Thanks for the great tool :wink:

This is a very good tool. Great work! Thank you.:slight_smile:

In terms of playing self found, would this be a better choice or the Witchblade: http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42424&page=99

deleted, I understand it

I’ve got 4 of the 5 Markovian pieces but no amulet, so I’ll probably substitute a Peerless Eye of Beronath instead. With the additional +1 to all skills on the amulet that gives me about 12 extra skill points to play around with from what you have listed in your GrimCalc. Where do you think they would be best invested in this build?

I’d get more AS with vindictive flamme and/or more OA from flame toughed first. Strive to get that amulet, it matters a lot:p

Superfluff - I’ve been using the normal and subsequently the empowered Bonesnap Gavel since level 14. I don’t think I’ve seen anything close to an upgrade, but I worry that I’m missing something. I check every item I pick up.

Obviously, if the endgame piece you listed drops…problem solved…but are there any combo of MI affixes I should be looking out for in the meantime? Or another epic?

Thanks!

EDIT: I’m level 72 now…so I figured I’d have seen an upgrade by now.

Yah that Gavel sticks for way too lonng don’t it. Now that you are level 72 look for Imperial maces with Superior/Relentless/Tyrant’s/Officer’s/Frenzied of Alacrity/Fury/Fervor/Onslaught/Voracity<this last being considered best.

If you want soemthing faster than imperial mace you can try Exalted axe but the pierce annoys me.

It’s also worth visiting valbury for that new mi axe

I’m unsure if I should be progressing in Ultimate or grinding gear/rep in Elite.

You can chill in Elite if you want. But stuff like Markovian is not that likely to drop in Elite. Just fet to Farming Ultimate Cronley ti’ll you puke (put points in vindictive for run speed). Do Some BOC here and there for vatriation. When you get stronger (some markovian or warborn items) start thinking about crucible challenger if you intend to play it. Then after you et what you need there get to Gladiator.y

Thanks for the tips. I’m about halfway through Act 1 Ultimate right now. I’ll park myself at Cronley once I get there.

Man I registered just to say thanks for the build.

It’s my second character and the first build I tried was a lot harder.

This build is pretty safe and still do tons of damage with blitz, I have 0 deaths at level 40 in veteran, I consider this pretty good, but I might be just a noob.

Thanks again.

What are you waiting for? You don’t need BiS gear to finish Ultimate. If it is not your first character, then you should be revered with everyone already. Farming negative rep for nemesis hunting?
Look, i’ve just killed Loghorrean with this:

Weapon is Inquisitor’s Imperial Mallet of Alacrity, Myrmidon set, other random things. I use rings to fix resists, and augments in rings to fix resists.

Congrats on amulet. Not a very frequent drop. Got my first one in elite.
Grats on gloves too:)

@gabaeba. Thank you

I traded for this things. I used Grasp of Unchained Might for a while, but then i decided it better fits for my blademaster.

Hey Superfluff, not started a character using this build and really enjoying it. Just one question, what Prefixes/Suffixes should we be looking for on gear while levelling? Seems to me the only thing missing is a bit of Regen to stay alive.

Just so I understand where the devotion skills are attached, is this right:

Blind Fury on Blitz.
Assassin’s Mark on Cadence.
Maul on Warcry? (Guide doesn’t say - that I can see).
Hammer is just a on-block thing so it will trigger when using a shield, no assignment needed.

There’s no Dryad or Chariot in the new skills, so there’s no more to apply (just as well, since I don’t think there are any more skills to use 'em!)
