very strong. Drop totems, and if need be apply swarm.
I am going to be proceeding up the OK to 50 points and then get the boys rolling.

I killed log with this and while not the fastest kill, it was chill. Definitely hardcore viable.

I killed theodin at 51. Still deathless, going well. Starting in on FG.

update level 60

just killed cronley. I had to get some more armor absorb. No big deal there.
dps is slow but steady at around 40k in elite. Having a surprisingly hard time finding vit damage gear.
Deathless and definitely hc able.

Sorry for reviving this, but i’m finishing a build very similar to this one. I thought i was making a new concept, but a quick search on Grim Tools new builds section allowed me to find this. My build isn’t different enough from this one to justify a whole new thread so i’m just going to post here.

The main difference between my build and this one is the devotion setup. I’m making full use of the acid to vitality conversion on Blood Orb and took Scorpion Sting (for the DA shred) and Tainted Eruption (AoE and CC). I also took abominable might for the % vitality bonuses. And i put focus on my gear choices to achieve the extra Guardian of Empyrion on level 24.

The build is really lacking in CC resists and my OA isn’t impressive so DA shred is a necessity. I also had to dump some stat points into cunning to equip the dagger and a lot on spirit to equip the blood orb (and that is considering the discount i got from Dryad and full investment on both mastery bars). I wasn’t expecting Archon to lack so much in terms of cunning and spirit. I managed to achieve a good balance and now i’m finishing ultimate difficult and then i’ll test it on SR (and maybe some celestials besides Lokarr).
