[3.15] For Scion - Ngamahu's Flame Cyclone / Consecrated Path / Tectonic Slam



"
This build is a spin off from the Slayer version.

Kudos to @Ezevade's tweak (from Elementalist to Raider and +1 Frenzy charge) to the build, the build is now final.

I have been testing Scion class in patch 3.0 and since a number of players have asked me if Slayer version will work for Scion. Here it is.

The following information should be enough for people who want to farm Uber lab all day long as a Scion.

No obligation but if you want to show your appreciation, you can

Uber Lab Clear
Spoiler
Thank you @ezevade for providing the Uber Lab screenshot.

"
The Uber lab run was made using gears moved over from his Slayer character (except the rings, his character level is too low to equip them).

At level 70, Scion's Cyclone damage is already at the same level as his level 90 Slayer.

Thank you @ezevade for providing guardian kill videos!

Scion was level 80 when these videos were made.

Offense Stats

Cyclone Damage: Golem + Herald of Ash Only
"


Cyclone Damage: Golem + Herald of Ash + Wise Oak + Taste of Hate + Lion's Roar + Dying Sun + Warchief + Blood Rage (Full combo without Frenzy charges)
"


Molten Burst: Golem + Herald of Ash Only
"


Defense Stats


Required Gears
Spoiler
"

Free Molten Burst that does impressive damage with huge AOE granting high clear speed. Requires 0 link. You just want to pop support gems into this weapon to buff Molten Burst.

Recommended Gears
Spoiler
"

Pick between Tombfist or Belt of Deceiver for Intimidate damage buff. Personally I will pick Belt of Deceiver over Tombfist.

"

Provides the overleech from Slayer. Without life and resist rolls are it's biggest drawback.

"

Extra fire damage and life recovery. Hard to beat if you have both in 1 amulet.

"

Provides very good damage boost to the build when you run Anger aura.

If you are not able to obtain the above stats, prioritize "Gain #% physical damage as extra fire damage while affected by Anger".

"

Provides attack speed, movement speed, dexterity and chaos resistance.

"
Astral Plate chest

Preferred Warlord mod:
1. Socketed Attacks have -15 to Total Mana Cost (suffix)

Preferred additional Hunter mod:
1. Attacks have +1.#% to critical strike chance (suffix)
2. You can apply an additional curse (prefix)

Refer to Recommended Rares for crafting instructions.

"

Up to 50% increased Cyclone damage, 25% increased attack speed, 10% increased movement speed. You can run with 5L. Main drawback is the lack of defense stats.

Bronn's Lithe provides great damage buff to the build. Thanks to @Lunartuna for testing it out.

"

Increased AOE, great clear speed, comes with all resist and decent life.

"

Belly's large life pool couple with Windshriek's (fated version of Windscream) +1 curse (for Enfeeble), you can easily reach effective life pool of 8300. Great setup when you are focused on leveling.

Cons: You have to skip hexproof maps as curse do not work on the mobs.

"

Similar to Belly + Windscream, Cospri's Will with Enfeeble works great for leveling and your curses work in hexproof maps too.

Cons: Lower effective life pool as compared to Belly + Windscream combo

"

NOTE: A medium warcry cluster jewel with Mob Mentality + Cry Wolf will be superior over this.


29% chance to gain endurance charge on kill. A lazy man approach to gain endurance charges without self casting Enduring Cry.

This jewel is pure luxury.

You socket the jewel near Barbarism node as shown:



Special thanks to @Metallicalf for pointing out that you don't have to pick Diamond Skin to benefit from it.

First One hah.
Nice to see your new Build Guide.
I like your slayer version alot.
Scion version looks good so far, too.

I enjoy your builds hope we get more :)
GL HF
I'm using your slayer build currently in Harbinger. I may give this one at try too, since I have most of the gear already :)

Any pastebin link? Or a Character using the build we can import to path of building?

You can use Voidheart as long as you are not running Avatar of Fire (or using Xoph's Blood).

The skill tree to use for Voidheart will be the same skill tree as Xoph's Blood but without Xoph's Blood amulet.

I would recommend you to go for Avatar of Fire skill tree if you do not yet own Xoph's Blood amulet because AoF gives better damage as compared to Voidheart. You will need to re-spec your skill tree when you get your hands on Xoph's Blood.
For one who haven't tested the slayer build and want to test this out. What would you recommend using, Slayer or Scion? Pros / cons?

Thanks!

I can afford both but can't decide between Brons and Carcass, do you think carcass would win out since it buffs the balls more vs cyclone dmg on brons? Chroming will be an adventure of its own LOL
