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.
