INTRODUCTION
The idea here is to make use of the class as range considering it already has 3 (2 of which will be used) innate range WPS already and with the added WPS bonus in the weapon. Bonemonger will be used with Chains of Ygraad for 85 - 100% Vit to Aether conversion. This build has a good sustain with lifesteal, but it is squishy without the active defenses. It also sometimes relies on Consecration for the defenses here, but since it is range, it is more convenient to proc.
Special thanks to @Monceaux for the suggestions
With permabuffs such as Spectral Wrath, Harbinger of Souls, Presence of Virtue, Arcane Resonance. DPS shown is Righteous Fervor.

Oppressor, Level 100 (GD 1.1.9.1) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator - Updated Set-up, the one with the photo above. More DPS now.
-
Oppressor, Level 100 (GD 1.1.9.1) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator - Old Set-up. Has much more physical resistance by 4%, stun resistance reduction and hp, but DPS is lower (149k DPS tooltip with all the buffs, 100k with permabuffs only) and lower conversion from Vit to Aether.
GEARS
-
Head, Amulet, Shoulder, Chest : Bonemonger’s Set - Bread and Butter. It offers good bonuses for both OK and Necro.
-
Weapon : Rutnick Blaster - The core weapons . Affixes in my build is non-BiS. Aetherfire + Shattered Reality combo should offer better results. The best thing about this weapon is it already has a dual wield bonus, which means there’s no need for DW enabling medals.
-
Belt : Chains of Ygraad - Huge Vitality to Aether conversion. Dreadlord affix is preferrable. Lunal’Valgoth Belt can be an alternative for +1 Necro and stun reduction bonus.
-
Legs : Reaper Legguards - Simply because the build is lacking Pierce resistance without it. Soul Harvest bonus is good too, but I think Grava pants will also work. Again it depends on the resistance rolls.
-
Gloves : Kriegs - Flat Aether, Physical Resistance and Attack speed are all welcome.
-
Boots: Myth. Timewarped Walkers - Mostly because it offers four resistance bonuses.
-
Relic: Serenity - Simply because the build is lacking good resistance distribution. Non-DA bonus should work here.
-
Rings: Two pieces of Myth. Veilwarden Band - For the Righteous Fervor and attack speed bonuses. Tawrot or Myth. of Eternal Haunt can be used as an alternative
-
Medal: Myth. Mark of the Dreadblade - No brainer here. flat aether damage + RF bonus.
-
Weapon Components: Went with Resonance and Corruption here as opposed to Seal of the Void because of the lack of CC Resistance without Ascension. Corruption for the flat aether damage.
DEVOTIONS
-
Again, stacking devotions with physical resistance bonuses and speed. Went with Aeon’s Hourglass + Spear of the Heavens because the active defenses have long cooldowns, especially Ascension.
-
UPDATE: Gave up Wendigo for Empty Throne because the stun duration reduction without it is too low, So in effect, only the physical resistance was reduced. The attack speed is still capped.
SHATTERED REALM
-
SR 80 boss room: Grim Dawn [1.1.9.1] (Set - Up 2) DW Rutnick Bonemonger's Oppressor, SR 80 - YouTube
Deathless run, Be wary of Reaper though, his stacking debuffs and ghost are lethal.
CELESTIALS
Mogdrogen
Ravager of the Minds
Semi facetankable even without pharma, but at hp > 50% should be careful. Mind the eye debuff, you can use MoT in response to this debuff. You can also use ascension if he cast some nasty DoT.
Crate of Entertainment
Took some attempts, but doable. Just make sure you’re hitting the crate boss instead of the box minions as the bullets has no pass through except smite.
OLD VIDEOS WITH THE OLD SET-UP
-
Crate of Entertainment: Grim Dawn [1.1.9.1] DW Rutnick Bonemonger's Aether Oppressor, Crate of Entertainment kill - YouTube (I have 10/10 MoT and no points in Dread here because I didn’t realize Dread increases BH range)
-
Ravager of the Minds: Grim Dawn [1.1.9.1] DW Rutnick Bonemonger's Aether Oppressor, Ravager of the Minds kill - YouTube
-
SR 80 boss room: Grim Dawn [1.1.9.1] DW Rutnick Bonemonger's Aether Oppressor, SR 80 boss room - YouTube
CONCLUSION
- After this and Eard’s Vit gunner. I might say Oppressor is really good with DW guns.
Any suggestions to further improve the build is welcome. Thanks a lot!
