I am feeling very confident that once I get good enough gear from farming piety and get a good amount of damage nodes I will be able to solo dominus. Thanks for the question. :) Last edited by yariosho on Aug 19, 2014, 4:25:07 PM
