Path of Exile Thorns Build
#pathofexile2 #pathofexile
Expect an update video within a day or two! I have effectively tripled my damage right now, and I think I can maybe get magma barrier to 1 million damage. It's at 300k right now…magma barrier to the moon 🙂
Edit: I have it doing over 1 million damage now. Shits insane xD
By the way you can get +3 melee skills on your Amulet, or if you get the Fireflower Solar Amulet you can get up to +4 on Fire skills that will bump your damage.
Did you level with magma?
This build also scales decently with herald of ash / cast on ignite – corpse explosion. But it will be probably overkill.. also some rare mobs and bosses will never trigger magma.. you are going to need back up plan.
magma barrier titan when?
Hey, i have a very good uniq shield (The surrender) but with only 340 armour. Do you think the skill dmg will be too low? Im not thinking on using the magma barrier as main dmg though
Bloodmage is the tankiest build naturally. Gains HP back from ascendancy tree and 25% of damage turned to dot. With the high armour your dot is like 200Hp or so. The inherent life leech frees up gear affixes. Using it on controller the bloodmage is terrible with her aiming of spells, has more success abstracting tank builds like this. Gimmie a couple days 👍
i put "exploit weakness" on magma barrier for more damage and i think "Hunker down" passive can help with survival
Im using magma build in endgame T15-16, with warr, 1,5M DMG. Biggest weaknes of this build is that you need enemy to hit you with hit. So you will find that some bosses or elites are not hitting you because they do other stuff like casting and aoe. Its impossible to kill them with just barrier.
Can you do this while leveling or not recommended?
This is amazing, I have been disliking warrior from day 1. Died like a 100 times throughou campaign. Definitely willing to try this. For the other viewers that enjoy this build and video Please do like and subscribe guys! Support this amazing creator 🙏🏼
how is your AOE almost the entire screen, my aoe nodes you took are the same, but my aoe is only half. ty
Wouldn't gemling legionnaire be better for this than witch hunter? +1 to skills, more quality is more damage scaling for magma barrier and easy max fire res cap. You should also absolutely path to and grab Giant's Blood, because you can get +7 to melee skills on a twohander. With that setup, I'd expect you to be able to get level 30+ on your magma barrier, which according to poe2db will amp the base damage and added fire damage by like 200%. As for the anoint, there's Cremation for a 25% exposure and 15% pen, or Unexpected Finesse to gain accuracy equal to your Strength.
I also wonder if nodes that increase Shield Defenses would increase Magma Barrier damage too, or if MB scales off of base shield value, because there are single nodes that give 100% increased Shield Defenses.
This Build is Awesome!! Love the unorthodox combo!
I wonder if this would be better with acolyte with all the extra damage as chaos
Plz save my warbringer, I want to play magma barrier too 😢
HOLY THE SEASON OF DISCOVERY FARMLORD IS HERE
titan pls
We are waiting for the Titan!
Can u invest in move speed and walk with shield raised? Would be very cool.
Movement is the second most important stat, since maps in POE2 are bigger than POE1.
Wanted to do something like that as Gemling and play with the ascendency which increase max res, thanks for the idea love your build !
Hmmm idk if this is viable but Acolyte of Chayula might be good for reflect since it scales all your dmg with added chaos and you can go a mind over matter build with mana leach for survivability
its possible to make it hit for 10 million 🙂 pretty op
Nice build, I'm doing something similar with an infernalist witch, aiming for a low-life ES version of this idea, but with Ancestral Bond totems as well. I figured as the gearing is somewhat similar I could combine a block build with sunder totems. It won't come online until my third ascendancy when I can gain a couple hundred more spirit but so far magma barrier, resonating shield and a single totem have felt very comfy. Also I haven't reached it on the tree yet but have you checked if Core Of The Guardian node increases the damage from your shield or if it only increase the contribution to defenses?
BTW there's a spot down on the south-west of your build where you could save two nodes by pathing along the outside ring past Avatar of Fire then clearing between the jewel nodes on the path you've taken to it's right. Unless you're planning to backfill to get Resolute Technique and Heatproofing, in which case it's net even whether you path on the outer or inner ring.
I'm playing something similar with infernalist converting the damage taken to fire and reserving 25 % life to be low life, focusing on armor break with resonating shield to crit with Sunder. I use magma barrier for clear and sunder for bossing.
This has really nice synergy with cloack of flame but eventually I felt still too squishy so I changed to the 50 % life converted to ES and now I have 8k ES and can't die…
For Warbringer Ascendancy – if you have problems surviving magic hits, the Turtle Charm allows you to block all hits, even ground aoe. And that would improve proc rate of Magma Barrier.
If you go titan you can probably use Avatar of Fire. There is also a unique chest that does Fire Thorns damage. I'm not sure it is any good but it exists. Oh, nvm you already know.
Titan sounds good for this
is leveling with that possible?
