1.1.8.1 Simple/ly tanky - Octavius Warlord CR170/SR90/Ravager

Good job Nery, make Warlord top 1 class!

Btw did you try Honor relic? Outside of loses from Serenity I wonder how good damage from it is outside of retaliations.

Thanks!

These people saying WL is slightly above average class :smiling_imp:

But still your retal builds are stronger, they do the heavy lifting!

So I had this idea of trying that build out with hybrid retal. You’ve got retal mods on your main skills and aegis supports retal naturally. Drop that trauma shit already. Maybe it’ll turn out better :rofl:

Your words are causing me… trauma :smile:

But I get what you mean, get in the retal train.

Seriously back in early FG (so both octavius and retal were op) I recall @Ptirodaktill doing some experiments on that. Of course it worked cause it was two broken shit combined into one, but maybe now it’ll still work too.

send me save. Wanted to try the hybrid retal idea but I just can’t bring myself to get past the grimtools stage cause making a new char is too tedious.

classic FG build in new setup, nice work nery!

Corrected, thanks for noticing!

Finally a great use for those 50 or so pieces of Octavius pieces that are gathering dust in my GD Item Assistant! Thanks @Nery

Yup, universe is sending you a message! :slightly_smiling_face:

Picked a great day to have Grimtools down though. :sob:

Maybe I’m missing something, but the Devotions on the GrimTools page don’t seem to add up. How do you get Hammer and Assasins Blade without 1 point in Ascendant and Order on Crossroads? I’m a new player and so far I love the build!

Mind.Blown. Thank you very much!

Took me a bit to figure out why the hell the vitality conversion is needed…

For Tip the Scales? I guess that converted to physical and proccing every second is quite a bit of healing? Pretty neat.

Lol. I been crafting my own build, similar to this… but pretty different at the same time. I definitely have a full piano of keys going right now, lol. I will try this out, thanks for pointing me to it @tqFan

Edit: I can’t seem to find The Pummeler in my stash though, damn it. I swear I have found a few of these…

Yes, belt is there mostly for Scales. Actually with new patch changes and fact you will no longer bypass armor with converted damage, no longer will be BiS gear. I would probably go for Soldier belt, MI amulet for FW or Spellscourge and Bear devotion perhaps.

Yo,you tested this build in ptr?the buffs seem pretty good,could push this to be pretty decent im hoping

I haven’t test it but probably will look better. Trauma damage isn’t affected by armor changes and there are few buffs, so will see.

@grey-maybe did pretty impressive Aegis build but I think he used partial set?

btw why not take the last point Obelisk instead of the first in Throne?just for the slow?

Obelisk’s nodes changed in 1.1.9 that’s why it might look weird now
