The Enchanted Flint’s component skill is a toggled aura, and as such gives that bonus to all nearby pets as well. The amulet enchant isn’t for the fire damage bonus, but for the DA bonus and the %reduced damage. The summoner is constantly “attacking” with CoF, vines, and DS, so despite being player only, the enchant has a chance to reduce the damage of every enemy affected.
I thought Reduce Damage only works with attacks that had a % weapon component in them.
I would think that Hell’s Bane Ammo for more lightning damage on your pets is just as good if not better than Enchanted Flint. With two Glyph of Kelphat’Zoth rings, you have +144% Lightning damage on your pets, plus another +100% when the procs activate, compared to just +100% Fire from Hellfire.
In addition, the Hell’s Bane Ammo gives a 12% chance for stun on ALL your pets attacks, which is huge and procs constantly with no recharge. I think that’s much better than Enchanted Flint’s proc of 10% for some burn damage over 3 seconds.
though the skill itself is very nice, the build doesnt allow u to use the component as it is for ranged or caster off hand items.
Hey guys, i chose the order of death vigil instead of kymon, and i think im screwed because the 7% vitality and 7% chaos augment is really good, and i cant get the 10% dmg reducing on the weapon…
Can i do something or do i have to start a new character ? I also spent 8 ponts into spirit for nothing.
Bye guys !
Hi mate, which level you follow Death Vigil? you still have the chance to revise your choice in elite and ultimate difficulty.
BUT, before your change, please boost your reputation in DV and purchase sufficient numbers of augments that are quite useful for your BD!

I think your shield is underwhelming for your build. I would recommend Skull of Gul’Amash as an upgrade!
Hadn’t heard this, but after testing it appears to be true. Wouldn’t proc with CoF, GV, or DS but i did get it to proc with Ring of Steel on my trickster. Since Conjurer’s have no skills capable of proccing this outside of auto attack replacements, i removed the imbued silver from the shield and slotted in a mutagenic ichor. The ichor makes a poison cloud at range with a %weapon component that can proc the debuff on multiple enemies at a time. Searing ember or chilled steel would also work fine.
Whether this is worth the lost resists from the silver is debatable.
The reduced damage will scale down with the % weapon damage. So with ichor you’d be reducing their damage by 1.2% 
I think flint core bolts has the highest % wd component spell at 28%
Hi! Thanks for your answer !
I chose DV in all difficulties ! I think i cant get the augments anymore 
Having tested this build and the pokémon build i tend to prefer the second one, becaus ei feel its good in both atack and defense. I made a test with all items of this build gathered, the right point sin devotion, etc, on the final boss, and it too me longer to defeat him than with the lazy pokémon build. And yet i swear i had all the items of thi build, used all buffs,etc.
I had just started playing this build a few days ago since I haven’t tried out a pet build in GD yet. Now it looks like the 1.0.0.7 patch has nerfed a number of the recommended items - both rings, the amulet, the weapon, the relic and the vulnerability skill. Can this build overcome the cumulative affect of all these nerfs or would you recommend any changes based on the new patch?
It mostly affects pet damage, which was overkill anyway. They will still beat up any Nemesis in 5 seconds. Aggro management and survival is the clutch with pet builds anyway, and that wasn’t changed.
Has the OP run this build through Gladiator after the 1.0.0.7 update? Would love to see a new video showing how this build has been holding up with the mob buffs and the COF/pet item nerfs from the patch, and whether Crucible is still feasible. Thanks!
looks like an awesome build! Ill be giving it a shot on my conjurer. Cant be any worse than im currently doing in gladiator crucible
From the post in the Chinese community that the developer of the BD belongs to, he ran a test after 1.007 and unfortunately, the nerfs to his core gears recently is not a good news to him but he still managed to take down avatar of mogdrogen for 7 mins and 10 seconds.
No video is available, the dev ran the test and reported.
Ta,
Reyes
Thanks so much for the update for us non-Chinese readers! Did not expect to hear that his kill time on Mogdrogen had doubled from his previous 3:30 run - that’s a very huge nerf to DPS.
Yes the patch was a nerf to the dps of this build. However, the dps for this build is still ridiculously good. Performance against bosses, nemeses, Valbury, gladiator crucible, and everything else is still fantastic. Survivability and aggro management remain the real performance metric for pet builds.
Has anyone tried this build in 1.0.0.8?
Has anyone tried this build in 1.0.0.9?
