[1.0.0.4] Cadence Witchblade - 100% unkillable, 100% faceroll build

Think so, don’t know the raw stats offhand, but I have around 15.6k. The real benefit is Markovian 5pc for shaving time off cooldowns.

Yes it does. you should get to around 15K health easily with it. Has lots of flat phys damage too and the Full set proc it has is excellent.

Could someone please post the skill tree without gear, not bothered about the devotions I can follow that fine.

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

If I don’t have the properly affixed bonesythe, is the Warborn Gavel a better alternative to the Reaver’s Claw? I’m not sure how much the pierce conversion is compensated by the speed for a true reflection of damage output.

Reaver’s claw is garbage. Do not use under any circumstance. A half-stat’d Bonescythe is better because of 0 pierce conversion. Warborn is probably BiS. Can’t get one to test. (Haven’t been trying hard enough).

Thanks for the quick reply! The Warborn Gavel certainly feels better, but that usually doesn’t mean a whole lot behind the scenes when all the flat damage calculations are addded in :slight_smile:

Just need to not die on the Mad queen at wave 147 now!

Mad Queen is pretty simple, shouldn’t ever die to her! Just gotta make sure you clear trash to see her Aura.

So while Warborn Gavel+Haunted Steel is being generally accepted,
how does the whole set feels like defense-wise?
Hopefully more ppl are getting the set now…

& How high Lvl can we get on Menhir’s Bulwark if Thornhide Legguards is used in Warborn build?

only got the chest piece of the wornborn set, getting the rest doesn’t seem to be an easy task.

Been using the witchblade for a while now, (level 80) and feeling pretty godly in the process. got a fair amount of gear including Oleron’s Wrath (which I have to say a huge thanks too Macdeluxe , for helping to craft it)

But yeah, looking for the rest of the set, probably will take a while.

I got a question: does break morale stack with the black star of deceit debuff ? Because break morale is physical flat reduced and black star is all resistances flat reduced.

Bye !

Killed Fabius on Ultimate with a patchwork version of this build today, I honestly never thought that would happen. RNG hasn’t been kind, but I do have warborn gavel, warborn visor, siegebreaker, black matriarch and menhir’s bastion.

I just wanted to say thanks to all who put in the time and effort to develop the build and also repeatedly explain it. CWB is a fantastic example of what the Grim Dawn experience can amount to.

No, this type of reduction will never stack even if one is reduced all and another is specific. Only -XX% stack

Ok mate, so if I use the warborn set, its better to have a badge of mastery +5 cadence ?

Can anybody post a clear list of which devotions to get (as in if you don’t get all the nodes in a constellation)? OP is just a bit vague about it.

So i’ve been farming for Markovian set for nearly a month with no luck at all, not a single drop. Is there any specific area/mob where the items could be droped.
tnx for the build its really working well even without the set

If you have the Crucible DLC I strongly recommend Challenger Difficulty for a great risk-reward ratio. I needed the Markovian Distingtion for so long and finally got it in there and then moved on to Gladiator farming.

If you don’t have crucilbe it’s just BOC, Cornley, Fabius, maybe the new rougue dungeon in 1.0.07 and Tyrant’s hold. I got the shoulder armor there for example.

Chest Armor in Cronley runs.

i dont have the DLC, BOC, Cronley, Fabius, mostly my main farm. Did you crafted shoulder arm from the blacksmith in Tyrant hold. I gess ill keep trying :), something will pop up. tnx anyway

Finally switched to this build and it feels really good even with my crappy gear (suffice it to say that the best weapon I could find is Empowered Thirsting Maw).

Survivability really skyrockets when you go from 2H to sword-and-board. Which is kind of sad because 2H is so much fun…

Just need to remember that stuff can crit you for ~8k on Challenger (probably less if you have a Tyrant’s weapon). Particularly, Bloodlord + Shar’Zul + Alkamos + Sentinel + OA mutator + Crit damage mutator combo on wave 149 can really fix your wagon.

If you worry about that put few point in War cry and problem solved.

What constellations are best and in what order? The Kraken is worthless cause it requires ranged or 2H weapons.
