Description:
Double devastation + drain essence + ravenous earth aether spellbinder. While rocks fall we keeping up health by drain essence ability with Ratosh’s devotion proc on life leech resistance reduction.
1)Due to eternity + percent cd reduction phoenix fire is always up so it has good flat absorption defence, also helps keeping rocky weather.
2)Perfect abilities for celestial power procs.
3)Percent absorption and damage reduction provided by skills.
4)Big OA, DA with heavy shreds by skills and items (up to ~500 for OA).
5)Big Health, decent armor and highed max resistances. Some circuit breakers.
Gameplay specific:
Versus dangerous enemies like high SR moosilouke or zantarin (their minions are scary from beginning) we start with mirror of ereotics to prevent getting damage before tainted earth will reduce their damage and phoenix fire is up.
Callagadra
P.S.
Despite target damage isn’t that beatifull, It’s very good and safe for farming ultimate skeletal key dungeons, moreover it has +35% bonus damage to aetherials and some to chtonians and humans.
P.P.S.
Grimtools, live.
Thanks, i had all these items stashed but tome, which was the second i dropped from ternox. And i had to farm anasteria’s hat mb 20-40runs. Instead of these shoulders any with phys resist and impervious affix can be used, Loghorrean’s would be best in slot.
what is the role of the reap spirit in this build because that pet stats are rly rly bad and low ur not focusing pet side so why the reap spirit is lv 26 maxed out ?
orwund did you try/consider using RS gloves Aethereach? - curious what your take/feel is on overall impact, atleast in sheet it seems like it’s kinda massive gain
DE gloves
Aethereach,
down 23k DE dps but up 90k RS dps
wonder if maybe the lower RS cooldown will make drain essence’ing annoying tho ?
I thought about it. But drain essence giving ability to face tank, RS has some cast time too, it may be dangerous to make that swap, but it can be usefull to swap it for most fights. Actually i was suggested madlee video with his nofika’s vitality diviner build run and got frustrated of mine.

wonder how he is able to live just by vampirism from percent damage of RS.
It has like 10k weapon damage, each reap spirit 40k of weapon damage,
in total we have ~40k*0.18(from lifesteal)*0.17(by lifeleech resistance)=1100HP for each 0.2seconds makes about 5500hp/sec almost what i am having from drain essence.
But i need a lifesteal to make it possible to swap this gloves. Which i can get from Harbinger of souls, actually. That’s a good tip to improve this one, but makes DE almost useless.
not how it works btw
lifesteal = total amount of skill’s dmg,
so if skill = 100k dmg, that’s your scaling x18%
WD is only relevant in terms of %effect of adcth, but only if below 100%, since 50% wd = 50% lifesteal applied (9% here), but still on skill’s total dmg/native flat still included, with max scaling up to 100% adcth (ie 400%wd still = 18%adcth)
Since reap spirit doesn’t have inner lifesteal i meant global lifesteal
So you say if skill has 400% WD it will only give 10k * 0.18 * 0.17 HP with 10k WD,
18% global lifesteal, 0% inner skill lifesteal, and 83% lifeleech resistance?
I am poor in english, trying to learn it desperately with this forum and books from Russia, sorry.
no,
WD is only relevant in terms of effect lifesteal applied, unrelated to dmg
total skill dmg scales lifesteal amount
so, if skill = 50% wd = 50%effective lifesteal
if skill dmg = X wd + Y flat, total lifesteal amount =x+y
i tried this (Ravenous Earth) just for silliness Spellbinder, Level 100 (GD 1.2.1.2) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator
i also tried Aethereach gloves instead of DE gloves, while keeping Drain Essence spec/original setup just glove swap, but only in SR
I think, think(/didn’t actual time), feels like RE spec is faster, but DE is tankier even in SR.
Surprisingly still has really good Drain Essence heals with faster Reap Spirit even with 0 global lifesteal
*i tried to see if i could go chariot on Rattosh devo route, since i think chariot is stronger here than Behemoth, but kept being 1pt short, so just went totally different devo route/Korvaak instead on RE setup
Rattosh route is probably superior for DE setup and on Celestials
that’s very interesting setup, i ll try it just with my devotion route i think.
hmm, you rid of DE, but how do you live then? Is RE giving enough leeching vs single target fabius sr80 for example?
yea sustain seems fine just against SR combined with mirror, potion etc “layers”
Didn’t test celestials, but probably wont be enough there i guess
cooldown is like 0.8 seconds and heals a lot on each cast which seems like it’s enough
