[3.3] CI Wandcultist - League starter - Fast mapper - Guardians on a 5L - Shaper down

Good stuff! Scion viable? I want to play for the first time CI build and want to play scion wander.
This is the tree i've planned right now, could you please take a look on it?

Going Scion you will need a lot, and I mean a lot more ES on the tree.


Now, inefficiencies that I see are:
- The jewel socket without Power charge next to it isn't worth it
- Going for Heartseeker with jewel socket for a total of 9 points
- Fury Bolts without jewel socket 2 points away
- I'd go for Raider for constant Frenzy on bosses and freeing up Silver flask.
- Probably Jugg would be better then Occultist, you get same stun but also a lot of accuracy, chill immunity and great uptime on Immortal Call.

I don't really think going ES on anything different then pure ES classes (Occ, Trickster, Guardian) is worth it with an ES wander, I really think Scion could be better suited for life based setup. You can get Slayer leech this way :)

I am working full time so I can only play a couple of hours on weekdays.
Still managed to hit level 96 and on my way to 97 while doing t13-t16 maps mostly.
I pretty much stopped dying when I switched Pantheon's to Lunaris and Abberath. Also Vaal Grace instead of Vaal Discipline seems to be better the safer option for Bosses.

So, I'm using this on HC and golems in HC are a date with death in incursions. What do you think about dropping Ice golem for HoI + CoH + Poachers mark since it will up mapping sustain + accuracy without having to risk death due to golem. Also is there any reason not to go VP since we have no Zealots Oath? I guess it would even be possible to drop power charge ascendancy and do a HoI+ CoH+ Ass Mark + Poachers giving you malediction on your curses too. This of course would mainly be for mapping.

Whatever works for you mate :) Gratz on pushing the build so far, I usually stop leveling around 91-92, start bossing, and since I'm really just a noob I still end up dying to stupid mistakes.

You could try using Soul of Lunaris with upgrade to help with chain problem if it is an issue for you. For curse if you want to go with Malediction, I'd rather use Assassin's Mark with HoI. You can easily get Frenzy from Blood Rage and Power charges with HoI.

Going Malediction route is a strong option, but requires you to either have the corruption on a wand, or Shaped wand with Power charge generation, or Skyforth (which costs a lot of ES and resists), or HoI+Assassin's Mark and Orb of Storms with PCoC for bosses, which itself is clunky. For these specific reasons I haven't included it in the guide but the option to do it exists.

Hey, I've been trying your build, but I can't seem to hit the same DPS as the build you listed. Can you take a look at my character and see what I should change/do to fix this?

Here's a pastebin for my build so far

You are still low level, missing a few quest points, and there's a lot of jewel sockets to pick up in the future, as well as upgrading your gear.

Level up more, and if you still are having issues, let me know in the thread :) Abyss jewels do improve the dps by a ton so try to get some with nice mods as well as Stygian belt.

Managed to craft this one by alt+regal+annuling the trash suffix.


The question is: Is it worth to multimode this one and run CoE (no enchant), or stick with the Piscator's like this one?

Hard to say, but I think for the cost of 2ex you should be able to find a sick wand with Incursion penetration + flat mod. Remember to compare wands from poe.trade using method I described in first post and select Shaper in PoB config, since bosses are the only targets you really care about
