[1.0.0.5][Caster][v1.0](u)(vid)(g2) Acid/Poison Witch Hunter

Lvl 56.5 so far, 0 deaths, and rushing melee like a madman. Love it.

This build still working patch 1.0.0.6?

GD patches don’t really make or break builds fwiw, just minor tweakings. Literally nothing changed in 0.6 for this build except shadow stike has a slightly shorter cooldown when ranked up

Can’t understand what skill i should assign to Akeron’s Skorpion. Evil eye is taken by manticore. Some item based skill?

Dreeg’s Infinite Gaze from Mark of Dreeg. Perfect Synergy.

Abomination - max all or just left poison side?=)

This should be added to the main guide, had to search through the thread for it. Sadly, forum search is completely useless: searched for scorpion and it said no matches.

Just poison, the chaos doesn’t do anything for us.

I actually changed the devotions up a little bit, pure offense. Seems legit so far.

This gets the extra Acid/Poison damage on Affliction, and 15% all damage on Raven (plus spirit to help me equip gear without investing too much in spirit, 18 points spirit, rest phys currently) and Oklaine’s Lantern for some energy regen and 50% all damage.

Ultimately, I’ll probably take one out of Oklaine’s, 3 out of Raven, and finish Affliction off for 10% crit, and 2 in Hawk for 8% crit, but I’m not 85 yet.

Using Runed Dagger of Dreeg and Plaguebearer of Dreeg as my weaps, I took Breath of Belgothian for Dual-wield, I also changed my skills up as well, as overcapping CoF/Vuln isn’t that great, same with BoD, with Breath of Belg, I don’t need any other healing.

Super easy and strong build with almost no requirements.

The only thing it really need is Mark of Dreeg.
Mid-level gear can be obtained from Rovers and their Rep is easy to farm.
Reflective enemies aren’t a problem as our own Poison\acid res is always capped and Blood of Dreeg buff is just perfect is someone reflected your DoT.
And the best thing - almost no “troublesome” enemies have high resistance against poison. For build like Vit Conq and Bleed there are tons of enemies with Resistances.
Currently leveling it, and abilities are in perfect synergy - usually, if enemies close up to caster it lead to troubles, but with this build it just the way you want it to be - Curse of Frailty with Veil of Shadow make them so slow and weak, while Blood of Dreeg and Pneumatic Burst buffs you so much, it’s very hard to die.

Hey there, just started plaing the game, and somebody directed me here as I was looking for DEE build. Wanted to ask if Focused Gaze is necessary? Or would it be too much of a damage loss? I generally like to have a spammable attack and it seems like all the main damage attacks in this build are on CDs :slight_smile:

Definitely not necessary. I’ve compared kill speeds with and without focused gaze and they are pretty dang similar, I care more about the reduced phys damage than a second off a boss kill time :stuck_out_tongue: Make sure to buff up vile eruption as much as you can if you go the spam route. You will need an ectoplasm or two if you go the spam route as well, it uses a solid amount of mana at really high ranks. A little energy leech and spell absorption works nicely. A focusing prism on your medal is great too for reduced skill cost and more crit damage

Also worth noting that the less OA you have the less effective gaze is, because it because it can be difficult to make use of the +crit damage with bad OA. ACB actually has some pretty poor item choices in this regard, his OA could be way better w/o really losing anything else. I have about 1k over him.

Thank you for explanation and tips! OA stands for Offensive Ability as I understand?

One more question, what type of weapons should I be using for leveling? Does it matter? Or shoud l I just use anythign with +% Poison/Acid damage?

Yup OA is offensive ability

Just use w/e you can find, rovers and homestead both offer some poison boosting gear none of it being particularly good afaik.

If you were willing to farm in elite/ultimate the green Groble clan’s toxic effigy can actually be pretty beast with a good prefix/suffix. I wouldn’t bother in elite, but if you can’t find or trade for a good legendary offhand in ultimate it might be worth considering. A really nice one would just as good (or even a tiny bit better?!) than the legendary offhands in terms of damage

If your build is better, why dont you post it? ;p

Im pretty new to the game.
I still can use the build linked on first page or there’s some changes with new patch?

ty

It’s still up to date, there have been no change since 1.0.0.5 (at least no significative one)

ok great

about attributes and leveling progression?

Hi,

I just start the game with this build, is it still aviable for high level ?
I’m just lvl 36 and still working.
Do you have some tips for a beginner player for more XP ? Damage ? :slight_smile:

Did exist some specific place to drop the set/items or not ?

Thanks :slight_smile:

Hey ACB,

Great build mate. I am really new to the game but I’d like to give this a go. I dunno if you are back playing GD or not, but if you have the time I reckon there’s a few things that new players who haven’t really got all the basics down could benefit from…np if you’re done with it, but here’s what I was thinking:

skill progression. Mastery choices by level, and why.

devotion progression - when to choose specifics.

Gear priorities when levelling would be well helpful. As in which stats are we looking for on gear as we go? Priorities, in order.

possible new gear for HC?

Relics?

Quick question… i saw the points in Throne(devotions) and they were not needed for another requirement. So i switched it to this: http://grimcalc.com/build/1008-UZMenF Isn’t the ability in Behemoth much better than some stats from Throne, gives you another great heal plus i got another point left and got some extra health… Would love to hear some feedback cuz this seems way better imo…
