Which item skill?
Without assigning Rat is better than Fiend. More spirit and valuable Poison res.
I was thinking of Aether Corruption. Itās an active skill so you should be able to assign an offensive devotion to it.
itās already taken, I proc Elemental Storm with it.
1.1.5.1 Update
Decided to take a long hard look at the build and to assemble it from another angle. Got rid of Tsunami/Storm Box for Crucible spec for a sturdier devotion map with Solemn Watcher which allowed us to invest into Spirit. Result: spec is stronger than ever. Updated Grimtools links and added videos of Crucible and Shattered Realm (75-76) runs.

Any chance of seeing an updated PRM Spellbinder build?
Thanks. Getting rid of extra button was a breakthru tbh, despite it being the only extra button build has (you gotta have Inquisitor Seal + Corruption obviously).
I never did one so donāt know, sorry. Personally I am not planning on doing one.
dude, thank you so much for this. iāve played a somewhat similar version of this since inquis was released, but never felt like it was tanky enough for end game. i never thought about using that pants/boot combo. also i love the idea of getting rid of storm box for a bit more defensive devo setup. are you using all of the buffs and a defensive banner in your crucible run?
Thatās very impressive results for going all invested on PRM. Congrats. 
BTW, I think that Harry Potter pic is not relevant anymoreā¦

no problem This build was always meant to be tanky and I tried to keep it that way (because there are ways to squeeze in more damage here obviously for the cost of tankiness).
For this build you can either use classic 3 blessings (hp, resists and damage ones) and 1 fully levelled Vanguard Banner in bottom left corner or you can actually go for 4 blessings + 3 level one Storm banners (that way you are going to be 1 coin short after three or four runs in blessings duration).
Yeah, Z. hates melee nowadays

Hey im kinda new to Grim dawn, how is this build vs [Caster] [1.1.4.0] AAR Spellbinder Neon Light Celestial God Slayer (g4) (c+) (sr+) (vid)
Im looking for something that I can focus on maining for all content, cheers
Wow thanks for such a quick response. I feel kind of stupid that I have played this game so long now and havenāt really bothered to check the forums for builds, I had no idea there was so many. I was feeling a bit stuck with this build in terms of being able to do the very end game content, turns out I was skipping over some obvious defensive choices

I think both are really tanky and have good damage but Mage Hunter is probably more comfortable to play although AAR Binder has much more damage at the end. It also comes down to playstyles, some players (me personally) donāt like to play AAR builds, some donāt like spam-casters like this one.
One thing for sure is that with Mage Hunter there are more options to choose from if you get bored with one build.

Hello. Iām basing a Mage Hunter off this and itās amazing. My only confusion: why Seal of Corruption component instead of Seal of Skies? Is it for the -8% lightning RR ?
Thanks!
The spell granted by Seal of Corruption is also excellent to proc devotions - in this build Elemental Storm.
Thank you. Posters below answered your question. Itās super valuable RR and great devotion proccer. You need to interrupt your PRM as little as possible.
Decided to dust off this all time classic and managed a very lucky 5:18 run (great mutators + great piloting). Spec is as strong as ever.
Any chance you post some leveling tips for new players? Would be great.
Hey, man, welcome to the forums. I donāt do leveling guides, but I recommend you search these forums for them: there are plenty of very good and thorough step-by-step guides on how to level efficiently with whatever loot you can farm on the way and buy from factions.
Leveling builds are usually very different to endgames one, endgames builds are about the exact combination of gear/skills/devotions, levelling guides are more flexible and focus on whatever works better on certain level.
So yeah, just search these forums, it wonāt be hard to find them. Good luck!
