Lv96 Poutsos' Flicker Nuke - Outdated

Yeah, it actually should be interesting to see how it ends up post patch, I think they will rework the tree to do something about the middle, Otherwise you're going to neuter almost every shadow build because most of them rely more heavily on the middle than other classes, we will just have to see. I know I was going to try to build a viable whirling blades build if I could with a fallback to a spectral throw build if it does not prove viable, I probably will just power up a cleaver to unlock the scion in the new leagues, or hopefully you can unlock the scion in default for the leagues which would make it a 10 minute max unlock.

So what? After relase, what exactly happens to our characters? And to the tree/passive points?
Uninformed here. And it looks like it's going to mess up the build, or worsen it. :(

Chris has confirmed that you need to play a Scion to go through the middle of the skill tree.

Will builds that previously went through the centre of the passive skill tree be forced to play Scions now, or is there an accessible way past the middle point?

If there is not way past the middle for the other classes, do you think there will be a lot of people that play the Scion class compared to all the other classes since they are the only ones capable of going through the middle?

They either need to play Scions or to go around the long way. In order to not have this create millions of Scions, we're moving some passives around so that they're not necessarily on the wrong sides of the tree from each other.

Nice guide- thx for this

Thanks alot mate!

I'm pumped to see if they move vaal pact away from the middle. That would be fantasmic. If not, I wouldn't mind playing the scion in the new league, I've got a dozen shadows now anyway haha

Yeah, I will probably play a scion just because I like the backstory on her anyways and wanted to do a throwing build anyways with a fall back to a CI cyclone facebreaker build which is perfect for scion anyways.

Hey Poutsos, great guide. Just wondering whether you can post your updated gears as I'm curious how you manage to max your resists, and also what's your MF with that gears? Thanks!

Hey man,thanks!.This character has been put to ice for the time being since i am leveling my new crit dagger templar.He is now level 85.I have not really upgraded my gear for him.The resistances with purity are 72 cold 73 fire and 77 lightning.I overcap them with the costand use of endurances charges.For elemental weakness maps,i change death rush to this ring to still keep them high.Not much MF.To have MF i weat dedicated MF gear(not really great),not optimised for the build,but fortunately,the DPS is high enough to manage.However after i got these to drop with almost 0 mf , (kaoms in luaris,the other on a temple map-currently trying to roll it) i decided that RNG is way to chaotic to rely on MF and stopped using it altogether.
