While digging into the new content with an old level 100 character I came across this interesting item:
Which made me curious about how I could theory craft around it, and decided to try and set up an infinite loop TSS + Overguard Battlemage.
The idea is to have 100% block + 100% Recovery to constantly refresh TSS which in turn refreshes Overguard.
Here is where I am at level 98: Battlemage, Level 98 (GD 1.3.0.5) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator
I’m not quite 100% there yet… there are definitely some upgrades to be had all around… specifically with the Band of the Eternal Haunt. I just haven’t found the recipe to make the Mythical version yet.
But!
At 98, on Ultimate, it’s working surprisingly well, slapping everything, and the theory of having the infinite loop is in full effect.
I’m at ~1000h played in this game over many years and have never bothered to post any of my build concepts because there was always something similar here already, or on Grimtools.
This is the first time I’ve come across pretty much no content already created with the setup I was trying out.
Feel free to call my baby ugly as I’d like to find the ways to make this build better that I might not be seeing yet.
It’s totally a work in progress, lots of things are subject to change as I experiment.
I’ll hopefully have it to 100 in the next day or two and give it a go in Ascended Mode!
