Explains in detail how to quickly break through Torment 4 and reach the 65th level of The Pit with the Fortress Thorns Paladin build, skill tree, equipment settings, Paragon Board priorities, and how to utilize key legendary powers.

2. 🔥 Proving the Power of the Fortress Thorns Paladin Build: The Pit Level 60 and Boss Battle Demonstration
- ✅ The Pit level 60 play demonstration: With the auto mouse setting, just hold down the F key and move the mouse cursor, and occasionally drink potions.
- ✅ Using the 'Fortress' skill, monsters melt away in an instant.
- ✅ It is expected that 'Fortress' can be used infinitely if Harlequin Crest is used.
- ✅ Party play demonstration: An 80-level Paladin showed a much stronger appearance than a 150-level Necromancer user.
- ✅ The current season tier list is meaningless, and the Paladin is overwhelmingly Tier 1.

3. 🛠️ Equipment Setting Guide: Key Items and Alternative Items
- ✅ This is not the final setting, and some items are missing.
- ✅ Runes: Sir Gar (can be used), Yax Qoa (low efficiency). Tanking, health reinforcement runes are needed.

4. ⚔️ Detailed Analysis of Damage Mechanism: Bash, Blessed Shield, Fortress Utilization
- ✅ Damage Mechanism:
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
| Bash | Thorns increased by 2,000 upon 3-stage Bash. Griswold's Masterpiece, White Dove's Ward used (if not, use any weapon/shield). Shield attack Bash can be used. |
| Blessed Shield | 1% additional damage per 1 shield armor. Additional Thorns damage with Retribution Shield. |
| Fortress | 50% slow to enemies within Fortress, 500% damage of player Thorns damage per second. |

5. 🌟 Key Legendary Power: Analysis and Utilization of the Overpowered Performance of 'Corpse'
- ✅ 'Corpse' legendary power is key for Paladin.
- ✅ Other classes have a 45% limit on high variable damage, but Paladins apply 90% (to sell it?). Many 90% high variable powers exist, such as Beacon.
- ✅ 'Corpse' starts with a bonus of 360% when setting up Aspect and Armor, and can increase up to nearly 800%.
- ✅ 'Corpse' is overpowered to the point of being a bug, and is the key to breaking through Torment 4 the fastest.
06:42 - 08:11
6. 🛡️ Detailed Equipment Setting Guide: Helm, Armor, Gloves, Pants, Boots, Weapon, Shield
- ✅ Helm: Helm of the Unbroken (armor increases according to shield block chance, synergy with 'Corpse'). Shako may be better in the end.
- ✅ Armor: Use Undying Aspect. There are good unique armors, but not acquired yet.
- ✅ Gloves: Recommend Aspect of the Brawn.
- ✅ Pants: Aspect of Obedience (increases armor and synergizes with 'Corpse').
- ✅ Boots: Use any valid Aspect.
- ✅ Weapon: Griswold (new unique weapon, likely to be used in the end).
- ✅ Shield: Can choose between 2 unique shields or use another shield (testing required).
08:12 - 09:38
7. 💍 Accessory Settings and Skill Usage Tips: Amulet, Ring, Key Passive
- ✅ Amulet: Use Reproach Aspect, Fortress cooldown reduction option is important (use Tempering).
- ✅ Ring: 2 Fortress cooldown reduction options, Vanguard's Aspect, Masterwork Aspect used.
- ✅ Valor Aspect: Activated when using Rally skill.
- ✅ The reason why Paladin is Season 2 of the Spirit Caller: Many critical strike related passive skills exist.
- ✅ Weapon: Unique weapon, shield used. Gleaming Armor (15% increased attack power), Giant Killer (15% increased damage to elites).
- ✅ Craftsman's Pride: Armor increases by 50% of shield block chance (currently suspected of being a bug, not applied).
