nezha.12: Where is those ppl who say no build in Poe2 without lighting spear

TheGunther30: This build is so much damn fun, I'm sure they are going to nerf this but thank you for sharing it! This is the most amount of fun I've had in PoE2

xxephon: Simple video, straight to the point. Even if it gets nerfed, it goes to show the use of utilising spreadable DoTs to then trigger other effects. The tech might be useful in 0.3 if other uniques/support gems get added, could be another way to do something similar.

Flakzor123: Warbringer breaks armor from any damagetype with the ascendancy node for it, I used it in 0.1 with molten blast armour explosion (great synergy with supportgems since they are both aoe and fire). Early in 0.1 armour explosion WAS self-prolificating but they nerfed that into the ground by explicitly changing the armour explosion support so that it can not break armour. The main bottleneck for repeating armour explosions is that it can only proc on enemies with remaining armor but that can be reset by hitting them with something using the "exploit weakness" support (or any other skill that "consumes" armour break).

ZwrP: if they nerf this then they would have to break herald of plague, its working exactly as intended...

the main reason it spreads like that is because armor explosion is accelerating the kill speed, which makes herald of plague proliferate faster

this same effect happens in strong poison builds using HoP, minus the big high damage explosions

zakschermerhorn505: You have to make a titan build using Artic armor. You have the brain power to do it. You can really buff the ice damage with hulking form and the skill really allows you to put in a ton of options. I ran those pin physical boots and had some pretty big explosions with bone shrapnel gem. Ton of potential. I just don’t have the gold to mess around like I want. Make my dreams come true. Big fan

TrueAussieBogan: Hows it against bosses tho? Map clearing sure, OP lol

But i use your other lightning thorn builds and does kinda hit a wall when one on one boss for everything to proc, the speed slows right down vs other builds that also clear maps fine but wreck bosses. Its where i feel most of these thorn builds fall flat since ya needa take a hit and typically they are one hits that kill ya anyway

brancofreitas13: Oh this game... When you have to explain more about the build getting nerf in the future than the real mechanic of the build...

tomaszklimczewski7378: @KallTorak. I have followed your Thorns Warbringer build and had so much fun playing it. Today I wll give this one a go as it looks sick!

WallySketch: If you go Pathfinder, you don't need Herald of Plague and you can generate frenzy charge this way for a OP clear with Spiral Volley.

Antartiida: Where does the power of it comes from? I am trying to level my titan with this build but Im not doing enough damage for explosions and have the same gems already

xXTurnOnXx: man i use these tech for a week, RIP. (i use armour break to generate the endurance then converted to frenzy charge)

milodebruin4821: Nice work

remilegendre6971: possible to do this tech and thorns ?

danieljohnson270: I'll bet that they are a bit emotionally scarred from the negative reaction at the beginning of this league and won't do any nerfs at all until the next patch, for fear of alienating more people.

lazy_7415: 3G: This makes my vision blind, need to nerf this build.

phreakz13: i try it didnt work

The-Real-aPOC: I understand that GGG has a "vision", but why are they so allergic to giving the player base what they want? I mean without the player base your game is done.

MightyMouthDFT: Good shit, I was leveling a pathfinder to try this out I had a hunch after seeing your titan build with wind dancer but work stopped me from getting the build online. I guess I know it works I really wish I had more time to grind lately. Been slacking on content and consistency is key. But maybe soon I'll get to play more consistently. It'll help me appreciate the upcoming changes taking a break kinda.

Somerled_Pox: This is sweet. Reminds me of 0.1 right before they nerfed chains from armor explosion

ccsccsccsccs: I have been using titan’s crushing impact with devastate and armor explosion on earthquake. So in love with the SFX of armor broken lol there are a couple unique maces that contribute to stun build up that will allow this to work easier. Just sharing it here in case they nerf the poison.

xxephon: Hey KallTorak, I have a suggestion that I think will skyrocket the damage even further. Korihor, another build creator, uses the notable passive "Unstable Bond" to gain 3 volatility when an allied minion is killed sacrifice and profane ritual before bossing. I checked your passive tree, and if you used a second weapon set for this and used the skill points, you would be able to reach it.

I think it would be really beneficial because it grants extra chaos damage, and last time I checked, poison magnitude is determined by physical chaos damage. So, this would amplify your poison damage a lot more, giving a more consistent armour break and explosions.

Your setup could just be to sacrifice minions, take the hit of damage from volatility's explosion, then heal up and run into the first enemy, triggering a significantly higher damage initial Wind Dancer hit -> higher damage poison -> more consistently break armour and faster.

Let me know what you think, and if you use this, please credit Korihor since he seems to have created this tech and he's a smaller content creator for the game.

AlexWLWLAlex: If this survive the patch this week, i am gonna try this

bryansans2564: Yay for patch delay! I might sneak this into ritual thorns

tromend: Alternatively, you can use the boots that explode corpses into gas clouds with corrosion and armour explosion too, it essentialy does this, but with a slower startup.

specialmag7: Won't be nerfed until next season. Its not really better than lightning spear anyway. And they'll have to be careful how they nerf it. There are a lot of builds that use armor explosion poison corrosion. Maybe reduce the interaction with Wind Dancer specifically.
