Scion path of exile full#

You can take whatever you need based on your preferences and what gear you've found.Ī full tree with everything you'd need from it defensively would look like this: Mace damage and masteries on both Duelist and Templar sides. If you look around that tree, you'll notice there's plenty of wheels that do whatever it is you want to do. You achieve this by taking advantage of the Scion's ability to start from other classes' start point. What you have is half the tree on the Duelist side, which you use to grab both regular block and Armour/Evasion nodes for your defences, and half on the Templar side, which you use to grab Elemental Overload, spell block, and some basic elemental damage and survivability wheels. This is the basic split tree that everything else is going to be based on. To understand what this build does, have a look at this tree. In action, it looks something like this: The gap used to be much larger before the curse nerfs.ġ0M DPS might be possible sacrificing some life and tankiness, see notes at the bottom on possible alternative items. Gear is very niche, which makes it hard to find - likely having to rely on self crafting.īy the numbers, you do ~5M DPS with the tankier version, and ~6M DPS with the slightly less tanky version. There's an expensive (regrets-wise) tree switch in the middle of it after ascendancies. There's no getting around it, which can be a problem for some of the content (Legion chiefly, and high levels of Delirium Incursions are not really a problem). + It is very straightforward, so it's very easy to change and fit your playstyle without breaking some weird interaction or particular must-have tree nodes. At times you'll feel like there's nothing you can't block. + You have very deep multilayered defenses. + You can punch way above your weight with a small investment. So in the quest for max block I realized that all the good block nodes are on opposite sides of the tree. It's great if you have big life/ES recoup numbers though. Going from 50% block to 75% block essentially halves incoming damage, so going from 50% to 75% but letting 65% of damage through is actually worse overall. The increase in block at the expense of letting some damage through might be attractive, but the 65% completely ruins for me. I personally think Glancing Blows, well, blows. That was the start of it, chiefly because of the number of builds out there that seem to be walking around with 'max block but using Glancing Blows'. Hat tip to Drakne514 for suggesting Ice Crash. I'll explain fully in the skills section. Our attack skills of choice are Glacial Hammer and/or Ice Crash. When Sirus drops the meteor geysers or the Eater of Worlds starts its expanding circle beam thing, other, lesser builds have to walk around to avoid the damage you, instead, can step right in it and use it to simply refill your flasks - while maintaining eye contact with the bosses, to establish dominance. Did you accidentally touch one of her spinning beams that stop you from healing? No problem, just walk up to her and bash her on the face with your mace until the debuff goes away it's not like she can hurt you, not really. You can facetank everything the Maven throws at you. You can facetank Uber Eater of Worlds, while doing enough damage to not take half an hour to fight him. You do it by literally facetanking everything they throw at you. You don't do it by blowing up the screen. It's good as league starter all the way to the Maven, A8 Sirus, Simulacrum (wave 30 - yes, I finally managed it), and some pinnacle bosses. No stress, no fuss, just play your way through the entire game as you run through damn near everything for a straightforward hammering experience.

The Ice Shieldmaiden (formerly Glacial Hammer Shieldmaiden), a build made by a lazy person (me!) for other lazy persons who just want to have a chill and relaxing experience playing the game. Hello and welcome to my build thread and the only build I've ever posted on these forums.
