Yeah ofc you can, I'm currently lvling a wand scion and have been using wands since lvl 12. At 12 just get 2x Storm prism wands a barrage and a volley fire Jewel, barrage is then your AOE clean and single target till 28 when you can use KB as your AOE then just switch the volley fire for a static electricity or a poachers aim and that carried me till 65 when I switched to piscators :)

this should be added to FAQ on how to level really helped me blasting through act 4 now :D just how do you deal with INT requirements early ? i already took 2 +30 int points cant level my gems lOL

I can't actually remember having any problems with INT until switching to piscators tbh, used a wurmsmolt early on and probably routed to the wand nodes earlier then you, that's all I can think of. Try get some INT on accessories if your having issues, I'm a scion so get 40 INT from elementalist ascendency which probably helped too, if you're still having issues Mathil recently posted a vid about lvling wanders and that's pretty much how I do it too

Hello Guys,

Have 2 questions regarding gear choices:

1. Did anyone tested "The Taming" ring with this build? It is quite expensive but ele dmg boost and more dmg per shock/ignite/freeze looks huge and then we can probably use immolate gem in Barrage setup.

2. I can't decide between QotF and Yriel's. Attack Speed and move speed from yriel's is nice and crit chance is another great bonus (+ more HP). Bestial minion is quite tanky and with vall skeletons we have great distractions for bosses.
QotF is great (more eva) and move speed is great but I'm not sure if we really need more move speed. Evasion is high enough with flasks even qithout QotF. Maybe I have to buy both and compare them :F.

Please help :F.
My Current gear below. I still have a lot of leveling before me but it will go quite fast I hope :)

Gear

oh yeah im raider so i dont get free stats from scion :D and i also went to the duelist leech nodes first so thats also a problem i guess :D and im wearing random uniques that have no stats on them so that doesnt help either :D

The Empower goes in the wand slot, currently testing without it because I got this new wand today and mana starving. Also considering switching to Raider, will have 1.6m Shaper DPS with a shitty amulet. this gives me 200k dps vs Shaper if I swap Bisco's.

Any tips on what upgrades would get the best bang for my buck next? I don't want to spent mindlessly since any wander gear is incredibly expensive.

so is emp 3 / enl 3 / wrath actually worth it?

btw are Inya's Epiphany boots viable?

Great guide. thanks for sharing your knowledge about wanders.

I've decided to reroll to try Ascendant. I was pathfinding.

I got up to 35, played a few hours last night. The electric arrow was lack luster. But when I switched to KB, it was all good.

I was wondering if you could elaborate a bit more for the tree progression for Scion, and the ascendancy priorities.

thanks!

I added general tree progression in the leveling section. As for Ascendancys, go all the way in ranger first. This will save you some pathing points.

thanks for that!

So I suppose this is fine: Grab the 40int and 40dex - normal lab, then grab the raider for cruel, and then grab ranger for merciless lab.

I was trying to get more specific, in terms of taking notable passives.

eg. Should I travel to Constitution before Bravery or Golem's blood? Or how about thick Skin or Herbalism?

which sequence do you find best in your opinion?

Then grab primeval force? etc.

Thanks again!

Noob question: with herald of ice mana reserv. is 27% and at wrath aura is 60%. why?

I'm doing something wrong but I do not know what...

HoI is normal at 27%, you're linking Onslaught to it which has a 110% mana multiplier. Wrath is linked to faster casting with 120% mana multiplier (50% * 1.2 = 60%), you need to unlink your wand or put wrath somewhere else.

ohh lol i'm blind...thnx mate!

how important is 6 link if you dont plan on killing any bosses besides like shitty t12-t13 map boses? no shaper no uber atziri or w/e ? can you get by with 5 link ? i have the money for 6 link yriels im just not sure if i need it :S

and how viable is empower 3 / enlight 3 / wrath?
