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

i rerolled a character cos i really liked the idea of this build



thats my version for it

i might spec out of a few life nodes to get the max block but im not already there yet (only lvl 80)


also i think im gonna use alphas howl and run grace and not the lightning coil armor but i'm currently leveling as a EK build since i dont have highlevel incinerate

Beware folks! Lightning Thorns will stop you dead in your tracks if you're not careful. My gear isn't good at all and currently I get instagibbed by 1-2 LT's. Just be prepared to maybe do some extra grinding by the time you get to the general in cruel.

^Yes.

I wanted to ask how you handle Light Thorns because I don't at the moment.

Does anyone tried this build in nemesis yet?
i am trying but with bad armor and physical reduction i run in all sorts of troubles like bleedingdamage etc etc
Sorta wondering if i could make this build work with huge armor and less block

Corrupted Blood and Lightning Thorns both wreck this build. Corrupted blood stacks on how many times you attack your target and based off your targets damage. - I've had to log out and reset zones solo vs Corrupted Blood, it's too much. Kinda crappy.

Corrupted Blood definitely sounds like something you want to avoid on Nemesis.

Lightning thorns isn't a problem for me but i have really good gear, I'm pretty sure what you need against lightning thorns is maxed lightning resist and a high enough leveled life leech to out leech the damage.

The only time i have trouble with Lightning thorns is in a map with ele weakness and/or - max resists and/or elemental reflect.

Thanks for sharing this build, actully rolling an incinerate tank and like to know if it's still viable with 70+ Maps ?

it seems to be great tank !

I don't have any 70+ maps yet but i have been doing a lot of 66 and 67 maps without any problems.

I suggest few improvements in area around Unwavering Stance and Troll Blood cluster:
1) any three 8% life nodes can be replaced with 10 str and two 12%life nodes near Unwavering stance
2) you can change route to str node with endurance charge - spend 2 more skillpoint but get 10 int and 30% armor

have you considered Dual wield with two paws and stacking block that way? There are several DW block nodes near MoM. The block from anvil applies to this as well.
