Molten Strike Scion

Running both anger and hatred is a viable option with mind drinker and clarity I don't run out of mana.

The tooltip of molten strike isn't helpful at all as it only shows the damage of the melee component and completly ignores the projectiles.
I would not use melee physical damage instead of weapon elemental damage gem because the former only gets applied to the initial melee hit and NOT to the projectiles. (see the wiki entry for molten strike and lightning strike for the machanics)*. That's also the reason i would spec out of the melee physical damage node and the three resistance nodes at the scion start and take the evasion nodes to connect the tree paths.
Hatred sure gives a nice dps boost but you really might consider running grace instead for a more defensive setup when facing tougher mobs.

Edit: * "physical damage with one handed melee waepons" nodes in the tree do apply though

Thank you for the suggestion about the evasion node pathing. I actually meant to re-spec that way when it was mentioned previously but forgot. Will rectify today.

Added a new video of me soloing level 77 shipyard map.
Also added more content to make the guide a little more comprehensive.
