Hi just wanted to share my shield crush scion inspired by this video, build was really inteded as a mapper tho i noticed it has enough damage for ubers but i need to improve the defences.

I'm using crown of eyes to get a huge % increased damage with a nicely placed elegant hubris, an explody chest so i can actually clear trash mobs with a simple 1 link shield charge and also using scion because of how flexible the class is but i'm thinking of maybe swapping to another ascendancy to go for a more defensive path.

Some other key points:

• Slayer overleech is the main recovery of the build and it actually feels good + the aoe for mapping
• Champion is a nice damage increase + free fortify
• My 2 highest attributes are equal so rational doctrine is giving me consecrated ground + profane ground (i could also use leaderships price for brittle, scorched and sapped which should help with defences too)
• Last ascendancy is pretty flex i've been mainly using saboteur for the aoe or PF for a more perma taste of hate but inquisitor or berserker are nice for more dps or even trickster to recover ES if i decided to go for capped block chance.
• Ralakesh because i like having perma charges.
• Amulet is a "free" slot at the moment, The Utmost is good but since i already got suppress cap it's only for dps, defiance is good to avoid being "shotgunned" by a lot of mobs and high density content like simulacrum.

I'm actually happy with the build atm for mapping and even t17s but i definitely want to try a more tankier approach so that's probably my next step but still need to pob lots of things.

Other showcases

• Simulacrum wave 29-30
• Minotaur Map
• The Formed
• Uber Eater

Note: As you can see ubers can be a pain because my EHP and max hit are not that good so it can be easy to die, in the uber eater showcase just in the minute 2:52 i managed to position myself to actually dps him which is the problem for uber bosses, as shield crush you want to stay in place attacking so you need to be able to take hits. I still think most of those deads there were my fault because it was avoidable damage but still the build should be able to tank some hits to dps effectively.

Thanks for reading this lenghty post btw! any feedback is nice so feel free to comment!
