1.1.6.2 Update

Tried my best to make it work. It somewhat does. Physical damage and Cadence are still a bit sad though.

yeah mate it just doesn’t clear fast enough, i find it to be much better in shattered realm than crucible but not the fastest killer out there. funny thing is i tested sands proc and it didnt make much difference but i guess it helps a little with trash. maybe zantai will start to pay some attention now.

Adding this amazing feat of strength done by @supertolik. Naked extra spawn run with a physical melee Cadence no less!

144

Looking at patch notes, this got buffed no?

145

Which part? But it was very solid in a previous patch (for a dual-wield phys build) so should be ok in this one.

147

1.1.7.0 Update

With the rework of Crimson Claws gloves this build becomes stronger than ever. About 30 seconds faster in Crucible on average.

Hey, man, it’s because Zolhan only hits with one hand even if you dual-wield

I’m about to try the Warlord Spec, i don’t want to make a mistake : which crafting bonus do i need for the craftable items?

153

1 for slow res and two for physique. Warlord’s spec is outdated tho, probably won’t work that well in today’s meta. You are better off doing EoR spec with similiar gear or going for Death Knight spec which was thoroughly and meticulously tested.

154

Thank for your quick ansmwer, now i can use one of my Death Knight with a good build !

155

Thank you for the build.
With fixed AI some tanky builds could skip defensive buffs and use high-lvl beacons, but still risky a bit:

Also cleared 95SR with lucky mutators and lucky boss room (was killed a few times by one-shots)

Looks pretty cool. I’ve never tried Cadence or Necro’s AA-proc skills, so I’m intrigued. One question though:

I know the build is advertised as greenless, but are there any greens that could push the build to its limits? I’m especially curious due to all the new MI’s, but I understand if there hasn’t been testing for any green potential in the build.

157

Formidable Reaper’s Legguards might edge Barbaros pants for damage but I am not sure. Maaaaybe some green Gargabol ring with like 250% to physical instead of a faction ring. Obviously some amulet with damage. But what limit are we talking about? It’s never going to be another Belgothian in terms of damage, so there is little point in breaking build’s perfect balance in favour few extra seconds shaved off its Crucible timer.

Thanks for sick vids, added to the op.

Update 1.1.9.4

1.1.9.8 Update

Decided to update this classic. Some interesting off-meta gear choices and comeback of Peerless Eye of Beronath amulet make it a very solid melee all-arounder.

Check out new Grimtools in the op!

Here are some videos with build’s performance:

1.1.9.8 Warborn Death Knight vs. Ravager 1:19 kill (no pharma/no cluster)

1.1.9.8 Warborn Death Knight vs. SR 90 3:55 run (no deaths)

1.1.9.8 Warborn Death Knight vs. SR 75-76 6:50 run (no short rooms)

P.S. Added the Warlord spec made by @banana_peel himself!

1.2.0.2 Update

Decided to try out slightly different devotions and it allowed me to use better components/augments to squeeze out a bit more damage and tankiness. Find updated grimtools in the op!

Here are some videos with build’s performance in 1.2:
