Who would have guessed that Ulvar’s first build post patch 1.1.9.0 would be a pet build?
♞ Physical Pets Beastcaller Conjurer ♞
Introduction
Ok so new patch 1.1.9.0 hit us, it will be one of the last patches for this game. Pets and pet items got some big changes, causing pet veteran players to more or less basically announce their retirement.
I am not a big pet builder or player, tbh I have made 4 or 5 pet builds in total during my almost 4k hour long GD “career”. Since patch 1.1.7.0 (when I nuked my save folder to start fresh) this is my only pet build that I have made and play. I do not even think I have even a decent understanding why and how pet builds work
Anyway, idea for this build came when I realized that there are some nice green monster infrequent items for pets these days, and that actually had some of them with decent rolls! I made this build in 1.1.8.0 and thought it was pretty good for being a PHYSICAL damage pet build - an archetype that is considered among, if not THE worst pet build you can ever make, NOTE we are talking about physical damage here, NOT bleed! (for two recent and very strong bleed pet builds, see this one [1.1.9.0] Bleeding Beastcaller Conjurer -> Crucible ~5:20/ SR 115/ Callagadra 3:27 + Ravager 1:23 + Crate 23 seconds and this one [1.1.9.0] [HC] [Videos] Beastcaller Set | Physical & Bleeding Pet Conjurer | 0 Green )
Let’s try make Maya happy! After all, she has done a lot for the pet part of this community and I do not want her to give up and quit playing!
Curious about how the 1.1.9.0 affected my pet build, and also to provide the pet-veterans some input to their concerns, I took my only active pet build and smacked ravager and calla and also SR 75-76 (not fast but safe and doable).
This thread contain some “discussion” about the present build Nature's Call Regalia +X to Summon Briarthorn

All items found in game legit by myself, hence they are not even close to being BiS rolls. But still, they are good enough rolled. I have found even crazier ones but kinda refused to put them on just not to scare ppl off Devotions are defensive and so are some of my augments.
The MI’s are pretty easy to farm:
- Zaria amulet has bias towards to pet stuff, and she is easy to kill. Way to her is a bit long, but you will then kill bloodsworns and hence also farming the off-hand in the same run In fact, Zaria also has chance to drop the off-hand. Keep in mind though, the pet affixes that we “want” are rare-tier so even with affix bias, it not a piece of cake to get them. Still, the base items themselves are very powerful.
- Rings: easiest just to vendor farm abuse the vendor in Bastion of Chaos.
Affix-less, and no components and no augments https://www.grimtools.com/calc/62aQjnX2 should make it easier for you get started in making your own version!
Should also be noted that build uses Wrath of the Beast Tincture now and then. 600 iron bits each iirc.
Performance
~4 min ravager (video soon™)
~13 min calla (can probably get faster with better piloting, I am not very good at playing pets) (video soon™)
