The levels keep on piling up on my Scion. I'm now 76, Things are looking pretty good. I have changed around some of my jewelry, picking up ~300 HP, and getting my resists a little closer to cap (my cold res was in the 50's for my "general" mapping set), and I've picked up a little more DPS.
At this point, I'm not sure if I need more HP increasing nodes or not. With my gear as it sits, I'm pushing just over 3700 HP, and I still don't have HP on every slot, and I have at least one slot with low HP.
This is all new territory for me, so I'm unsure what I need to focus on. Currently, I've cleared up to level 69 maps, and my death toll in maps is very low. Normally, I only die to a Shrine + Champ pack or Shrine + Exile, or something silly like that, when I played poorly. Normally, I just cruise right along, no issues.
If I needed more HP, it would be really easy for me to spend points through level 87 on just HP % Nodes
Or, I can spend nodes from here until 91, and pick up
+70 Str
+30 life
-30% Crit Multiplier against me
1.9% Life Regen / Sec
38% life
43% Armor
2% Movement Speed
Problem with that plan: 91 is a very very very long way away. Even from 76. That is also thin on DPS. Which I think at this point, I should maybe start focusing more on, though I'm not sure.
The big problem with the DPS nodes, is that I've sort of exhausted all the "big ones" so to speak for Maces.
Easy Nodes:
12% damage with maces
2x 10% damage with 2h'ers
3x 6% Mace Damage / 2% Atk Speed (1 of which would open up 2x 12% Mace Nodes)
1x 15% Damage with 2'hers / 20% Accuracy (the accuracy is wasted)
Now, currently, my clear speed is fine. I don't feel like I'm going slow, but I know I could be going faster. I also know that every says that the changeover to 70+ maps is significant, and I don't want to find out that I screwed up. I guess from here to 80, I'm going to invest in DPS points, and we'll see what Happens. I can always regret away the points I spend right?
