Thx a lot for the fast reply ! i kinda went full retard and didn't see the agility node , that helped a lot ! . thank you , loving the build :)



Does life leech help with anything ? . Especially since i'm not really firing the arrows ?


Oh and also , basically elemental damage is the best for this build ?

And finally does elemental equilibrium help ? or it is not used because we don't fire any arrows ?


My pleasure, glad that you are enjoying the build.

Life leech doesn't really help you as you will be doing so little dmg when applying curse with split arrow. Your minions don't need leech as they only last 3 seconds, just make more :D

Ya, elemental damage scales the best for the clones as they get so much damage from the Wrath and Anger (supported by generosity + aura boosting passives). Supporting them with Weapon Elemental Damage gem is a very good choice.

Ya, elemental equilibrium helps a lot, but you need to make sure you only do cold damage to lower the enemies fire and lightning resist. This should be done when you are higher level, when you are finalizing your end gear.

Cheers and all the best :)

And for class the only reasonable choice is Saboteur now?

What's about physical clones with poison gem ? Still weaker
then ele clones?

Or maybe without traps at all only a few casted Minions but stronger (Cluster trap les dam)

Options are either Scion with Sabo + anything or Shadow's Sabo.

Physical clones via poison could work if you get a high physical damage bow and quiver I guess, never tested though.

There are previous builds with Mirror/Blink arrow done before this without traps/cluster traps and they do quite well.

I just prefer to have sheer numbers spamming arrows :D

It is up to you to try and feel what you like/suit you the best, cheers.

How much life do you have at merciless. I am around 2.200, at the begining of merciless and I believe that it is too low. I am considering of investing a little bit more to life, what nodes do you propose.

Also I am thinking of running a second curse. I am considering poacher's mark, elemental weakness or valnuernability. What do you propose.

Yes poison could be fine. Poison is stacking and with a lot of clones a lot is stacking. In this case I would use Temp chain and vulner, hatred.

But I'm thinking about the better ascendancy. Both choises have disadvantage. For Shadow Saboteur I would waste lot of points in Skilltree and I have to wait an enemy is triggering a trap. In the case of a group of ranged nobody is triggering. It's dangerous.

As Scion I don't like the short duration of 3 sec. I have to Cast without breathing. With increased duration I have no instant clones.

I've heard the Cluster trap will be nerved from less trap damage to less damage? That would be very bad for this build

I have around 4.5k life at level 90. Can go higher as I am using Aurseize gloves and rare helm with no life on it.

Get all the life nodes on your way from Scion to top of the Witch area down to Shadow. There is quite a few life nodes there to get you to around 150% life.

Elemental Weakness and Projectile Weakness are the best curses to up your clones damage as they do mostly elemental and physical damage and the projectile pierce + knockback is really helpful.

Hi,

Thank you for this build that give a lot of fun to play. It changes of spark & earthquack...
I play exclusively in HC on the new Leagues, and i must say that my first character in the next league will be based on the build you offer.
I kill my first caracter stupidly during labyrinth boss (lv47). So i start a new one and i love it!
Can u give us advice for player on HC? (tree way, items,...)
Do u know if trap will be changed in next league?

Thanks and glad you are enjoying the build. I never like meta/cookie cutter builds, always prefer to make weird builds or use unique items that people think are useless.

Same, I plan to go with this build again in Prophecy league. But I may choose another Ascendancy or class all together as I foresee heavy nerfing on Scion's Ascendant, and overall balance on the other classes which may make them more viable.

The tree already spots around 175% increased life, with enough life items, you can easily hit 5.5k to 6k life by level 80s. Another option is to drop one of the auras and run Arctic Armor (AA) for some physical damage mitigation or get a level 3/4 Enlighten to help run 2 auras and AA.

I suspect they will implement the supposed reduce damage from Cluster Traps to apply to minion. This will definitely cause a drop in DPS, but I think all it will do is reduce the clear speed slightly with no significant impact to the build overall.

Just waiting for the patch notes before I decide if Scion is still the go to class for this build.

Cheers :)

I already got a plan for Shadow Saboteur running this build, but waiting for patch notes and more details on ascedancy changes before deciding.

Thanks.
