Scion start is awful as all the starting nodes there are worse than other class starting areas. You need to gain some additional efficiency from pathing to make up for the inferior nodes.

In regards to flame totem build, it doesn't seem any worse or better than maurader tbh.

maurader start with some of the main nodes that I'm looking to hit.

the only difference just seems to be some of the starting nodes.


Why wouldn't you go through Warriors blood? I understand you're playing a safe build, but those are still efficient life nodes. You're saving two skill points to give up several life/regen nodes plus easy access to several more 6%s. If you don't end up going to Heart of the Warrior at some point then you're playing CI or have a terrible build.

I think the Witch start is preferable though. You end up wasting a lot of nodes between the marauder start and getting to the edge. With the Witch you get to the edge by picking up fire damage and life nodes and can cycle around the tree down to Ancestral Bond picking up all the good nodes along the way (whispers of doom and the life nodes). You're going to end up at the Scion wheel so there are plenty of life nodes that you don't need to go hunting up to the Marauder start area (although you could end up there anyway if you want to get really tanky).

Now that I think about it witch definitely has a nice progression for the build, but I don't think the scion vs maurader start is as big as you make it out to be.

You can decide if a skillpoint or two of optimization is a big deal to you or not. It is to me

Anyone else think curse on hit is awesome. With a 4l you can proc 2 curse while AT THE SAME TIME triggering ee for your main spell. Plus at high lvl coh has increased effect. Too op to pass up

Are masters localized in normal missions? In the docks, I have encountered Vagan and Tora several times without encountering any other masters.

I don't think they are. They definitely are not in docks, I've farmed docks for masters and have run into the 6 of them there.

Super RNG I didn't find a zana over 2 days of mapping then it started raining zana's briefly after that.

If you haven't encountered her yet I recommend just begging her daily off of friends/guildmates until you can get her to level 2, whereupon you can put her in your hideout and everything's fine.

I did the same in standard. Had some luck in Beyond and found her three times on my first 5 maps. But it's really RNG, sometime I find her 5 times a day, today I ran 10+ maps and didn't encounter her once.
Today I also failed my daily. Had a 60% Fleet + 41% packsize map. Not too bad, although packsize can work against you in beyond. I cleared the whole map (had the objective relatively early) and found an Arcanist Strongbox. It had freeze on it, so I thought I would just log out. I did, but I couldn't return the quest then anymore. Fun fact: The box didn't even include monsters. Last thing I saw when I logged out as all the currency drops and I felt so stupid for not noticing that it didn't had an implicit.

I hate all timed master quests. It's pretty much asking for your character to desync and die.

Knowing which quests to not do is an important skill.

I've probably run over 50 maps and only gotten Zana once

Not that rare. It's definitely a gamble but not necessarily bad expected value. Most of the implicits that you can roll are worth it (barring maybe +1 vaal gems or w/e) and you only lose the 6-link if it re-rolls to rare aka complete brick which isn't that high a percentage chance.

To clarify, the 3 possible outcomes are
1) Only a new implicit: an implicit is added. See the wiki for the list of possible ones for chests.
2) Nothing: the chest becomes corrupted with no other change
3) re-roll to rare: the sockets and links are rerolled at random, as well as random rare affixes (not only does this ignore the normal socket/link # probability, I believe it also ignores the probability on affixes. Aka 1socket is equally likely as 6socket, and certain super-rare affixes like tyrannical or 6% life leech or chaos res are as likely as any other).

yeah, if I can actually sell it! beyond is so stingy lately.

Maybe I'll just use it myself and RIP away my most valuable item.
