Poe 3.0 Scion Build | Based Blade Vortex as Elementalist and Assassin have decided that build will be playing SSF again.As bd have never played Scion class before, bd decided to create a build for it with SSF in mind based on my BV experience with Shadow & Pathfinder.Another reason that bd picked the Scion class is because of this MTX that build bought when it went on sale ;)

1. Cleared using 4L:

Blade Vortex + Arcane Surge + Efficacy + Concentrated Effect

2. T15 Beachhead Map Deathless Clear

No real threats in completing the map. Pretty much just keep Blade Vortex stacks up and run/cyclone around.

3. Required Gears

As this is meant to be league starter build for SSF. There is no required gears.You simply use the best spell damage wand or dagger that you can find. Dagger is preferred though because you can use Shield Charge with a dagger but not a wand (Flame Dash for wand)

4.Recommended Gears

Allows you to do 100% elemental damage.

20% physical damage as extra chaos. Best roll is 5% reduced maximum life.

Socket Hatred gem into this ring will enable you to run Herald of Ash too.

This chest is basically a 8L chest. With free level 15 Added Chaos and Blood Magic support gem. Allowing you to ramp up BV stacks without worrying about mana. Downside is you will need a life flask to refill the drained life pool.
