yup false advertisment! Illusion needs a buff

Thanks for your comment!
Actually I did try the Paladin but wasn’t very good (still tanky). I guess with different more offensive gear/set will be better. But here even double rare greens can’t help it much.
Paladin, Level 100 (GD 1.1.9.0) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator (grimtools.com)
Is there good silver bow illusion?
Thanks!
Yeah Purifiers aren’t well represented in the forum and GrimSheet, so felt it was good time for not very creative Purifier build.

Thanks. I started the same, with Octavious but I dropped it for a moment because I also wanted to cast Rune of Kalastor just for flavor / diversity and there are not enough points for that.
There’s is one silverish but it’s pretty standard otherwise and I prefer this more “piercing” one:
(the light makes the illusion less silver / more yellowish than in-game)

Awesome build. I look forward to making it and trying it later. Looks fun!

Low number of skills you need to cast is very encouraging.

Thanks, hope you will like it!
I always prefer low amount of skills for auto-attack build or channeling/EoR. But for some players low number of skills is con.
I do like it a lot! I usually prefer defiler with the pink guns of chaos for my shooter build of choice, but this this is immensely sturdy. Even under heavy load (rendering a video) and lagging game, I still did a CR in 6 mins or so. Feels great. This community only has a few builders of your pedigree. Never stop

@Nery Two words. Digustingly good. I accidentally ran a 76 Shard (trying to re-level my Devotions since my other Purifier was Fire based) and it is so efficient. So easy to track. So few buttons and Icons you need to remember. Well done once again Nery, well done indeed.

Thank you very much! 
Yes few buttons to press, I hate to break my attack to cast stuff.
how would you suggest leveling this build? right now I’m lvl ~50ish, mostly doing a generic phys -> fire convert 2h purifier. can you pretty much not switch to pierce until you get the ele -> pierce convert?

I think you are right. Going for fire during leveling will net you the best possible ranged Purifier. At around ~50 you can get Udgenbog crossbow with mod to Fire Strike, it will really improve your toon. I personally wouldn’t try pierce.

The time saved playing fire up to level 94 where you can equip items and re leveling devotions with experience potion will for sure out weight the time lost on trying to play pierce to 94

Maybe @dncndn could use Messenger’s Repeater
That would be very good for pierce but it’s in Forgotten Gods and what’s worse pretty far
But maybe you’ve already beaten it or have other chars go for it?
Personally I’d try to play Pierce asap for roleplay / diversity of leveling reasons.
yeah I actually just saw that browsing grimtools. I have a few characters i could farm one on. Or just use GDstash i guess.
seriously considering it though, i’ve done fire/ele 2h purifier to death before

Im lvl ~77ish now on the character, I’m using valdun’s, the chosen shoulders and a few random pieces of whatever
sorry it looks weird, I’m playing at 2x speed (grim internals) with grimmest at 2x hero/monster density, this is in the ancient grove on elite

@Nery Cool build! I’m looking forward to trying it out
I’m worried about one thing though: screenshot with stats has 1047 physique but GT link has only 970 (which is too low to equip SR chest (1035). What’s missing?

Hi and welcome to the community!
You can craft items with % physique with Angrim at Devil’s Crossing. This way you will have enough to use SR set. Outside of requirements for pierce build you should put points in cunning for OA and damage.
