[1.1.4.2] Cookie Dervish (SR80, Naked Crucible, C+)

Not really. Can’t have the new Magi rings, sadly. You might wanna get Eye of The Guardian and Candle for Spider and Two in Torch.

Hi Ya1 !

Thanks for the guide :slight_smile:

I either have transitioned from the virulent_dervish guide for my first char in this game to a “self made” build inspired by yours.
I have a tough hesitation on gearing, more precisely on medals.

My current build looks like that :

As you can see it’s a work in progress, the second MQC doesn’t want to drop and i don’t have the SR set, I chose items that give +skills to compensate a bit. A beginner build with pierce => acid conversion.

I looted the medal I actualy wear but i have the mark of lethal intents too.
The one i looted give me more dps but lacks good resists, with the mark i can put better augments for core stats (OA/DA/HP)

And then, yesterday i looted this one :

It’s a green but it seems pretty strong with the RoS modifier and the overall stats.

I’m pretty confused, if you (or another GD veteran) have a minute to watch i would be very very grateful !

:slight_smile:

Lethal Intents is imo best for you as your oa is low. The green RoS medal would ofc be BiS with fantasy affixes; with those particular affixes not so much. Forbidden is imo severely lacking. But if you’re still collecting gear then I’d use whatever fixes the resists before I worry about DPS.

But I think you could tackle SR to get the set with what you have already. Just take that Revenant, free some points from… ah lemme just do it: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/lNkJK8lZ. Pls ask if you don’t understand why this and that. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you very much ! And you tweaked my GrimTools !!! <3

Didn’t know that amongst my core stats OA was lacking, I’ll go for lethal intents.

Forbidden is an affixe ? Never saw it I think.

I understand Execution with my actual item skill modifier but I don’t get it without my off hand weapon.
It’s the enmy health reduction that makes it worth the points ?

Thank you very much again ya1 !

Try to craft it at the FG hidden smith for slow res.

No, I mean the Mark of the Forbidden the medal.

Not sure if I understand. The reason for Execution is very high weapon damage.

Didn’t know that stats vary according to the smith I choose !

Yeah the mark of the forbidden would be perfect, I’ll wait for luck. :slight_smile:

Ok for Execution, didn’t realise that damage potential. I’m going to respec my build with your advises right know ! \o/
Thanks !

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to report that I found this thread via google search or some such and this has been an inspiration for me in the recent GD community league (S3).

Following the basic outline here (SR set + Mad Queen Claws), I’ve defeated Lokarr, Bourbon, and Mogdrdogen so far (first time for me on that last one). Getting ready to take on Ravager. The SR set + Mad Queen combo is astoundingly sturdy. Have been able to pretty much face tank everything I’ve encountered (so far), but of course I haven’t taken on the very hardest content yet.
