Is it possible to adapt this build for a Scion?

Yes it is possible, you would want to take raider, then either take assasin or slayer. Ranger start, you will have 5 extra points to play with cluster jewels or take more damage on tree

I gotta say that I regret using this build in Delirium league, not because this guide is bad, on the contrary, I think it's flawless (I have played Ice Shot builds before and I think this is the better one).

The problem is Delirium spawning mobs around you and OHKO specially on how low HP this build have (all Ice Shot builds have) and Evasion/Dodge not doing much to prevent them.

People is mentioning they are getting OHKO in Reddit with other buidls too, but I think this build low survivability makes things even worse for me.

Thanks for the feedback.

I have not properly started this league yet but I agree with your assessment. Crit/ele builds only shines when you have some decent gear, at early stages even into yellow maps is quite rippy. No idea why this league is rippy even if they said only health of monsters is buffed.

With 5 to 5.5k HP, solely relying on evasion and dodge means you will die if the ocasional big hit gets through.

From what I gathered from reddit feedback, mobs do increase in damage and also get damage reduction (not health scale) as you progress deeper, and that also negatively affects leech-related builds because damage reduction reduces leech while "bigger hp on mobs" wouldn't. Although I don't play a leech build so can't confirm / deny but if it's true, it would impact this build survivability in delirium.

Take it with a grain of salt, but overall the league is rippy and many people suggest dropping out of delirium mode early instead of trying to go deepest possible asap.

Hello, i'm new in this game, i would like to follow ur build, but i don't see where did you put ur skilltree.

Can you explain me please ?

This build is for all content, but deinitely NOT league start friendly.
I highly regret using it for league start, anyone doing 3.10 content should avoid this build and guide for league start.

Raider vs Deadeye for this season?

What do you guys think? More survivability

HI!
I don't get one think. Why use Damage on Full Life?
If we get hit but any random projectal then we won't have bonus from this gem. Am I right?

Hi,

Thanks for the guide, very clearly written.
I have two questions:
1) what's the best gem to replace Dmg on full life? Would it be added cold damage?
2) what is the Strenght and Intelligence requirement to use gems in this build (can someone who is mapping check this please, want to make sure i don't end up lacking stats after buying gear :) )
I understand we don't use lvl 20 frost bomb for example.

Raider tankier, Deadeye faster and more dmg

yes, but that rarely happens, with life leech, high evade dodge and instant life flask, any damage you take will be healed back to full almost instantly.

replace dmg on full life with cold pen

I am a bit confused. My Ice shot gem (solo, no links) does more damage than my barrage with 2 supports.. Why use barrage at all for single target, isn't ice shot on 6L simply doing more damage? (a lot more).
What am I missing. I used this build some time ago but without barrage just Ice S. everything including bosses. Frenzy (charges) is important and I used Frenzy skill to generate them or sometimes kill bosses (but usually didn't bother). I understand bosses now have more life (a lot more) but still, Barrage? Over Frenzy? Again, what am I missing?

Do not trust tooltips.

Barrage tooltip is for a single arrow.

I have 100k barrage tool tip and 450k ice shot, but I fire 14 arrows with barrage so it is actualy, 1.4m.
