While I've only played a few builds, I've never felt constrained in any of those at any point. Maybe "trash" is too strong a word, but I think we can all agree that when you look for items those modifiers rarely play a part in the search. | ||

I have 0 experience leveling it as a first character and getting it setup to farm a bit before I can afford the build I am going for. So Sunder and spend first C I find to buy a high Phy one handed or two handed weapon? | ||

Hmm I guess if life mod is trashed for all non-life builds, flat dmg trash for all non-attack builds, elemental dmg with attk trash for all non-attack elemental builds, armor trash for eva builds, then I guess mana& regen are trashed for non-MoM builds. Like come on it's less niche than minion mod and no one says those are trashed. It just for a semi-niche defense mechanism. | ||

One handers are the better choice (axe or mace) and a stat stick (something with attack speed - you will see this in all guides as axes have low AS inherently). Even with Blood rage, two handers feel clunky, especially in the beginning because you will have little AS. While leveling, just do physical damage recipe if you are unlucky with drops. 4 link sunder easily takes you to maps. One totem and the range of the skill means you're pretty safe most of the times. Can easily transition later into two handers and cyclone. No need to buy weapons, you will either find better, get one from guild stash or easily craft something decent. | ||

@nukem1 - regarding stat sticks, the attack speed on them does not matter when you are using sunder. it only uses the main hand to deal damage, so you want attack speed on that. stat sticks are usually stuff like tempestuous steel, prismatic eclipse, or shaper sticks, things that give global damage | ||

I'm not a fan. Yeah it looks, like, okay in a few places but by no means impressive. The left and bottom Scion sockets seem pretty decent if you're taking both the life wheel and some other sockets (can get 10% life plus some crit multi, AoE, regen, resists, 1% block, etc., depending on which other nodes you fill out). | ||

In which case scion life wheel nodes would go from 5->7%, although if you had two jewels they'd nicely go from 5->10% for the ones hit twice. | ||

*edit* In those slots in particular, it looks like using two of them might be decent, and that would fix your rounding problems (since you'd hit 100% increased effect of the nodes where the radii overlap). If your start looks like this: https://poeplanner.com/AAsAADUACwAAABe-vLM_T1Ye34LkkBF7w9hNlKDaYhhWaHT56EGHtz7-Cti9NZLyRTrhpldN4_6PAAAAAAA= ...then each jewel would be providing:
...with Shaper being the only notable you're missing out on. That seems competitive with a rare jewel for some builds, though not OP by any means. | ||

Worth noting that this disables the Hired Killer and True Strike life/crit notables that are pretty good for the builds that it would be best suited for (since if you double-jewelled up the scion life wheel it makes the scion start nodes quite useable and it makes the scion crit multi nodes 30% multi each for the first two | ||
