Apologies if this question is too basic, but just came back after a long time, had a 75 scion and no build, and decided to try this.

You said you use Anger-ArticArmor-HoI, were in your sockets do you keep Anger?

Spoiler

- 3L: Cast when Damage Taken Level 3 - Temporal Chains Level 7 - Herald of ice
- 3L: Tempest Shield - Blind - Arctic Armor
- 4L: Cast when Damage Taken Level 1 - Ball Lightning Level 1 - Firestorm/Glacial Cascade Level 1 - GMP
- 4L: Whirling Blades - Fortify - Faster Attacks - Blood Magic
- 4L: Abyssal Cry - Increased AOE - Vaal Haste - Increased Duration
- 5/6L: Incinerate - Spell Echo - Life Leech - Fire Penetration - LMP/Slower Projectiles - Faster Casting (6L Option)

There is simply no room for Anger, and I'm wondering if it has been dropped altogether

He was using a Unset Ring for it.

Yotmato,

how you handle Elemeantal Reflect maps?

Thanks for the info.

Nothing special, with 30+ spell block they are non issue, if you watch the last video i posted, it was a reflect map, and even when i hit several merveil adds it doesnt do anything

Yes and your THREE different guides are pretty different from the original ones
In any case I'm muddling through trying to intersect the new trees at some point with whatever respec points and Regrets I can get.

Such is life.

Don't get me wrong, the leveling part is just a guideline, i strongly do not recommend that you waste respec points and regrets to respec a leveling tree, its just not efficient and a waste, go with what you have, and if theres things you don't like, you learn for the next time, its how the game works.

I know it sounds self-contradictory when i'm posting a guide myself, but experimenting and failing is the best way of playing this game, theres a trillion more ways to level other than those 3 i posted. If you ask me, I could even make a melee leveling tree that switches to deaths harp at 32 and faceroll the game until maps, and then do the respec, i hope you get my point.

This is why I made the leveling part very vague in the first place, and even now, the leveling part of the guide is just what i personally have experience with, i know people have leveled the build in different ways, and is very hard for me to say whats the "best". I finally caved in to expand it a bit cause people were asking for it, but is not meant to be "level this way or the build will fail" if you know what I mean.

I leveled up in Tempest with the original leveling trees and it worked for me. Just used flame totem with blind and added lightning, firestorm up until lvl22 where I bought a -7 mana cost ring from Elreon and I'm still using it at lvl61. If you want me I can PM you the passive tree I had at certain levels. At lvl61 I am 3 points away from the 3 important keystones and I already have all the life nodes which is great for hc leagues.

Question to yotmato: when taking the block nodes, which cluster is the best one to go for first? Just briefly looking at them I thought the priority would look like this: Testudo (5 points for 9%) -> Solidity (4 points for 6%) -> Command of Steel (3 points for 4%) -> Scion nodes (4 points for 4, fuck that melee node, not sure why there is no way to pick those block nodes from Sentinel :-/). Am I correct?

Insta RIP in Tora mission vs a pack of monekys. Vaal molten shell is not to be joked with.

Sounds about right, except i rate Scion nodes a bit higher, because I value the block recovery pretty highly.

A death I had while doing Uber Trio, was when only one of them was alive, and there was a constant stream of titty bitch adds spawning, at one point there was so many that I died stunlocked by my own blocks :). Its an extreme example, of course, but you get my point.
