Cool build, top notch Scion usage! I'm thinking of using your tree, but for Shockwave Totem instead. I'll just change pierce nodes/gem with AoE nodes/gem and I'll have 1 free socket to fill. Also, if anyone prefers that, you can grab inc. power charge duration instead of 10 strength in the Ancestral Bonds area for some easier power charge sustain.
"With at least 40 Dexterity in Radius" You don't need to spec into the dex nodes it just needs to be in the radius. and that spot in the scion starting area has 40 exactly.
Why not go into Acrobatics for 2 pts, since you got no es barely any armour/es i feel like thats really efficient! Anyway nice build a good looking tree with the path of the shadow :)
Mmmmm, Acro would be 3 additional points, but I didn't even think of it, it's not a bad idea. I might do that for lvl 91 rather than grabbing the last 2 life nodes and the last totem life node.
hey there! with the extrem changes to pierce, wouldnt it be wise to swap pierce gem with some other, maybe the arcane one? as soon as we got the pierce nodes
what I don't get, why you have still the selfcast EK in slots if you cant cast them cause of encestral bond? or did I missed a mechanic of this passive? 🤔
Since his main skill only needs a 4-link essence of insanity, why not just grab the best hp chest in the game? I'm trying to think of a 6-link set up that would genuinely help this build out more than a Kaom's Heart.
I haven't tried it past T12s yet. I think you could push it pretty far if you got some really sick wands and probably traded Karui Ward for A spell dmg/crit chance/crit multi amulet.
Hi +ImTheWinningest I'm following your build. Just hit lv 66 and so far did the first ascendancy. Problem is I have 21 skill points that I'm saving for the shadow path. Should I do something with them or just keep saving them?
mate, path over there - costs 12 points. when u get ur ubers done u can refund all the dex nodes along the way and invest in pierce or crit. as for the int. just get some on gear
What Icarus said, just path over to the shadow start and respec after you do uber lab. You will get enough int for high-end wands in the shadow area. This is Zambash btw, just on other account lol.
Thanks for replying! I got to lv 90 and it has been fun. Now thinking of starting a marauder warchief. You think the warchief build is better than EK totem scion?
take a look at the poe shop, Alternate Skill Effects Ethereal Stars Effect Ethereal Stars Effect Replaces the standard knife effects on an Ethereal Knives gem with spinning, black throwing stars.
ohh i see, i juste did, thank you very much, hey i have another question and sorry to bother you, how can i go take the thief skills? is locked for me, and right now i have 18 point left to use. im lvl 65 and i love this build, im farming for my next character and is easy.
As explained in the video, you need to finish uber-lab (Can be only finished if you find all the uber alters in maps.) before you can use the shadow skill tree path. So the only way until then is to just path straight to the shadow area, and waste 10+ skill points doing so, and then later use regret orbs to get the wasted points back.
Just head left, then head right lol, I don't put too much thought into it while leveling, the game is so easy now you can level doing w/e with your tree.

This looks dope i just wish i new more about the game to actually do it haha
Seems like a perfect use for Kaom's Heart chest.. though I guess it's meant to be a budget build
Timo Rutanen a budget build which can't really be played before uber lab asc nodes "._. had to buy a carry.
Really? I did uber lab myself at like level 74. It's rlly easy with totems.
How do you use ring of blades if you have like no dex inside the area?
@imthewinningest have you tried this build since the release of the shimmeron wands? It seems like this would work really well with it.
Build looks nice for fast clearing, whats your tooltip dps?
Each totem is something like 51k with level 19 gems.
"With 40 dexterity allocated in radius."
Has 5 dexterity allocated.
Wat.
"With at least 40 Dexterity in Radius"
You don't need to spec into the dex nodes it just needs to be in the radius. and that spot in the scion starting area has 40 exactly.
That's very impressive considering you are still using a 4l
technicaly its a 5l with the essence on the helmet - it gives more bonus dmg then added fire gem
Why not go into Acrobatics for 2 pts, since you got no es barely any armour/es i feel like thats really efficient! Anyway nice build a good looking tree with the path of the shadow :)

