What a guide, i never been this strong in act 1, thanks for the work king. even Jung is here

[@TheSheptys]

Love Scion videos that aren't CWDT :D This looks fun going to try

[@IcyBaron]

Finally some Scion love

[@Gid-J]

This is the only scion leveling I could find after 3.20 so you are awesome. Also, may I please get this filter? It is better than my current tyty one.

[@kieranevans4884]

Yay he’s back!!

[@대검-x2u]

i love this!

[@patrickabel6910]

this feels great and Scion seems like a flexible pivot to something else once I've got some currency. Thinking about starting this depending on patch notes.

[@user-bc7fe4ep8k]

Highly recommend Armor Stacking Scion once you have some currency

[@CHOP874]

Phys dot would be fucking fun to play, would also possibly make Reap usable before you reach mirror tier gear

[@superspies32]

And in 3.23 Exsan is buffed with base duration is 2.5s

Awesome dude. I would love to see a spectral duelist levelling

[@floppgaming4394]

Hoi! Awesome video. Is your leveling lootfilter public?

[@Balaar]

Not currently. Its scuffed in a lot of ways that need to be addressed before I feel comfortable releasing to public as I because I am aware of certain ways it scuffed, I can account for it and play around it, but don't want to release filter to public without fixing those issues first

[@IntheruS]

Hey, what uniques would be good to buy during lvling on trade league ?

[@emph5604]

I'm always grateful for your videos. Can you give me an act guide on the impending doom assistance? It's hard to find it :(

[@Hermanhos]

@balaar Would you consider making some ur best builds like top 5 league starter / top 5 strongest builds etc 👍🏼

[@Balaar]

Probably not as my area of experience/proficiency in PoE lies much more in early game/campaign. I like doing these various runs as it can allow people to see different ways to level using a variety of builds and archetypes. Some like the RF + Fire Trap inquis have a lot of mapping resources for them already and thus my leveling builds that sort of have well established builds in mapping/late game already as a stepping stone/way to get through early game and then transition to that build.

[@ShuanT]

a question. What skill is considered a minion? since that doubt arose when I saw the complete tree and I did not fully understand what all the points placed in the minion are for.

[@ArtaEva]

Spiritual Aid Notable, Transform Minion Damage to Generic Damage.

[@Sp33dyJohn]

Is it possible to do a super-fast leveling strat like this but focused on deadeye wander? I am just asing because I have seen very few videos detailing it and I don't know where to come up with the strat for something like this. I know speedrunning like this is more than just being fast, you need a very accurate plan too.

[@Alkyen]

Not OP. I assume most people would want to level it as bows as that's much faster, especially nowadays with all the buffs. And swap to wander in maps.

[@Balaar]

So to be honest, I haven't really tried deadeye wander, so I can't really recommend how I would path/do it because a lot of the time with campaign speed leveling builds, there are a lot of issues that you need to solve at various points of run which will not be apparent on PoB at all and different options to do so. Without doing a fair number of testing runs and various different PoB setups, can't really tell

[@rotony1]

I'm really curious what you will start in 3.22

[@Balaar]

Not even the faintest clue, patchnotes when? :D

[@gehirndoper]

Why occultist? I thought about doing phys DoT on Ascendant before, but I'd probably go Necro in end-game, as you can get full block with Bone Offering and Glatiator. Before that, PF and Trickster are generically good. Edit: I think they nerfed Gladiator. Wasn't it +15% for both spells and attacks, and 25% instead of 20% more Phys dmg over time? That makes quite the difference, as reaching block cap gets so much harder. Guess Champion stays the only real choice for phys DoT.

[@Balaar]

Was for second curse in terms of damage for campaign (didn't end up slotting second since I didn't have sockets for it). You can definitely do block on Necro endgame. Which one you go depends on whether you want the extra curse or extra block scaling from necro for defense endgame. Either way, at face value, one of those would appear to be strong options. I'm sure there might other good combos for second class ascendancy.

[@Hooga89]

@@Balaar You also get stun immune from Occultist as long as you have ES, this is very decent QoL imo.

[@Balaar]

@@Hooga89 Yeah, decent add on for QoL for sure

Hi! Would you please share the reason you used a duelist mule here? I believe you should be able to get all the gems you need on scion, so I am kind of confused.

[@raksaKhan1337]

I wold love budget gear after this to finish atlast

[@Balaar]

Unfortunately, I don't play trade nor have I mapped in any significant manner with the build. As the result, I can't reasonably answer this question and I don't want to mislead you on this

[@neetn9635]

we play what build for start legend when finish 10 act? i very love your video

[@cristianruiz7139]

What upgrades do you think its better to get to the build to advance the atlas? Im currently thinking to make it like a 2nd build.

[@vynze]

Is there an endgame POB for this? Maybe even ssf viable? I love exsanguinate but cant make it work in pob cuz im too stupid

[@MrLpoiklpoik]

Why do you mule Duelist when Scion can buy Frost Blades?

