1.2.1.0 Update!

With Physical resist/incoming Physical damage rework and Chains of Anguish nerf this build went thru a bit of overhaul: belt has to be dropped and devotions reworked a little bit. Overall it’s the same tanky beast but now without the belt’s debuff!

Find the updated Grimtools in the op, here are some videos with build’s current performance:

1.2.1.0 Blitz Warlord vs. SR 75-76 5:07 run

1.2.1.0 Blitz Warlord vs. Ravager 1:22 kill

1.2.1.0 Blitz Warlord vs. Callagadra 1:37 kill

1.2.1.3 Update!

I wasn’t really happy with how the this one’s tank felt in the latest patch. Game was moving forward and build was somewhat stagnating. So I tried re-inventing it a bit with Oleron’s Blood and four point Empyrion instead of Ulzaad. As a result, noticably better tank and better aoe damage (due to Oleron’s Blood additional dots and wps coverage).

Find new grimtools in the op. Here are some videos with current build’s performance:

Blitz Warlord vs. SR 75-76 4:28 run (new spec)

Blitz Warlord vs. Ravager 1:23 kill (new spec)

Blitz Warlord vs. Callagadra 1:38 kill (new spec)

1.2.1.3 Blitz Warlord vs. Crucible Gladiator 150-170 “naked” ex 5:20 run

Lee would you say this is still the best “pioneer” SR 30-31 farmer with a fresh account or has PRM Mage Hunter pulled ahead of it?

46

I think those are very different builds and it’s hard to compare them. For a working horse all arounder I would definitely take Blitz Warlord. It does everything in the game reasonably well and it’s very handy when you need to target farm some campaign areas. While PRM MH is great for farming Crucible and SR but bit harder to put together and then it is kinda meh to target farm stuff in Campaign.

Thanks for the continuous work! Is this setup better than going full Markovian? I know greens with proper affixes will make a huge difference.

48

Latest Markovian got better damage output (and it always had better damage) and similiar tank. I’d say for SR/Crucible Markovian would be better. For Main Campaign target farms this Blitz will be a bit better due better mobility (and in general high dps builds are overkill for MC). For Celestials I think custom Blitz is a bit better because it has naturally high phys res which works really well against Ravager and Callagadra.

I have a question regarding the MIs: How important is it to have the exact same ones would ya say?

I got a level 100 Blitz Warlord currently but it was a HC Based build from Rekt and I am looking to upgrade it for more damage and it feels very lacking there. I could look into Markovian I suppose as well, but I am unsure how hard it is to get the gear for that vs this.

50

you will never get the exakt same affixes. Look for what is important.

  1. weapon, attack speed affix.

  2. shield, extra physical resistance

and so on

51

Any particular reason for putting Shifting Sands on Smite, instead of Shattering Smash?

52

No, not really, just try to get roughly the same amount of res/cc-res/stats from the greens I have on your builds. All affixes chosen here are among the most common ones it should be fairly easy to do.

Thanks for noticing, seems like a typo. It should be bound to Guardians of course.

53

Hey thanks for the build! Really great, I just finished filling out my gear.

Have a question regarding dps, I see in your screenshot it lists around 92,000. Fully geared
with correct affixes and components, copying your build exactly I’m at 57k max. Prior to triggering the damage buff I’m at 29k (not sure of the name, it turns on after I begin attacking and dps goes from 29k to 57k) What am I missing? Attributes are the same too.

I have tryant on bagroll, overseer on helm and warrior/alacrity on amulet. Shield, shoulders, belt and medal are tenacious/vengeance, mystic/fortitude and warding/voidfire and medal is stanching/ruin.

Apologies if this has been answered already, I’ll scroll through to double check I didn’t miss the answer. Thanks again for the build!

54

Also just to mention, I only saw the helm, weapon and amulet as recommended specific affixes. I believe it listed the rest as non mandatory.

55

Thanks!

Don’t believe this dps graph - it’s pretty inaccurate and doesn’t really account for a lot of things. On my screenshot it was showing dps for RF I guess, but again, it’s really irrelevant.

That’s really good

It looks like your medal/belt/shoulders could use some work. Would be easier if you post grimtools of your build.

Non mandatory, but close to optimal among realistic budget options.

56

Hey thanks for the quick response, I actually play exclusively on my steam deck so can’t post build afaik.

Ok, cool good to know on the dps front. I’ll work toward better affixes on those items next.

Did you happen to down Lokkar with this? Planning on this guy being my farmer. Spell breaker too weak for that job, at least with current build.

57

Never tried actually, never test my builds against this minor boss. Decided to try it just now and record a video, this is in the current test patch where for now Sunder values are bugged (they can get much higher than intended), first try:
