PoE Witch Ascendancy, Hex builds without Mageblood

Hello :) This is my third league so far. Every League i try and make Scion viable with non-meta skills (managed a Poison Storm Rain Bosser, with your help!) I am still working on a Hexblast-Ignite build (Elementalist would have been the "better" option), however I always prefer tanky builds. This is a pure Mapper, currently at 1.65m "map boss" dps.

This build does T16 rare maps with ease a
