Thats why Scion is best farmer.
All this talk makes me want to farm the sword again and engage uber Hillock.

You get caught int a fog of hillocks, until you realize that you haven't two shot him, then the fight is on.

Got one, but migrated it. (fresh start new year)
Next league, I'll start 7 the right way and see who uses it.



True! I was nearly asleep when I realized something was way different lol. Out of the scion, ranger and marauder I was rotating, I was happy it was the marauder who encountered Uber Hillock. I don't know if the others would have survived the fight!

Remember that you can keep UH from leap slamming if you stay in melee range all the time and he'll only leap once at 10% health. Otherwise only time to back off and get him to leap is when you need Awakened to kill to refill flasks.


Ennh.... I still prefer to use a Scion and

It pierces automatically.

A little bit of mild kiting, dodge one or two leaps and done.

That feels "safer" to me than trying to melee him.

Scion is best farmer - fastest mov speed and ranged attack.

why do most ppl seem to think the scion is the best uber hillock farmer??

ranger. burning arrow + pierce. with that, i slaughter hillock in a very, very short time, with him spawning minimal adds.
ooh! 'member when PoE was good and fun? i 'member!

I personally hate bows in this game. Tried few times always no pleasure at all. Also Scion has movement speed.
I like how easy the ranger is for clearing and dispensing with Uber Hillock but usually play scion because most of the time is really spent running up the beach and scion is fastest. Actually I play 3 scions and 1 ranger, it breaks up the routine a little.

Farming OG is all about lots of runs. Scion gets move speed and with boots can go even faster. The Hillock fight is 2 minutes of your hours spent. And you get onslaught!

he's easy to tank melee. he's slow--like 1 attack every 5 seconds. dual wield grants 15% chance to block. enough time for energy shield recharge between hits. 3 medium life flasks and 2 mana flask. he doesn't leap slam until he's at 10% life, so you don't have to worry about adds. just stand your ground--don't run away or kite.

scion only moves about 6%-9% faster. in the grand scheme, it's not a big difference. 30 seconds scion vs 31.8 seconds others. = 1.8 second difference.