Hey, man. Did you try out this build in 3.0? Any changes you would make to it? Cool concept, cheers.
Bandits in 3.0?
Do this on 2 void batteries
I think I would miss the projectile speed.
gj, keep it up ;)
hey there! with the extrem changes to pierce, wouldnt it be wise to swap pierce gem with some other, maybe the arcane one? as soon as we got the pierce nodes
No, Pierce gem is amazing now, keep the gem and drop the nodes.
why not put pcoc in ur botb?
what I don't get, why you have still the selfcast EK in slots if you cant cast them cause of encestral bond? or did I missed a mechanic of this passive? 🤔
you can cast them, you can't deal damage.
They just don't deal damage, but can still apply curses with curse on hit, and crit for the sake of PCoC.
in that place the jewel doesnt have 40 dex??? or do i miss something??
Probably missing that the 2 little starting nodes on the south side of the scion have 5 dex each.
Why is Kaom's heart needed? o_o wouldn't a 6 link chest be better overall ...?
Since his main skill only needs a 4-link essence of insanity, why not just grab the best hp chest in the game? I'm trying to think of a 6-link set up that would genuinely help this build out more than a Kaom's Heart.
6-link doesn't buy you much, I like using Belly cuz then I have room for another utility setup, but kaom's isn't needed.
How much further have you gone with this build? I'm loving the current playsyle, but I feel as if I'll have a dead end.
What's the red jewel that you do not show near the passive strength
Just somethin with like life, proj dmg, etc. If you go download the Atlas of Builds image linked in the video descrip you can see my jewels.
As you say this is only farmer have you tried pushing it to end game? is this viable at end game? t16 or shaper have you try to push it?
I haven't tried it past T12s yet. I think you could push it pretty far if you got some really sick wands and probably traded Karui Ward for A spell dmg/crit chance/crit multi amulet.
do you help or kill bandits?
Oak - Kill - Alira
okay, thanks mate :)
Hi +ImTheWinningest I'm following your build. Just hit lv 66 and so far did the first ascendancy. Problem is I have 21 skill points that I'm saving for the shadow path. Should I do something with them or just keep saving them?
Also, got some wands but can't use them due to low INT. How is it possible to wear them?
mate, path over there - costs 12 points. when u get ur ubers done u can refund all the dex nodes along the way and invest in pierce or crit.
as for the int. just get some on gear

The clear won't be as fast but it will absolutely be a better boss killer.
please i put the same gems linked, and why is my totem ethereal knifes not like yours? i mean mine are not the same effect
Do you have the "Ring Of Blades" jewel?
take a look at the poe shop, Alternate Skill Effects
Ethereal Stars Effect Ethereal Stars Effect
Replaces the standard knife effects on an Ethereal Knives gem with spinning, black throwing stars.

What's the black square in the middle-bottom of your screen?
It was my webcam but it was late at night and the darkness just turned the thing into a pixelated blur.
@ImTheWinningest Chain is bad because it cant chain mate. Pierce is also useless as it automatically pierces
Sam Munson it can chain.
Unfortunately you are completely wrong on both of those points.
Is it hardcore viable?
I don't see why not, though I would probably level with something other than EK.
Do you have a proper build guide?
I can't zoom in to see the build
Go to the deviantart link in the description, click download to get the full size image.
That helped but I also mean like a wrtten guide for skill tree like the usual first 30 points then 30-60 etc. Really keen to play this.
Me too
Just head left, then head right lol, I don't put too much thought into it while leveling, the game is so easy now you can level doing w/e with your tree.
what did you do for bandits?
There's an annotation right at the start of the video, Oak - Kill - Alira
ok ty.
1 more question why Controled destruction when you want to crit?
Id like to know this too, also while leveling self cast EK what single target skill did you use for bosses?
Do you think that by 40 you can convert to totems, or when you grab Heriophant?
