Also has anyone tried using coc dagger + soul taker ?

you can get rid of blood magic in your volls (i have a 5link) and replace it with increased aoe.

you lose saffels but how necessary is safells really?

I'm doing this on my witch since she had a respec. It works fine. I take acrobatics and phase acrobatics with grace for better defenses. I use haste for attack speed and move speed.

pros:
* You never have any problems sustaining. This gives you better survivability in boss fights since you don't need to rely on life flasks to cyclone.
* You can replace blood magic with another gem
* Dual wielding increases attack speed

cons:
* More expensive (requires Soul Taker)
* Dagger nodes not as efficient for increasing crit chance
* Soul Taker has 5% base crit
* No shield

I replaced Blood Magic with Increased Critical Strikes to offset the low crit chance on Soul Taker and to help Discharge crit more. Conc effect adds more damage on discharge and Increased AoE adds better clear speed but is less helpful versus single target. The damage is good enough that what you replace Blood Magic with is really personal preference. I think ICS helps survivability a little since I crit more (refill flasks faster and more consistent discharging for leech).

Why u have Lightning damage on your ring? U dont play with EE?

I find that EE is not necessary anymore as the build already does a lot of damage. Taking off EE also allows me to use herald of thunder and assassin's mark curse on hit. I put the points into more defence instead :)

im not getting enough procs on single targets, rest is super fine and fun to play, but bosses tend do last longer, can i change something to make it better ?

im at 46,

current gear

while using this current vagan dagger im sitting at ~47 crit chance before charges

thanks!

Is there something else to take rather than saffels?

i just feel like the little resistance it adds and spell block is too little.

would a spirit shield be better or perhaps a diff weapon that adds spell damage + crit chance or even a different shield with 40+ resists?

I'm rocking Rathpith Globe and it's working wonders so far.

I am running modified version of the build, and I find it really good at lvl 85 scion:
This is planned build close to lvl 100.



I am using Vagan dagger, 6L Volls with cyclone-coc-discharge-lleach-inc crit-inc multi
Runing this on mana with elreon jewels, and clarity on blood magic.
I swap maligaro gloves for aurseize, and multi gem for item rarity for easier content.

My Scion is eating everything on the path, even solo bosses are not a problem with surgeon pots. Auras are Grace and Purity of Lightning. Vaal grace is also helpfull.

Found this in Warbands and lets just say that this thing is AMAZING!



No need for eleron jewelry or stupid mana reduce nodes. Blood Magic Keystone 4.5k HP (still need gg upgrades). 73% crit w/o power charges.

Somewhat stupid question, but does my volls colours need to be in a certain order for them to function correctly?

I started testing out Fakener in Warbands since I got bored with how the mapping currently is. Leveled as flame totem + magma orb without really any nodes for it except the jewels and later on the shadow elemental damage nodes. Switched over to the real deal at 48 with the following gear:



Not having Voll's Devotion, Blood Rage and Blood Dance give a nice boost with curse on hit - Herald of ice - Warlord's mark giving some endurance charges. Works like charm so far at 54. Clearing A4 cruel on avarage 3 levels under the zone level np. Had a few rips thanks to playing sleepy but nothing major.

The life regen helps a lot at this point keeping up blood rage and the cyclone ( I think its 71 life cost atm). Will test out life leech + vaal pact later on when I get something like 6l Voll's.

I'm currently using Herald of Ice and Purity of fire and lightning. Will likely swap another purity for Vitality or something when I get one, and use it until late game.
