When it comes to your gear, what you're looking for is life on all pieces. On the belt, shield, and body specifically, you're going to want thorns. Your Crown of the Pale King and Briarpatch naturally come with thorns, so you get quite a bit there. On your necklace and gloves, you want crit and crit damage, respectively. For the most part, everything else is just about covering resistances and stacking HP.

Just remember the core function of Infernal Cry is to proc Battershout So that you consume the armor on uniques so that your Scavenged Plating Refreshes your thorns. This isn't as important when mobbing but when you're bossing you need this to maintain your thorn stack.

For the most part your ascendancy tree is pretty straightforward you're trying to grab as much crit too to benefit specifically your thorns you're grabbing block And pretty much any increased physical damage on the tree is used in this build . It comes to the attribute stacking area Polymathy I havent specifically specked into this just yet but this could be a pretty good angle if not just take all the max resistances like Prism Guard and Unnatural Resilience

Atlas Tree

Strong boxes fills kinda juicy in the end game not sure if it's good but hey this is what I'm doing.

How it Works

The core concept of this build is very simple you run in you hit them with Armour Breaker This will reduce their Armor making them take increased physical damage. Get you back you retaliate with a burst of thorns and because you retaliated you Armour Breaker supported by Barbs and Quill Burst Well eventually will deal A large area of effect Of Thorns damage to enemies.

When facing off against a unique enemy you will eventually break their armor you will then after utilize Infernal Cry supported by Battershout To consume the armor break so that your Scavenged Plating Give you more thorns to face off against a boss. The fight is very straightforward throughout the entirety of the game
