My reasoning for the resist nodes is that the scion projectile nodes are weaker than any other projectile nodes on the skilltree, and I use my melee attack quite a lot, especially for bursting down bosses/corrupting blood. And extra resist is always a good thing, maybe at some point I can swap out purity with either grace or determination, even though I have about 6k armor w\o molten shell/flasks some extra is always nice, especially vs offscreen turbo charge. If you're going with that logic you should run duelist instead. You only have to go through two melee physical nodes and one of them even gives 12 life. You won't be able to pick up Harrier, but you're saving a ton of points. It is too easy to cap resists to take inefficient points like 18% of one resistance; even the diamond skin nodes that give 12 all often get respeced once your build fills out. I do like that your build doesn't take wrecking ball though, such an overrated cluster ^_^ | ||

Cyclone > Multistrike (many attack speed) > cast on crit > etheral knives > added fire Cast on Damage Taken > Ice Spear > GMP > Power charge on crit Reduced Mana > Clarity > Hatred > (grace maybe can fit?) Weapon setup dagger and shield. Something with the base crit and high phy/spell. Would get Iron Reflexes, Point Blank, Mind Drinker, and a lot of life + dagger crit nodes. So cyclone would cast itself three times and should regen from the physical mana leech to continue using it. With multistrike it's attacking at a ridiculous speed so the cast on crit EK should proc a lot, and with point blank it should shred!? Does this sound viable or would this just end up being a disaster? Any advice appreciated. : ) | ||

If you're going to use it then it needs to cast a curse or some other support spell so that you're casting the spell but still getting damage frames. Having enough crit to make that worthwhile seems highly unlikely though. | ||

Do you use mana leech gems or how many flasks do you drink during a fight with yellow/orange mob? | ||

Looks like it works good and he's running Cyclone -> Cast on Crit -> EK -> Arc -> Life Leech Instead of arc which will only hit three targets, I think multistrike would be more effective for more point blank point blank EKs. EDIT: Just learned how cyclone crit works. The first hit determines the rest, so if it crits once all hits are crits. That might dampen my multistrike idea. Anyone know if each multistrike resets the chance to crit? | ||

Skill tree is very similar to what I've been coming up with, too. I just didn't think to add EK more than once LOL | ||

So I got my prism Guardian/Alpha's howl 7 aura's build going. Its pretty good. I swapped out of 2hmace (had about 10 nodes invested in mace dmg OOPS) since I have to use a shield. My dps went up by half with 0 dmg nodes now though  My only problem is i'm level 80 so I don't get many more nodes but I really need Inner force, Elemental Adaptation, Catalyze (WED in general) and a lot of life  Too many travel nodes or something. Still, really looking forward to my gems hitting level 20 though (all 15-18 atm ) | ||

Didn't race myself as I watch Blizzcon, though. If Scion isn't best then I except Mara to become a lot more popular as it got buffed and was already almost on par with Duelist last season. | ||

I don't think one race is anywhere near a good enough sample size to make overall statements, but here are my predictions. Imo from best to worst Marauder/Duelist, Scion, Templar/Ranger, Shadow, Witch Marauder, Duelist, and Scion all get Leap Slam after Brutus which might just be the best gem hands down for short races. At the very least all of the Roccat races seemed to prove this for the 1H races. Ranger requires a bit of early luck to find an iron ring/quiver so that it can get to RoA as fast as possible, but seems to be very solid after that. Witch is almost entirely reliant on finding a +1 cold gem wand to be able to compete with the other classes (And then being able to link Ice Nova/FP inside of that wand.) | ||
