PoE2 0.5.5 | Thorns Ice Shot Martial Artist | Lag Machine Deluxe™ | Pure Glass Cannon™ | Fun.

@Hamdudelda did a interesting video of a martial artist using Dreadfist to apply thorns to critical melee attacks. Shooting projectiles through the barrier will cause the projectiles to proc melee hits - thus making ice shot count as melee. By scaling critical hit chance to 100%, we will spawn hundreds of petals a second in high density or rare/unique monster combats. Causing ice shot to chain, fork off every petal and triggering the thorns damage.

He's using mageblood in his video and I decided to make a non-mageblood version out of his idea. So the main idea is to scale critical hit chance to 100% with the mace and as much crit as possible on the bow to proc as many petals as possible. I convert all my lightning thorns from my gear to cold damage to set off the freeze much easier to maintain power charges to maximize my crit chance. And a few different jewels
