warrior titan thorns theory build
ive been theory crafting a thorns build because why not and i have a skill tree made at the very least. i have made the character (warrior titan) and have a couple of items that i have felt are potentially BiS uniques. im sure people are gonna say it wont work and thats ok but why not give it a go anyway right.
SKILL TREE: https://poe2db.tw/us/passive-skill-tree/AAAABgAAe5b2B3kSOfBeHilsTkjF-0eaXdB9jxVBVWekytEzub4eoq6BkchjicFHxguURWIdzG7SrqPWAYB1sh_4JsH54v04BGbPeQ6zx6K5s6hChWbUbS5q7dCdRDxYWDk-PTc_tzh7UhlpWdntosHFgkHdaqcVqKq_f1gYoE9P47e4nyd0lzNIEHW915YEsHZcMRUMrRzjdTfCRoTFym2bHrs7VEAt3ZjbZlR5t7PB1rKMCSvw1BCV4KCRjH6hL9kstiQ9pgWZ4KJ6Br2orr15AyG3tqh_lOd4IVPJTl-jIT3mtW5rWwuMzBGv1a1SYQUGRe-ctXxofqAfGAAA Potential BiS Uniques or potential options: Helmet: Crown of the pale king Cultist Crown Boots: Briarpatch Laced Boots or BeetleBite Velour Shoes Body: Edyrn's Tusks Iron Cuirass any input, ideas, suggestions would be appreciated. this is my first time attempting to theory craft a build and would just like to see if its capable of getting into maps. so any input would be helpful. i know there is an issue with acsending with this build and that is something im not sure how to solve unless its a carry. but i just wanna know everyones opinion or thoughts about it Last bumped on Dec 27, 2024, 6:58:53 PM

Hi.
Looking forward your updates and thoughts as I'm trying to level a thorn build myself. Which ascendancy do you plan to take ? |

Some considerations -
You've allocated Spiked Armour on tree but your chest has 300 armour. Ideally, it should be a rare 1k or more for the node to be worth something. Thorn without a block might be suicidal. I would invest at least 50% and try to get The surrender to have 4% life recovery on block. Or invest in a shield with as much block as possible to try and get 75%. Not to mention that block makes you avoid taking damage in trials, so it can be an advantage to do them. About the skills. With a good ‘600+’ armour shield, shield charge will be great for clearing trash. I can almost hit kill white and blue mobs with a 500 shield for example whitout damage gems. You can focus on the macestrike to deal damage while the thorn finishes off the enemies. Shockwave totem with rage and life regeneration for bosses. Scavenged Plating is a must: 420-680 Raw thorn damage + 40% armour on 10 stacks. I tested magma barrier and found it ok, but countering it all the time is exhausting. Single target - The best skill in this setup is Sunder. It consumes all the enemy's broken armour to guarantee critical damage. With so much invested in it, it's a perfect combo. Just get the right gems like aftershock and area damage. Perhaps the hardest part is getting a 1h weapon with enough damage. Expert warkpick is the best choice because it already has critical damage in its base. That's all there is to it, just testing to see what it would be like. Edit: As the char will take damage constantly, some nodes to consider -> Revenge. Vengeful Fury - Voracius Sundering. Greatest Defence. Last edited by reinero#6005 on Dec 27, 2024, 7:06:08 PM
