    Thanks to everyone for making the first video of the NM100 a pretty big hit and I look forward to continue showing you unique builds throughout the Diablo 4 seasons!

    Probably the most unique and coolest barb build out there, if you would show me before seeing T100 clear, I would never believe it would actually work so well as it did.
    Amazing theorycrafting and I wish you luck in S1.

      @@KingGault **Update for after respec of aspects and skills from a fresh 50**
      It feels super comfortable and powerful. I feel the longer kills from bosses, but that's just gonna happen. I was using HotA before for that, but the chains making enemies vulnerable and the berserk uptime feels like there's a flow to the gameplay that's just plain fun. I feel like the mitigation of damage is gonna be a much more welcomed playstyle, akin to how I feel about a shield healer vs. a pure healer in MMOs. I don't have all of the aspects farmed yet from gear (I have the codex ones) so to have this strong of an impression before it's even complete is marvelous.
      Obviously, you've shown the build works very well for endgame, but to have it be this fun and viable for the leveling process makes it a good all-rounder and, imo, contends with meta builds for overall usage. I feel like you've struck gold here, mate, and I believe your hard work to figure this out is gonna end up helping the community as a whole. Cheers!

    I really appreciate this guide man, I was running whirlwind thorns barb and started flagging really hard around NM 55, I don't even have close to BiS stats on my gear after swapping to your build and I'm already bulldozing way passed my previous plateau. Seriously, thanks a ton!
    On a side-note, I especially liked how in-depth you went into your choice of skills, gear, and paragon points, as well as your thoughts on why you made the choices you did.

    I had a sweet thorns build going with Razorplate up to about level 80, but it started to fall apart in NM dungeons because the damage from mobs was too high and I was lacking damage reduction, but you've shown that with enough DR + life, this can be done again. Looking forward to taking this approach with thorns, thanks!

    Thanks for the guide. Been giving it a go and it is fun in a different way than HOTA and WW. I was having trouble with solo elites and boss damage, maybe my gear isn't as good but in 80+ I was struggling to kill them. I switch Berserk Ripping because I don't believe the damage we get is high enough. I switched it to weapon master for the +1 steel grasp charge and it is working nicely. I also took flay for the extra thorns and I am destroying those elites. I hope to get a 100 done soon. Anyways thanks again for all the work.

    • @matthewmartinez1014
      @matthewmartinez1014 Год назад +1

      You are probably right that frenzy is better. Flay could be so good if I could get attack speed higher.

    • @KingGault
      @KingGault  Год назад +2

      The attack speed is the biggest disadvantage of flay by itself, its pretty difficult to maintain full fortitude with it especially in higher tiers. I'm actually working on a variant of the build that may even be superior as the damage is insane, but stay tuned as I will be trying it in Season 1!

    Nice setup. One issue you have is miss-calculating your lucky hit chance. The imprints % is multiplied against the skills base % chance. This means that 35% (.35) is multiplied against the skill base of frenzy which is 30% (.30). The result is a 10.5% chance to proc the imprinted effect. While this is still worth having, I think it is important that people understand the proc rates of lucky hit chance better than they currently do.

    • @TheAbvsyork
      @TheAbvsyork Год назад

      Good to know. I've always been curious how exactly this works. So, if an ability has 58% (.58) and the imprinted effect is 30% (.30). Then it would be a 17.4% chance to proc?

    • @michaelknadle766
      @michaelknadle766 Год назад +2

      @@TheAbvsyork Exactly! You can boost this by getting additional lucky hit chance on several types of items. This stat will adjust your tooltip lucky hit chance automatically. If you want to see the most accurate numbers you can calculate it manually but the tooltip gives good rough numbers. My whirlwind has gone from 20% LS to 23% LS based on gear. After that the 23% is multiplied by the % on any of my imprints.

    • @KingGault
      @KingGault  Год назад +1

      Yes I have, and it works pretty well! That being said, in higher dungeons, I rely on damage while injured damage reduction, IE 35% hp or less. So the skulls add a little bit to much sometimes, which can end up getting you killed. Therefore, they are great in low NM but not when you are relying to staying low hp :)

  • @kaareanderson2584
    @kaareanderson2584 Год назад

    Awesome video! Quick question, why prioritize ALL STATS on weapons, over something like +damage to (bleeding/etc)? Thanks!

    • @KingGault
      @KingGault  Год назад +1

      The major reason for this is +STR effects our base thorns damage which is already massive. So dealing with a flat % increase to our base damage, when base damage is over 30k, is an enormous amount. The damage buckets from close/bleeding/injured/healthy/slowed do not multiply our damage significantly. Vulnerable damage does. So, you only care about +STR and +Vuln, rest is just icing on the cake :)

  • @keiththompson4605
    @keiththompson4605 Год назад +1

    Thanks a lot for this guide bro, I was trying to make an “off meta” build centered around thorns and I think you nailed it. For speed clearing or farming would you consider Hammer of the Ancients in place of iron skin for a bit of burst dmg since this build has so much stored fury and slows down in a 1v1 scenario? Sorry for the long comment. Love the guide man great job!

    • @KingGault
      @KingGault  Год назад +1

      So glad you are enjoying the content boss, your support really means a lot! If you wanna get schwifty with it, I prefer to replace Iron skin with Death Blow max rank, swap thorns glyph for Mastery glyph (that reduces CD of random mastery whenever a master skill is used) which allows you to basically be able to hit people with no CD with highest base damage that barb offers. Other option would be to fury dump into kick. Problem is with both hota/deathblow is we don't stack any crit or crit dmg, so the hits are pretty... lackluster. The kick IMO works best as it hits upwards of 3 mil with the rage dump mechanic. Hope that's helpful

    Any ideas/thoughts on thorns barb for season 1? After reading the patch notes and messing around on my thorn barb it feels pretty bad, not sure its very viable at all. Also i think they stealth nerfed razorplate.. went from like 11,000 to 9,000 thorns just on the chest. I was planning on going full thorns barb for this season but now im not so sure. Strength on weapons was reduced, as well as DR in general has been nuked. CDR for the shouts feels awful

    So I did a bit of rejigging last night, don't have all the gear or aspects but I'm trying thorns/bleed. I was testing in a NM Champions demise dungeon only a 29 (I'm lvl 79) and guess who showed up "The Butcher" I've killed him twice before, 1st time took me forever, 2nd time took me around 7 minutes but last night he melted in 90 seconds, being bleed for 79 levels I like to get into the middle of a large pack and face tank but I found my HP dropping like a stone so I definitely need more defence as a thorns/bleed.
    But I won't be going back to pure bleed, it absolutely destroyed packs, I currently have 4k thorns unbuffed, just need that Razorplate to drop!!! A bit of work to do tonight sorting my paragon boards etc but it's all worth it. Thank you for the inspiration 😉
