I always wanted to make a character that had tons of life steal and was basically immortal because of it, and looking trough the build compendium I thought the Krieg’s Battle Mage Tank-Melee-aether by Seppuku was really nice and looking trough the coments of his forum post I found this guy’s comment (http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showpost.php?p=565391&postcount=32), so I tought, why not a DK ? It’s got massive DctH potential and combining with some devos and Seppuku’s build could turn out a real nice one, so I present you my build.
GRIMTOOLS:
http://www.grimtools.com/calc/RZRALlxV Used to be my main build, now I use build 2 (BUILD 1)
http://www.grimtools.com/calc/O2GlMmqV Its got a little less DctH and a little less damage but it has about 500 + DA and a little more OA and can easily solo gladiator crucible. (BUILD 2)
GRIMTOOLS WITHOUT GEAR:
http://www.grimtools.com/calc/0V0JEyMN (BUILD 1)
http://www.grimtools.com/calc/r2BogyzV (BUILD 2)
PROS:
Easy to farm gear
Good AOE for fast trash mob clearing
Looks cool
Facetanking everything
Huge sustain from Devos and necro skills.
CONS:
No astronomical single target damage.
You will be drinking energy potions like an alcohol addict that lost his family, job and house at christmas.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOAHDJJ0jBA (Build 1) In this video I don’t even have optimized gear, no faction powders whatsoever, I still dont have peerlees eye of beronath and both myth band of the eternal haunt and still I could facetank MQ all the time and kill her in 43sec.
More videos are to come as I get more my resistences up to go crucible and update this thread.
https://youtu.be/8yV_rymimM0 (Build 2) Facetanked Mog without ANY buff potions and did it. This build is turning out to be the strongest one I’ve played until now. First atack at 0:21 and killed him at 8:59, 8:38 to kill him.
https://youtu.be/5CSuatd4vFw (Build 2) 100-150 Gladiator Crucible with no extra spawns and buffed. And sorry for that noise during the video, my GF was drying her hair, forgot to turn off the mic xD

Where to farm Krieg’s Set?
Krieg’s Chest and Mask drops from Fleshweaver Krieg (In the area before final boss)
Krieg’s Shoulderguards and Grips drops from Valaxteria which is near the last shrine.
Krieg’s Boots drops from Terrnox which is on a cellar at the south of malmouth outskirt rift.
This info I got originally from Sepukku’s thread also.
Gamplay:
Rush in with Blitz -> use Warcry -> Use Overguard -> Mark of Torment on Strongest Enemy -> Ill Omen -> Krig’s Wrath -> Siphon Souls then Repeat.
Always use Blitz when off cooldown as it’s an important damage source.
Final Comments:
Thank you both Sepukku(http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/member.php?u=17396) and MrTek(http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/member.php?u=13756) for the inspiration of this build.
And if you guys have any sugestions I would be glad to hear it as I’m not much of a hardcore or experienced build crafter.
Thanks !
