Which side of the skill tree should I go down first, levels 1 - 20? I am doing Domination league with a friend right now... what about Dex requirements for the bows? Use an ammy?

Thanks!


You probably want to go left and fill out life nodes first, but as has been mentioned, the build doesn't really shine until 80+, so really the first 20 levels don't matter.
Honestly, I find builds like this a lot easier to level up as a separate skill set. Get a Tabula or 6L of your choice and do something like spectral throw with a 2 hander. That will easily carry you to mid 70's.


As far as dex, you'll get some from nodes, some from The Blood Dance, and the rest from jewelry or amulet. If you choose not to use Blood Dance, you can get them from boots as well. If memory serves, you should only need 20 dex beyond the template, which should be easy with an onyx or turquoise amulet.


Thanks, I am just getting back into the game and had to spend hours reading the forum to pick a build that had some viability end game before I launch down a path... going to try this one out. My friend is playing a marauder of indeterminate build right now. I am using a bit of both paths early on and might spec some early dex to remove later.

Thanks again.
Node progression:
I would take the points leading up the life node cluster to the south west of scion. You can start with life/life regen or the projectile nodes, which ever you prefer.

Then, I would take the ias starting nodes and loop around until i can get static blows and frenzy charges, then acrobatics, then make a beeline for ondars. Then take nearby life nodes near ranger then heart of the oak, then the aura nodes near ranger. Then the aura nodes near shadow. You can take additional life nodes as needed as well as conduit and aura radius but it shouldnt be a big deal.

Finally, progress to marauder area to get elemental adaptation then finally the last aura node cluster near templar.

You will be able to use auras starting at level 44 when you can equip bloodance and counter act blood magic gem's crippling life cost. Before that, try using mana regen items such as :


Leveling up:
While ST is the popular choice, if you have access or are willing to spend a few exalts on twink gear you can level amazingly fast with ele based split arrow and a tabula rasa. Ele damage at lower levels is far easier to scale than physical and ST will generally be mostly or completely physical.

Gear such as this will push you far over the power curve for any given level increment.

i dont understand those dps numbers for real, did a marauder version till 66 and gave up, LA was barely doing 600 dps, then i went to blastrophes shit build and got up to 2.5k dps , im guessing 3k once all gems are leveled and such , but still, how da fk do u get 10k on LA with bloodmagic gem in. Also id like to see ur level 100 tree. Ill link u my current items, im def doing something wrong because its freustrating to have gud gear and shit build...


My current tree is based on a ranger similar to blastrophes build, with the gem configuration as u can see it and no auras obv. I have marauder very similar to ur templtate that i could respec but i need to know how do u achieve that dps. ITs blowing my mind.

How in the world are u getting 40% crit chance, i barely have 26% with ALL the crit nodes from the ranger/shadow area, ure starting marauder, like HOW?

im guessing its a combination of bad gear choice and unoptimized tree which is funny coz i have like 70-80% dps nodes.

P.S. I love getting 1 shot by devourer packs with 7000 hp , its so fulfilling.

What do you think of something like this for a non-crit scion build? Appreciate how helpful you've been

please use the poe website link next time as its much easier on the eyes.

your tree is fine and is what i would do for a non crit build. i would ditch elementalist and pick up 2 projectile nodes since you are not int starved.

you should unspec out of 3*8% life nodes and take the nodes to discipline and trainning near templar (10% hp 30 hp)




Also, for those who are nearing completion of this build please feel free to post your gear, passives, life, and dps stats for LA/frenzy so others have a reference point besides mine.

Also go through the Ranger Frenzy nodes and spec out of the four nodes you use to get to Charisma. Saves a point and gets you a Frenzy charge.

Just looking at your gear, it doesn't really make sense for this build.

You're not using Alpha, so you're losing 2 levels on 3 support gems. You're using a headhunter, so you're losing 36% WED from your belt.
Your amulet is missing WED and Crit multi. The damage benefit from the Taiming won't really show up on your tooltip. Your quiver has 3/6 dps mods on it. Your lmp is only lvl 16, your gems aren't qualitied, etc... and you're only lvl 73?

Thanks... sadly I am using scrub gear since I have no high account, but the guide is very useful and I know what gear to work for.

Tree so far, going to finish finesse then go back to picking up life I guess. I have no aura's to run with yet, since I don't have the gems yet, so I am just picking dps, life regen, and the main passives. I will do the aura's later. Make sense? Or better options?

Also, why do you pick the Elemental Adaptation for 2% to maximum? I mean 2%, is it really worth it?

The reason you go that path is because you need very high str (191) in order to use koams heart. it is also actually more efficient than going to the north int nodes ( which are useless as you only need 151 for wrath). With the template, you will have 180/140/240 str/int/dex which is 11 points under what is needed for wrath and koams and easily filled using any onyx amulet.

Ele adapt is just a really really really nice perk.

It also allows you to take RT for non crit builds as well as the ele/life nodes near templar if you so choose.

You should level wrath and anger regardless. you can viably use auras at level 44 with bloodance but you can delay it as long as you want to.
