What do you think about using the champion ascendancy class for this build?

Nope.

Duelist has a bunch of wasted nodes at the start. Champion basically only makes up for that missing damage.

Without question, it's Deadeye for Ascendancy. Unless Scion's is somehow ridiculously good.

The additional arrow lets us drop Increased Area of Effect for another damage gem (depending on your setup, it's either Empower, or Rapid Decay).

where should i put my points at as i level?

Finesse, Heart of Oak, up to Shadow life, thru Entropy, up to Blood Drinker, Growth of Decay, Method to the Madness, the entire Duelist section (starting with Dirty Techniques, then Master of Arena, Fury Bolts, Golem's Blood), Scion Life, finish the right-side loop by going through Herbalism, remove Method to the Madness for frenzy charges/jewel slots, then polish the rest of the tree off.

Is there anything you guys do for movement speed?

I enjoy the build, really just wish it was a bit faster. Hit 28/32 on the achievements last night. Pretty happy with that!

Dual Ample Quicksilver Flasks of Adrenaline.

You don't need Rumi's at all. The point of the build isn't defense. :P

Probably very right :)

Honestly, I found the Rumi's very early on...and just kinda went with it while I was leveling and never really took it off the flask bar. I'll roll another couple quicksilvers the next time I'm on.

I"m not the greatest PoE player, just very addicted. This is the first character/league that I've killed Atziri on now. I was about to quit until Ascendancy this afternoon, vaal'd my bow hoping for an additional arrow (got a blank corruption) and then said fuck it...I got one set of Atziri pieces...lets give it a go. Killed her...and now I've been buying sets all night. Having a blast farming her in full MF gear tonight...got an Agnerod South, a pair of Maligaro's and 2-The Ethereal cards off Atziri runs. Probably my best farm night in a couple weeks.

Now that they released all ranger`s and shadow`s ascendancy classes, which would be the best for this build? Im thinking on trickster because of 40% increased damage over time or deadeye for +1 arrows to skills.

Not Trickster.

Deadeye let's us drop AoE. Given that we start with CA - AoE - Conc - Rapid Decay - Void Manipulation, it means Empower, which gets a dramatic boost off the triple MORE multipliers. Much more than you'd get off the increased DoT from Trickster.

Hey folks, quick question - at what levels of life / evasion / dps are you willing to try Atziri? I tried a month back, and got obliterated by the two construct guardians. Since then, I've added quite a bit of gear, all my gems are now quality 20 and most are level 19, so I'm thinking I might have a decent chance now.

Thoughts?

I personally start to get comfortable doing it in a 5L +2 bow with gem level 19 and about 4.3k life, but I'm also fairly experienced in doing Atziri runs.
