Your custom modifications are bad:

1. Perandus Signet without +1 Astra means you have only 2 curses. You can get by with 2 until T16, but then those exact 2 bosses are much harder. Especially the Shaper. Swap that Perandus for Doedre's Damning.

2. No Potency of Will?? Your Icestorms don't last long enough. Major loss of DPS. Get Potency of Will ASAP.

3. Melding?? And I assume the nearby jewel is Energy From Within? That's a major loss of Int for the sake of some ES. But this build's ES comes from Int, as does the DPS. Refund that ASAP and get Potency of Will and a real jewel (see Gear-Jewels).

You have 5 nodes wasted: Melding and a standalone Int node near Deep Wisdom. Take Potency of Will and the jewel socket near Scion (Fertile Mind). That costs 6 points. Either get 1 more level or refund Catalyse for now and get it back when you level.

You also need to run PoI for the Shaper and Hydra. Either get a 2nd Black Sun with BBGG sockets (Disc - Vaal Disc - AA - PoI) or take out Enhance to run PoI for those 2 bosses (and use the Purity setup described at the top of the Boss Guide). Remember to pop Orb of Storms near the boss.

@Kelvynn
For fun, you should try to tank double shaper's beam attack (clone and shaper himself) that would be absolutely bad ass.

Just like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Muhimc2BP3A

The amount of dedication, detail and work of this build (and all their versions) is simply awesome.

Thank you man!!

Hi, I was thinking to go back to my witch with whispering I did earlier, I got 6s staff but no links as it was said b4 in t guide, no need links. Now I need them even if I want to go as self casing? Or is just for CwC? How many links is good to have? And wich colours have to b linked? Can some1 tel me plz?? Thanks and GL&HF..

Links are only needed if you want to play CWC.

Hey Kelvynn, one question...

in your Scion you are using controlled destruction instead of Conc effect, it's better?

Thx!!

Doesn't seem worth it. We already have so much leech. Even the little bit of block seems better IMO.

Already did an even harder thing back in 2.4 on the Inquisitor version: 2x vortex + clone beam + Shaper Slam. :)

No, it's just for faster clearing in T16. My Scion is lv 99 and I decided to get her to lv 100 for the 1st anniversary of the build. :) It's insanely hard to get xp at lv 99 now, so I'm clearing T16 maps with high pack size mods on her with CD and then using the Inquisitor to murder the boss.

Nah, don't waste staves/vaals. 12% block is already the best implicit on it.
