GRIM TOOLS : Sentinel, Level 100 (GD 1.1.9.5) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator
Hey there! This is my latest build that i just finished. It is a Chaos damage Sentinel with Voidsoul Set, who utilizies Hourglass devotion to practically have permanent Abominable Might devotion proc uptime which greatly (about 25%) increases build’s damage.
It is a very fun and decently tanky build but it appeared that it requires a bit more skill and attention to fully utilize both Hourglass cooldown reduction and Aegis resets. Voidsoul set literally doubles the damage of Aegis (at the cost of +1 sec CD) so any baseline (20%) reset + Hourglass resets on the skill are twice better.
Build doesn’t have great HP, but have massive Lifesteal (in my case, 27% but high rolls) and on average, 37% phys res (41% in my case with high rolls). It doesn’t have a source to reduce monster damage but has 18% Damage absorbtion from Possession.
Getting the Dying God devotion while keeping Abomination and Hourglass is unfortunately impossible, altough Abomination is drastically better then Dying God in this build due to flat Chaos damage bonus. You can, like in most builds, try different setups like ignoring Abomination path to get Dying God (which is basically free on Hourglass path) and you can get rid of all those green points for something else. I suspect you can’t reach this damage that way, but can be tankier.
Pestilence of Dreeg amulet looks like a no-brainer in this build however, i needed the Chaos and CC res from the Kaisan amulet personally, that’s also why i included Earthshatter boots. It was hard for me to get proper resists in this build so feel free to find your own path. Other gear is for the most part, mandatory in my opinion. Medal will get +120 Sec duration next patch instead of +30 so enjoy your 2.5 minute lasting Blood of Dreeg.
Sentinel class doesn’t have Chaos Resistance reduction by default, however, the build can still reach up to -107% RR.
Enjoy the massive Aegis one shotting most basic monsters in the game. I personally saw up to 800k+ Crit on Dummy (Remember that this number is mostly unrealistic in actual fights, but you can get close). Doom Bolt is ironically your AoE attack here with it’s 5 meter range, thanks to the Voidsoul set. It’s still good against single target cause it then deals damage twice by default.
Happy hunting!
EDIT : Got single point Ascension on build. No reason to not have 6% OA about more than half the time since Aegis and Doom Bolt Crits bonuses are too high.
My brain can’t handle another CD skill that i have to utilize with Hourglass. I can only spare 1 point on it which i don’t want to. But it is surely a good option.
