Fiery Scion

Hi guys,

I've been playing a Fire using Scion and have come to a crossroads now on development so thought I'd ask for some advise. The main 3 offensive skills I've been using are single target fireball with elem proliferation, fire trap with multi trap and flame totem. Am lvl 58 in act2 merciless nemesis and its fun to play.

My build is Passive skill tree build

For most encounters I drop a totem and some traps then fireball until everything is nicely on fire (use flammability sometimes, but not needed generally)

I had the idea of using a searing touch unique staff when i made the character but I got a shock when I looked at their price so 1h dagger/wand and a shield is the what i'm using now. I've lost a few ES/CI characters so decided to rely on health and armour for this one - the red sockets being useful for some if the fire skills




So the way I see it, I can take the spell damage nodes from the Scion start, take Harrier then head up to Throatseeker/Doomcast with a skill tree like this Doomcast build which will take me to the high 70s. From there I can move down to spell power/assassination for some more crit


Another option is to go for the Charisma and Sovereignty clusters and then onto Body and Soul for some more armour/resists like this Charisma


I'd like to be able to solo maps when i get there as well as do decent damage in a group. Realistically I won't ever afford top end uniques and i don't play enough.

Any advice/suggestions gratefully received

Anyone?

?

Don't think the 5 point investment to Throatseeker tree is worth it when your Crit Chance isn't that high imo, which I'm gauging to be slightly less than 20%?
