Scion - [2.2 Video Guide] Tanky, High DPS, Crit Blade Vortex Build [HC/SC & Atziri Viable] - Forum

I have a question, is the scion still the best choice for crit-blade vortex build in 2.3 update? And are there any other good alternatives to the scion ascendancy class? Tears make streams. Fish live in streams. I like fish. /MonstaMunch Last edited by Powderoff#1246 on May 30, 2016, 5:28:03 PM	Posted by Powderoff#1246 on May 30, 2016, 11:27:02 AM Quote this Post

Probably isn't anymore, a big reason you went scion was for the leech. As for alternatives, I'm not sure either.	Posted by Unspec#4777 on Jun 1, 2016, 1:47:55 PM Quote this Post

I'm guessing assassin is viable (easy high crit. chance) and now we can try something with poison thanks to a strong effect of the changes nodes in assassin class. Another alternative is witch - occultist, but is more appropriate for es/life hybrid builds or es builds. This is what I found out in last few days. Tears make streams. Fish live in streams.

The build is great yet but I am tired to cast BV so often. For now I can't imagine how would I run Gorge ROTA at lest in the middle of the team if I need to stop to cast BV. Also is there any versions of build with DoT?> It would be great to run further without stopping on fat mobs :) I got in mind Mark of the Doubting Knight. Is it viable for such build? Seconded. So far, I've get myself accustomed to casting BV twice when in a mob, but that slows things down....	Posted by ZenEnott#0616 on Jun 2, 2016, 2:46:13 AM Quote this Post
Some changes in 2.3?	Posted by rau1duke#1352 on Jun 4, 2016, 2:32:30 AM Quote this Post
We lost the free life leech in Berzerker, but at 71 I still feel alright. With Warlord's Mark and my Doryani's Invitation I still have a good amount of life leech. I'm still holding my free respec but I certainly don't feel nerfed.	Posted by Rendakor#2789 on Jun 4, 2016, 8:43:30 AM Quote this Post
I want to give some input on how well Assassin crit. blade vortex is this patch (2.3). It lacks the awesome 1,5% leech that we had with Scion in 2.2, BUT I dont need to take any chance crit. nodes from tree (exept the ones 3 at beginning) cuz you get so much with ascendancy skills and power charges its crazy. My gear is far from perfect and my BV goes up to 86% crit chance with 7 powercharges. With divinarius I could get 90+ no doubt. So goot thing abaout assassin is a very very easy crit. chance scaling :). My 2 cents. Tears make streams. Fish live in streams. I like fish. /MonstaMunch	Posted by Powderoff#1246 on Jun 5, 2016, 4:25:23 PM Quote this Post
