↖ Live Valdos Showcase
This showcase focuses on Vles Map with Feared mod. This build does well with such challenges, showing how it's able to deal with tough enemies. Join us as we see what this cheap Scion Armour Stacker can do.
↖ Build Stat Overview
First, let's discuss key numbers about this Scion Armour Stacker build. With 530k effective hit pool consisting of Fizz and 150k elemental max hit, this cheap build boasts decent survivability properties. Energy Shield is at about 4k giving a good base for surviving dangerous situations.
The build has around 2k ES regen which makes it ready for any hard fight even if the character has no leech or rely on potions only. It also stacks up to one million armor which provides great resistance against physical damage hits at times while all resistances sit at 90 thereby striking balance between offense and defense.
↖ Build Concept
The main concept behind this build is fire overcap stacking with Formless Flame to get the highest possible armor and use fire Mastery to regenerate life depending on unemptied fire resistance.
This is a build that has been balanced between defense and offense through leveraging the Guardian ascendancy, scaling damage using replica Dreamfeather, and armor. For instance, specific jewels take care of elemental mitigation while depending more on ES regen alone in addition to ES on hit Watcher's Eye for recovery.
↖ Gear Overview
Several important items in this build determine how it performs.
- Each item contributes to the overall success of the Scion Armour Stacker, starting from fast attacking swords to Formless Flame and Al's Uprising amulet.
- Body armors, gloves and rings have specific crafting considerations that must be taken into account if one wants to make the build work within this budget-friendly framework.
- The gear also includes these boots (March of the Legion) and belt (The Magnate), which offer their own advantages such as increases in flash charge generation rate or support for AOE inspiration.
↖ Passives/Jewel
This passive tree was specifically designed with this Scion Armour Stacker in mind. Small clusters and a brutal restraint jewel are some of the options used by players who cannot spend too much currency on desired attributes for their builds. Additionally, Watcher's Eye jewel that has ES on hit is valuable when it comes to sustaining survivability during fights.
↖ Charms
Including jewels with specific affixes like "Armor applies to fire, cold, light damage taken from hits" and "Maximum fire resistance" can also improve the build's defense capabilities. These charms also assist in fine-tuning the resistance and mitigation aspects of the Scion Armour Stacker.
↖ Gems
In this build, the main skill is molten strike while secondaries include volatility, multistrike, awakened elemental focus, GMP and awakened lightning penetration. However, there are alternative setups for lightning strike and smite, which also provides flexibility in playstyle and skill selection.
↖ Ascendancy/Pantheons
This particular build takes a path from Champion to Guardian in a logical progression that ends up with a well-rounded set of skills that leverages on the strengths of each ascendancy class. In addition, pantheons such as Solo Varali and Solo Raakesh bring about more defenses for this character.
↖ Pricing Overview
Cutting costs is crucial while navigating this pricing landscape especially when it comes to building PoE characters such as this one. There are several ways one can reduce costs without affecting overall performance ranging from level 20 gems to alternative flask modifiers. By focusing on upgrading essential items effectively and using smart gearing strategies; players could adequately manage their budget while making most out of this build.
↖ What to Cut If Lower Level?
However, for those who have just started playing at lower levels changing passive tree nodes or managing resistance levels may allow them to adopt Scion Armour Stacker technologies earlier than other players.
↖ Upgrade Pat
Moving forward into mage blood along with other significant gear upgrades like Huber Circlet and Ashes of the Stars will help transition this build into its end-game form. These new enhancements improve the performance of Scion Armour Stacker by enabling it to reach greater heights of power and flexibility.
↖ Different Skill Setups
