[3.1] Ice Shot Scion ELE/INQ Bow Build
|
Note: This thread is a work in progress and I'll update as i get time.
This build is centered around the Ice Shot skill with the Scion character. My goal is to update this forum post with each milestone (Act/Lab/Map Tier completion), by including skill tree and gear progression to make this very new player friendly. ~~~These Pro's and Con's are being updated dynamically as I play the build~~~ Pro's: ---A tactical build that allows for battlefield manipulation, control and movement. ---Easy build to pick-up; but has enough depth that mastering it is engaging, without being overwhelmed by skill micro-management. Con's: ---Kills things a bit slower than some other builds thus far (Act V). ---Leech is a bit weak, so you can't rely on it too much until you start piercing in Act V or VI, so use those potions! ---Learning how to play tactically and being able to fully exploit the build can take some getting used to (EG - Using the totem and skills effectively). Current Stats: <Under Construction, I'll probably update this when I start mapping> Note: The following milestones are indicating what you should strive for whilst achieving them, as well as what you should have when you complete the milestone (IE - Progression).

Think of this as a checkpoint to catch-up to a good baseline level before moving on. >Skill Tree: http://www.pathofexile.com/fullscreen-passive-skill-tree/3.1.1/AAAABAAAAQDuBS0NjRR1FSAi4iPTKjgqTSzpNZI_J0MxR-JKfUrITP9OKlO7WlJbr2VNbqpvJ3TtdcuBrId2jX6PYJpqm12kOaiatfK3tr02vqe_1cjM2L3awd0N32_qYu4O74_yl_zF >Skill Gems: 1.

Also, none of the proximity shield mobs from prior areas are present here. Hint:
Spoiler
Kitava fight:
-> Use the Decoy Totem directly in front and to his left of him and keep your character back near the Sign of Purity to stay out of range of most of his abilities. For the heart phase, simply plop a Decoy Totem on the heart and fill the heart and mobs that swarm the totem with arrows. >Skill Tree: http://www.pathofexile.com/fullscreen-passive-skill-tree/3.1.1/AAAABAAAAQDuBS0NjRR1FSAi4iPTI_YqOCpNLOkzkjWSPydDE0MxR-JKfUrITP9Nkk4qU7taUluvZU1uqm8ndO11y3vDgayGs4d2jX2Nfo9gmmqbXaOKpDmomrXyt7a9Nr6nv9XIzNi92sHdDd9v6mLuDu-P8pf8xQ== Jewels: ---Poacher's Aim (Quest Reward [Socket next to Scion starting area]) ---Omen on the Winds (Quest Reward [Socket between Duelist and Ranger starting area]) >Skill Gems: 1.

Hint:
Spoiler
Maligaro fight:
-> If you haven't taken the Spirit Void passive skill node, you may need to disable Herald of Ice to increase your mana pool for this fight, as well as creating a Town Portal just outside of the entrance to his arena area, just in case you die (once or twice). If you need to, you can also disable Frostbite to open up your entire mana pool. (IE - Mana may be an issue during this fight.)
Spoiler
Gruthkul (big black deer/bear thing) fight:
-> The shadow rifts on the floor that randomly cast black crap hurt, so healing is a bit of an issue here, you may need to swap out one of the mana pots for a health pot.
Spoiler
Arakaali fight:
->Keep a Decoy Totem up just in front of her, on the opposite side that you are on, to keep her and her spawns attention. Then just whittle her down. When the room-wide black beams sweep across, just use Blink Arrow to hop on the other side that has already been cast and dissipated on. The build has good synergy on this fight, so this fight is a great example of the capabilities of this build thus far. >Skill Tree: http://www.pathofexile.com/fullscreen-passive-skill-tree/3.1.1/AAAABAAAAQDuBS0FZg2NFHUVICF2IuIj0yP2JP0qOCpNLOkwfDOSNZI31D8nQxNDMUfiSn1KyEz_TZJOKlFHU7taUluvZU1uqm8ndO11y3vDgayGs4bOh3aNfY1-j2Caaptdo4qkOaiatfK3tr02vqe_1cEzyMzYvdrB3Q3fb-Cf51TqYu0_7g7vj_KX_MU= Jewels: ---Poacher's Aim (Socket next to Scion starting area) ---Omen on the Winds (Socket between Duelist and Ranger starting area) ---Omen on the Winds (Socket in Ranger area next to large bow node) >Skill Gems: 1.

