Molten Strike has always been a very strong skill and with 3.4 Delve expansion, GGG decided to give it a bit more aoe. Molten Strike now gains additional melee weapon range every 7 levels, up to +2 at level 20 (and +3 at level 21). Mathil decided to give it a try and put to test a mechanic that surrounds both damage and survivability around Intelligence. This is made possible by using two items, Mask of the Stitched Demon and a pair of Hand of Wisdom and Action(HoWA).

Your main concern should be getting as much Intelligence as possible and some ES to get the Helmet bonus of 1% Life Regen per 500 Maximum ES. I did not find the cost overwhelming but like any other great build in Path of Exile, the top-tier items will have prohibitive prices.

The build looks like a solid endgame performer and works like charm inside Delve. Here’s all you need to know to start the slaughter.

Keeping in mind that the survivability of this character depends on high Intelligence stats, the best options is a Shaper Body Armour with the mod #% Increased Intelligence. Additional intelligence and a high roll of Maximum Life are also needed.

– Increased Attack Speed

Speed is the name of the game in Path of Exile, so get a pair of boots with the standard 30% Increased Movement Speed and excellent roll both on Added Intelligence, Maximum Life and Elemental Resistances.

If available, look for the Eternal Labyrinth enchantments that add Elemental Damage or increase Attack Speed like #% increased Attack and Cast Speed if you’ve Killed Recently.

Claws

The two Hand of Wisdom and Action Claws will make the main damage source also be granted by having high Intelligence Stats. The Claws will also make you really hard to kill while you are hitting enemies since you gain 92 of Life with each Enemy you Hit.

Stats to look in the Rare Ring:
– Increased Elemental Damage
– Maximum Life
– Intelligence
– Accuracy

Check Prices on poe.trade

The Taming Prismatic Ring provides a great amount of extra Damage, Additional Chance to Freeze, Shock, and Ignite. It will also probably cap your needs in Elemental Resistances.

BeltAmulet

Belt

Increasing all Attributes by 15% makes the Cyclopean Coil a great fit for this build mechanics.

It will make you invulnerable to Shock and boost almost everything from Maximum Life to Attack Speed and Damage.

Amulet

Getting a good Shaper Amulet with “1% increased Damage per 15 Intelligence” will not be cheap. See what’s available now. 
Alternately look for an amulet with:
– Elemental Damage or Resistances
– Maximum Life
– Intelligence

Check Prices on poe.trade
Flasks

Bubbling Divine Life Flask of Staunching
Ample Quicksilver Flask of Adrenaline
Atziri’s Promise
Experimenter’s Sulphur Flask of Heat
The Wise Oak Bismuth Flask

Flasks

As for the Flasks setup, keep The Wise Oak, Sulphur, and Atziri up for maximum damage, and a Quicksilver to keep the fastpaced playstyle.

Conclusion

The Hand of Wisdom and Action Molten Strike Scion Build is an overall great performer, the idea of building around Intelligence works surprisingly well. It’s immune to Elemental Reflect can use two Golems and has a life pool above 6000. As Mathil stated its one of the Kings of Delve, making it look like once you get it going its unstoppable.

The gameplay is quite simple, just make sure to have Blood Rage up, move using Whirling Blades and attack the packs of mobs. Faced with a hard opponent and you just place your Ancestral Protector Totem near you for extra Attack Speed and hit Vaal Haste.

Hope this build review will help you level your character.
If you like or have any suggestion feel free to comment your opinion, give it a thumb up and share it with other Exiles.
