p.s
is this build havy nerfed ?
Most non-cadence melee builds were nerfed in the last patch… Doesn’t make them bad/broken builds… just means they may need some tweaking now. 
That’s the elite (lvl 70, not lvl 50) version. I think he/she was looking for the lvl 50, non-elite one.
realy kk was my fail 
Do we max searing strike or leave it as 1 point?
I was looking for the level 50 one, but no worries. I’ll need the level 70 soon enough. Thanks everyone!
Difference with D3 is Blizz don’t nerf nearly as much as they do in other games. When they do nerf it’s usually just to counter overall increases in item power.
Power creep is massive in that game largely because with an infinite scaling map system it doesn’t really matter. Grim Dawn’s a bit too young to start shouting power creep just yet. The sheer power we see now has been pretty consistent honestly.
will you update this build for v1.0.0.5 ?
111k DPS before nerf => after nerf ???
how viable is the build now?
can survive all 150 waves on gladiator difficulty?
P.S: how to use the attribute points? there is no guide for that in this build? all on physique?
Can’t answer your other questions but this is the general path to take for any build in Grim Dawn at the time of posting.
Cunning/Spirit just don’t give that much damage to compensate for the loss of health, so only get them as high as you need to for gear requirements (should be about ~410 Spirit for the Elite Legion Firestarter weapons), keeping in mind that the ideal gear doesn’t really give much Spirit/Cunning.
so this build still good after the 1.0.0.5 patch? how much dps loss now because of fire strike nerf?
Is Mark of Divinity the preferred medal if I can only have one?
Also curious for this,
Can anyone share ?
maybe around a 25% nerf. lost about 9-10% paper dps. but also lose 15% crit dmg 2 skill points and a bit weaker DW procs.
all top teir builds got nerfed around the same amount i think. deathmarked, ultos, etc. savagery a bit less so due to judicator ring buff.
as compared to other top teir builds, i think the relative strength of this one remain pretty much unchanged. all the top tier builds seem pretty even on dps at the moment.
yes
EDIT:
LOL just realize 1h searing strike nerfed again. small nerf tho, so another 3% dps loss w/e.
maybe they’re set out to make an example out of firestrike like they did to maiven^^
anyhow i’ve quit this game since crucible was a big joke. hope people enjoy the build, it’s still very much viable and good… (for now anyway hehaeohehaeheoaheoho)
so madqueen was 6 sec, how long now? if it is too long i ll stick with my warder if not gonna start with this build since legendary set drops so low
idk, after fix -> huge dps drop + Mad Quin has killed me 3 times 
I enjoy all your builds and for the communauty it was a big loose …
hope you will come back
+100500 i hope too
Same here, his builds are awesome. Is there an ideal prefix/suffix we should aim for on pants? I found Prismatic/Insight, but it’s a major defensive loss to give up bleed/pierce res.
I think there is a problem with the “Grim Calc” because even being 85 , I do not have as many points available.
I have 223 points and you use 310
Can you correct this with the character without gear ?
Thank you for your great work
thanks for the kind words.
i will still check back here and there.
will return to GD if theres new content or something interesting to do.
for now i have zero desire to play crucible.
