Pet Conjurer - Birbs and Kitty (very tanky)
Introduction
Hello, I wanted to check if I can make good and comfortable build for Shattered Realm which is based on pets and doesn’t use Beastcaller set - we have a lot of good builds with this set already. I wanted to find good middleground in being tanky myself(dead player = dead pets) and my pets with good damage. I think I made it. I want to present you Pet Conjurer based on Birds and Primal Spirit.
Credits for @Maya because this birb provided a lot of great pet builds and informations.
Next credits go for guy who few months ago posted similar concept based on Necrolord’s Gaze and Bound Wraith - but I can’t find this topic, it’s not in compedium and it’s not tagged. However our builds are totally other.
Build
https://www.grimtools.com/calc/b28ez6eV
Rare offhand is necessary and it’s core of the build - but not prefixes/affixes (this one is my legit farmed). It’s basically target-farmable item in Tomb of Ugdall, few runs and you should have at least one. For maximum push I suggest with of the Sands suffix, but any should be good, We use it for -4 second for Primal Spirit, not for other bonuses. 18% CDR is recommended too if possible.
In my opinion Mythical Footpads of the Grey Magi are best boots for both 75-76 farming and +90 delving because of DA/resistances/reduced entrapment/Survival Instincts proc. You can fight bosses without agro abuse and BenJahr won’t stop you with his cage - that was one my issues during playing pet builds. It’s also craftable item so will provide you blacksmith bonuses. If you don’t like these boots - you can go with Mythical Deathwalker’s Grace or Mythical Fiendflesh Greaves. You won’t see any damage difference anyway but my main choice will rescue you many times and it’s very noticable.
Pants are bis because of CC resistances.
Devotion path I found is optimal both for us and our pets. 4 point in Obelisk of Menhrir provide even more CC resistances and armor absorbtion so we don’t have to sacrafice components on chest and helmet.
Craft gear for 2x slow res + 1x freeze res or for 3x slow res if you have no slow resistances on offhand.
Damage is good in forum pet builds standard, more about it in “Performance”. 3.3k DA, 100% armor absorbtion and maxed CC resistances helps us kiting and staying alive. There were not even one unfair oneshot during my adventure.
Performance
96 reached very easy, died only 5 times, not even one in boss room. 0 Pharma used. This time not crash or too hard enemy stopped me but headache for too long playing in one sitting, I have decided to stop, it was taking too long and was unhealthy. I promise this build is 100sr viable (won’t be outscaled), gonna prove it next patch. One dangerous enemy is Shattered Gargaban in second phase because he can one shot our pets with volcano - teleport rune and move command is necessary. He can’t be pulled at first boss over 90s or run is done. Other bosses are easy, our pets rarely dies and we can’t be oneshotted by any boss.
Ravager killed in 3:50, used timer in my phone
Callagadra killed in 13:00, I think 12:00 and less is possible with better pet command manage, I made mistake at start and killed them in her tornadoes few times which cost me a lot of time.
Crate done few months ago with unfinished build and missed components. I don’t want to fight him again so sorry, no current screenshots.
75-76 farming is not a challange, it’s fast and you can’t fail it. Agroabuse is not necessary because of our boots choice.
I was testing some Crucible version and had good result 5:36, altough I will not fully update it because it’s very piano and uncomfortable to play in longer game session so I can not recommend it to average player who want to just enjoy farming. Damage however is very high and if you have korean fingers then there it is: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/Q2zQeYkN
Everything, I am open for suggestions. Regards
