Looking for beginner friendly or self found Scion build

Basically just something I can play and survive not including ascendancy. Something that showcases what starting in the middle has to offer.

Hey there pal! One of the stark contrasts of the Scion class is the ascendancy. Some builds quickly work their way towards one of the other base classes starting spots and then via ascendancy can allocate nodes from there as well as Scion. I tend to prefer to refund out of the Scion start at that time and spend my nodes elsewhere on the tree, effectively creating a character of any class with a Scion ascendancy platform.

As far as nodes around Scion...

The Life wheel is good Life.
The ES wheel is good ES.
The EVA wheel is good EVA.

On characters running 5 or more auras I'd suggest the reserve node top right.

The double skill duration clusters can be handy.

The area radius near Scion start can be handy.

Elemental Equilibrium is useful if you run 2 different element spells with roughly even ratio of hits per second.

You also can be more supportive by taking Conduit and charge on kill to generate charges for you and your crew.

Let me know if you needed something more specific.
