I started to play this build from a week and the feeling was awesome, always want a char with BF/reave and i find it, a lot of fun nice clear and speed, clearly like Guffin say he don't have the clear speed of a QOTF Kb, but is really fast, leech is insane and on some boss you can nearly face tank it. For my gear i'm doing mid tier red map without any pain, when i get some currency i'll upgrade my equip for endgame content.
Last conclusion TRY THIS BUILD IS AWESOME, big congratulation, on next league if i decide to play it i'll go for the molten strike version :D

hey,
cheers for the build mate, have played a BF/reave champ as my main this league but keen to try a scion and found your build. Stat stick news will define a lot of what we do in a day or so of course though.
my question is, and i am sure someone has asked in the forum already(but finding it), what about going PF over raider, the QOL is the obvious reason, and POB shows a dps increase but i guess i am missing something?

cheers for the help

edit: i take it back about the DPS, but the QOL with flasks.

Yo mate, thanks for the interest in my Guide :)

PFs 10% AS and 6% Pen cant beat 20% MORE Damage and 20% AS from Frenzies, as well as 20% additional AS from Onslaught. 4% Dodge Chance is also a totally viable Addition to our defense, and 20% Attack damage is small but okay.

PFs Flask mechanic is really great, but completely obsolete during mapping which is 90% of what players do anyways. Same could be said for Raiders Frenzies due to Blood Rage, but free Onslaught makes mapping faster without sacrificing a Flask Slot or Gem (which is unreliable anyways).

On all the Endgame Bosses you dont have Flask Problems anyways. Instantly phasing them with one flaskround kinda does that. You could argue that with that much damage, you could also just take PF anyways, but the damage Thresholds for insta phasing are reached quicker with Raider.

All in all Raider is taken for the very nice damage and big boost to speed, making The build feel smoother.

That said, I agree that PF is awesome. Especially in HC I'd recommend it for the extra Level of Security during uber elder etc.

I planned to do a full on ascendancy choice discussion etc., Obviously including PF and Jugg+Slayer, for a Long Time now, but am Limited by the 50k Letter constraint and my personal time.
Gonna contact Support If they can fix the First Thing maaaybe.

As for statsticks: If the concept of statsticking remains, meaning only shaped statsticks get gutted, Moonbenders Wing (maybe with a Fortify corruption) and a Crit hatred Watchers eye remain viable options for the build. I'd go from 8,6 to 7,1m Shaper DPS Like that.
If statsticking in General gets nerfed/removed, Lycosidae Variants come into Play. BF/Reave with lyco is completely fine, tho the Molten Strike Variant explained in the second Post will be better.

If Slayer Ascendants overleech gets gutted, we'll have to move to some other stuff.

Gonna see how the manifesto today and the notes tomorrow Play Out.
Luckily I have wednesday off, so I'll have plenty of time to change up my Guides :D

Hope that Covers everything, stay tuned for the Changes :)

Any early thoughts if/how this build will do with the stat stick changes?

Edit - Just saw you addressed it in last post. I'll be keeping an eye out on Wednesday, cheers
