+ MinRegen  6k  vs 5k
- MaxRegen  13k vs 16k
- Phys res  14% vs 25%

Itemization Note:

All MIs come with single yellow affix, so there is some space for improvements if you have the patience to farm better gear

  1. Expected drop rate ~4-5% check this topic for more info
  2. Aim for 3400+ OA / +40 res overcap
  3. Craft belt/relic with stun resistances, then swap ring components to Vengeful Wraith.
  4. Prefer burn and electrocute rolls on weapons and shoulders.
  5. OA is needed to crit against superbosses:

build will be nerfed hard with next patch right?

yeah, looks like that, i missed that version of this build already in top 20

I think this is some old link because it doesn’t feature

as it has Flashbang too. But your link at the bottom of the thread doesn’t have (correctly?) Flashbang anymore.

If you add BWC

you can get

  • nearly 500% more % Fire Retal with Messenger’s and Phoenix’s (not shown in GT) procs and good amount of flat Fire Retal

  • more DR from BWC than from Primal Bond

  • Phoenix Absorption

If you add BWC

hi, thanks good point, i would rather go something like that if you don’t mind use BWC, since IMO messanger’s proc value is close to zero

Too low uptime?

I didn’t know I can drop Tree’s free sides stars. THen I personally want Targo like this Elementalist, Level 100 (GD 1.2.1.6) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator looks nice

Nice regen numbers :sweat_smile:

Too low uptime?

yep, it’s close to 0 if you not tank melee attacks all the time, also some bosses don’t use them

it’s same story as with BWC or top20 build with 5 active skills where elemental storm bind to RF, you needed to keep all your buff/debuffs 100% uptime to get some benefits from them, otherwise you just lost DPS/HP

I didn’t know I can drop Tree’s free sides stars.

well, i think you can switch parts here and there if overall regen/oa/da/hp stay on same level, i didn’t min/max build just because farming specific greens is too anoying

Nice regen numbers

yeah, witih around 6k hp/s this is where you don’t needed pay attention on what on the screen most of the time
