[3.0]Elemental Blade Vortex Scion. A strong,cheap and fun leaguestarter. HC
Hi im trying this build now in HC, and im new to BV so im wondering what kind of rings/amus im looking for? will added dmg increase my dmg? or do i just look for random life/resists items?
Also what kind of jewels? Editado por útlima vez por Zieralol en 24 ago. 2017 3:07:36

Yo, this build is being slept on.
This shit is actually so good, though I did change the tree around a little bit to suit my personal taste.

282k damage, 179k against shaper. |

" And how do you fare against shaper with 179k total dps, if you don't mind me asking? I would have never thought that vortex below 450-500k total could do shaper, thus the question. I've seen 400k~ish sunder with max block taking him down and that took a while. 179k, assuming it's on 20 blades, and due to a fact that it's a BV, for that exact reason does not seem impressive and should take a while to take him down, if at all. The longer the fight, the more trash is on the screen, needs proper micromanaging etc etc. Thus the question. While I am interested in playing a Scion, and blade vortex, since I haven't played BV in ages, total dps rather seems on the lower end, specifically due to a fact that it is not a crit build. But there lies another problem, if I aim to go crit, there goes my survivability down the drain, since I have to sacrifice life for the sake of crit, which would, in return, probably kill me on reflect. May I ask you, the one who made this thread, is there any way that this Scion could perform on higher end damage to tackle the end of the endgame, or if you were to be forced to go crit route, how would you do it? I kinda really wish to play a Scion BV, but whatever I do, I never pass the 200k mark with 20 blades (boss/shaper/guardians), and I really feel that it would not be enough, and that fact alone keeps me from starting the build, because I lie in fear that it would not be enough. If I may be mistaken, I would like to stand corrected by you or community. And if I am not mistaken, I would highly appreciate if you could make a crit variation of this Scion which still has decent survivability, or just pretty much give some advice? EDIT: https://pastebin.com/FwF4uiqz This is the best I could think of (path of building code), it has around 530k dps on shaper/guardians selected, 740k with conc effect, buffed, of course. All affordable gear, nothing too crazy (ideal gear would yield around 1.3-1.5 mil in total on shaper/guardians selected, but it is nothing but a dream). May I ask on your opinion over it? How do you think something like this would fare? Problem is, I would have to rely solely on vaal pact and nothing else, and with carcass or incandescent, I would barely hit 5.7k life, which feels quite on the lower end of life spectrum (even though the tree has 196% inc life I think) I know Templar Inquisitor would have probably double the damage output, but I really want a scion, even at her mediocrity. Also, if anyone else would have constructive advice that includes Scion and BV, I'd be happy to discuss the possible ways of building her.

" I wasn't the OP here, but most of my gear is average at best - I'm doing absolutely fine so far (albeit, still leveling) but once my gear improves, the damage will improve. Also, that 179k is with inc aoe. i didn't check conc dps which is on me, but i can see it being a fair bit higher. In all honesty, this build can maybe do shaper with really good gear to cover up some of the inherent weakness that being a scion brings, but that would be endgame. The build, on a whole, is completely fine to do most everything else I think (except maybe uber atziri) on a very cheap budget - I spent 240c (approximately) on all my gear excluding biscos (which I already had). |

Yeah with a bit of investment you can reach really high dps with this build. I opted to go for the cheap route with gear that anyone just starting out could get their hands on.
Templar does indeed do more damage once you go full ele conversion, the reason for Scion is mainly the pathfinder and flask management and a bit more fun in group play due to necromancer aura. I haven´t done much lately due to work and right now I am also working on my Shadow ingame due to the rip. Once I RIP this shadow I will be rerolling to my Scion again and update with better gear and the high budget version since I now have the currency to go all in. Going the poison route is still an option as well even though I haven´t tried it out myself in 3.0. |

This is an updated version that has a lot better gear and using Atziris and Vaal Lightning Trap for bosses. It has slightly over 1million dps during flask and trap. It also uses Opal rings and an insanely good dagger. Some more damage could be boosted by rings and necklace but then we would be getting close to mirror worthy gear.

Thank you both, for the input.
That already feels a lot better, and seems a tad bit safer against reflect because it is not a crit build, with higher life than my proposed one. I opted for Scion specifically because I haven't played Scion since they day she was released, where I initially played her in couple of builds, and then stopped, because later on she felt so much weaker than other classes. But I came to want to give another go at Scion mediocrity, just because I haven't played her for very long. Thus I opted for BV, since it was always a mighty boss killer machine, even after all the nerfs, and since I haven't played BV for a year, so I checked around and found this. With your update, since it's decently "late" into league, items should be fairly "affordable" Yeah, ideally I would go for the Essence of hysteria crafted Opal rings, and for weapons my aim was to use Pepretuum until Divinarius, into Doryani's Catalyst then farm up for high end spell dagger. As for the poison route, while it is an option, I don't feel it's worth it, as confirmed by most of my friends as well. In their words, it is much safer and stronger to kill something as fast as possible instead of waiting for a poison to tick down, and with poison you won't have enough upfront damage to leech properly. How much of it is true, I cannot confirm, might be worth giving it a go just for the sake of testing it, but I am unsure. All in all, I highly appreciate your input, I thank you for sharing. Cheers mate! |

Glad I could help.
I definitely think just sticking with a divinarius is fine; doryani's is probably not needed. Leveling has been so easy, and I don't even have that great of gear (feel free to check it, i linked it all up above) I'll probably just upgrade as I go - I'm thoroughly enjoying this build, so I may push it to the limits as far as I can honestly. |

How come you don't take path of the witch or Path of the ranger since it gives +2 passive skill. rather than taking the +1 passive skill at witch and ranger.
