Hi!

It’s me again.

This time I tried to see what I would happen if I converted the werewolf to vitality.

GRIMTOOLS - shield version

GRIMTOOLS - DW version

The backbone of the build is the skill Bone Harvest, the items Ravager’s Bite and Blood Knight set. All the rest can be whatever you have on your stash and help you cap the resistances. I personally found a bit tricky to cap its resistances so I relied on greens and ascended prefixes.

As it is right now is good enough to beat SR32 in time with no deaths (but I didn’t fight Vinn, so it’s always a possibility).

It can also kill Lokarr and the Bourbons. I still need to roam a bit on ascendant so I can test it against Storm Totems and the Dread.

As always criticism is welcome.

SR31 Boss Room using the dual wield version:

Can’t use lantern devo with those weapons. I’d prob swap pants too, you don’t need freeze res or adcth from solael. Bleed res can be made up with bloodied crystals cos you don’t need stun res from topaz. Could run grava pants for spectral wrath points maybe

I wonder if it’s just better to use reaping arc as your main attack skill with so little investment in werewolf. Could drop it down to 1/16 if that’s the case and free up some points. Also have you tried dual wielding the main hand over the shield? Would at least help with the attack speed

I haven’t tried DW yet, since my HP is low I thought to use the shield as a defensive layer. But I will conduct some tests.

On the Reaping Arc vs Feral claws, according to the DPS meter Feral claws is 58% more dps.

My first draft used Morgoneth Pants and Boneshatter Treads, but it had 0 freeze resist.

As fars as numbers go:

Morgoneth Pants + Boneshatter:

OA 3527
DA 2898
Armor 2750
Phys res 43%
Stun 80%
Freeze 0%
Slow 28%

Solael Pants + Intrepid:

OA 3408
DA 3181
Armor 2582
Phys res 39%
Stun 80%
Freeze 80%
Slow 28%

DPS wise Morgoneth is marginally superior (about 2,5% more DPS)

Probably for general use Morgoneth + Boneshatter is better, because of higher OA and armor, but in SR getting frozen may lead to death.

Oh thx for the tip on the devotion. I guess I was a bit sleepy when making the map. Anyway, I fixed that already. But I think I’ll conduct some testing and see if droping Gallows for Empty Throne is better.

Don’t you need flat rr in new devo map? Might be a little overkill on defense too if taking ghoul/tortoise/bat all together.
Either way, if you consider dw, I’d probably do it like this if you’re interested Veilwalker, Level 100 (GD 1.3.0.8) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator
Widow’s Bite ring is pretty good, has better rr, doesn’t need crits to proc and has useful skill bonuses. The conversion also brings your chaos->vit to 90% for converting Abom devo and flat chaos from off-hand. Since you’re not in desperate need of oa/da you can consider reroll of belt/medal suffix to chase resistances/hp. On weapons you’ll want the attack speed asc bonuses I think
