Could you write something about the gear that I should aim at? Like which stats to look for on weapon and so on

First up, excellent build! Even in my early 60´s the scion is super tanky with 5L BM+LL+Grace and a decent weapon, merc has never been so unchallenging *g

Im wondering if/how much the new 250ms CD on Cast on Damage taken is affecting us. While tanking big groups of monsters I had quite some triggers one by one. Does it mean, when you have 4 abilities linked to the gem, you have a combined delay of 1 second(250ms for each)?

The 250 ms delay means the gem can only trigger 4 times per second. You probably won't even notice.

Pls, link your currently gear.
Wanna see the stats. And thx the build!

im a total noob in this game i was just wondering what type of gear should i get for this build Strength or DEX??

The main stat what you need is STR. But you need some dex too. Im lvl 69, and i have 300+ STR, and 150+ dex.

im having SERIOUS dexterity issues, im only level 25 now but i cant level my gems because i havent got the dex.

anyone got any good clues on what to suggest?

Get some nodes with dex, there's one that gives you 30 dex on your way to iron grip. You can respec out of it later if need be. Or you can also get some +dex gear i guess.
Im kinda new though, but i think that works.

Also, is this build good for merc, or should i consider something else?
Dont really feel like reading all the thread, and in the OP i dont really see much about playing this on merc.

trying this build out today so far im liking it! thanks a lot!

I still cant decide between spectral throw scion or explosive arrow scion... Spectral looks better and more tanky!


My scion is lvl 15 and i allocated some points in the wrong way (about 3-4) will i get more then 2 refund points?


oh and: 1 - 20: go down from Scion start and then up through the life nodes to the left and head straight to Resolute Technique. You can also just go straight through the left side of Scion start and grab the mana nodes -> RT, and then spec out of that later.


didnt understand what is the mana node...

This is how I ended up beating merc:



The gear isn´t yet 100% optimal for the build, borrowed some items from my Wander(amu and ring)

3.85k HP
capped resists
13.1k dps single-target (buffed, 11k unbuffed)
2.9k dps with spectral throw (buffed, 2.3k unbuffed)
11.5k armor (buffed, 8k unbuffed)

Deaths on merc: 1 (underestimated Dominus *gg)




At this state(Level 66), Im using 2 Auras(Hatred&Grace), wich leaves me at ~120 Mana because I only need Mana for Double Strike. Im using 3 Mana Flasks, so I´m never oom on bosses. When I drop low I just simply cast ST 2 times and I´m at full life.


I used BM+LL combined with ST, wich transforms you into a tank; since you hit even one enemy with spectral throw, you cant go down.


I aimed for high ev or armor(or both), hp, resists, high physical damage, maybe a little elemental damage (preferly fire) - thats it, merc was a big joke with this build. Youre simply rushing through...


This build has huge potential in merc, maps are also not a problem. Just rushing through lvl 68maps right now...
