[1.1.9.2-1.1.9.6] Bullseye - Evoker of Elgoloth Vindicator | SR75-76 | CR ~4:30 | Ravager | Crate

[eardianm]

I should get OP updated again but lazy. So the toxic avenger channel tested a bunch of different devo layouts, all of which have pros and cons. The two I’d recommend most are the ghoul+tempest is the above SR75-76 video, or this setup with extra tank that banana tried: Vindicator, Level 100 (GD 1.1.9.6) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator . OP update is already out of date now as the switch to 2 piece eastern and seal MI shoulders by lee was a net improvement

[Rancor]

Thanks. Going with banana’s version. I generally like mindlessly mowing through the invaders of Cairn to reach level 100 before almost immediately leveling a new build so the extra tank is appreciated.

[eardianm]

Whichever is fine, the damage is near peak in game and plenty sturdy enough to not die unless you’re begging for it

Hi, a bit late to grim dawn but its growing on me fast!
I just wanted to ask if there’s a leveling build/guide for this build to get my self familiar with it ? or just lvl up and then spend points and gear etc… But in doing so im afraid id miss out on many things or while leveling i feel like its lacking dmg since im a beginner to the game.
Thank you.

[1.1.9.7] Beginner’s 2H Ranged Lightning Savagery Vindicator (pre-Evoker)

[Vind 0] Introduction Vindicator using ‘‘Evoker of Elgoloth’’ purple crossbow is one of the strongest end game ranged builds and very fun to play as well. But how to level it up in similar fashion? My guide can be helpful and also this is Evoker build without using… well Evoker since it’s a random drop. Why this concept works? Savagery is pretty decent attack and also Inquisitor boost ranged characters by providing unique WPS (weapon pool skills) and in general is the ranged class in Gri…

Went back to the game after several years (last time I played level cap was still 85 and Crucible just came out), can I just say my appreciation for the people who created and refined this build, it kicks a** (even at 1.1.9.8) and I can reliably farm SR75-76 now, even with Mad Queen and Grava’thul appearing. I really love doing ranged builds in GD, even though it really means you still have to facetank a lot of enemies, and this build can do that. Yet to try Ravager and Crate.

[eardianm]

I don’t think I ever updated this after the top 20 efforts, big change with pants and shoulders. Lee likes the high seal change with shoulders to moose mi (I think? The +3 seal ones) but it’s pretty flexible. Banana even did a yolo no seal version that drops ravager in about 40 seconds. One of these days I’ll revisit for my own personal tweaks but kinda waiting on 1.2 changes now

[borgyt]

Yup I’m using the tankier setup from banana_peel in your latest message. Found out that high armor rating isn’t so vital in SR as long as you have good dmg absorb and good stun and freeze res. Kinda hard to overcap poison res so I’m still farming living ring for that. Thanks for your awesome build!!

[zajebe]

Thanks for sharing this build! I used the version from the 20 top list and this is by far my favorite ranged build. Before this I had a dagallon purifier and dark blaze pyromancer and this build easily outperforms them while being easier to build. Now I really hate the other two classes lol.

[borgyt]

Been experimenting with Loghorrean shoulders for the OA and DA buffs and potential increased phys res. Only worth it for SR 80+, anything below more dps/dmg still better

[LegendaryOxy]

Is this build still viable in 1.2.0.2?

[eardianm]

Yep! Will be updates coming with the new top 20 effort, but it’s still doing well. Make sure to take a point for the seal transmuter now

Hey as a newb watching some of the gameplay of this end game - whats giving that massive lightning aoe - looks like primal strike but not spec’d into it, is it an item or another skill. I’ve not been past level 35 on any chars yet so just curious lol

[Foehammer]

Various procs give some aoe effects but more than likely from the Tempest devotion.

[RSnoomak]

It’s Wind devils attack animation

[donzpie]

Thanks! I’m such an undecided fool. Ive been playing 10 hours a day at times and not made it past 35 because I keep re-rolling due to fomo of something more fun being out there due to so many flipping build guides/ideas on here haha

Vindicator, Level 100 (GD 1.2.1.6) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator

Build hits like a truck and can take all but the most dangerous fights in SR. Definitely recommend levelling it all the way. There’s lots of ways to tweak it too, don’t consider anything mandatory besides the obvious weapon and amulet and maybe medal.

[donzpie]

Wicked thanks I just need to figure out the best way to level it and how to play the skill rotation haha I hate being new! lmao

[Foehammer]

Probably primal strike, play melee into act 5 so you can get the gun, (before this after you kill warden it’s good to go to forgotten God’s to get the PS halberd-will help) then once in ugdenbog switch to ranged; get kraken+hydra and start levelling the lightning devotions. Solael pants for lifesteal, ascended pauldrons or whatever they’re called for +3 primal strike, Valaxteria robes, take don’t take Feral Hunger or any inquisitor WPS as it won’t activate off of PS. Levelling lightning PS either ranged or melee is about as easy as it gets. Enjoy the journey, any questions just ask

[donzpie]

Wicked thank you xx