Spoiler
Doedre fight:
-> This fight annoyed the crap out of me. As a tip, if the purple hazes are floating around, click the Valve on the cauldron in the middle of the room to get her to change it to something else. Those hazes float around the room and put a stacking debuff that slows your movement and attack speed. After that, just use the totem to keep her attention and try to burn her down as fast as you can. I can't think of a better way to do this fight other than that, and I still died several times to her.
Spoiler
Solaris and Lunaris fight:
-> This fight can be annoying, but it wasn't as bad as Doedre to be honest. Depending upon your gear, it may just take awhile. Just move back and forth as the head at the front of the room turns to attack you, and avoid as much as you can. It's more tedious than hard. >Skill Tree: http://www.pathofexile.com/fullscreen-passive-skill-tree/3.1.1/AAAABAAAAQDuAx4FLQVmBbUNjREvFHUVIB9BIXYi4iPTI_Yk_So4Kk0s6TB8M5I1kjY9N9Q_J0MTQzFH4kp9SshM_02STipRR1O7WlJbr2KsZU1sjG6qbyd07XXLe8OBrIazhs6Hdo19jX6Nv49gmmqbXZ2qo4qkOaiatMW18re2vTa-p7_VwTPC7MjM2L3awd0N32_gn-dU6mLrY-0_7g7vj_KX_MU= Jewels: ---Poacher's Aim (Socket next to Scion starting area) ---Omen on the Winds (Socket between Duelist and Ranger starting area) ---Omen on the Winds (Socket in Ranger area next to large bow node) >Skill Gems: 1.

Cruel Izaro fight:

This is exactly what I was hoping to find.
Also thank you for making such a detailed leveling guide. Couple of questions: Whats the reason for not picking jewel slots at the start? Are you skipping normal Lab because it only gives stats and one skill point to do before Cruel Lab? Which Ascendancy first INQ or ELE? Oh and what did you do with bandits? Kill all of them?

This is exactly what I was hoping to find.
Also thank you for making such a detailed leveling guide. -> =D Couple of questions: Whats the reason for not picking jewel slots at the start? -> This build was created with new characters/league rolls whom wouldn't have access to existing gear/currency in mind. I felt that the passive skill points were better spent in something more immediately necessary as early jewels relied too much on the RNG (Random Number Generator) for my tastes. With that being said, however, I've since finished updating the Act V section and it does include jewel slots and jewel recommendations if you'd like to check that out. Are you skipping normal Lab because it only gives stats and one skill point to do before Cruel Lab? -> 100% correct! I plan on putting the Normal and Cruel Lab runs somewhere between Acts VIII and IX, I'll make that determination as I get closer to that milestone based upon how the areas feel in regards to difficulty vs progression. Which Ascendancy first INQ or ELE? -> I'll indicate that when I reach that point and update this guide however, since you asked, ELE is first. =) Oh and what did you do with bandits? Kill all of them? -> Whoops, good catch! I'll update the guide now with that, but it's kill all. Sorry about that. Last edited by Regnineurg on Dec 25, 2017, 4:56:30 AM

Thanks for the reply!
Im playing this right now in SSF, Ice shot felt sluggish in the first act but its really picking up in the second one already. Might have gotten overly lucky though, with not just movement and attack speed but also high elemental damage rolls everywhere (The Ignomon dropped) | |
" It is a little slower than your typical meta or speed build, I noticed that as well. I've updated the pro's and con's section to reflect that as well, thanks! |
|
|
Just started this build today, keep it up author! Would really like to see how this build go and hopefully it can clear all content in the end.
| |
|
Just a minor suggestion, I have done a Ice Shot Raider in 3.0
Would you consider ELE+RAIDER a good setup for this build? The reason for Raider is the combination for the Ice Bite to constantly generate Frenzy charges from all the frozen kills we are getting. Once fully setup we are getting pretty much permanent Frenzy. | |
|
Just started this build as well.
Let's just say the holidays have been kind to POE and I already had a level 70 inquisitor who used frost bomb and have moved most of my loot over to this build. Thanks for putting this together! | |
|
Any updates on the skill tree, ascendancy and pantheon. I have a level 73 scion that was given respec and i wanted to set this build up on it. Thanks in advance
