[1.0.0.8] Poison Shadow Strike (10s Mad Queen, 26s Dummy Kill time, etc, etc)

Updated to 1.0.0.9!

is it just me or… the devotion setup does not show behemoth at all, while the skill is bein suggested in the bindings? … :slight_smile:

Original devotion setup had Behemoth, he must have forgotten to remove that part when he updated the build.

Fixed now.

So, how well this build takes punishment? Because it’s melee build afterall. I’m very interested because i have a poison caster witchblade with not perfect gear yet, highest dot’s i’ve seen have been something around 170k. But it’s very squishy and requires careful approach especially when killing nemesis bosses. In the other hand, i can also kill anything with it, unlike with any of my other builds. And pretty fast too. :slight_smile:

worst build i have ever seen

I have to disagree because of the existence of this build: http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49047

So what weapon would you use if you didn’t have a Rift Scourge Slicer? Mad Queen’s Claw? Fist of the Venomblade?

Venomlash.

Yes. Added to main guide.

apologize for being newbie. but what is the benefit to having Oleron’s blood for one of ur weapons?

Your regard

Oleron’s blood is mostly useful for the skill it gives (Oleron’s Might) because of its 20% damage reduction and its 355% weapon damage (almost like another Shadow Strike)

the OA and the attack speed are not bad either

hmm… not sure i have slot for Oleron’s Might cuz i am playing gamepad. anyway thank you so much

Like Seamann said, Oleron’s Blood do provide a lot of benefits. I would recommend trying to fit it in the skill bar even though it is already crowded.

You spam active skill to reduce boss’ damage. It has limited use, cause it’s melee and has no AoE, but it’s better than nothing. Sadly, if you deal physical damage, then there’s no good component for you. At best, they’re mediocre, like Oleron’s Blood.
But for Witchhuner, there’s a really strong component - Vitriolic Gallstone, it provides significant DPS boost and cant be ignored.

But if you dont really need active skill, i’d rather adviced you to save Oleron’s Blood for crafting. It’s used to craft many powerful items…

Oleron’s Might crits for well over 100k in this build. It’s a significant single target DPS increase, and is definitely worth putting on your weapon.

Sometimes well over 200k

title says it… I am suffering from a lot of deaths… maybe my resist sucks but no life steal is hurting me pretty bad. is my idea about Haunted Steel is okay?:undecided:

I was curious with this build do you level with nightblade or occultist and do you level with a certain set of skills then respec or do you use skills in your finished build as much as possible?

That is up to the player. I usually like to play the intended build but in general people level up with DEE
