Hi there,

Working on an original build I nicknamed “Chaos Bandit”. The concept is a chaos DW ranged having Doom Bolt as the primary damage skill.

This is the build: Deceiver, Level 100 (GD 1.2.1.2) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator

At the current state, the build can clear totems and SR65 without too much hassle. But I think the build is still lacking. Maybe is my devotion setup, maybe is some piece of gear since I used what I already had on my stash…

I humbly summon the build wizards

I’d recommend changing the relic to Ignaffar's Combustion - Items - Grim Dawn Item Database
Mainly for more Chaos RR, +1 to all inquisitor.

Also you might want to farm at least one of these guns with “of the Abyss” suffix for %RR and DR, Attack & Casting Speed

Some of your resistance are already overcapped enough where you do not need some of the augments on your amor. Replace those augments with +%health augments from Barrowholm

Will try! I used Namadea’s for sustain and to make use of some of that surplus Vitality Damage

Yea I’m farming Bolvar. So far those are the best I could get. But I’ll keep my eyes open for that Abyss suffix.

hm… too late, I’m already hostile to them :sweat_smile:

What about my devotions? Is there some glaring mistake I made?

Namadea is the medal, not the relic.

For Health I think you could also get flat health increase from solael

Devotion: looks okay, only think I‘d consider to change is to pick up Revenant for flat RR from the skill. Might want to change to Dying God as a result

Oh yea my mistake! I used Aggrivix for chaos dmg+aether resist. But I just crafted one Combustion and doing some tests at this very moment.

Revenant and Dying God. Noted. Thanks.

Well, looks like I had a good idea, but the class combination just wasn’t right.

So I re-rolled:

So far this build:

  • Cleared SR80-81 (1 death because I aggroed two bosses at the same time)
  • Killed Lokkar, just need to kite.
  • Killed Bourbons.

Your tip with the devotions helped me a lot. Still doing minor tweaks on the skills.

Below are the actual ingame stats w/o any buff

It feels like you’re doing a bit too much at the same time. I’d ditch mortar, since it doesn’t do chaos damage (and some other minor things) and then just max out the skills you do use, something more like: Pyromancer, Level 100 (GD 1.2.1.2) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator
Though I haven’t tested it, so ymmv :sweat_smile:

I’m testing mortar and it’s kinda helping on SR, sometimes the AoE slow proc helps to clear crowds more safely. But those points on Curse of Frailty are really doing more bad than good and will be put somewhere else… As I said, the build it’s still WIP and I’m farming MIs and doing some tests.

I’ll check the build you linked to see what I can learn. Thx for your feedback.