[@doomzx8284]

Ok, my goal is to league start Aura/Armour stacker Smiter which is very expensive, I want to play 20h/day for the first week, and I wanna swap to it like end of day 3 or 4. I don't want to level another class and reroll, it's annoying...last time I did this 3.21 but I did RF Ascendant and it was kinda mid...This I REALLY like how it turned out while leveling, my question is this brother: - How smooth this build is for Atlas clear tier 1 to tier 16 maps and normal bosses like exarch/eater? Have you tried it or seen anywhere? I also want to know if this build requires investment to keep going up to t16 etc? Cause RF is kinda SSF/very cheap to clear but its not great on Ascendant...please answering these would help a ton

[@Balaar]

Unfortunately, I don't have much experience mapping with this build, and as a result, I don't want to recommend you one way or another about the build as I don't want to mislead you in anyway with something I don't have much expertise on myself. Instead, this build was intended to be campaign speed leveling build, which you can use as a framework for a smooth and solid campaign experience on scion if your build takes you to left side of tree. Beyond that, it starts becoming your path to walk. Best I can do regarding mapping is recommend you see if any well respected creators have something similar out there with some variation of phys dot scion and if the gameplay, how its built, the offensive numbers, defensive numbers, and general playability of the build serves your purpose. One way you can potential test your self without fully leveling a new scion/ascendant if you a blank one around is just buy the gems in the video from vendor, equip roughly end of campaign level gear (essentially just resistance gear, might have some life crafts here in there), and test how early maps feel, how things progress, and such. One major thing with campaign speed level builds versus how mapping builds end up is that the passive point allocation ends up getting spread out way more as points/clusters that may be too far to reasonably get in campaign given power curve requirements to have a smooth run will become reasonable in maps. As a result of this, a good campaign leveling build will almost always require adaptation from the tree for campaign to what you will end up with maps. Given this, it is hard for me to predict how the build will perform and even further how the perform will in a trade environment because I rarely, if at all play trade, which means how I judge power level will be different from a trade enabled scenario

[@petardinjo]

Hi thx for guide, quite inspirational. What do you say after a10 is this build capable to clear atlas and under what investment? I mean do we need to heavy invest going after in red maps etc ? Thank you once again.

[@Balaar]

I play SSF typically, so I can't really be much help on the investment/cost front. As a result of that if you are in a trade circumstance, we might differ pretty greatly on how we see its capability. Phys Dot Scion has been played successfully in maps/endgame for a decent while now, it will not have juiced damage, it won't have juiced speed, and it won't have juiced defenses. Instead, you'll get reliable damage, reliable clear, and decent to good surviability depending on how you end up building it and when you transition/manage the transition to self-cast. Ultimately, I would take a look around and see if you can find phys dot scion builds from well known creators examine the PoBs or watch gameplay and see if it looks like something you'd enjoy and/or has numbers you'd like to see whether it be offensively, defensively, or investment wise. If it feels like it be a decent fit for what you want to accomplish and feels like it would be enjoyable for you to play, throw a couple practice runs at both leveling and mapping and see if that holds up. Obviously, this is a bit of a non-answer, but I don't want you to have some grand expectations about Phys Dot Scion. The value of the build will be relative to what you want out of it, what playstyles you enjoy, and other builds you could play

[@petardinjo]

@@Balaar Thank you very much on long answer. Since we all know starting scion in league is always a bit tricky, I was actually looking forward to build which can help me finish with atlas and in the meantime to generate currency and switch to another scion build as my main because we all know how re-leveling can be tedious and specifically if you are planning at least 3 builds per season. Ok I mean I will give it a try, so far your version for leveling at least is very good and yes, I will not finish campaign in 3 hours and 40 min, I will be happy with even 5 hours, I was just wondering if I would be able to clear atlas with it to fund another build. Now I think i would. I mean I dont want to farm ubers or spend way too much time investing in levels and gear. Thank you once again on feedback, and quick question, after I show your few builds to my friend he asked me to ask you if there is any chance for some minion build speed run before 3.22 ?

[@Balaar]

Haven't mapped with it any extensive manner, but generally most builds that are not critically defective in some major manner can do so. How well they do it will differ significantly, but because I haven't mapped extensively nor do I have an accurate gauge of how you play and what you're looking to get out of it, I can't really give you a good answer here

can this build survie in hc ssfruthless

[@Balaar]

Don't play ruthless whatsoever, so with the traditional and easily accessible defensive layers you get in non-ruthless scenarios, I can't tell you whether this would be remotely surviveble in ruthless. However, phys dot scion has been used in prior Gauntlets successfully for class-based rankings, which implies at a minimum, a decent base level of potential survivability (not considering player skill which be a massive determinant on how successful at surviving you actually are in practice)
