The Slormancer: Thorns Mighty Knight

[Version0.1.9735]　This build focuses on outputting Thorn with skill damage.

Overview

First of all, I’d like to thank my predecessors for making a great build.

Please note that my English is not good, so it may be difficult to understand.

This build is focused on reaper [Superior Gold-Plated Primordial Sword]
The effect of this Reaper is to increase the damage of thorns, which can strengthen both offense and defense.
The flat damage added by Primordial benediction is enhanced by the skill’s increased effect.

◇Pros◇
>Overwhelming amount of Max Life.
>Stability of high damage. (Min-Max difference is small)
>Fairly good farm speed.

◇Cons◇
>High dependence on stats.
>Farm speed is not the fastest.
>It’s hard to grow a Reaper.
>Without [Gold Armor],always be debuffed.
