1. Build intro
Hi, I’m happy to introduce you to my tactician build, which I’ve been working on a lot. I hope you will like it)
2. Backstory
Makiavelli was named in honor of victorious tactician, lived long times ago before he was born. Actually, he hated that name, it was so unlike the names of his peers, for him it seemed pompous and alien. But such was the will of his parents, and the young Machiavelli could not drop the honor of his ancient family, known for valor in battle
From a young age, the night blades and the legends that enveloped them, this spirit of mystery and adventure, they all beckoned the young man. But it was only an empty fancy, which quickly crashed on the stern service in the ranks of the Imperial army.
That all changed after an ill-fated Stripping the nests of the heretics, for which he and a few volunteers took inquisitor Galian. The operation turned into a disaster, his comrades were captured and sacrificed to the Witch Gods, one by one. Their blood dripped through the bars of the bars into the basement, where he was held in captivity, and the vile whisper carried only one name, “Solael”, this vile bloodthirsty bastard. His mind slowly left him.
In desperation, he turned to the ancient warrior deity, Oléron, praying for his blood revenge to captors. What happened next - he remembered vaguely. Blood, screams, blood again, the roar of a eldritch flame, running, falling, darkness. He wandered at random for many days, not realizing either reality or himself.
It is not known how, but he found himself on the edge of the great Korvan desert, where he was noticed by desert dervishes. It took many months to restore his physical and mental strength. But this time was not in vain. Their collaboration was mutually beneficial. After receiving from him the knowledge of battle tactics and methods of dealing with supernatural threats instead, dervishes taught him desert sorcery to call sand spirits that rip meat to the bones, mirages that they drink the blood of enemies, as well as sand dunes that bury their enemies alive under their thickness.
Just at that time, the growing activity of the cultists in the region of the Korvan lands, as well as rumors about their (inconceivable!) Unification, attracted the attention of the Imperial Inquisition (more accurately than the fragmented forces that could survive upon a Grim Dawn). What was their surprise and relief to meet on this inhospitable land of his long-lost member. tasks. The talents of Machiavelli so shook the leadership of the order that he was given an early rank of full inquisitor and the right to recruit everyone he deemed useful for the assignment.

3. Base Idea
So, now you choose between three tier 3 constellations, right? But why would you even choose between them? Why do not pick them all?
- AlexGoldFish
Initially, it was a classic set on 3 pieces of the set of a Belgotian, with an unknown soldier without a prok and with Azraka with a proc. He lived not-so- well, he caused damage worse that Blademaster. In general, neither fish nor meat.
The decision were came from two sides. On the one hand, we had a shatering reality set, which I consider to be one of the best game design solutions from Z, on the other hand, the very phrase from Alex, which became the fundamental idea for this build.
Tactics, unlike builds with night blade and suffers greatly from a lack of AoE. A whirlwind of death, scissors, a ring of steel? Remember? We don’t have any of that. So I took Oleron (who is still down a completely disgusting road with no OA along the way at all), this gave me a super nice AoE, one per second. Complement is a tornado of relics (which tactic is ideal due to the presence of +6 to each article and we are due to SR set and the two swords), Sands of Azrakaa and shadows of the unknown soldier - and you can forever forget about problems with AoE.

deadly aim + battle cry + inspiration are active

5. Are this build suited for crucible & SR?
For sure.
SR on 75+ (however I prefer farming at 65+66, in “gold tier”). In video I stand in 69 shard.
Crucible 170 with ease (3 buff + 1 banner or 4 buff, don’t matter)
6. Q & A
- Oleron, for real?
- Yes, huge Aoe that annihilates all trash once per second are worth the bad road to it
- No ghoul? R u mad?
- Sometimes I start to believe so) But here it is not needed, you have a megaton of resistance from SR set, seal, rainbow rage, battle cry, word of renewal, 50% chance to impaired aim a ranged attack/magic… should I continue? In fact, most of the enemies are not able to scratch you.
