Hi, at some post (i forgot where exactly) you mentioned that you testing Scion build wich more cool than witch and templar. Was it not so cool as you expected and i can start witch or what?

With the new version, if you start with a scion, you will have 1 "wasted" point at the begining (1 8% node) comparing to witch/templar but it will perfectly works :)

Cant see Scion tree version. :)

And without 6L Shavronne's this build will suck? Can i use some 5L ES chests?

ok, i will do a Scion version :o

Currently, i'm playing with 4L in Domination, it rocks. But i don't have shav' so i can't play maps because of chaos :(

I dont afraid chaos so much. Im just tired of NODROP with good DPS builds wich cant afford IIR more than 30-50% and its fukin annoyng. Want to create build fo pure fast farm orbs and stuff.

Scion build added in first post.

Hi, what is the major difference between your old build and the new one? I noticed that in the passive tree u no longer have the area effect and dmg node north of the witch tree and besides that ur also running prism guardian. I have been using ur old build and im now at nearly 5k dps using prism guardian with lvl 17 shockwave

The new build will have the same DPS as the old one but without Daresso's Courage.
That's mean, the old one without Daresso will have less DPS (not so much).
I can have 5861 DPS with Concentred Effect and my Shockwave totem is lvl 19.
But i have only a 4L at this time in Domination so, i have 3510 DPS.

Or maybe i'm wrong and you will have more DPS because, i suppose you have Haste AND Cast speed nodes ? I have 2.76 attack speed at this time with lvl 19 noQ Faster Casting.

Or you will have the same DPS than me because you don't wear Daresso.

But i have noticed that 2.85 cast speed is enough to protect you.

More Auras. I suppose you have 4 or 5 auras auras with Prism with the old build.
With the new one, i have 7 auras with the same setup.

More effect from Auras (91%) (all my gems are lvl 19):
Purity: 51% res all
Vitality: 3.05%
Discipline: 607
Grace: 3564
Haste: 30.56 attack speed / 17% run speed
Hatred: 66.85%

More easy to personalize with rings.
MF ? Andvarius and take more res nodes
DPS ? Le up of All
Mana ? Perandus ring

Finally, i have the same DPS than you but i have clearly more defenses and more run speed

My current lvl 82:

v4.1 is up.

CI version is now available !

CI version passive tree updated:
More Mana, More ES, More cast speed, 1 node free.

I can cast 5 auras and totems but it's a little just at this time to spam totems.

There hasn't been a lot of activity in this forum for a while, so I thought I'd tell you how I've been doing with this build - now at level 88 - and comment a little bit about it.

Here is my current gear:

I'm not running with either freeze/chill or stun protection. Flasks are enough for the occasional chill and I rarely get hit enough to worry about stuns. I can run with Added Fire and Concentrated Effect in place of Item Quantity and Item Rarity, but generally I don't find that I need to do so. With Aura's running, my Shockwave Totem tooltip DPS is 3.7K with IR/IQ and 7.7K with AF/CE. Bear Trap is 7.9K. I've got 4K Energy Shield and 37 life. All my gems are now level 20 and many are Q20 as well.

This build does work. I've done every level map from 66 to 78. I die rarely and when I do, it is usually because I did something foolish or used the wrong flask.

My flasks:


Shockwave Totems are extremely effective defense against melee enemies. In fact, I can't remember the last time I died from one. The only really negative thing I can say about running this build, if you can afford it, is that it isn't ideal for culling. While the Shockwave Totems pulse pretty quickly, they don't at all compare to Incinerate in pulse frequency and so it is easy for people with very high attack rates to get in a killing blow even when two totems are pulsing away on an enemy. This obviously isn't a problem when soloing, and as compared to some party friendly Aura/Culling characters, I solo just fine.

TL;DR: Build works solo or teamed all the way up to the highest level maps. The build isn't the best culling build since Shockwave Totems don't pulse attacks quickly enough to cull when paired with extremely high dps team members on non-Boss enemies.
