Is this viable for Nemesis?

Anything I should change to add survivability?

Yes, it's viable at hardcore mode.

Life build is the better at survivability because you can use life flask and owned the more base armor. But CI build ignore chaos damage and owned the higher damage from infernal mantle.

What gear would you suggest in hardcore. Armor only or armor/es combination along with rathpith?
Would you consider Dream Fragment less important in a life build?
Would you replace Rainbowstride by Windscream or rare boots?
Would you suggest reaching for Unwavering Stance instead of going with Eye of Chalaya and go with say Stone of Lahzwar?

Thanks

Im playing on nemesis so I went with the scion/life version of the skill tree

I have a couple of questions:

-Should I still go for infernal mantle since it gives great fire dmg?

No. Infernal mantle indeed gave the better damage, but it's not worthy in life build. You should choose the armor chest with high life mod.

"

-What stats should I look for in end-game gear?

Defense: Armor / Life / resistance

Damage: 1.cast speed 2.increased fire damage 3.spell damage 4.increased radius of area skill

Cast speed go first. It also raise the defense in my opinion.

"

-Are there any uniques that would work well with the scion life build?

I'm obviously prioritizing survivability

Thanks

I didn't have any idea. Maybe everyone can provide some suggestions about what unique is pretty good in life build.

Pure armor gears with high life mod would work pretty good. If you want to try ar/es build, i thought EB+AA is also a good choice. I didn't have much experience of EB+AA build, so i couldn't offer much information.

EB: eldritch battery
AA: Arctic Armour

Dream Fragment isn't important when you are based on life.

If you want to put the additional curse on enemies, choose windscream. Or the rare boots will be the better in life build.

In CI build, Unwavering Stance is so far, so its not worthy. In life build, you should have owned much life to counter stun.

If you owned the more block chance from passives or gears, the rathpith globe / rainbowstride / stone of lahzwar is pretty good. But you will lose much armor and life, if you are based on life. In life build, i didn't suggest you use Stone of Lahzwar.

Tried running this build, absolutely love it. It feels amazing to me and I love fire. Just had to learn to check yellows first and watch for reflects. Thank you for posting.

Current Gear I'm running with this build. (Currently lv 70)

This looks like a lot of fun, and I'm thinking about trying this build in the One-Week Nemesis race (just for fun, not competitively). Since I might not be able to find Infernal Mantle, I came up with this variant of the build that grabs 100% crit chance with spells. It basically drops the Shield ES nodes for those crit nodes. I also grabbed the Templar 40% mana regen instead of the Scion one, since it seems like you'd have plenty of mana anyway, so you get a bit more AoE radius and damage.

I'm still fairly new to the game, so I wanted to see if anyone has thoughts about this? Mistakes?

Crit Variant

You don't need get the critical chance from passive tree or gears. This build owned 75%(5L) to 85%(6L) chance to ignite. And chance to ignite is rolled on "per-monster". You can refer to my test video in 6.2 of the another build.(http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/669129)

Enjoy this build in race! Happy New Year. :)

Great guide and thanks for sharing.

One thing I'm still not following is why you wouldn't take a crit path with Flamebast as the base crit is 6%(very high for a spell) in addition to that Infernal mantel gives an extra 100 crit chance.
Besides the dmg boost, using Elemental Proliferation with a high crit chance means you can replace the Chance to Ignite, your Cold Snap will also hit harder resulting in MUCH longer freezes and for shock no need to invest in static blows.

It's gonna be real pain to try get 4 off colors for CWDT links, right? RRRG

you can use 3L suggestion. :)

3R1B or 2R1G1B.

With the latest change to Freeze Mine I think it might be a better choice over Cold Snap. Maybe Freeze Mine + Added Cold Damage + AoE + Prolif?

Might have to get some gear with DEX to level it up but that 100% freeze chance is looking mighty fine, especially in a single target situation.
