[3.5] Flicker/Molten Strike Scion

Intro
Spoiler

This build was by Path of Building then modified by me, it is a really fun build and wanted to share my tweaks.

My main changes are the use of weapon swap for molten strike, this build can be a molten strike without flicker if you wish to, if so add ancestral call to the molten strike for mapping.

The POB is the ideal gear you want, the gear on myself is super budget as I am still leveling with the build. I will try to keep this forum updated.
