Build Guide
Hey guys! I hope you liked the intro
I present you my CRAZY Roland's Thorns build.
I believe noone in the world tried this crazy combination of Thorns applied at 250% increased attack speed.
Unfortunately this build is a "fun" build and not an END GAME TOP GRIFT build absolutely, simply because Roland's set does not benefit to thorns damage directly (like Invoker's or Akkhan's)
Based on my math, the build can push 85+ with p2000-2500 and augments. But i decided not to write "85+" simply because i have doubts people are gonna push it that high
So far i did 73 with crappy gear and no augments at p1300. I struggled a lot to do 74 but i already need some luck there.
What i like about this build?
1) Low gear requirements to do 60-65+
2) Don't need attack speed rolls
3) Don't need CDR rolls
4) Don't really need Area Damage as well.
5) Moderate toughness/recovery in low GR's because we can refresh Laws and Defensive Skills almost instantly
6) Don't need Akarath's Awakening (rarest shield in the game, might not even drop!)
7) Fast stricken stacking because of CRAZY attack speed.
8) Can get S7 stash tab with this
What are the weak points?
1) Low damage overall
2) Very low single target damage (compared to Invoker and Akkhan+Invoker), simply because Roland buffs Shield Bash and Sweep, and not thorns or all damage (like Akkhan's)
3) Can't use Akarath's Champion effectively, because it's hard to fit Akarath's Awakening as well. And without AA shield, AC cooldown is terribly long.
4) Toughness is problematical in 70+. More damage reduction would be nice.
How do you play?
Well, watch the video first of all! And here are a few tips:
1) Watch your wrath level. Don't let it drop below 90%
2) Sweep random mobs as you go to keep 5 stacks of damage reduction all the time.
3) Avoid fighting single elites. Drag them into density.
As for the skill options:
1) Endurance instead of Drag and Quarter for more mobility
2) Laws of Valor - Invincible, instead of Decaying Strength for more Life per Hit (if you survive through the rift but feel fragile at RG)
3) Akarath's Champion - Prophet instead of Decaying Strength.
Thank you!
