Scion's Heralds of Purity 3.28
I promised to myself that if scion got any goodness, I'd be playing one come next league. As it stands, I generally prefer minion skills, so I took the Maata's node and tried to make a build from that.
Important question.
Is it good? Ehhhh.
Is it optimal? Nope, go play necro or guardian.
Will it be interesting? For me, sure. I've never done a herald of purity build before so I'm looking forward to it.
So, the build itself is basically stolen from captain lance, and modified to suit my own desires. I've modified it to take a solely physical approach though with that being the core difference
Loadouts should work all the way up to level 92, capping out at 1.1 million dps if I've remotely done my pobbing correctly. General defense is Armour and ES, with a focus on block with a decentish amount of life to back it up. A core goal was making everything as affordable as possible throughout, so hopefully nothing is too pricey.
Essentially, early on, you'll level with herald of purity and absolution before switching solely on to herald of purity, probably after merc lab, since that's when you'll have the maata's node supporting you.
Damage should be fine, but if you make it to end game, you'll really start wanting to invest into defenses.
A minion cluster followed by a block cluster are a good starting point as you make the switch over to Aegis Aurora.
Feel free to click around the loadouts and see the various stages of the build, or to tell me the big blind spot of mine where I royally messed up and over inflated my numbers.
Regardless, I'm planning on league starting this, and will continue to refine the information, particularly on Monday once full scion information is released.
