the best way to deal with thorns is.. use lightning warp and stomp on the mages ass as quickly as you see them. later... incinerate is soo fast the mages die very fast.
i also use a totem with ek knives to draw aggro.

My main concern is with offscreen Lightning Thorns... I've had to leave game twice because of that. After the second time I stopped using it on Ebony Barracks.

In addition to the other suggestions, you can also try Fire Trap. You can squeeze in a 3L with Concentrated Effect and Increased Burning and drop traps on the mages and watch them melt while you run around until thorns wears off.

But, the single biggest thing is to have some spell block. Spell block really takes the edge off thorns and can keep you alive long enough to react, or in some cases, just burn thru the thorns.

Agree, fire trap is a good alternative to deal with Lightning Thorns.

I am having a very hard time deciding to either go GMP or LMP.

currently lvl 89 and my gear is as follows:



With LMP tooltip dps is 2250

With GMP tooltip dps is 1449

Thoughts? Suggestions? I did try LMP + GMP which is crazy but I would need to get GGG BBB on my chest to keep the same gem combos, and that is extremly hard. Any help would be appreciated

I'm trying this build in my lv 31 scion and i'm having a little hard time leveling. Any tips?

I found that for cruel and leveling, a helmet/wand/staff with +lvl to fire gems was the key. It bumps the DPS of incinerate very nicely until you can put together all the gear/support gems necessary to run the build without it.

Hi.

I just got up to Lvl 36 and am getting ready to add in the claw. The biggest thing I noted was that you shouldn't start using incinerate until you can sustain with life leech and lmp/gmp.

Up till then, using spectral throw is great.

I also found if you use

As well as potentially a goldrim, then the resists and blocks cause you to basically be invincible. I'm also running arctic armor for the added benefit of dealing with certain types of damage. I face tanked Dominus at 31 without ever losing life :-)

Is there a way to increase the HP without damaging the build or use totems?
