Obviously for some builds the scion won't always be the best option. But it sure is looking a bit OP. Makes me wish I actually leveled up high up. Even for my dual wielding duelist, I bet she could do it better.

Try looking a bit closer at the wimpy "major" nodes she gets. You get two of them at most, and none of them get anything as powerful as the 4-pointers in the other character's subclasses.

Unless you have some build that gains great synergy from picking mediocre major nodes reflecting two different classes' abilities or you really, really, really need the ability to have two starting points in the skill tree, the Scion will probably be a poor choice.

Deadeye + elem\inq EK 7 link low life ES character says hi. Some builds will be beyond broken. For others pure class will be much better.

So does this mean that a Scion could potentially have an entire skill tree that doesn't involve her start area?

Sure appears that way although there would be no point in doing this since you can only get a maximum of two start points (one being scion).

Can we get working and broken traps microtransactions for our hideouts?!?!??!

Not OP... 6 Ascendancy points and what do you get...

- max of 2 major nodes where the other classes get 3
- the nodes available in each class ascendancy conveniently left out the nodes you would have taken had you chose that ascendancy path from the owning class... i.e. the best nodes of each class ascendancy isn't available to the Scion
- decide to be use another classes starting point, you get two 40 point stat nodes, one ascendancy node... and two skill points to throw at the normal tree

It's all trade-offs which is good.

The Life wheel nerf makes me skeptical about the expac now tbh

Omg, look closer, there is no life wheel nerf... there is the same number of points there.

I'm not sure if anyone noticed but there is an error in this class:

If you choose elementalist as a scion "subclass" or whatever it is called, on the third line:

Gain Elemental Conflux for "0" seconds when you kill a Rare or Unique Enemy

0 seconds, not that i would care for elementalist scion subclass it's weak as hell but it's definitely an error that need to be fixed

Or am i missing something?

edit. it's prob just a typo at 4:31

Awesome!
