do you think scion is the best ascendancy class for your colb?

for a cheap budget i think this is possibly the best (though you can use alot of veriation of this, with alot of diff ascendancies).

today ill start to work on what i think will be stronger (but more expansive version)

update:
started to work on version 3 of this build, really enjoyed v2 but thought the single target damage isnt good enough, so how coul i improve that?

i decided to go with Elementalist ascendancy, and use:



because i hit alot of times per sec (cant even calculate how many) this make me DPS sky rocketing as long as i have any trash mob in the area.

PROS: boss die in 1-2 sec
Cons: - no leech from berserker node (not sure if really needed)
less life atm (only 6.5K but only lvl 82) i think i can reach ~7.5K life.

I think that version not working so well... will struggle later in maps i think. But keep us posted

I'm intrigued by the build, but I think it is unrealistic to have part of the lynchpin be the corrupted bitterdream. While I understand this is anecdotal, I've easily corrupted 30-40 of these without seeing this corruption so far. Out of curiosity how many did it take you?

Well.. i actually bought mine, for 1 chaos, because no one had use for this unique than (on poe trade there were 3 more for similar prices).
You can also use the melee splash corruption.
Or use the Nycta's Lantern Crystal Sceptre also corrupted (but you will probably need one more jewel)
Or look for a 2h (but that is far less of an option, and cost more to 6L)

Got mine in 7 corruptions

Thanks again for the build mate I'm at 4 jewels with 669 mana cost and I'm clearing really fast.

Just gotta remember to keep flasks up ):
Is there any way to keep track of the flask timer?

im also using
both have timers (for 5 sec, just notice i should put quality on those :)), so you can keep some track on time that way

Hi x_ile,

Great work on your build. Definitely love the clearspeed with the large number of projectiles. However, I've happened to also run a berserker and duelist variant (didn't go scion unfortunately), where the Berserker had around 6.1k life @ 77, and the Duelist was max block currently at 93.

I found that as you progressed consistently through higher map levels, you started to encounter a large number of damage sources that would instantly bring you below the Scold's + Blood magic damage threshold, and you would instantly die. Your higher tier map videos have been great at showcasing the build, but might be failing to capture the range of damage taken with a larger number of damage mods (a.k. vulnerability, minus max, inc monster damage/elements, elemental reflect). For a player who would like to push the build to 92+, which involves running more rippy maps, how would you suggest they work on their defences beyond just a high health pool? My berserker started to die pretty much every 3 maps or so, while the duelist seemed a bit more successful on this end.

For reference, my Berserker's passive tree can be checked on my profile, and my duelist has an extensive guide that's been posted here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1632951
