This build has always had a future - it's why I think it's such an excellent permanent league build. It's been going strong since Mjolner's itroduction in 1.1 and the only thing that has changed is rather Scion/Marauder/Witch is the best class for it at a given moment.

The build relies on so many fundamental mechanics combinations that it would take drastic measures to see it nerfed to being no longer viable as an endgame build.

I don't think this build is viable for Atziri. Thats one end game out of the question well atleast on scion anyways.

The only positive thing I am seeing on Scion Ascendant is ability to gain huge Life, intelligence and dexterity 40 of each to wield repentance and mjolner.

I am thinking maybe this could allow for the scion to equip unique items that would otherwise not be possible on anyother class.

Nah, conc effect and atziri is no problem.

Normal Atziri is super EZ mode for this build. Don't use Arc in Mjolner for Atziri fight itself because you'll die to reflect (put in Conc Effect instead).

I use double Discharge on my Mjolner.

What I am thinking about experimenting with is Mjolner discharge scion with a mix of life and some energy shield with kingsguard and agies shield with lots of shield block.

Normal Atziri is easy I agree but not so sure about Ubber but then again its really expensive to fight Ubber.

But the more I try it the better Juggernaut is at it. I dunno what kinda retarded balance is this to be honest and GGG has not even acknowledged this issue with scion.

Uber is only doable with a combination of very good gear and skilled play. Very difficult to get through Uber Trio & Uber Atziri herself without legacy Vinktar and legacy Mjolner. This has never been a build meant for farming Uber Atziri, as stated in the OP under "cons".

So tackle70, are you going to update for 2.3 (and move to mara forum I suppose)?

I'm playing low life zerker in 2.3 for quite a bit now (alongside other builds in 2.3) and its working fine. Needs a tiny bit more ES pool than previously (10% increased damage taken) but other than that its very nice and smooth, doing even more damage than before. Ofc all the cons are still there (phys mitigation, dot mitigation) but are managable. As far as this specific Mjolner version goes I dont see much more room for improvement.

Tree that I'm using (poeplanner link).

Didnt decide yet to go even more dmg (Heart of Thunder) or more es (Faith and Steel) or a bit of both (Celestial Judgement, Faith and Steel).

Rest of the stuff I've posted earlier.


I'm curious how is your version going, what tree / gear you're using and what are your current thougs regarding its performance in 2.3.

I haven't decided yet. I definitely am not going to update to 2.3 in the Scion forum, because I don't think this is a Scion build for 2.3.

What I'm undecided on is rather or not to wait for 2.4 to make a guide update/migration to the Marauder forum. I'd like to see how permanent this switch to Marauder is going to be before changing which forum this guide is in...

My variant has been going well... damage was a bit higher than needed for mapping so have currently converted my gem/gear setup to a hybrid magic find setup.

I see. Many trust, including me, that your version will be well balanced and polished as you have lots of experience with it. Its your build. So whenever you are ready.

Currently I'll use what I have than regarding this version here.

Scion Mjolner days are over

I wonder what build can scion do with her ascendancy that another can't?

I can't think of any. Have you guys seen the ascendant tree of a real berserker? boy it makes scion's ascendancy look like a joke.
