2.3 Fakener (budget fake Mjölner) build - Trickster Version

How important are the purities? Do we need the +max res? I'm worried about dying to reflect.

Stats:
ES: 7686
DPS: 70.4K (with increased AOE). 86K dps with crit mult gem.
Ascendant, Assassin/Berserker
Charges: 7/5

Gear

Can I drop the purity I use? If so, I can either get more ES or more dps (which is probably not necessary). I'd like to do T13-15 maps and Uber.

Edit: Upgraded some jewels for more spell power.

This was discussed right above your post^^

I recommend on your case (as you have a +1 belt) to take the 7/5.

Having 6/6 might result in lower dps as you can not surely sustaint the 6endurances. Having more powercharges ensures a "overflow" of endurances charges

I don't really understand this overflow you are talking bout. If I have 6 power charges and discharge I will have 6 endurance charges for the next one. Than the process just repeats itself. I must be missing something.

I'm confused. The trickster tree doesn't have CI?

edit: I'm also a bit confused how some of the ES based versions deal with stun/freeze. I was under the impression as CI you always had either cannot be stunned or some other form of stun mitigation.

Can I do this build with a 4 link?

I'm thinking of respeccing a scion into this build, but before I invest any currency, I've got a few questions as I'm still pretty new to the game.

Mathil recommends the scion beserker/assassin class. As there are two options, would it be better to go for the hybrid life/es or life base option (or what are the advantages/disadvantages between the two)? I also saw the he mentioned that most of the "good" fakener builds use CI, but neither of the scion builds spec into it. Is there a significant disadvantage to this?

My other question is if I were to spec into a scion variation of this build, would any of the gear change? Does anyone have a well-geared scion that I could take a look at?

Finally, just out of curiosity, does the build struggle with any mods in particular, or are there any that it can't run?

Thanks in advance!

On a side note, I noticed that the tricker skill tree does not spec into CI for some reason. Is the tree out of date or is it just a mistake?

Is this doable as Low Life?

I used the search feature and I was able to find lots of useful information. I wasn't able to find an updated gear and passive tree for the ci scion build. It's definitely possible that I missed it.

Would anyone be able post it or refer me to where I can find it?

Thanks

EDIT: I've found the leveling breakdown that alvuimil posted several pages back. Is that tree the most up-to-date tree for the CI scion variation? Also, as far as gear recommendations go, would anything change for the scion or is it best to go with OP's gear for the trickster CI.
