So, not at peak power obviously, but Ultimate Zarthuzellan took 1:52, so just under two minutes with this version of the build: Commando, Level 71 (GD 1.2.1.2) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator (VF is overcapped, I know ^^" )

Facetanked all the way, Blast Shield didn’t even trigger. Funnily enough, the Cursed Trials took 1:22, and would’ve been quicker if the stupid Skeletal Priest had not healed one of the hero mobs. So three waves of heroes < 1 caster boss with this build. Alkamos took 1:04, didn’t even hit a single sunder. As a reward he dropped Touch of Dread and the Vanquisher piece lol.

I am confident the build and its kill-times will only improve from here.

Testing and levelling continues :slight_smile:

Any new updates on the build? :slight_smile:

Yeah, added the level 75 snapshot. Though I am finishing my thesis at the moment, so I don’t have a lot of time for gaming :wink:

I will also try the immoral porcupine

Oh, hey, I was running a similar build a few months back. Still on random found gear, though I suspect these shoulders and maybe gloves are best in slot:

Commando, Level 100 (GD 1.2.1.2) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator

Unfortunately, I have to put this character on the back burner until I find the Mythical Mask of Infernal Truth blueprint. Without more RATA cooldowns, there are some bosses that I literally can’t kill (Van Aldritch, Lokarr, and regenerators above SR 30ish). Of course, they can’t kill me either, so I guess it comes out in the wash.

I’m curious to see if the full Counter Strike cooldown plan works out for you… if you can actually get it to go off 5 times a second, it might just do enough.

Good items, for sure. The problem is hardcapping Ulzuin’s wrath is not easy, and since is is one of our 2 main skill, I figured to hardcap it. I am not sure whether that is worth it over heavy retal gear, and it also depends on the enemy type I thnk. But good find!
