Hot 3.6 Scion Ascendant Builds
POE Synthesis Scion Flicker Molten Strike Ascendant Build - Fast, Tankly, Boss Killer
Pros
- + Fast mapping
- + Very tanky - Even Rippy T15 and T16 maps feel safe
- + Boss Killer - 1 to 4 million single target shaper dps depending on gear
- + Affordable base of gear can kill shaper (2-3ex)
- + No clunky gear swaps, weapon swaps or gem swaps
Cons
- - Lots of backtracking to pick up loot.
- - Little control over where flicker strike brings you. Delving with flicker strike is not recommended. Use molten strike to safely clear delves, details below in gem section.
- - Playing flicker strike with more than 100ms feels horrible.
- - Endgame character optimization gets expensive.
- The build performs well in 99% of content on just a few exalts, but to create a truly OP character takes a large currency investment (16-20ex). Optimizing further beyond that gets even more expensive.
- - Using flicker strike will violently shake your screen. Some people find this very uncomfortable to look at. Please watch videos before deciding if this build is right for you.
