Scion - [3.13] Fire And Lightning Scion | Lightning Strike

Scion variation of my Slayer build from Delirium leagues: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2828126 Original build was nerfed multiple times after Delerium league, but with new Trinity gem, minor Ascendant rework it became viable once again. Build is made around aura cluster jewels and Anger/Wrath combination. The main idea is to stack flat elemental damage from auras rather than from weapon/attributes/jewels. 3.14: Chanelog Spoiler * Vengeful Commander - Nerfed one more time, ~8% DPS loss for build in general * Wave of conviction - Exposure nerfed from 25% to 15%, ~5% DPS loss in worst case scenario * Vaal Lightning Strike - Now can use Vaal LS more often and hence this is a buff to DPS and clear speed * Paradoxica - Veiled mods buffed: 10 ele pen -> 16 ele pen and 16 attack speed -> 22 attack speed, ~10 dps buff Showcase Spoiler Playstyle Spoiler Playstyle may vary from pure melee to pseudo wander. With recent changes LS became very strong range skill and this build mostly uses generic attack modifiers from gear, gems and tree so the damage difference between melee hit and projectile is not so big. Depending on difficulty of encounter you can either DPS it to ash in melee range or play hit and run tactic as regular ranged build. With pierce and modifiers to strike skills target count clear speed is also very strong and comparable to top tier melee skills. Pro's & Con's Spoiler + Can do all content + Respectable single target + Good clear speed + Easy to scale gear - Not beginner friendly - Relies on Cluster Jewels - Can't do reflect and no leech maps Stats and POB Spoiler My min-maxed Lvl 95 Life 7.5k DPS 13.1kk LS + 4.3kk Vaal LS Dodge 60%/50% POB: https://pastebin.com/UJ8KdpeN Low budget(~1.5EX mid league) Lvl 95 Life 6k DPS 2.6kk LS + 900k Vaal LS Dodge 60%/50% POB: https://pastebin.com/THp0EZhT Capabilities Spoiler Simulacrum: complete Shaper: complete Uber elder: complete A8 Sirus: complete Maven: complete Video Spoiler Simulacrum (20 wave): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZvZHQU0epQ Maven's Invitation: Breach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJtHudYGlH0 FAQ Spoiler How to deal with mana reservation? Spoiler * Enlighten 3 or Alpha's Howl or take Sovereignty node * Praxis or ring with Non-Channelling Skills have # to Total Mana Cost mod How to deal with attributes? Spoiler To run this build we need at least 160 int, 212 dex and 100 str. Since we spend all points in str-dex area we are short on int. And this might be a big issue especially while leveling. So what can we do? * Get rare amulet and rings with high int (2 x 40+) * Astramentis is great for leveling * Temporary spec into 30 attribute nodes Trinity support? Spoiler Since we deal approximately 40% fire and 60% lightning damage it is pretty easy to maintain 50 resonance and use this gem at full power all the time. Energy Leech support? Spoiler Active Blood Rage and any amount of energy shield will allow us to use this gem. Also due to permanent energy leech effect we can use Feed the fury cluster passive and % increased Damage while Leeching mod. Passive Tree Spoiler There are many options for mix-maxing based on your gear and preferences. In order to build tree core you need to be lvl 84: http://poeurl.com/dbhJ Disemboweling I strongly recommend to take this node and unspec only in case if you feel that you have consistent crits. Although this is the strongest crit node in the game it affects only melee strike and hence not so useful when you are not in melee range. Unwavering Stance This is must-have node if you have less than 6k life. Only for 3 points you became stun immune. Acrobatics/Phase Acrobatics Although dodge is the only defense mechanism that this build can use, you can try to replace it with Thick Skin and get even more HP. Life Leech The only way to get Life Leech is to get if from cluster jewel. Consider to get any large cluster jewel with Feed the Fury or Drive the Destruction as fast as you can. Mana Leech The best way to get mana leech is cluster jewel with Fuel the Fight notable. Until you get one, spec into small Mana Leech node on tree. Accuracy The best way to fix accuracy is to get accuracy from gear, but you can also spec into Precision or Acuity Ascendancy Spoiler Raider * Frenzy charges and Onslaught. * Allows to start at ranger area. * Helps to fix DEX issues. Champion * Free fortify * Good overall damage Bandits/Pantheon: Spoiler Bandits - Kill all Major God - Lunaris or Brine King Minor God - Ryslatha. Capture Soul of Gorulis (Infested Valley Map) when have a chance. My current Gear Spoiler Gear explanation and options Spoiler Since this build uses mostly rare gear there should not be any issues with maxing out resists and hp. Besides jewels, head and weapon you can use almost anything. Weapon Spoiler Paradoxica is the best weapon for this build. Mods to look for: #% increased Attack Speed (Local) Attacks with this Weapon Penetrate #% Elemental Resistances Cheap alternative for start Helmet Spoiler + % to Level of Socketed Aura Gems and + % to Level of Socketed Aoe Gems mods adds a lot of damage for this build. Best starting helmet for the build. Very strong with +2 aura/aoe gems corruption Rare helmet with +2 to Level of Socketed Support Gems and +1 to Level of Socketed AoE Gems. You can either buy helmet with delve mod or craft one with Essence Of Delirium. Fine crafted rare helmet with enchantment beats even corrupted Alpha's Howl. Jewels Spoiler Build enabling jewel and the only reason why this build works. In total we can stack up to 80% aura effect increase for both Anger and Wrath from Vengeful Commander. And that a lot of flat fire/lighting damage. To make passive tree optimal it's better to get medium jewel with "Adds 4-5 Passive Skills" implicit. Vengeful Commander - this is the build. Mandatory notable. Secondary notables: Precise Commander - Best secondary notable. Be aware this is very rare mod. Replenishing Presence - Best budget wise secondary notable. A bit less dps, but much more