Scion - (3.2) [Lighty] Bladefall Totem's - Better Every League Since 2.1 - Forum

" Thanks Lighty for a cool build , what would be the suggested gear for the crit. witch variation ? anyone else tried it ? You can check my char "Merkarala". She's not perfect in any way, but you should get an idea. Around 25k with auras. Last edited by Dowd#4450 on Feb 5, 2016, 12:13:25 PM	Posted by Dowd#4450 on Feb 5, 2016, 12:12:41 PM Quote this Post

The gear choices or gem setup wont change at all. Should have all this up tonight. LightyGaming.com	Posted by Lighty#2687 on Mar 2, 2016, 11:53:56 PM Quote this Post

2.2 passive tree with scion subclass. I'm not 100% sure its possible but Chieftain and Juggernaut seem best for what we want.The remaining 2 points should go into 40dex ranger and 20dex/str duelist to save up attribute hassle. Also if you've Killed Recently work if your totems kill shit but Kills made by totems are credited to the creator so you gain the effects sadly. 2.2 Scion Passive Tree (final) Juggernaut 30% increased Armour Cannot be Chilled 10% chance to gain an Endurance Charge when you are Hit You can't be Stunned while you're at maximum Endurance Charges Chieftain 15% chance to Ignite 30% increased Damage while you have a Totem Gain 15% of Physical Damage as Extra Fire Damage if you've Killed Recently Regenerate 2% of Maximum Life per second while you have a Totem Bladefall Nerf Bladefall had a bug that caused its damage per volley reduction to apply too early, reducing the damage of the first four stages. This has been fixed, which has raised its damage. To compensate, Bladefall's damage has been reduced by 25% at all levels. Bladefall now does 6% less damage per stage (up from 5%). Its damage effectiveness has been reduced from 120% to 90%. Essentially its 30% nerfed but still 100% viable for HC Perandus.

Do you think Scion still is the best choice for this or maybe other class subclass will work better?	Posted by kakius#6954 on Mar 3, 2016, 4:22:22 AM Quote this Post

Volley reduction applied too early = less damage was applied in 2.1. This has now been fixed and because BF now has higher damage output than before they decreased the numerical damage at all levels by 25% to compensate. I read that as it now does exactly the same amount of damage as before! What HAS been nerfed is the 5->6% less damage per stage and the damage effectiveness, all of which I think does not really matter. So yeah, your tooltip probably will show a smaller number, but in reality the damage output is almost (5->6% and 120%->90%) the same.	Posted by Deleted on Mar 3, 2016, 6:18:29 AM
You can't take two ascendancies from the same subclass, so I would probably swap juggernaut for hierophant for 1 additional totem.	Posted by Zavake#1400 on Mar 3, 2016, 6:32:27 AM Quote this Post

Hierophant doesn't actually let you place an additional totem. It allows you to cast an extra totem which is socketed in your helmet (so an extra 4L totem) which isn't that great.

You are correct and I misread it, Bladefall totems is perfectly fine then. LightyGaming.com	Posted by Lighty#2687 on Mar 3, 2016, 2:53:42 PM Quote this Post
