I've had a revelation about my build for my scion. It's not very good. It's salvageable, but as currently planned, it's going to pigeonhole my gear choices even further (I hate that), and it's not really "great" for endgame.
So. I've spent some time putting together a new build.
http://bit.ly/1dtxcWB
The Pros:
More Passive Dex. As it was before, I was already at the max amount of Dex the build was going to give me at level 42, and I was going to need to search for it on gear to further level my gems. That's a problem.
More Attack Speed. I like attacking faster, with slower weapons.
More "Dual" nodes. I really like the idea of nodes that give multiple bonuses. It feels like more bang for the buck.
More % Life. Surprisingly, my total Life nodes increased.
CONS:
I'm going to move slower. I really like the 24% armor / eva node that removes movement penalty. I haven't found a way to work it in yet. Trust me, I'm trying.
The build will have a longer... "come together" time in terms of when it feels "solid" in terms of levels.
Even with respec points from quests, I'm going to have to find about 8 regrets to finish making the changes, and I wont be able to complete the changes until A3 Merc.
I should be able to get it working though. I also made another scion last night, to get myself another Specrtral Throw Gem, since I completely missed the part in the writeup on the build of the week, where they say that the shotgunning portion of ST was removed. So, now I get to Support out 2 ST gems. Yay.....
