Path of Exile 2 Builds - Warbringer Thorns - Forum

" LeFlesh#9979 wrote: Cool thread OP! I'm experimenting with something similar as an Acolyte of Chayula. The ascendancy and monk side of the tree offers Chaos-based thorns to scale off the base physical sources from gear+scavenged plating. I use Staggering Palm to Heavtstun+the Devestate support to break armour upon HS. Purple Flames & Volatility help it scale up in damage. My main gripe atm is that I can't reliably test if Chayula's 'Reality Rending' is functional with Thorns damage. I've requested either an audio/visual cue to be implemented for when RR procs so that I can differentiate between the bonus Chaos proc and Thorns Crit. It will 100% work. Thats a global damage increase to Hits.. which is exactly what thorns is. If it doesn't work in practice, let GGG know in bug reports because it 100% would work.

What about using Titan? Hulking form will help the few thorns passive, and not sure if it work, but I think Stone Skin may help with Revenge the node	Posted by Uryendel#3375 on Apr 9, 2025, 8:01:38 PM Quote this Post

I was looking at your tree, why so much dex? you just need 34 for the first level of rapid assault Also you can add movement skill like shield charge and disengage, shield charge + stomping ground is brutal btw, don't know how it would scale up latter but I'm doing the beginning of the campaign right now and it help a lot (I have the impression it trigger multiple time on the same enemy) Last edited by Uryendel#3375 on Apr 10, 2025, 6:06:47 AM	Posted by Uryendel#3375 on Apr 10, 2025, 6:03:55 AM Quote this Post

Level scales it's health and regen. a lvl 16 gives mine 3.6k life and just under 700 regen. and it still dies to a still breeze tbh. I am using shield charge too. Just by itself though. Stomping Ground is great for levelling but the damage is nothing in endgame.

I'm going through the bottom route, here the path I'm planning: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/2qlqn00m Still on campaign tho'	Posted by Uryendel#3375 on Apr 10, 2025, 10:50:15 AM Quote this Post
Ngl, it's a fun concept but I really wish a better ability could be used alongside as Rapid Assault is great for Rare/Boss but terrible for clearing. Whirling Assault would be perfect. Multiple Hits, AoE and you can move during all of that BUT... You need a quaterstaff. So no Shield & a Int/Dex based Weapon so you lose so much. Maybe later when Axe/Sword will be released.

It's missing some unique, I'm sure we gonna have a big spiky tower shield soon or later (something that open like Window to Paradise but with an iron maiden would be pretty dope) Also str/int ascendancy are probably more thematic for a thorn build with the religious connotation that go with them Last edited by Uryendel#3375 on Apr 10, 2025, 11:22:50 AM	Posted by Uryendel#3375 on Apr 10, 2025, 11:19:33 AM Quote this Post
