The power of Scion is coming from her position at talent tree as being able to reach to all directions; and in my opinion if we will choose a Scion it is wise to use this power.
For instance, if we plan to play with 3 auras and if we will go only to Sovereignty node groups it will be much more wise to choose a Templar or Mara but not a Scion.

also to have a 66% increase the effect of ALL auras besides 2 more aura
This 66% increase of effect of Auras is the main power of 5 Auras build and if u ask me it balances more than enough the loss of some + HP

Tbh that's a very good point! :D

You make me feel like adjusting my builds based on yours. :P Ty mate. Now I feel like I should try running 5 auras.

Hope u enjoy it..

Atm I am developing another Scion build with:
- 3 auras
- Armor/Ev/ES mixed gears
-
-
-

She will have
- resists capped 77% w/out endurances
- high blocking both physical and spell attacks ( thats why the 3 special items r chosen )
- high armor value to decrease the coming damages if not blocked :)
- but not having so insane DPS as Steel Cannon build , though she will have quite good dps value (she is 68 lvl atm and reached 11k + dps)

Why do I develop this second Scion build ?..
Steel Cannon is really so powerfull but there is a special weakness: If u stop dpsing for a short time and u keep getting strong attacks = u r death ...
You cant have even for 2-3 seconds just to kiss your love when u r in fight :)
Thats u need full concentration..

In this coming new build I plan to survive for a quite long time ( unless a very peak demaging attacks from mobs ) even I dont attack to mobs to get life leech..

It is so fun atm , but the build is not mature yet.. let me die some more instead of you and make necessary adjustments to share it here ...

enjoy..

New Scion Build : COMING SOON

just watch 2 min short vid Piety vs 68 lvl SHARP..
On the way to Piety, I also added 2 short scenes to see how she resists to all attacks against lots of mobs.. She doesnt have even a scratch from those attacks which are deadly for most players..

and same result at Piety; staying standstill on Boss attacks when Piety is transformed.. with almost no scratch.. I will test the tanking ability against Dominus soon..

hope u enjoy..

New Build goes very well.. I soloed easily Dominus at the beginning of 70 lvl..
I will add that video soon..
Atm it seems more solid.. when she reaches 83-85 lvl and do some 75+ maps I will be rdy to open a build topic for it..

Dominus vs zBADE (SHARP) at 70 lvl.. testing the new build..

this 2nd build have the same Build Tree??

I had summarized the new build 4-5 posts before this one ( Posted by serlev
on November 26, 2013 11:09 AM ).. The build tree will not be same and will need 3 more uniques ( fortunately they r not so expensive )..

When did you start using Aura's?
I'm LvL 62 by now, and I'm not yet running with any aura's.

The problem i'm facing right now is:
-I'm running: LL,DS,MPD,Multistrike,Melee Splash. And i did pickup the Blood Magic in the tree.
But, if i remove the Blood Magic, i will go out of mana in a second.
And the question now is: How am i supposed to run aura's AND feed my skills with mana w/o Blood Magic? What can i do to prevent that before getting Soul Taker, how did you do it?

-I'm also looking for a second spell meanwhile leveling up, since most of the time my DS won't handle different kinds of ele-damage-ranged mobs, and i'm running with spectral throw. You've any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Before Soul Taker u can use very limited (1 or 2 ) auras at mana side and with BM gem Mana regen aura on Hp side at around 70 lvls if I am not wrong; pls note that Alpha's Howl is for 64 lvl which u will also need it for auras..
I cant suggest on detail how u will lvl since it depends which gear u have, your play style, gems available etc.. etc.. Since u have mana problem:
- u wont use any aura except mana regen aura with Blood Magic Gem
- have items with +mana and mana regen
till u r at least about 66-70 lvl and have Soul Taker + Alpha's Howl helmet

BM keystone is a special case and needs lots of Hp nodes taken which is not included in our build.. I dont suggest to get it..

Hi,

Tryong your build i have some question.

In the part "20-40", you go for these nodes:
- 4 increase strength nodes
- water dancing
- one handed damage +10%
- one handed attack speed: +3%

Why didn't you go for:
- increase intelligence
- increase strengh
- steel skin
- increase armor and life
- Dual wield speed (+6%)
- 2 nodes dual wield damage (or just one and take dual wirld block and dervish)

Does one handed nodes apply for dual wield too?
