Yes it’s a strong build but…

  1. Nope, don’t think so. Ravager can be tanked, Calla not.

  2. Nothing is changed, I think. Build should still be strong.

I created a new character last week and have been following this build. Just hit 94 and have had a good time with it so far.

Any reason not to put at least one point into Foul Eruption?

hi, question, have you tried the new MI medal, maybe adding vire might and harbringer of souls?
nightbringer+basti ring for full elemental to vitality conversion for volcanic stride. Nightbringer will convert most of the acid to harbringer of souls on the mark of plagius also.
we will lose the path cdr tho

thanks!!

I haven’t played this build since new patch emerged, but @tqFan have tried it, see few comments above, here’s the GT:

Totally makes sense since you can cap Bone Harvest/Soul Harvest skills and MI affixes compensate for the loss of 2 pieces Ghoul set bonus.

In my opinion Harbringer is absolutely not worth it. You’ll lose an insane amount of damage and defense from losing CDR:

  • both Bone Harvest and Vire’s Might are cooldown based
  • all Devotions like Hungering Void, Ghoul, Scales will have longer cooldowns
  • you need 18 skills points just to get to Harbringer which seems like a waste

As for Maxing Volcanic Stride + Basti, not really sure. I personally didn’t want to spend skill points on that (see the link in the post above) but that is an idea worth considering. The conversion will also boost up the damage of Amatok’s Breath a bit which should also be spammed alongside Bone Harvest, Vire’s Might and Judgment.

Also just 1p into Ravenous pulled from somewhere just for better Twing Fangs Proccing on small number of targets might be worth it depending on how many skills you’d like to use.

To be honest with you guys I haven’t tested/gdstashed this character as I’m taking my time and would like to enjoy the journey as much as possible since this is my favorite build. Slowly playing the campaign occasionally as I don’t have much time to play right now. 94 level at the moment, about to hit Necropolis in Campaign where I’m going to farm this Plagius medal and refocus the character from Ravenous Earth to Vire’s Might. After finishing the campaign I’m going to farm all the gear to complete the build and tweak this Bone Harvest/Vire’s Might hybrid if needed. This is the current state of the character, about to change the gear/augments to 94 lev, but I don’t have endgame gear yet: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/nZoJ9W9V

Hello guys !

is this build still strong on current patch ? I am going to finally play GD after few years and looking for really good BH build, mayby other builds are even better ?

You can still make good CDR Bone Harvest Oppressor but build might need completely different approach. The thing is Uro relic was changed to no CD attack and this build lacks attack speed for it. Also casting speed is low for something like spamming skill. If the build avoid using one though, lacks enough sources of damage (minus 1 without Uro), so build needs to be remake. Pretty seemlees idea is to use Scourge relic but that costs +1 Necro skills, so I am not sure.

You can out the Vitality Reaping Arc Cabalist from [Feedback] Uroborruk's Reaping Arc uses Blood Knight too.
