Scion Builds List - *Closed* New list is linked in the first post!

Attention Exiles,

there is a new Build List.
NEW LIST by Tzikk

Thank you Tzikk for tkaing care of our beloved Scions!

I contacted the support to make the new List as a sticky one.


Please check his List out and ask him to add your build if yours isn't listed yet.



Thank you for your patience.

yours

Bison



TL;DR

I resign my duty. I need some brave soul to take care over the build lists.


###

I decided to let the 3.1 Builds in the list. As far as I have time I'll update the list accordingly.


###

Hello Exiles, my name is Bison.
I have the honour to take care of the Scion Buildlist.
If you have any suggestions, let me know! Every feedback is very welcome.
You maybe want to know what I'am playing this league?

Please keep in mind, I'm still working on the style of this list.

##Placeholder - Maybe a nice Header?##

Newcomers, check out the 3rd post here for some tips & tricks! :)

I wanted to thank Gazza732 for his dedication and his very valuable time.



What is needed to be featured in this list?

Your build/guide should contain more then your gear and a skill tree. A bit more detail would be nice. If possible a leveling section would highly appreciated (for our beginners).
I will not contain any pure theory crafted builds, every build should at least made it to maps.


How do I submit my Build?
Just post it in the thread. I will appreciate if you write a few words about it too.
Please do not send me a PM with your build, this will go out of hand with 3 Build Lists. :)


NEW ADDITION: I will only contain properly named builds.

To keep things clear and easy, I won't add "clickbaity" parts to the list.


Note: Every build creator can name it guide as he wants. I just won't add those things anymore to the list or at least alter it accordingly!

These two offline planners (both are very good) will help you to plan your builds. THis may needs some indepth knowledge of PoE.

[3.0] Scionic Flametank "Soul of Arakali" (ES-CI-ZO-GR, SR-CWC-FS, 50-70% ES/s recovery)

You asked for a few words about the build, and the shortest I can do that tells experienced players what it is all about is exactly the one-line build title above, perhaps with BER-TRI appended somewhere,

As I'm unsure which categories you are looking for I've provided further information below so you can pick and choose.

Leaguestarter viable: NO. Too many required uniques
Solo self found viable: NO. Too many required uniques
Hardcore viable: YES, with modification of skill tree during early leveling
Beginner friendly: YES, the skill threshold is low
Labyrinth friendly: YES, neither Izaro, Argus, nor traps can deal with regeneration tanks
Ascendancy: BER-TRI, but it can optionally be run as OCC-TRI
Main skill: Scorching Ray - Cast while Channeling - Firestorm
Main defense: Energy Shield

Design goals: To facetank nearly everything, be able to go AFK nearly everywhere, and clear maps in reasonable time

Build highlights: It combines extreme ES (for 3.0, that is: I'm up to 14k ES so far at level 93 in Harbinger) built through strength via Geofri's Sanctuary + Shaper's Touch with good regeneration and leech that is supported by two separate recovery boosting mechanics (Arakali + Trickster). It also does very good damage for a tank build due to Doon Cuebiyari and the Iron Will support turning its main source of ES (strength) into its main source of damage as well.

[3.0][HC] Tri Dark Pact Totems ~1M+ DPS~ 8k+ EHP~ Cheap and beginner friendly~ All content viable

Well, it's a soul mantle (tri totem) Dark pact build for HC. Shaper and guardians done on HHC with it.

Mainly built for general map clearing (getting attack speed over damage) but the single target is still very high.(I'm currently at around 1.4M against shaper).

Guardian/Assassin for ascendant choice.

I saw the two builds, I'll try to add them later on. I have still alot of work to do with the list itself.

Well, you've gone way ahead of what I usually get to work with. :D Thank you.

I added your build to the list. I shortend the name to provide a better readability.

Scorching Ray: BER - TRI [3.0] Scionic Flametank "Soul of Arakali" (SR-CwC-FS)

I add the other build a bit later, this one was a test for now.

Scorching Ray: BER - TRI [3.0] Scionic Flametank "Soul of Arakali" (SR-CwC-FS)

While more readable, it does unfortunately get rid of most of the information to the reader about what the build is really about (the tankiness, not the spell chosen for the 3.0 version of the build).

So if that's roughly the length you want, I'd suggest getting rid of my build designation for the 3.0 version of the venerable Scionic Flametank build, "Soul of Arakali", in favour of a short flavour text that tells the player what makes this build fundamentally different from most other SR-CwC-FS builds.

Scorching Ray: BER - TRI [3.0] Scionic Flametank (SR-CwC-FS, extreme ES regeneration/leech)

-- I dislike using words such as extreme to describe a build, but given that without BIS gear I achieve substantially higher ES than the theoretical max BIS ES builds people were talking about in the forums when 3.0's ES nerfs became known, and more ES/s recovery than ever before, it does seem to be one that fits the occasion.

While I agree with the information part, I disagree at the same point. :)

For now I will change it to your favour, but maybe change it later on again, when there are more builds in the list.

I could work with [3.0] Scionic Flametank (SR-CwC-FS, ES regeneration & leech)


I personally would also avoid words like Extreme, hyper, Super and so on.

Added

Dark Pact Totems: ASS - GUA [3.0][HC] Tri Dark Pact Totems ~1M+ DPS~ 8k+ EHP


Also shortend for the readability.
