Looking for a build that can run any map, any mod - and it seems this build has really the best chances.

Here's my max block, marauder buzzsaw build.

It's doable with scion too, i just like marauder better.

You get 75% block with remorse or 4% amulet.

You sacrifise DPS for max block, but its worth it being able to do double-ele reflect packs NP.

Any input on if people think this will be viable? i'd like to put out at least 10k dps

I seriously doubt you'll be able to get 10k dps with that build, unless you have godlike gear. You're missing a ton of elemental damage, as well as projectile damage. Not to mention the significant lack of attack speed (one attack speed node gave me over 200 dps increase and my gear is still pretty meh and my auras are still level 18).

As a side node, I'd never do spectral throw without the 2 projectile speed nodes. The extra range is an incredible quality of life improvement, and it could potentially increase survivability as well.

Will it be viable? Sure, anything can be viable, in theory. I just don't think you'll be able to pull the dps you're looking for. :/

That said, I wouldn't know for sure, as I haven't tried it myself. I'm not smart enough to calculate / theorycraft the dps you'll get at the end.

I think you might've missed the elemental nodes in the top shadow cluster. That single cluster has a lot of elemental damage.

But honestly, I don't know. I just know that as level 79 I still only have 7.2k dps with Mathil's suggested Scion build, with all of the damage nodes taken already. This tells me that you'll need fairly good gear to get similar dps with less damage nodes (or at least 20/20 gems).

The best way to tell really, would be to try it out. :)

Whats your gear like? and do you run a 6 link?

I don't play softcore leagues, so i think max block is going to be pretty important for this build to do well.

You can find my gear linked at the top of this page (the massive wall of text post :P), it hasn't changed since then, because I've not had time to play.

At the moment I don't have a 6 link, but the 6th link most likely wouldn't add any damage, as it'd probably be life leecH (not running leech atm, because I don't really seem to need it, again this would be different if I was on hardcore).

Also, as long as you get a lightning coil, I don't really think you need max block to do well with this build in hardcore. We have pretty decent health pools and incredible attack speed to whirling blades around with. If I play it safe, I pretty much never get hit by anything.

I would be interested in seeing the results of your build though, so if you plan on leveling it, I'd like to know how well you do. :)