There is a node thay grants you movement speed every time you block, and its uncapped
Its next to glancing blows, i think it might make mapping quite fun, zoom
Spirit neck and Herold of fire
Great build!
I'm currently experimenting with Svallin's Cast on Block with my Gemling Legionnaire.
You are giving me some ideas with your build.
Keep experimenting! 😀
You should go over the support gems in these build showcases. They play a big part to the overall playstyle.
You need to get added fire damage to attacks on your rings. Check out magma spray attack percent. To do this, hover over the magma barrier, hold alt, click on magma spray. My magma barrier is lvl25 and has 711% attack. This means that every 1 point of flat damage is turned into 7.11. This is how you boost your damage by insane amount. A breach ring with flat fire damage would be massive. But really, any flat damage. The best ring would probably be added damage for all 3 elements and then have a elemental catalyst on a breach ring. This would turn 1 damage into 1.5 (from catalyst) then into 12.16 damage with magma sprays damage %. You can also get +3 melee skills on you amulet, making the potential max of magma barrier 34; 20 gem, +1 corrupt, +1 fire mastery, +2 gloves, +3 amulet, +7 weapon (with giants blood). This will probably get that attack % to like 1500%, I'm not sure, but it would be crazy.
I still recommend Warbringer. Renly's Training, Anvil's Weight and Encased in Jade. Jade gives 1% physical damage reduction and stacks up to 10. It's very hard to find anything that powerful in the game at the moment. Armour Break itself is bait, but it allows you to use Exploit Weakness for 50% more damage when the Armour Break is consumed. It's massive. This would turn that 12.16 damage into 18.24. Then pairing that with Execute gives another 40% more to bring it up to 25.53. For every 1 damage, you turn that into 25 damage. So crazy; and that is just at gem level 25.
Definitely drop Overwhelming Presence. You are not focusing on stun or ailments. Charge Infusion will give you more defense while having an Endurance Charge.
Armour Explosion on you Resonating Shield would be so strong with your AOE and Witch Hunter explode. You would probably clear the whole screen quicker.
Thanks for the shout out. Its actually baus Huck. But its cool, everyone thinks its bau shuck. lol. The build is fun to play and you explored a different way to play than I did. This is what makes PoE great. I am jealous of your AoE.
Dang I just started making your thorns build
What are the support gem setups for magma barrier and resonating shield? You do not hover over them in the vid and it’s too small for me to tell
The mad lad actually found a use for one handed mace. 😀
Nice build! This is what PoE is truly about, build crafting!
what actually ARE the supports on magma barrier?
I think Time of Need over Overwhelming presence would be a better thing. Might be worth checking out. The bursts of life + cleansing of curses/ailments about every 7 sec is helpful
How much does shield armour scale the damage? Because there are lots of +defence on shield nodes around you that can tally up to about 400% more defence (as titan) which applies to its armour and presumably the phys damage reduction stat too. This also comes with the 2-3% bonus damage per 75 armour on shield notables (greatest defence and spiked shield).
Yo, have u considered going Gemling on this build? Your health would be insane.
Interesting concept. I'm levelling a warrior to try combination of Svalinn, Fireflower and Olrovasara (or Howa). Wonder if it will allow infinite procs with fire orb in cast on block setup
I playing as Titan Warrior Magma & Resonating Shield, already 160k DPS on Magma, but i'm not focusing only on trigger magma but on armor break detonating, and one totem to pull agro on mobs and damage. Works very, very well, on breaches. I wanted to create real fast titan warrior tank usltilizing resonating shield as damage dealer n totem via magma barier which clears whole screen, one shooting rares and everything. Totem damage is decend too, it stuns it knockbacks enemies. I really dont like builds where you focus on one thing. Like only totem, only magma, only something. I just wanted to plas as warrior on close range blasting everything. Where i have to roll back i use my totem to pull of agroo from me and clear, kill too. On my channel i have little showcase on pre build, now i clear whole screen with resonating shield, magma, totem. I really like my build because on leap too, i like moving and fighting with everything at the same time, leap here – resonating & magma, leap here, leap out, in, shield bash, etc. I thought about reroll on warbringer but i will stay on titan to see what i can reach on my build. I have to improve only my equipment now and maybe gems.
Some notes:
You don't have much crit and you're not building for crit. Go with Resolute Technique and you'll have 100% accuracy and won't miss the crits with your current setup. Also, get + skills on your amulet. Also, you can get +7 melee skills on a 2h mace if you run Giant's Blood (to wield it one-handed). You'll be doing probably double damage with those changes.
it makes me angry that shield charge doesn't trigger magma barrier even though the tooltip says "While charging, your Shield is raised and you will Block all incoming Blockable hits"
i usually dont comment at all on youtube but ill do it now.
please keep it up, i enjoy every single video A LOT. thank you mate.
this build looks pretty fun, please do a full guide <3
I need a Stat-stack gemling version of this. I feel like it's insane.
HES DONE IT AGAIN
