This build was re-leveled during the closed testing phase, which is why I was able to publish it relatively quickly. In fact, the build has been around since version 1.2.1.6 ; this release mainly serves to finalize the setup with the double-rare greens.

Overall, this Beastcaller’s Conjurer is an exceptionally well-rounded build. While I wouldn’t call it the strongest pet build in the game, it’s certainly among the very best—easily in the top two. Conjurer is also one of the strongest masteries for leveling, so I don’t think that needs much further explanation.

For the build’s overall performance, please refer to the showcase videos.

One thing worth mentioning is that I used performance potions during the superboss fights to maximize damage output.

When fighting Callagadra , you’ll also want to replace your jewelry augments with three Herald’s Glare to increase your pets’ Slow Resistance . Callagadra can heavily reduce pet attack and movement speed, which significantly impacts their damage output.

SR 30-31

did u try it with sanginis + alterom potion ingredients? very interesting what will happen.

Wow, kill Mogdrogen of the Wolf in 36 secs? I have Gohl set, took me at least 5 minutes or more to kill it. Maybe I will try this build and see. When you fought him, did you have all 5 ascension altars?

Update: so looks like you can keep fighting him, and this time without 5 ascension altars, I was able to kill him in less than a minute.

The 5 Ascension Altars no longer provide any additional rewards for Superbosses. This build is capable of clearing all content with all 5 Ascension Altars enabled. I’ve already tested it.

ya true. Just wondering, with your build and with 5 altars on, how fast can you kill the Mogdrogen. With Maya’s Nurgle Bath bombs build, I can kill him but slowly lol. And your SR 50 is very impressive; it looks like pets are staying alive. Maybe I’ll give it a try one day

Honestly, I’m a bit surprised by how much interest there is in 5-altar super bosses lately! But I get it—with the power spike, it’s the natural next challenge.
I’ll be adding more showcase videos over time for anyone interested in the build.

Ya i would like to know how fast you can kill. I am surprised as well when I start to fight him; it took me a while, and Drake also spawned and joined the party as well lol. I guess the fight was too long.

12

amazing, but what build you think is number one?

13

Hi, are the videos done in ultimate or ascended difficulty?

14

on the top left you can see it is in ascended, i think also HC

15

How did you get ventorus potion? I tried killing the boss birdie like 20 times and no getting it. Frustating

16

Took me around 10 kills to get it. Keep at it, it’ll drop eventually.

The Beastcaller’s set Conjurer is currently among the top-tier pet builds in terms of overall capability, but later on—once the version shifts—some other BD might overtake it.

Sry but what is BD? Also, I wonder which beastcaller version is the strongest. We have vitality, bleed, fire and even physical. Still I will go for the fire version since I like fire element the most (and I don’t have a fire pet build yet) and the fire version is very very strong already.

The fire version is currently the strongest.
