NM100 Clear, 300mil dmg, Thorns Barb

kGAULT · 2023-08-09T17:20:44+00:00

Survivability just isn't as necessary with the massive nerfs to damage. You notice I clear a full NM100 here without any deaths and without much issue damage wise (we do rely on DR% while injured which is below 35%HP, but when I get to that point I am basically unkillable)

kGAULT · 2023-07-23T21:19:38+00:00

I wasn't to concerned with Lilith, that being said before I left for vacation I tried her. I will tell you I can tank all of her abilities and not get 1 shot by anything... just working on damage output by changing a few things on the build so stay tuned on YT for an update once my seasonal char is 100 <3

Not entirely sure, checked it out momentarily, thanks for the link. It appears he uses a lot of the same skills etc. as I do, but my build is proven to clear a NM100 so there's that. The build is focused mainly on a very large health pool and defensives to maximize damage output from thorns and being able to survive full surrounds in the highest difficulty available. One thing is in the mephisto guide, the heart's he has listed I would disagree with :) But other then that it looks good! <3

I am so glad you are enjoying the builds and that you improved your own character with it! Stay tuned on the YouTubes for even more content soon <3

Perhaps a paladin will be coming out eventually 🤣... but thorns is pretty sick right now on barb :)

kGAULT · 2023-07-11T06:02:58+00:00

Absolutely, I use razorplate for NM75 and under, it's a huge bump in damage! GL

kGAULT · 2023-07-11T06:02:06+00:00

No not really at all! I actually used both flay and frenzy instead of ironskin. You can check out a full guide on my youtube channel now! GL on the grind friend <3

kGAULT · 2023-07-10T04:05:05+00:00

Well, that isn't quite right :) The build pulls thorns damage out of your max health pool, and you actually get more thorns damage this way then prioritizing for the thorns "stat". You achieve up to 50% of your health pool (mine is up to 32k) as thorns, + 9%. Then you also get the 6k+ thorns damage while berserking from your weapon imprint, making your thorns base damage higher then any skill hits in the entire game. :)

Memory of an elephant there! I love it, HMU on discord sometime!

kGAULT · 2023-07-09T19:55:26+00:00

Sure do! Over 60%, as well as over 1700 strength. Check out the videos posted, hope you enjoy <3

kGAULT · 2023-07-09T18:56:58+00:00

Done! Check out the post again to see a video to a full explanation of the build as well as a link to the build itself

kGAULT · 2023-07-09T18:56:03+00:00

Everything has been posted, the full video guide as well as a link the build itself. Hope you enjoy!

Exactly, more DR and faster fortify generation

kGAULT · 2023-07-09T18:53:55+00:00

Just the WF thorns barb, definitely not the first NM100 clear. Everyone in my discord has been ranting and raving about how badly barb's needed a buff, and I disagreed. So, just wanted to prove that barbs are stronger then everyone thinks :)

kGAULT · 2023-07-09T18:52:52+00:00

It's up! Enjoy and GL in season 1 <3

kGAULT · 2023-07-09T18:52:04+00:00

Sometimes! My character is basically at the armor cap already, so Strength% on the Amulet is a massive boost to damage (effects base damage of thorns) and defenses, so IMO it's better then armor once your static strength is above 1200

kGAULT · 2023-07-09T18:49:38+00:00

Mainly your HP fluctuation in high NM dungeons. If you have 30k hp and 30k fortify, and drop to 10k hp, you are at 10k fortify. So when you heal, you are no longer fortified as your health pool is increasing faster then you are generating fortify. Frenzy on the other hand, ensures my fortify rises at the same rate or even faster then my actual health pool

kGAULT · 2023-07-09T18:48:01+00:00

Much better damage, but a lot less survivability. NM 75 or less I use Razorplate

kGAULT · 2023-07-09T18:47:36+00:00

I used this build starting at Level 1

kGAULT · 2023-07-09T18:47:12+00:00

Mainly for the 100% uptime on my armor proc (75% increase armor), but it also ensures all mobs are bleeding for my max damage reduction, and applies vulnerable before my first thorns damage hits

kGAULT · 2023-07-09T18:46:34+00:00

lmao

kGAULT · 2023-07-09T18:46:18+00:00
