Build Overview

Welcome back you Filthy Exiles

For this build we are scaling thorns with Crown of the Pale King, Dreadfist and Briarpatch as you normally would, but we are also scaling up damage using Brutus' Lead Sprinkler and using a combination of Brambleslam with Ancestral Cry to tigger even more Molten Shower explosions against bosses.

We are also using Svalinn + Repulsion to invoke huge AOE and Fragility explosions stack.

For further clear we use the Herald of Blood setup with Poison III, Bursting Plague and Bleed III.

For EVENT MORE clear, we use all of this in combination with Iron Ward.

As an overall this build is very tank heavy, has great clear and just looks satisfying to play. See my video as attached for more details on this build and a bit of a showcase of it.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Excellent Clear
  • Tanky
  • Low Stress Play-style
  • Thorns
  • Doesn't One Tap Bosses
  • Takes a Bit of Tuning to Get Right
