[1.0.4]Scion - Incinerate Tank - Mind over Matter, EB, almost Max Block | Facetank a lot of stuff

Currently doing this on hardcore, not on nemesis though.

Current gear:

Not much to say about early levels, pretty damn easy if you can get the claw at 37, also the shield i have used since lvl 8 and it's working pretty good with the claw for leveling. Planning to get the shield OP has later on.

I wanted to write an update here because i just started using lightning coil, and im about to specc alot of block nodes the next few levels. To get past Vaal i had to specc into IR and use grace, becuase the physical mitigation is so low without lightning coil. After this i stayed in City of Sarn to farm the points required to get Sovereignty and the other mana reservation talents. I did this because i could not affort to use discipline, clarity, tempest shield AND Purity of Lightning, which you really need for lightning coil, at least if you are switching as early as me.

Problems i had leveling through 1-63 was mostly physical damage related, but after the switch to Lightning Coil i feel much more confident and safer while going through merci act 3.

My HP has not been a problem so far, and im sitting on around 2500 hp if i remember correctly. It's fine as long as you know what to avoid. The problem however, can come at a later stage, since the build is not picking up any more life nodes later on.

Passive tree so far: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgAAAecFLQhnFvMXLxg8GlUc3B0UHpQhYCHDKPotqC-dNZI26ECgRZ1GcUrIVcZV1lfhWK9aUmBLYSFko2Tnbqp07XTxeA16qnrvfll_xoCkgh6Cx4MJhO-FMojxj0aQ1pMnkzqa4Jtdnrmfy6KjpwiomqlurD-sWbGQtAy18rfWuJO9J8Hzz2XQ0NsL21ncV-vu8Xbyl_ll-ej60g==

I'll probably post more when i start mapping later this weekend. Cheers for the build!

Cloak of Defiance and MoM do not stack. I believe the Cloak overrides MoM even.

Anything official on this? Haven't found any comments or anything.

They don't stack. It explicitly states so on the wiki which is usually pretty accurate with this type of information. CoD gives you 40%, MoM gives you 30%, no stacking.

Here is the gettup I use.


Experimenting with Warlord's Mark while I'm looking for a Molten Armor, it failed. Makes for a very little impact. Unsure about the level I should make CWDT before stopping.
Detonate Dead however is proving to be a keeper, it seems pretty strong. Besides, exploding corpses when things strike you is premium fun.

Actually I feel the whole Enduring Cry package is totally unnecessary seeing how hard it is to really take any damage. In the really tough situations it may not even be entirely online. Can't really think of anything else to put there, maybe a culling with increased rarity. Thinking about curses, too: Mobs with fire resistance seems to die slowly.
Really looking for that special thing to use a 4-link on, nothing seems to fit.

If I get better gear, and maybe switch some gems around it would be possible to drop the Mana Leach gem from Incinerate, would be sweet to link it more offence oriented. Some people are using Tempest Shield to generate mana, that seems like a clever idea.

If my gear appears mismatched it's because it's thrown together to almost cap the elemental resistances. The 6-linked Lightning Coil makes it look like I have a lot of currency, but I just lucked out while leveling my first character. Used 3 Chaos worth of orbs to craft it. Now I regret using a sub-optimal base item.
I also really should have invested in some quality gems, even an Arctic Armor for some speed would have been good. But, it's kind of hard to get quality spell gems if you don't have them from the beginning.

Actually I somehow completely misread that post and thought it was claiming that the MoM on CodD itself and 10% on the CoD itself don't stack, sorry! That would be quite silly for obvious reasons.

Another noob question:
How do you max block and spellblock? I don't see enough block nodes.. Counted max 66% with Anvil and 30% shield...
And spellblock is only 60% it.

What am I missing?

Passives gives you +34% block
anvil +10
tempest shield +4
total: +48
with 30%block shield (rathpith) you'll have 78%

spell block:
passive +12
rathpith up to 60
rainbowstride up to 25
total: 72 to 97, multiplyed with 78: 56-75


Ihave a question about auras

is alpha howl fits this build? main problem is socket colors... bbbr on pure eva helm - not sure if it even worth trying

How good would Ondar's Flight boots would be with this build?

Also my build thus far :)

hi love the build currently making a new char to follow this but umm one question what level should the auras be coz I made a mistake on my other one I let it level until 70 lol should i level all of the skill gems except for the Cast when damage taken, Molten shell, Enduring Cry, Lightning warp and or Decoy Totem?? also what would you suggest as a starting gear or what stats should I aim for before I buy those higher level equipments?? so yea please do tell thank you and have a good day :)

Hi,
I'm playing on Nemesis League and using this build for 2 days.
Currently I'm level 46 on Cruel.It's very easy to level but the problem is with hp and physical dmg monsters, they hit a lot.For now I have 1,1k hp,75% all ress,40% block chance and 20% spellblock.

Gear:

Build:

Any thoughts on what should I change?

Incinerate is a spell so the mana leech and life leech on the wurms belt don't work.

I have lvled 2 incinerators my first i emphasized too much on block early on and ran around with 1000ish hp so i ended up death my second build runs with 1700 hp 60% block and max res all in merciless at lvl 60.

Oh a lvl 1 blind works wonders with incinerate it's almost 100% guaranteed to blind monsters/bosses with it.

and yeah i forgot i play nemesis.
