Build Guide
He tried GR103 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Imvy40v7nYA but most likely quitted because RG was way too passive.
UPDATE 29/08/2017: GR108 cleared in Europe in Season 11.
1) Switched Frailty to Siphon Blood - Blood Sucker (to open doors and suck globes in LoTd)
2) Switched Devour to Bone Armor - Limited Immunity. Pop this before LotD when you are inside the pack near the elite. Then pop LoTD
Where damage comes from? Elites effectively suicide themselves over your minions, that's how. All "damage" in this setup is actually 100% reflected damage (monsters hit your minions and get 100% of minion's thorns back as a result). Minions have no thorns skills to attack so all damage is "passive". The more minions you have swarming around = the better. This is why you need Revives. They are a CROWD.
There's a couple of specific things that you need to know about this build which were hard to fit in the video:
It is very Elite and RG dependent build and after around GR100 it's very fishy. The type of Elite attacks and affixes greatly affect the "chance" to proc reflected damage off your minions. You need rifts full of FROZEN, ARCANES, FROZEN PULSES, JAILER and such. Huge AOE attacks, massive AOE slams.. This way your minions have higher chance to get hit and reflect damage back. Dumb physical brutes with no AOE attacks will take too long to kill, next to impossible sometimes. Illusionists with no extra affixes take FOREVER, so just skip them completely. Juggernaut Frozens can be killed. Same for RGs: RGs with massive AOE attacks can be killed in seconds, while passive dumb ones like Stonesinger can take infinite time.
Important info:
1) Get as much thorns as possible. Chest, belt and shoulders come first. Shield is very good to have too.
2) Get as much CDR as possible
3) Get as much Physical damage as possible, it scales Thorns directly.
4) Get as much essence as possible, max out in paragon + on weapon and shield.
5) When you see elites = press Land of the Dead and start spamming revives and consume globes to stay alive. Pray for Elites to actually perform some attacks or use affixes to hit as much minions as possible (aoe splash attack or DoT attack like Blighter, frozen pulse and frozen is great too). This will trigger reflected damage and they will die.
6) Passive RGs like Crusader King and dumb physical brutes like Stonesinger can be really annoying and terrible. Some RGs take a lot of time to kill, while some like Blighter and Agnidox die in seconds.
7) Completely avoid Illusionists and Juggernauts without additional affixes like Frozen. They take forever to kill.
8) Remove all STUN,FREEZE, BLIND, etc skills and gear from your follower! Monsters MUST attack your minions and not be stunned!
9) You CAN roll Revive on shoulders and chest if you really want to MAX damage (and can survive)
10) You can ROLL OFF damage range on your weapon, you don't need it for Thorns.
Useful passives & skills:
1) Extended Servitude is great to help your Revives last longer during LoTD and outside as well. You can try dropping either Blood for Blood or Life from Death for it.
2) Simulacrum - Reservoir is a very interesting choice instead of Frailty curse. If you can time it with LoTD than you can add a huge boost to Revive's damage. Life drain can be extreme though in this case.

wow this build look interesting, ty Angry
but i play in party with my friend most of the time, so any other version for group ?
Just use Lornelle's ring instead of Unity and you are good to go
did anyone use this with group, I really want to try but not enough gear yet
i have 1 question about the enforcer gem: at the lvl 25 it add the DR to our minions, but this build around get the minions get hit so elites kill them self right ?
P/s: how do you get the corpses to use revive at the beginning of the run ?
2) at the beginning i don't get corpses. But when i see first elite i cast land of the dead and start producing. To finish off elite i just use blood rush every seconds to get a corpse.
oh I see, tks for your explain
btw I really want to watch your group video with this build ^^
lol finally get the gears for this build to run with friends, but I cannot survival in the battle event I change 1 passive to final service
On my way to testing this build too, it looks unique and fun!
I've been playing this build for a bout a week or so and I really like it. Its a great break from the Rat Pet meta. I did change out some of the gear though, mainly since I found two Primals that work well with this build and both rolled 9500 thorns so...

Basically, removed the Endless walk set, switched to a RRoG, Eye of Etlitch and Heart of Iron variant. Also using a CoE for the damage boost. Currently running with 210K thorns and if my math is right, and all bonuses are active, "reflects" of 2.8B should be possible.
Check me on this but here's how I broke down the math:
Thorns -210000
Mainstat - 14000
Passive - 200%
6 pieces set bonus - 3300%
CoE - 200%
+ Physical - 59%
Krysbins - 300%
Enforcer -41%
=(((((((A2*B2)*C2)*D2)*E2)*F2)*G2)*H2) = 2,816,296,560
That seems about right based on what Ive seen in game. If I messed that up, please let me know.
