@CaiusMartius: Good news for your classless spec

As a relative ‘newb’ to theory crafting, what exactly does ‘reduces chaos res across the board’ mean. That every enemy type is going to have lower chaos res from the get go, making what chaos RR we can get even better? If that’s what that means, I’m going to drink an entire bottle of mead tonight in honor of the gods of grim dawn patches. It will be a an immensely tasking sacrifice but well worth it. :smiley:

That’s exactly what it means

Hopefully no more randomly 118% chaos res enemies anymore.

Time to break out the mead! Alas, it will be a hard and strenuous sacrifice but it must be done for the good of all.

I may finally stop hating those friggin Harbingers then. :smiley:

gj with bringing this build to its 1.1.4.2 crucible performance peak! Nice to see more people playing vitality doom bolt. When I posted mine back in 1.1.3, I didn’t see many people testing it. Guess the belt update really gave this another big boost.

I think it was moreso the reduced cooldown on doombolt’s base skill.

6s --> 4.5

Yeah and you are cheating by using exclusive skill with CDR. :stuck_out_tongue:

Now do a Warlock!

Yes, but the cd reduction on DB related items was reduced aswell, so it was basically sth like 5s -> 4,5s. Still a buff though. The belt does allow more freedom of choice for geat aswell.

Are you trying to make fun of me for using possession on my verrsion of this build? :stuck_out_tongue:

52

Wait, you’re using Possession? Now that’s funny but not what I mean. Using OK as support mastery for CDR is definitely smooth idea.

53

I was and still am actually using possession with OK as support mastery :joy: just for %absorb in HC. It’s better defensively, but for offensive/balanced setup cdr is obviously better.

…with cdr? :thinking:

54

Actually I had one vitality caster with OK, where I used HoS over POT and changing exclusive lead to better results despite that I needed that cast speed. Usually CDR is so tempting. And in my experience it’s useful both offensively and defensively, since you have shorter CD on defensive spells.

But HC is different animal. If I ever play it, will surround myself with as much as possible passive defensive mechanisms. I am definitely not mocking your choose, it’s sound and viable option.

I don’t know about HC, but I still feel it’s a balancing act.

56

I know, was mostly joking around :slight_smile:
I agree, overall the cdr is better, but both are viable.

Mind sharing the GT?

58

Keep in mind I didn’t update mine in 1.1.4.2.
Gotta give it to you though, I did not think sigil would be a viable option for leech, but you got so many +skills from gear it becomes really strong.

This change happend in 1.1.3 btw, whereas the belt change happend in 1.1.4.

Yea these don’t synergize well with possession indeed. Gotta use green pants with possession or Pot3 with arcane harmony.

59

Right. Ok. I’ll add your build into my OP if that’s ok?

P.S - https://www.grimtools.com/calc/lV7eXjaN

try those changes.

I found judgment to be much worse than sigil

EDIT: Also, m. cursebearer is BiS if you happen to have it. Has +2 to vulnerability

The proc is also like ignaffar’s combustion, whereas those other 2 rings only affect 1 target

Sigil is actually really powerful leech, because it stacks with each other, and most importantly - if you are disabled in anyway it still leeches for you, most important to keep you alive.

61

Sure thx for adding it.
Yea I’ve seen your sigil > judgement decision and it’s great for sustain.

Yea ik, just didn’t wanna pick it without any +skills. Still had bat for leech, which also leeches even when I’m ccd.
