*This build is BASED on Thorns, so you want as much THORNS DAMAGE as possible!,

Good Information about HOW THORNS WORKS:

There is multiple good setups for Weapon/Shield, I'd recommend:
a) T10: DB + LW or AA
Solo Push: PS + AA
c) Grift Speeds: DB + AA
d) Grift Push: PS + VS or AA
* Having correct stats is the most important thing! So if your LW is perfectly rolled and ur AA is junk, then use ur LW.
** LW = Lidless Wall (shield) --- BTW a tip for all, if you need a better Lidless Wall, then craft it on a barbarian. Your 8 times more likely to get a Lidless Wall on a barbarian from blood shards and upgrading rares to legendaries with Death Breaths than on a crusader.
** DB = DoomBringer (weapon)
** PS = Pig Sticker (weapon)
** AA = Akarats Awakening (shield)

SKILL ROTATION: Law/Prophet > Iron Skin (Phys CoE) > Consecration > Punish

Great Tips / Suggestions for the build:
1. Use Iron Skin and Consecration / Bombardment when you have +200 % Physical dmg from CoE.
2. In order for Belt of Trove to use "Barrels of Spikes" rune you must have Bombardment equipped.
3. Most important part of Belt of Trove, is to keep up the 50 % DMG Reduction from (4) set bonus.
4. ... (make comment if u got suggestions)

Needs to be Tested (feel free to help test):
A) Sanguinary vambracers if they work with (2) piece invokers
B') Hack, if it works multipliactive with strg and how much % dmg increase it is
C) Omnislash belt, see if it makes Punish deal AOE dmg. Maybe even procs Hack.
D) Slash, use rune Zeal. Reaching 3 attack per second, might work with Hack!
E) Voy'Toyias Spiker, See if it works multipli- or additive. Works with skills or not? Better than arats awakening?
F) Iron Skin, if you use it before Consecration, does it work for 4 seconds or all 10 seconds?
G) Snapshot, is Iron Skin / Thorns dynamic or static?
H) Blood Brother vs. The Mortal Drama, which one is the best?
I) Block cap? Do we go way above block cap with Blood Brother?

A form of cap for Vit ?
So are Hack and Akarat's Awakening officially the best for this build? I was going to go with the pig sticker, spiker shield and provoke like it showed in the video.
Finally a sader build i can play lol nice work mate keep it up
What would be best of an Ancient Doombringer with +Phys dmg and a non-ancient Pig Sticker?
Great build,I'll be using it. Once I ding 70, how should I try my luck with Kadala? Should I go for the belt or for a decent weapon?
cuz Attack Speed increases Thorns Quadruple, as of writing this i have 102k base thorns and with just the Zeal-rune on Slash on 10 stacks i go up to 700k thorns
could you post the gems you use ? like str ones or diamond ones for more tankability? helm gem is cd reduction or life?
why use bombarb belt when you dont have bombard on skill bars? it will just use unruned and since we dont scale off the flat damage its basically doing zero damage.
in my testing just now with out having bombard on my skills i was doing 2mil crits compared to 35mil normal damage.
for the block question u can always drop blood brother and get the double bombard damage. using this build I droped the movement speed/hps skill for bombard otherwise i dont see point of using this belt. seems for speed clearing low gr and torments the speed skill is better but for higher life stuff rather the more damage. what belts would be good in this slot without bombard? witching hour?
just wondering. is the end game LoN bombard build still based off thorns? or is it normal scaling with high crit/crit damage?
I'm wondering how well a thorns gem for weapon actually works... 38k* damage but not sure actually how well it scales with everything.
What legendary gem would you drop for a survival one in HC? And which one would you use in HC?
Also available combo on start to use Omnislash with Slash with AS boost! Give kinda better area dmg on start. Of course jump back to Punish after the right belt gonna drop!
what about the shield that increases thorns damage by 200% to taunted enemies? only going to be single target but that seems fine.
also does area damage work with any of these thorns builds?
So which is better, the video or the one Drahque posted in this guide? It seems like he was really going for Pig sticker + Voy Shield
From my what I've gathered the actually editable part of this build is what you should follow. He updated this yesterday (unless more recently) while the video itself was mad back in mid December. I would HIGHLY encourage you to follow the actually guide on this page and not the video. I have every piece and this build is literally stupid good!
Could anyone help me, I recently got this ancient pig sticker with those stats:
Weapon Damage
Damage +10%
Int800+
Vit800+
CDR 7%
beast 24%
human 30%
The smart loot was trolling and gave me "INT" instead of STR, which stat should i roll Str or Attack Speed?
Thanks for the effort put in to create and share this build!
why using convention of elements?i don't get it
How does snapshotting work here?
For example, when I buff my thorns 300% with Iron Skin for 4 seconds and place Consecration for 10s, will it be buffed for full 10s? Or does the thorns damage dynamically change with buffs and procs?
Hope this helps to clarify