common. First Among equals - Cheapest secondary notable. Same as previous but lack of life regen. Attack jewels with leech nodes are the best jewels you can get for this build. You do not need the perfect one to make is useful, but keep in mind that it's a bit hard to craft attack jewel with 3 notables. Feed the fury - best notable due to absurdly strong bonuses. Fuel the Fight, Martial Prowess - both are great, first one help to cap accuracy, second one provides mana leech. Elemental jewels also good and easy to craft Vengeful Commander - same as on medium jewel Prismatic Heart - best second elemental notable, good damage and 30 resistance in total The same as for medium jewels: get large jewels with "Adds 8 Passive Skills" implicit for endgame. Any Elder jewel with Wrath+Anger mods is strongly recommended. Mods to look for: #% to Critical Strike Multiplier while affected by Anger #% increased Critical Strike Chance while affected by Wrath Damage Penetrates #% Fire Resistance while affected by Anger Damage Penetrates #% Lightning Resistance while affected by Wrath Any jewel with life, crit multi and attack speed. T1 mods: #% increased maximum Life #% to Critical Strike Multiplier with Lightning Skills T2 mods: #% to Critical Strike Multiplier with Elemental Skills #% increased Attack Speed with Swords T3 mods: #% increased Attack Speed with One Handed Melee Weapons #% increased Attack Speed while holding a Shield #% to Melee Critical Strike Multiplier #% to Global Critical Strike Multiplier Utility mods: #% increased Global Accuracy Rating +# total to Intelligence +# total to Dexterity +#% total Elemental Resistance Abyss jewel with +200 to Accuracy will help to max out hit chance. Consider to get one with good Stygian belt at some point. Jewelery Spoiler Amulet: Due to low int from passive tree we have to get it from gear. And the best way to get it is an amulet with high base int and 20% attribute quality. T1 Mods: +# total to Intelligence +# total maximum Life +#% Global Critical Strike Multiplier T2 Mods: # to Accuracy Rating #% increased Elemental Damage with Attack Skills Crafter mods: % increased Damage while Leeching. Astramentis is a great option for the start, since it allows you to completely forget about any issues with attributes. Although it definitely worse than good rare amulet. Rings: Any rare rings that will help you to top resistance/damage/life/attributes. Trigger Level # Assassin's Mark when you Hit a Rare or Unique Enemy is the best damage mod that you can get from ring slot. Shield Spoiler Base with high flat and (7-10)% increased maximum Life mod. +2 to Level of Socketed Aura Gems - also might be useful if you use helmet without "+ level of gems" mods Cheap unique alternatives Gloves: Spoiler Any good rare gloves. Since we are using strike skill, hunter gloves with Strike Skills target 1 additional nearby Enemy mod can be very usefull. Consider to get one with spare mod so you craft % increased Damage while Leeching or % increased Attack Speed. Other gear Spoiler Boots: Any good rare boots. Boots with You have Tailwind if you have dealt a Critical Strike Recently are essentially best for any attack build. Belt: Any belt with HP and Resists. Belt with good base elemental resists and 20% quality usually the best way to max our elemental resistance in end game. Highly recommended Stygian base. Body: T1 mods: +# total maximum Life #% increased maximum Life Attacks have #% to Critical Strike Chance - best for damage. Enemies you Kill Explode, dealing #% of their Life as Physical Damage - best for clear speed. Crafted mods: #% increased maximum Life #% chance to Dodge Spell Hits Wite Socket can be quite useful to optimize gem setup for mapping. Flasks Spoiler Panicked Divine flask is the best you can get for life flask slot. BIS utility flasks Best minor utility flasks. Expensive utility flasks. Gems Spoiler Main 6L: Primary: Vaal Lightning Strike Multistrike Elemental Damage With Attacks Trinity - Since we deal split fire/lighting damage it's pretty easy to maintain 50 resonance Energy Leech - Great generic damage gem that helps up to activate all leech related cluster nodes. !!! You need to have active Blood Rage and any amount of Energy Shield in order to use this gems Secondary* - pick whatever suits you more Ancestral call - Best for clear speed Elemental Focus - Overall most useful in any situation Inspiration - Great with 5 charges, but takes some time to stack it with multistrike. Close Combat - Best single target dps in close range. Works only on melee part of attack Movement skill setups Leap Slam + Faster Attacks Dash + Second Wind Aura setup Wrath + Anger + Enlighten CWDT setups CWDT 20 + Steelskin + Summon Chaos Golem CWDT 20 + Steelskin + Summon Stone Golem CWDT 1 + Wave of Conviction 1-7 - to apply Fire exposure CWDT 1 + Added Lightning Damage + Wave of Conviction 1-7 - to apply Lightning exposure. Utility Ancestral Warchief + Ancestral Protector + Multiple Totem - best utility DPS setup Enduring cry + Second Wind - free endurance charges and strong regen Enduring cry + Second Wind + Urgent orders - if you have extra gem slot Blood Rage Precision lvl 1-5 - to resolve accuracy issues Precision lvl 1-5 + Blood Magic - to resolve accuracy issues when you low on mana Awakened gems Spoiler Awakened Ancestral Call - Noticeably improves clear speed. Awakened Elemental Focus and Awakened Elemental Damage With Attacks - Minor DPS improvement, both gems have same value. Awakened Multistrike - If you have huge budget. Useful gems with alternate quality Spoiler Anomalous Trinity - Best alternate quality gem for this build, make sure to get it at some point Divergent Multistrike Phantasmal Ancestral Protector Anomalous Enduring cry Anomalous Second wind Phantasmal Leap Slam Anointment Spoiler Tenacity - best offence/defense compromise Golem's Blood - best defense Panopticon - best single target Tribal Fury - best clear speed Last edited by GreenSubmarine on Apr 17, 2021, 3:51:24 AM Last bumped on Apr 19, 2021, 6:19:21 AM	Posted by GreenSubmarine on Feb 3, 2021, 5:49:14 PM Quote this Post

