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

I really enjoy my homebrew warlord, but despite all my efforts to improve it is still clunky.

Some one with more experience can help me improve it? My only request is to keep the Stoneguard set :slight_smile:

The build was created to kill Calla and is ok (and slow) in SR 80, but is destroyed by Ravager Of Flesh.

Some issue that I am aware of:

  • Attack speed is low
  • So many good skills, so little points. I’m not sure that my points allocation is good, expecially for WPS
  • CC resists: I know they are low, but I don’t really care rigth now, I can fix them juggling some skill points and components.
  • Defense is all-in armor and shield

normally ravager should be simple for retal with high armour/phys res

i think part issue might be you have to low healing then if it can’t keep up with ravager dps

a thing to remember is retal/Rata itself doesn’t scale on WPS “Increases”, so 22pt zolhan doesn’t boost your retal/rata application, it would only boost your AA application; but your RF investment itself is basically 0
Which means your dmg output isn’t as general high and invested in more chance

Red doggo also drains your mana fast which could be an issue even with Spark component, but you don’t even have that
*“low” OA for celestial also mean you’re probably not even critting to even apply Assassin’s Mark so even lower dmg against Ravager

if you want a general idea i’d suggest you view KingRed’s current setups if that can help with an approach overview and similarities across

note that Public Test forum gets deleted soon/when patch is out live, so the topic/contents will disappear, so if it’s useful to you you might want to save it

Thanks for the feedbacks, especially on the WPS part that is always a problem for me to understand how much to invest. Will try to update my build :slight_smile:
