Glad to see there is a guide to EK.

I am also doing EK but I fear I may have gone the wrong direction. Could I make this build work or should I just re roll and try again closer to your tree? I was trying to go for as much life and dmg as i could.

I think you can just refound these points since you have many life node from 'Constitution' circle, and get more mana regen, and then go west.

Phew thanks man! I thought I ruined the tree!

Would this be HC worthy?

I'm not sure, I died once when I was fighting Malachai in merciless at the first time. After that it becomes easier and easier. I think it worth a try, get familiar with play style and boss fight in standard, then run it in HC.

How was it you died? I'm also interested in hc. If the damage taken spikey and inconsistent due to it being a dodge build?

I am by no means an expert on this but I noticed you took a lot of nodes that are useless for EK, such as these http://i.gyazo.com/428fda496aed258c626f78e87576d8c5.png as far as I am aware they do not affect spells, also the claw damage node just above it.

And as the other fellow said you could definitely go for a more efficient route, however you can also grab some life nodes that are less out of the way compared to the scion tree. Here http://i.gyazo.com/e84bd338a22daccaeb9a9b848cf26137.png

The claw dmg node was a mis click and is not in my current tree. The life that is near the shadow start area is not as good as others seeing as how the leach passive in that talent slot doesn't apply to projectiles as far as I know. so useless for EK

Hi there. It's been a while since I played so I'm sure how well it fits into the current game but why do you not take Mind over Matter? Is there a way to incorporate that into the build for increased survivability?

Hey jsut wanted to say im currently playing this in the Tempest league and im lvl 78.
I made a few changes to the build, mainly to get more hp to make it more hardcore viable, because the HP on your tree is simply way too low.

heres my current tree
https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAwYAAx4EBwVCBbUGIwceCPQN0Q5IEZYWvx9BH8cgbiLqIvQj9iaVKgsqOCpNK3gsnC2LMHEwfDWSNj06QjpYPydBlklRSshLeEyzTZJN41AwUUdRTFVLVcZd8l8qX7Bh4mKsY0NknWpDaoxsC2yMbRltbG6qcFJw1X1bf8aD24TFidOMNo19jb-P-pMnlS6btZ2qotmsR66zsNi1SLXyvOrAVMM6yBTKStD11CPYvd2o53To1uvk6_Xw1fId8kXz6vVv_gr-jw==?accountName=Adritch&characterName=_Fearless_

my DPS is at about 15k with power charges, which seems pretty fine for mapping, i run HoT with curse on hit assasins mark for powercharges.
I also run herald of ice and clarity.
I will probaly have to get arctic armor later, for higher maps.
Im also looking to buy a lightning coil to boost survivability.

Sure, it's reasonable to give up some dps for survivability in HC. But there are several available life nodes attached to my tree which can be located with less cost of skill points, I'm not sure if go south is the best way for HC. And I'm worried about your mana/ mana regen will be bottleneck to dps.

actually, 6 months ago I mentioned 'Acrobatics + Mind over Matter', you can find it here.

I'd say it's a great combination to boost survivability. But there are something you should know about 'The Awakening' I'm gonna copy and paste some from the patch note which you can find it here

1. Eldritch Battery does not convert Energy Shield to Mana now, it now causes ES to protect Mana instead of Life. Your stand free mana pool and mana regen will be significantly reduced compare with what it should be in 1.3.
2. Clarity: reduced the cost and amount of mana regeneration it grants at all levels. With all the mana / mana regen nodes in my tree and rings/amulet which have mana regen, still I only got 160+ mana regen per second, it barely cover the mana cost for EK itself.
3. Reduced Mana no longer reduces reservation costs of supported gems. Enlighten took the job, and sadly it only offers 92% Mana Multiplier at lv3 and 88% at lv4. You can imagine it.
Above all make Mind over matter much more expensive to get the same effect that it was in 1.3.
