Insane Build. What do you think of Mythical Avenger of Cairn? Would it make the build tankier? Your amulet doesn’t seem all that impressive
I think that Avenger of Cairn has nothing to do with the build. Shambler’s Heart gives us flat, %phys damage, oa, as, armor, +3 to temper even. And the build already facetanks everything w/o any issues.

The absolute numbers for every bonus provided by this weapon are insane, i don’t think we have another 2h weapon like this.
You can literally slap it on a commando build with only rare / yellows and have an ultimate mode clearing character

Dear friend my apologies if i ask many questions but i started playing Grim dawn since FoA released and although i have already 280 hours I’m still learning . On the two handed weapon the best ascendant mode is Vindictive Flame you already have or Blast shield ? Thanks in advance 
They’re both good but BS one is more impactful to overall performance.

Can you make another build using huge wood instead?
I can. But most likely it will be worse than Ironlord. If it’s any good, I’ll add it as a bonus build.
Nice build. Just one question. Why dont you use double rares? Shouldnt “Of Oleron’s Wrath” for the Head be better than “of the Wolf”?
“of the Wolf” is a very good cheap option, one of the best for phys, actually. It gives you a lot of raw stats so you get more damage thru cunning and reach phys requirements with less physique investments.
If you manage to get a double-rare helm, good for you. But it won’t be significantly better - a tiny bit more damach, less OA.

Hey, I’m curious what’s the value of Brimstone here?
Looks like a lot of investment to get there but then it’s only 1 point into the skill (+2).
You also get all the Physique + Cunning + Spirit from the Mastery bar, enabling you to put less points into those stats to meet gear requirements.

Just an extra bit of flat. We anyway need demo’s tree at 50/50 for attributes

I managed to roll blasted shield on weapon 
, the problem is atm I’m hostile with Barrowholm faction on normal and ultimate. Shall i play again on elite or take a different augmentation my friend? Ty

Ehh, ideally you should’ve sided with Barrowholm on normal, max rep, buy all you need and then go hostile on Ultimate
I don’t know actually if siding with them on Elite affects Ultimate if the latter is already done 
but you can try?
The closest augs to 4% hp ones are those with 150 hp/16da or 150hp/6% healing effects.

I like this build but i am new player, so i will need a leveling build please and how to migration to end game
How you leveling it?
Since this is obviously an end-game build, you’d need to level with different gear, and likely different skills.
You can just wing it on your own, doing fire melee Firestrike with the likes of Barthollem’s Warmaul.
Or if you’d like additional guidance, you can level with fire Forcewave:
There is a video guide linked in the comments at the bottom of the thread, but here’s a direct link:
In the video’s description there are Grimtool snapshots at different levels to help you see which items to aim for.
Once you get to end game, and farm all the gear (especially the Ironlord axe), you can respec to the main build.

first of all, thank you very much for sharing this build, I’m having a blast.
I’m trying to build/farm this myself, after after maybe a week of farming, I have the medal (dropped with both affixes), the helmet (dropped with the correct suffix), three belts with the correct suffix that are now too expensive to roll, one copy of the weapon and a devestating of alacritiy amulet.
Spaulders, I’m still farming. What’s totally missing: The Stone Thane ring, and the gloves. I have not seen the gloves drop anywhere, and I have done a ton of totems.
Any ideas or suggestions how to farm for the ring and gloves?
both are random drops, so for legendaries I’d say it’s sr30-31 and for gloves… I dunno. probably monster totems drop the most epics? I don’t remember that
