As a cursed player, yes.

Hi,

I am starting this build as a Scion (Level 75 now). My passive is shown in the link below:

http://www.pathofexile.com/fullscreen-passive-skill-tree/AAAAAwABAO4DHgUtBbUGIw-rFSAWvxmKGbQbyB9BI_YkiyaVKk0s6S2DMHw1kjY9Ps8_J0MxRwZHfkkTSshNkk3jUUdSr1VLWhpaUmHiYqxlTWf8bAhsjG1sbmluqnTtdct2gnvDfXWExYazieCNfY1-jb-TH5cGm12btZ2qqJq0xbTRtfK3trtNu-O9Nr3mvqfC7MMzwzrEosgMy73Q0NN-1CPV-Ni92sHb591f44TmWOaB6mLvevGK8kXyl_aj_gr-j_66

To improve survivability, is it better to:

a) Spend 5 skill points from "Shaper" to the Scion starting point (through Life Regen path)
b) Spend 5 skill points from "Finesse" to the Ranger starting point (through Evation & Life path)

Thanks

Finesse

Could you please elaborate a little bit so I could understand why? Thank you in advance.

More life > more regen, plus you get evasion % from the ranger nodes.

Enjoying your awesome build, thanks !

Hey, thanks for the build. Having fun leveling it right now in Tempest.

I'm following your recommended HC tree and have a question. Why do we take Master of the Arena? Is 1% health regen and 20 Strength really worth that much? I understand that not all passives need to be 100% efficient, but wasting the melee phys damage and melee range seems like an awful lot.

Also, giving up Corruption and the nodes around it seems like a huge loss of damage. Is it at all a good idea (particularly in Tempest and having in mind that I don't plan to use Blood Rage because I'd like to be extra safe) to give up the extra Frenzy charge nodes and go for Corruption instead?

Thanks again.

It's there in case you decide to run Blood Rage in HC. Since you aren't, you can drop Master of the Arena.

Frenzy charges are way more potent than going for Corruption. You'll want to run a curse-on-hit setup of some variety (temp chains, enfeeble, vuln if you're feeling badass) so you'll have good uptime on your charges. Remember, FC's are *more* damage, not increased. It's easier to grab two FC's than go up to Corruption, which allows you to spec into better defenses either through jewels, life nodes, faster acro/phase, etc.
