The ascendancies in the end game PoB looks odd, is there an error there? Taking a 20 dex/int node and not using all 8 points seems off.
Instead of going for the extra 3 skill points even if you're not using the starting point for anything.

I'd say go scion right from the start this league. Having agnostic on the tree and super close to the scion start will be major game changer. Path out right and up to/around shadow first to get the essential 2 or 3 major mines clusters. Then go back across witch to MoM and then go down out of scion thru resists > life > agnostic. Can always get the 4 resists node going to sentinel earlier if you have bad luck getting decent resists going before/after A5 penalty.

Take leveling a bit slow if necessary and make sure to keep updated mana flasks once u have mom/agnostic. At level 65 do whatever it takes to get your hands on the 20quality enduring eternal mana flask of warding. The build revolves around this flask. By this point you should be sorting out your other flasks as well and from 65-70 get rolling into maps. Just grind whatever tier maps your gear and skill level allows early on focusing on player and gem experience. Staying in lower maps for a few extra levels(while not risking death for exp penalty) for some extra passives and getting 1 or 2 levels on all your gems makes a much bigger difference than new players realize sometimes. Those few extra nodes and gem xp can get you like 20-40% more damage/defense and makes the transition into tougher red maps far easier.

So after the slow projectiles nerf, we scale our damage with increased area effect until we can max out Ball Lightning and get 13 hits which happens
at 100% increased area damage (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgjOHtwcmPk).

I think ascending Sabo to start with will make sense, since it gives the 30% area effect which just became basically a 30% more damage mod for us.

However I also agree the extra 8% MoM is so good in late endgame. How can we get it back? One thing I noticed is that the Scion section has a good Unnatural Instinct socket that yields 3 area effect small passive nodes that lead nowhere. Plus it gives a lot of extra mana and mana regen and random skill effect duration.

I also saved a few points by pathing from Ranger starter zone.

An option you didn't take is Battle Rouse; I guess our recovery is just so high that it doesn't matter?

Thinking about using this build as a starter instead of the Sab version as I prefer the better defense and have some questions.

How do we reach 100 % increased AOE? I only count 50 % in your final tree with Hiero.

How feasible is res capping as we use so many uniques?

Why do we not use Watchers for 10 % MoM?

I sometimes find the high apm of mine builds hard on my hands, so I'm considering running this build but using lightning trap. Any major red flags with that option?

While wearing an Indigon, if I queue an enduring mana flask and a foreboding hybrid flask at the same time, what happens? Does the life recovery from both Indigon and the Foreboding flask apply?

Tested this a bit for you. Both flasks can run concurrently. The life flask portion of the hybrid flask ends as soon as you hit full health with any prefix which is instantly with your mana flask running since this build has crazy recovery. The mana portion of the hybrid continues to run with enduring/foreboding but is a negligible amount. Think the life recovery was nerfed at some point.
