I am really enjoying this build so far - currently at a mere lvl 37!

A friend lent me a Tabula Rasa to wear whilst I level, and I don't know if this is normal but I am experiencing some mana issues and having to use flasks a lot. Is this normal and will it improve as I gain in levels? I'm running Clarity and Herald of Thunder.

Also, would you consider the build to be end-game viable, as in taking down the toughest content?

Thanks again!

You say "Block/Spellblock: 62/74".
With 30% shield + 28% tree + 4% TS = 62%, but I don't see how you get 74% for spells!
You only have 55% Shield + 50% Amulet + 10% tree = 115%, so 62% * 1.15 = 71.3% rounded to 71% instead of your 74%.
Did I miss anything or you messed up your math?

I'd really like to make this build work as a Scion instead of witch. Trying to figure out how to keep the same deeps and all using scion instead. Anyone have a tree that would essintially be the same as a Scion?

Thanks for any help.

But why scion? What benefits does scion offer in the starting area that witch or shadow wouldn't do better? You would have to completely change the passive tree if that's what you want.
