Grim Tools: Conjurer, Level 100 (GD 1.3.1.0) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator
This is the modern / updated version of my old “Unstoppable Briar-Swarm” build. I created a new thread since the old one is a bit ancient and there have been significant changes. I hadn’t played since 1.1.9.3, and came back for FoA release. I moved over to softcore as my muscle memory had faded, playtime was limited, mechanics had changed significantly, and I didn’t want to worry about deaths while I was figuring things out again. That said, the build is certainly viable for hardcore mode for those interested.
In general, I aim for the build to be balanced between offense and defense - I prefer not to die even on softcore, and I don’t care about having the fastest possible clear times but also don’t want it to feel too slow. As in the past, the build has maxed all CC resistances (now also including skill disruption) hence the “Unstoppable” title. All regular resistances are overcapped by 40+, 3.5k+ DA, 3.3k+ Armor. I don’t mind having a lot of buttons to push, so fair warning it isn’t optimized to minimize those.
The screenshotted in-game stats here have potion buffs & Blood of Dreeg active (as they are functionally permanent):
