Scion - only class worth playing next patch

I think Assassin and Necromancer still have pride of place.

scion actually seems balanced now. shes jack of all trades master of none. but she has more access to jewels.

People will flock to Scion and then get disappointed it isn't optimal for their build :P

Scion won't be BiS for any of those builds. What scion will be nice for is spending regrets and trying out new trees without having to re level, or for people who arent sure what to spec and want options until later on in the game.

The focused classes will still be best for those people who want to specialize in their strengths.

which is prolly what ggg wants , it is just a shame that it comes at the expense of a ton of high level scion characters that could until right now basically be focused and optimal.

Scion is just a shinny noob trap, only build I can see beeing better with it is a Poison Arrow build using Dead Eye and occultist for the -chaos res on curses.

Otherwise it's rubish and people will soon cry when the new op builds will be made.

pretty sure that reaching max block or max life regen/max hp is easiest with scion if you plan it out right.

Max block will be easiest with a Necromancer. Bone Offering.

Necromancer - Still has superior Offering Buffs
Hierophant - Can Summon 2 Totems and has 3 "5-Link" for his Gloves,Helm,Boots
Chieftain - Has the better Fire Damage and stll has better Totem Nodes
Trickster - Still has No Mana Cost Movements..

There's probably more...so I doubt Scion is still Best Class. She's just more Jack of all Trades now and thats how she's always been. Not as superfocused in the role as the default 6.
