Pants, Boots & Gloves - Venomguard Powder (https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/458)
Any item of the ones in the above build, except the craftable ones, can be found easily if u farm uber places (sot/boc/port/mourandale/lokkar/crucible - you know…the only farmable and playable end game places), if you don’t already have them, if not, you can join trade games or open games with name like “Need Item Name”, and you will find them very fast.
The most important thing to learn is when to use Mirror of Ereoctes. Don’t panic if your life goes down cause you have Ghoulish Hunger that triggers, also Prismatic Diamond, and as long as you keep attacking you are stealing enough life to survive almost anything.
Always have Wind Devils arround you and right before you start fighting always summon the Storm Totem and the Wendigo Totem.
Wind Devil and Storm Totem are mainly for reducing resistances on enemies more than for doing actual damage.
Olexa’s Flash Freeze is just for trash hoards, but they die fast anyway.
This base version of the build is not for Crucible…yet…keep reading.
15% Life Steal / 130K-140K Sheet Dps / 150K-250K-350K-ish Crits
HAVE FUN !

What has changed ?
[ul]
[li]Medal[/li]
[/ul]Watcher Crest (craftable) - (https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/7786) Craft it at Gaius Ember for %crit.
Try to get more Pierce Res and Bleed Res on it.
Has to have one of the following so you dont have to use Bloody Crystal as compo on it, and you can use Tainted Heart or better Attuned Loodstone for more %crit :
Bloodletter’s (https://www.grimtools.com/db/prefixes/9658)
or Runecarved (https://www.grimtools.com/db/prefixes/9686)
or Tempest (https://www.grimtools.com/db/prefixes/9622)
or Maniacal (https://www.grimtools.com/db/prefixes/9626)
and/or
of Hungering Rifts (https://www.grimtools.com/db/suffixes/10639)
or of Voidfire (https://www.grimtools.com/db/suffixes/10705)
You might even find good Magical rolls for it, but Rare are better.
If you decide to use Bloody Crystal as compo on medal, you can use any other medal that has pierce res on it, and it’s best to be a craftable one so you can get %crit on it. But again, it’s best to max out %crit with this version of the build, so a compo with %crit bonus is best.
[ul]
[li]Pants : Hardest to get item !!![/li]
[/ul]Kinda have to be Solael-Sect Legguards (https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/8155) for the extra ADCTH which is key to the build’s survival.
Drops from Guardian of Solael (http://grimdawn.wikia.com/wiki/The_Hidden_Path)
Have to be Thunderstruck (https://www.grimtools.com/db/prefixes/9666) of Kings (https://www.grimtools.com/db/suffixes/10689) so you maintain all max res.
They pretty much can be ANY Thunderstruck PANTS of Kings, but Solael-Sect also has 2-4% life steal which is very important to the build, and I haven’t tested this version with any other pants.
[ul]
[li]Belt[/li]
[/ul]Mythical Arcanoweave Cord (https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/7971) - You now have +1 to all Arcanist Skills also, and more Chaos Res.
[ul]
[li]Helm and Rings[/li]
[/ul]Craft Mythical Ultos’ Hood and both Mythical Glyphs of Kelphat’Zoth at Gaius Ember for %Crit Dmg on them.
Try to get more Vitality Res on Helm, and more Elem Res on rings.
[ul]
[li]Components[/li]
[/ul]Add Attuned Loodstone (https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/2897) on Medal, and, if u got higher Vit Res on Helm, add another one on Amulet, if not, just add a Tainted Heart (https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/8909) for that max %Crit Dmg with still max Vit Res.
Add Prismatic Diamond (https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/2885) on Helm.
- Augments
Pants, Belt and Boots - Venomguard Powder (https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/458)
Chest Armor, Helm, Shoulders and Gloves - Coven Black Ash (https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/7542)
- Skills
Leave just 1 point in Mirror or Ereoctes, max out Arcane Will and add 6-7-8-9 points in Iskandra’s Elemental Exchange, and check at each point to see when it starts lowering your sheet dps cause of the conversion, and with 18-19% life steal and the new higher dmg and %Crit Dmg, you won’t need a lower CD for it, but if u want u just unskill some Iskandra’s Elemental Exchange and some Arcane Will and you max it out, but again, you wont need it mostly, and this version of the build is to max out the dmg and %crit.
In comparison to base build…
This build wins:
+2-4% Life Steal
+20%(ish) Crit Damage
+10-15k Sheet Damage
+100OA and +50DA
+130% to All Damage (Arcane Will)
+Skill Battle Cry (10% Chance when Hit) 30 Second Skill Recharge
18 Second Duration / 18 Meter Radius
+30%(145% for me in game) to All Damage / +10% Total Speed
This build looses:
-400Armor and -6-10% Spirit
-Skill Chain Lightning (20% Chance when Hit) 2 Second Skill Recharge
Affects up to 5 targets / 135-445(4.2k-14k for me in game) Lightning Damage
This version of the build is also not for Crucible…yet…keep reading.
17%-19% Life Steal / 150K-155K Sheet Dps / 175K-300k-450K-ish Crits
====================================================================================================
[CENTER]ATTACK SPEED VERSION
–> https://www.grimtools.com/calc/8NKmPqQV <–
– VERY FUN FOR MAIN CAMPAIGN –
Yes NORMAL Light’s Defender Gauntlets, they are better then the Myth ones for this build.
Yes no more Restless Remains, with more attack speed, life stolen is faster, so u don’t need that much, and ofc…
This version of the build is also not for Crucible…yet…keep reading.
Stats - add exactly how much u need in Physique and rest max out Cunning for more OA.
It’s your choice if you want to unskill Mogdrogen’s Pact and max out Maiven’s Sphere.
You can get 1 shot if you are not careful in the uber places without Maiven.
15%-ish Life Steal / 180K-ish Sheet Dps / 200k-300k-350K-ish Crits

I LOVE THIS THU-KING BUILD
Get an Alkamos’ Warsword (https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/8774) or even an Alkamos’s Schyte (https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/8768), roll doesn’t really matter, any will work, and add a Riftstone (https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/2862) on it, put it to secondary weapons slot in inventory (swap weapons), and you have your travel piece for fast movement.
– RANGED VERSION –
If you have a Vindicator, this is the ranged version of this Thu-King build (easy to get items - not for Crucible)
–> https://www.grimtools.com/calc/mN4woyrZ <–[/CENTER]
With any version of the build, after adding required Physique, with remaining points, it’s your choice to max out :
Physique (more life/DA) or Cunning (more OA/chance to hit/crit) or Spirit (more damage).
