A simple Diablo 4 build that utilizes Life Steal is hilariously enough to defeat bosses with, as one player shared their experience and how they defeated such a boss in the game.

Even though Diablo 4 is in its second season with the Season of Blood, players are still finding new mechanics and content in the game. Blizzard are also not holding back as they have lined up new activities and events for the ARPG.

There are a massive number of possible build combinations in D4, however, only with a few of them can you get certain unknown benefits during combat. With the new Vampiric Powers introduced in Season 2, the scope of having diverse builds increases further.

A Diablo 4 player named ‘Stan-with-a-n-t-s’ shared their experience on Reddit as they had a “LOL moment” in the game. They added that you can make a boss kill themself with a Thorns build if they have “Life Drain.”

The OP faced a Blood Bishop with their “Berserker Thorns Barb” and found out that they could reverse the boss’ Life Drain back toward them. The Thorns mechanic in Diablo 4 enables you to revert a percentage of the damage you receive during a fight. With high enough Thorns, you can revert almost the entire damage.

Other players also shared their experiences as one of them said they won against a Blood Bishop by simply taking hits from the enemy, and “the Bishop died after three ticks.” They realized that they could have simply finished the fight by just standing, instead of “dodging” the attacks.

“Thorns are very fun against enemies that attack extremely frequently,” claimed one of the Thorns enthusiasts as many believed with high investment in the skill, players can hit “over a million per tick.” Other players also suggested using the Razorplate Unique armor for this.
