welcome back, you filthy Exile. So, I uh, I promised that I would level this build up, and I made a PO before the start of the league, and I really want to play it. As you can see, you sort of get a bit of an idea and off the skill here. This is Dorian's Touch, which is Thunderfist, so yeah, this could be really cool. Now, right now, where this is currently sitting is this is like me doing a bit of a teaser preview of what this might be. I have no idea where this build's going to go. Uh, it could go absolutely in terrible directions, or it could end up being an actual decent build. But Thunderfist this league got a 1,000% uh multiplier right from 600% to 1,000%, and we got Clander Rings back in the game, which are in here. So if we use Dorian's prototype, basically we stack armor to deal with our lightning uh damage, and then beyond that point, we then do lightning resistance does not.

affect lightning damage taken anymore. Nearby enemies have lightning resistance equal to yours. So then we have negative kandra Rings right 101% and 90%. So that's 191% negative resistance that we apply to enemies around us based on the dorian's Prototype. Basically you do the math. It should hit like an absolute truck now. Uh Ridge walls curse does work with doriis funnily enough. So it does give me crit. Right so I have crit up to 30% right now. And that's going to go up significantly more as we level that up and we increase the crit multi and stuff like that with the PO and tree. So crit does work. So it's going to hit hard. Now beyond that point I think I'm going to use the sealin. The reason why I want to use the sealin is number one it gives me lucky block which is great on the Gladiator and you'll see in a moment. I have like no resistances without my flas being up. Uh but outside of that it um it really

does make the uh the zerker pretty tanky compared to what it usually is. So the lucky block at 58% or 55% is more like 70 like 6% 75% and like 7 or maybe even like 80 something per block for spell and attack. And then I'm thinking we use ward in this build to mitigate the rest of the potential damage taken. Then we stack armor. And then all we need to do is focus on fire and cold resistance and Chaos resistance in the build. And we have like you know two sockets to do or three sockets to do that in gearing. So we can do that in the helm, the belt, and the um and the boots. Now I'm also thinking potentially that we could get rid of the Mana cost by using devouring DM um and basically run alrich Battery built into the build. To do this could be really interesting. Not sure yet how we're going to do it. The other thing because of saalan special unique attribute is beyond Lucky Block is

trigger a socketed Elemental spill on block. We could stack a ton of shock, and the easiest way to do this would be ball lightning and overcharge. And we basically get to 50% shock on enemies, and then we go and smash them with um with our fist. The other thing we could also do is secrets of suffering. And basically we could do um, we could do even more damage. And on the boots, we can also put brittle in. And since we can tank stuff, um, that's a big advantage. The other thing we could have, I think life on hit might work on this, but I've got culling strike right now. So yeah, there's a number of things that we can do to basically get this build kicking and working. And, uh, I'm interested to see where it can go. Do I have a PO? Yes, I do. It's not perfect, it's really crude. This is currently like really early days. I have no idea if this is going to work. But just on this setup here, we get to 27% in sand stance.

325,000 in our blood St. so it is already hitting pretty hard on like level 8, 9, and 11 gems. No awaken gems, and we do use Trinity. So the tree that I've got doesn't scale for resonance. And the other thing that you could do is technically you could put a replica abysus into the build if you could balance it well enough. And you could get it hitting like an absolute monolith. And say we had like any sort of resonance like 20 resonance or whatever it might be, this could potentially hit really, really heavily. The other thing is there's no fortification in the building. Even on the chunky tree that's sitting on, it's got 82,000 effective hit pulls. So it already outperforms a number of builds that have been put out by other players. The other thing we have is Smite proc in this build. So we get temporal auras from Smite, which could or could not be bad. I'm not entirely sure, haven't figured it out yet. But we're

going to test it anyway. I'll show you some gameplay on the Blood Aqueduct. At the very end, I'll show you what it did to Merk Laab. Basically, just obliterated Merk Laab. Once you get to level 63, you can switch it in. And 67, you can switch to your rings and your prototype. But yeah, I'm interested to see where this build goes. If you want to see any more from this, don't forget to put comments in the thing and be like, Hey, what the hell? I didn't know you could build this build. Anyway, let's test the build out, give you guys an idea of what it looks like, and you can determine for yourself if you think it's cool. And let me know in the comments if I should proceed building this out or if I should just scrap it and move on to something different altogether. All right, our time. So we basically just shield charge through, and then we go boom. And as you can see, it's not bad. Got a little work to

go so now we have temporal aura. I rather like it, and as you can see, it's really pain. I don't know where that Pop's coming from either is, and once you hit it with that [__] does do a hell of a lot more damage. There we go, so yeah, if you think this is uh cool, let me know below, and I'm going to try and build this out and get this build working. I have no idea if it's going to work. I thought I'd just share since uh tonight I'm going to be probably live streaming shield crush so I can get some currency up so I can fund this build and some further upgrades to shield crush. But yeah, anyway, if you like videos like this where we troll some wayy and Zachy builds, uh wayy and wacky builds, sorry AKA what I used to call and still call bills builds sort of stuff, um, don't forget to like and sub to the channel, and uh, don't forget to follow the twitch, and I will see you

Analysis of Thunderfist Build with Dorian's Touch

The Thunderfist build has the potential to be powerful in the new league with the 1,000% multiplier and the reintroduction of Clander Rings.

By stacking armor and utilizing Dorian's Prototype, the build aims to apply a significant negative resistance to nearby enemies, making it hit hard.

Additionally, the use of Sealing is considered for the lucky block and resistance benefits, especially when the flask is not active.

The build focuses on making the Zerker tankier by significantly increasing the lucky block percentage and using Ward to reduce potential damage.

It also prioritizes stacking armor, fire and cold resistance, and chaos resistance, using gearing in the helm, belt, and boots.

Additionally, the build explores the possibility of eliminating mana cost using Devouring Diadem and incorporating Mind over Matter.

Lastly, it considers stacking shock on enemies using ball lightning and overcharge, as well as incorporating life on hit and culling strike for added advantage.

The build currently has high potential for hitting hard on various gems, especially with the use of Trinity.

Consider incorporating a replica abysus into the build for even heavier hits, and explore the impact of Smite proc and temporal auras.

Testing the build in gameplay will be crucial to determine its effectiveness and potential for further development.

The speaker is excited about a new "temporal aura" in the game, which seems to cause significant damage.

They plan to live stream their gameplay to earn currency for their build and upgrades.
