Advancement

Scin does not have a specific build path going forward, but rather several different options that can be focused on as desired. The first is to pick up more talents in the Death sphere, both (reanimate) talents to give your minions greater power and different (undead) talents to increase the variety you can call. The second is to focus on your crowd-control abilities from Ghost Strike and the Nature sphere. For the former, further (ghost strike) talents let you tailor your offense to the situation, while Greater Ghost Strike gives you greater efficiency by letting you affect multiple targets at once. For the latter, the Plant Mastery talent gives you the most bang for your buck by making the abilities you already have more powerful, but Pummel Mastery can be selected if you want to focus more on offense than control. Finally, you can branch into the Enhancement sphere and pick up the Might of the Grave (dual sphere) talent to provide additional angles to efficiently boost both your allies and your minions. Regardless, picking up Metasphere talents such as Extended and Lingering can increase the effective duration of nearly every ability you have for both prolonged combat and adventuring days.

In addition, his KAM is a little low, so increasing that should be considered a priority to both increase his save DCs and his spell point pool.
