[2.2] Dreamscythe's Dance of Death - (cwdt Scold's) - [Video]

I have updated the build for 2.1

There was a slight nerf (they reduced cyclone's mana cost substantially).

To adjust to the new mana cost, I now use 20% movement speed boots and have changed cyclone to a 4L. Now skold's will proc every third cast of cyclone instead of every 2 casts.

This build can potentially get a massive boost through one of rigwalds 2.1 amulets whcih I am working hard to obtain.

Updated for 2.2 - substantially better! high damage - high level map capability

Hey man,

really like your build and want to try it out.
Could you update it a bit on your first post, especially your gem setups, and maybe link to your current gear?

How about stone golem?

Thanks!

Current gear was up, unfortunately, forums arent displaying some gems/ gear properly. I added a gem link section as per your request. Hope that helps!

As for stone golem, it might be helpful if your are below level 90 and dont have as much es/regen. However later on, the regen it supplies is very small.

I want to use stone golem in a socketed ring until I can afford a shavronne.

What about bandits? I assume kill/kill/kill?

How far do you go into maps (tier) until you run into problems?

any tipps for leveling?

I have only done up to tier 13 maps, havnt really had problems. I got 3 skill points from bandits. As for leveling, it may feel rough until u have 2500+ regen and 11k+ es, but stick to easy map mods.

Is there anoher decent scion build that can work until lvl ~70 and uses as less refunds as possible when I want to switch to your build?

I dont know any off top of my head, but using the same skill tree, you could just use essence drain/contagion. switch out the fevered mind jewels/ some of the life regen jewels for damage/es and you should be golden.

I think you would want to be at least level 80 (honestly, even 85) before switching to cwdt scolds.

I'm lvl 70 and the build works, although I had major problems because I didn't think early enough of leveling the cwdt gems. Leveling until 70 with orb of storms/spark elemental overload. was a huge pain in the ass.

got some more questions:

is there a specific reason why you picked some damage spells over others? why no bladefall for example? why did you link the increased crit multi with glacial cascade and ethereal knive and not sth else? why not ice nova? is firestorm really that good?

would http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Zerphi's_Last_Breath work (I guess not)?

I dont have enough dex to runa lvl 20 bladefall, so I went with EK. EK and glacial cascade do a lot of physical damage, so I linked them with the crit multiplier gem for mobs that are very resistant.

I chose skills like ball lightning and firestorm because they hit very frequently - which procs elemental equilibrium back and fourth. Lastly The only cold spells I use are arctic breath and glacial cascade. This is on purpose, while BL and firestorm proc elemental equilibrium back and fourth, it gives a high probability for the cold spells to hit for maximum damage.