Hi, Good work on your build ! I would like to try it for the upcoming league. Since the budget build is only 1.5 ex, do you think it can be a viable league starter ?	Posted by Capriccio on Apr 11, 2021, 2:26:58 PM Quote this Post

This is a "mid league" budget. Hard to predict how much it will cost at start of the league since it depends on jewels. It was mine league starter and it went pretty well, but i do not think that i would recommend it as league starter. Typical melee phys build will definitely perform better. Keep in mind that you will need to complete Uber lab in order to make proper passive tree and get cluster jewels (might be expensive at first week of the league).

I'm thinking about starting with this build. Do you have any tips on leveling? Seems like the endgame tree has no damage anywhere near the starting point, which seems rough. I was thinking about getting early physical damage nodes, then pathing through Attack Speed all the way to Aspect of the Lynx, and from there follow the guide while grabing Scion life nodes as necessary - looks like ranger side of the tree has much more dmg nodes. Another idea would be to grab Supreme Ego, but tbh that seems a bit out of way.	Posted by Noital on Apr 14, 2021, 6:45:59 PM Quote this Post

Since you need cluster jewels and 2 50% reservation auras you most like will not be able to make this build until level 70+. I have started with phys two hander by moving to Duelist and Marauder area and taking all generic two hander nodes (Destroyer, Executioner, Martial Experience) then moved top to Templar elemental area (Divine Judgment, Holy Dominion). When i have completed uber lab and got some cluster jewels i reallocated major part of my tree to ranger start area. Moving to Ranger area instead of Templar-Marauder should work too (actually sounds better than my route), i believe in this case it will be better to start with phys one hander and Frost Blades.
