GrimTools 1.1.9.7 for Serenity with Elemental res completion bonus
No Greens 1.1.9.8 no important Serenity completion bonus
-
if you have Poison res bonus instead, change one Ugdenbog Leather component to Spellscorched Plating
-
if you have don’t have any of these two but % Attributes completion bonus for example then
- respec from Solemn Watcher devotion to Ulo
- change one Poison + Chaos res augment to Elemental res augment
- you can move some points from Spirit and Physique to Cunning
End result: GrimTools
-
no Gargabol’s ring needed now since you can reach 24 Righteous Fervor without it
so any ring with good resistances is fine -
more damage from investing into Smite (credit to Mad_Lee) results in noticeably faster Celestials kills
Gear
![]() |
Crafted for % Armor at Angrim |
![]() |
Warborn Bastion set provides Attack Speed, Necro buffs (mainly to Reaping Strike), %DMG, Armor, Heal proc, Aether → Phy conversion |
![]() |
Mythical Siegebreaker has the most flat damage but lacks %DMG. Grants Siegebreaker ability I use to proc Maul with 99.5% chance without having to skate through enemies with VM which I dislike. |
![]() |
Stonewall Defender has Physical RR and % Damage but I decided to spare you the crafting of some good double rare. |
![]() |
Mythical Gladiator’s Distinction full Vit → Phy conversion is great not only for Necro’s Vitality damage but even more so for Ulcama’s devotion healing proc. |
![]() |
Two Seals of Might together with Warborn Bastion provide full Aether → Phy conversion. |
![]() |
Mythical Chausses of Barbaros proc boosts our %AS to 200%. |
![]() |
The rest of the gear is not particularly interesting. I considered it BIS for stats or skill points to Righteous Fervor |
Skills
![]() |
Righteous Fervor is needed to be only at 24 for maximum number of charges. 26 bonus seems to be marginal. |
![]() |
Buffed by Warborn Bastion and fully converted, Reaping Strike is a very important WPS due to nearly 50% Leech it has. |
![]() |
Another important WPS that not only has great damage and 31 Reduced Target’s Physical Resistance (more than Ulcama devotion) but is also a good proccer according to my testing. |
![]() |
Ill Omen has incredibly potent Damage Reduction which, if I’m not mistaken, might be important for DPS as well by reducing enemies’ offensive debuffs. |
![]() |
As if we weren’t tanky enough already, Mark of Torment absorbs about 40% of damage from a single enemy when we need it the most. |
![]() |
Gaze of Beronath item skill debuffs enemies’ Offensive Ability by 110. You can probably skip it. |
![]() |
Vire’s Might together with another Charge movement skill from augment ensures excellent mobility. But for ![]() |
![]() |
Use Volcanic Stride if you want to proc some devotion with Vire’s Might. |
![]() |
I didn’t test if Retribution is worth maxing. |
![]() |
Perhaps I would use Soul Harvest if it had 100% chance to proc either Maul or Ulzaad’s Decree. Also one fewer button to press. |
The rest of the skills is self-explanatory |
Devotion
![]() |
Mandatory to reduce enemies’ Physical Resistance. |
![]() |
Armor debuff and Leech proc, great stats. |
![]() |
These two provide great absorption and stats. |
![]() |
Amazing Leech proc thanks to our 100% Vit → Phy conversion. |
![]() |
Attack Speed and Physical Resistance |
The rest was taken for their stats. |
