Sister of Thorn Build - Bleed for the Blood God
By Leine
A build that has enough unique interactions that I believe it's worth documenting.

A Murder of Sprites


More damage, don't think about it too much.
A Sustenance of Leechlings


This passive makes it essentially impossible for you to die to chip damage and only leaves you vulnerable to overheads.

"Full Health" includes temporary health and is based off current maximum health so if you pick up grims it still works same with the other attack speed talent.

This effect is extremely powerful regardless of what temporary health talent your party members are running as long as they're running a temporary health talent.
Don't think about it too much.

Is effected by An Attendance of Munificents
An Attendance of Munificents

Boon of Shallya for the entire party, presumably stacks.
The Weapon


Pierces everything, melee attacks are extremely powerful, endless amo, only 3 shots before you need to reload, essentially a needle. The 6th hit in the light attack chain does bleed damage.

Bread and butter for this build.
Talent 1


The other passives really just aren't that great and you're likely going to get more temporary health from this passive than the other one.

•Effected by An Attendance of Munificents(25% Increased Healing)
Talent 2


A not so great passive that turns into a 100% uptime 15% power buff in this build.
Talent 3


More power for the javelin.
Talent 4


Nothing really compares to this talent especially in this build.
Talent 5


3 guaranteed Critical Strikes each time you or someone on your team use's their ult.
Stacks endlessly and does not expire.

Essential for this build despite the other talents being fairly decent.

Can be useful for guaranteeing the Swift Slaying Trait on weapons with low crit.
Talent 6


This is the only talent makes spamming Thornwake during purple potion useful.
Very good for squishing everything up if not outright killing whatever you hit.
The stagger effect is still there which will allow you to use it offensively and defensively.
This staggers everything, monsters and bosses included.

No one should ever get grabbed by a monster or boss with a SoT in your party.
Trait 1


Essential for the build, other traits are better if you're not going to follow this exact build.
Makes it so you never have to reload the javelin as long as you hit something and it is a crit.
Trait 2


Purple potion go brrrr.
Trait 3

This makes Isha's Bounty have an uptime of 100%, also not a bad trait by itself.
The result
At the end what you should get is the ability to fire 6 shots of javelin with 1 ult use, 9 with 2 ult use, and 12 with 3 ult use without having to reload your javelin all guaranteed criticals, essentially allowing you to trivialize patrols.

Using a purple potion with decanter will allow you to get upwards of 26+ guaranteed criticals hits which you can use for 26 javelin shots or to use with melee javelin hits.
The burst in this build can be enhanced further by replacing Isha's Bounty with Atharti's Delight making every hit bleed.
Optional Talent


Adds bleeding to your critical hits, more burst to your throwing in theory havn't done the testing against the 15% additional power from Isha's bounty, someone doing the math would be great.

1/2 The goal is 100% Isha's embrace for javelin damage and your ult, natural bond is fine but there are other traits that are just as fine if not better for certain situations.
This is not about break points it's about more damage for the javelin.
Incandescence is fine if you're using it right it's in fact the exact opposite of the situation you just explained, I don't know why you think having incandescence requires you to play super conservatively when that would just be a user choice.
As long as your ult and 1 stack of incandescence is on cooldown it just means you have 1 additional ult usage as if you weren't running it at all, it's all user choice.

2/2 Radiant inheritance is a good talent indeed and in fact has higher burst damage on this build but you will run out of the passive before you can fire all your critical shots when running a purple pot.
Conversely using the same logic you applied to incandescence it makes more sense to always save the single stack of ult you have to use radiant inheritance for an oh shit moment.

You should already have 100% Isha's Embrace uptime during fights, natural bond is honestly bad, especially since it doesn't have a breakpoint with just An Attendance of Munificents to make it heal 2 hp per 5 instead of 1. Enhanced Power for javelin does literally nothing as it reaches no significant breakpoints, especially since you're going for Morai Heg's Doomsight, which allows it to oneshot any non boss/monster enemy (and CW with headshots). You'd much rather have Smiter for the 20% increase in melee power. Incandescence is a complete meme that requires you to play super conservatively with your career skill which is not only a bad strategy but also contradictory to the damage oriented Bloodrazor Thicket build. You'd get a much higher DPS boost with Radiant Inheritance.

Wounded as in missing health. It's just more damage, it has nothing to do with the bleeding status effect. If it does that's news to me and very cool I guess.

Does wounded enemies stands for bleeding enemies

This is solid. Great synergy.
