I have been thinking about doing this build in the new league once it starts, but with Crit and perhaps even CI. Can you give any tips about this?

Why change to dual wands in standard?

Never said I will, or that it's a good idea. But it would boost the DPS while at the same time making mana almost unmanageable.

Sure, I can whip something up with EK + CI, later. I'll pm you one option. Honestly, though, if you're going all out crit, might as well go for CoC...

I'm in the process of making a CoC build here in domination, so I don't want the builds to feel too similar.

I definitely want to try a crit version of this, but whether or not it should be CI or Life I haven't decided on. CI would make it less like the one I have been playing for the last 1-2 months which I consider a plus as I don't think I would want to put this many hours into characters that are too much alike.

@CantripN

I'd be curious on your thoughts about this build when the new tree is released for Ambush.

I'm running a test build using ZiggyD's EK/MOM/EB/AA build to see if I wanna run it for next league, but I actually like the direction of your build better. More potential for DPS and I only play softcore so don't mind skimping out on some life.

We need to see the final changes for the Scion's tree, and Life wheel, before we can decide if this still works well. Might end up being a Witch or a Shadow, perhaps.

In general, this build works very well, and I honestly think that if you're not going for a Lightning Coil, you're better off getting a Cloak of Defiance over a "normal" 6L.

Ok, after seeing the new tree, it still works just fine :) Better than ever, in fact.

Just what i wanted to hear! ;D this is so happening tonight!

I'll be playing this as a Shadow for the new league, similar passive layout with less spent around the Scion starting area.

Here's a rough (120 point) idea: http://tinyurl.com/m2ucgrf

I am borderline retarded when it comes to making/tweaking builds, so does anyone have a link to a PoEBuilder build for this on the new notes up to like, say 30-40 and then 50-60? I wanna get EK Scion going with 1.1, but I don't wanna fuck it up immediately and have to start over. For the new Ambush league, not doing hardcore.

Looks good, and I'd even consider going for the Shadow's crit nodes if you're going to be one. Should work rather well on EK, from my experience.

Hi, I love you.
Been looking all around for someone who got a build which can actually work, and with my favourite class as well!

I'm gonna hop on the Ambush-league with a friend as soon as I can. This will be my first time in a new league. Do you have any tips on the tree and on items to look for, use etc? I'm still quite noobish and helpless when it comes to testing new builds D:
