[1.3.0.3] Avian Flu - Poop Maxxing - Feces Flinger Guide

Dude… Are you joking?

I JUST cleaned my car and already a bird shit all over it. Oh my god it’s EVERYWHERE, how could a bird even shit this much? Oh it REEKS jesus christ I’m never gonna get the smell out. It’s so rancid my eyes are watering. I think I’m gonna be sick…

Oh, hello there. You’re just in time to help me clean up this mess. Don’t be afraid to really get in there, it’s really caked on. I left it to dry in the sun a bit, I hope you don’t mind. While you’re here, I might as well tell you about my new invention.

Behold, the Foul Fowl. (It’s actually a Corvid, but you get the idea.)

Now, as soon as I noticed the beautiful new item set that is Armorum Excrementis, I was overwhelmed by a bubbling feeling in my gut. That sensation signified an overwhelming urge to create a build around it. A friend of mine was interested in getting back into Grim Dawn, and was interested in a build incorporating Wereraven… and suddenly it clicked. There are few animals on earth that are as prolific waste-dispensers as birds. So I got to work.

You missed a spot, by the way. You see that big white splat? Yeah, my car is steel grey. Not birdshit white.

This isn’t my first build, but it is my first published build. I’ve played GD very casually on and off through the years, so please, temper your expectations. Input is welcome, but the armor set is non-negotiable, as is the Wereraven form. Off the bat, the OA/DA aren’t exactly where I’d like them to be; they’re just passable. I also have a small surplus of skill points that are in need of a home. I could foresee energy management being a problem, especially if we aren’t critting enough to give battle surge a respectable uptime.

The focus here, as you could guess, is Throw Feces. We have a fairly obscenely high cast speed of 247% to really lay it on thick.

I haven’t playtested this build at all; this is just theory. But nobody else has published a build for this item set, so I figured somebody had to.

Happy shitting.

I just levelled this build 1-100 and it is sublime. I managed a 10 second ravager kill on Hardcore Ultimate with one hand behind my back and an enraged goose trying to kill me irl and it wasn’t even difficult. A++ top tier build would play again.

Well… I’m sure the Bonechilling Cries as you unleash Vile Eruptions from Dreeg’s Evil, uh, Eye will leave your foes feeling vulnerable and alarmed.

10/10, no notes OP.

Amazing! Now instead of watching you tube videos of gorillas flinging turd at innocent families, I can now do the same thing in this game!

Thank you for all of the kind words :slight_smile: Keep scrubbing.

I’ve been working on a build version with this set with the help of people on the Discord server for optimizations. I run with Sentinel as the class.

Will post after I’ve tested and optimized further. I was the dude who asked for this set to exist many many many times since Forgotten God’s was out, so I really want to test it and give feedback until it’s solid.

Current theory is that the Retaliation added to attack versions of this build are subpar but trying to build it ignoring retaliation actually can get quite decent stats.

I don’t think meme sets should ever be allowed to be S tier, but I would like a hyper optimized version to reach high B or low A. That way it’s worthy to join multiplayer games and surprise people.

I’m looking forward to sharing. :slight_smile:

This sounds solid! Excited to see it. Sadly by virtue of being a Sentinel, you will not be a bird shitting everywhere. But that’s ok.

I have a similar setup I’m working on with Reaver instead of Mystic, can face tank tempest totems atm still farming ugdenblooms for components.

I wanna say my Ice Talons does a good bit more damage than throwing poops, but I do try to fart with every cold snap or whatever it is called.

Point starved atm so still figuring out where I need to tweak

Tossed what I have atm still a buncha tweaking to figure out what I need to trim and make sure fits on my controller :D.

Noodling with adding lethal assault and the berserker warcry back in (once I can get a mod roll for it to acid).

Done. Thank YOU for posting a build with this around retaliation to attack.

How well has it been doing for you? Ascendant difficulty? SR? I’m trying to find the strongest build variety of using this set.
