Stupid question, is this build viable as a Scion? Obvious negatives would be less 250 ES and less clear from profane bloom.

Would appreciate any advice.

yes, but you have to refer to WaffleT's builds
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1880917/page/1
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2172248

or similar ones from poeninja builds.

scion should have more dps, but usually I see them going with one claw and atziri's reflection, plus other expensive stuff to be tanky.
that shield is about 35-40 exalted now, and the prophecy is that expensive too, I still think that the occultist is better being cheaper and tankier.
and keep in mind that with scion you don't have stun immunity from vile bastion, so if you go with ES you'll have to use the brine king pantheon or kiara's determination to avoid being permastunned.
another option would be going life as scion, using brutus' lead sprinkler instead of howa, it seems a very solid build to me, but it's a whole different build/concept

Got my toon to lvl66, still on a 2x arc/ball lightning poet's pens setup. Just out of curiosity, does the life on hit from the howa apply to ES when you go ghost reaver?

Is it worth using multistrike when you have es on hit watcher's eye?
