Quick update, here’s my level 75 spec as I start on ultimate: Witch Hunter, Level 75 (GD 1.2.1.6) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator

Main changes:

  • Raven → Scorpion (bound to movement skill)
  • Cap Veil/Night’s chill
  • 1 point in Solael’s Witchfire and Second Rite
  • Investing into PB tree

I also mocked up a theoretical level 100 spec, swapping to eternal curse and deathstalker but not fully redoing the other gear/components/augments: Witch Hunter, Level 100 (GD 1.2.1.6) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator

I have to re-work a bit my take on the very same build, but once it is finished, I will upload a link with a different setup, for your inspiration…

Achieved level 100 HC with my first homebrew build!!

Here’s the setup after an hour or so of farming lvl 94 upgrades: Witch Hunter, Level 100 (GD 1.2.1.6) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator

I’d particularly appreciate feedback on the components, I’m not super familiar with end game setups. My method was 1) get full armor absorb, 2) fill resistance gaps (piercing, elemental, aether), 3) pick things with OA/DA.

Also, it turns out that Chosen Raiment has massive spirit requirements, so I was a bit constrained on upgrades. I might need to move some physique into spirit (and/or finish attribute point quests) to have more flexibility.

Next up: skeleton key dungeons for eternal curse, death stalker, and other upgrades!

I can say one thing right now (from my perspective): You can farm a bit in Ancient Grove / Feral Thicket / Tainted Wood for better affixes on your Bilelauncher.
Aim for:
Venomfang Ugdenbog Bilelauncher of the Corrosion
Corrosive Ugdenbog Bilelauncher of the Venomclaw
If you got lucky with double rare:
Venomfang Ugdenbog Bilelauncher of the Venomclaw
[Venomfang means acid dmg and +4 to Lethal Assault ; Venomclaw means acid dmg and +4 to Lethal Assault]
Putrid Necklace, Basilisk Mark and Viloth’s Ring are (for me again) your endgear.

Just shop the rifle at the AG shop. Do the vendor reset trick.

My first rifle dropped with venomfang and I was spoiled for the next 30 levels or so.

I’ve been running the Habnor bounty through gloomwald to farm the rifle (also has high likelihood of totem) but didn’t know it was also in the AG shop. Drop rates are pretty low on the rifle, so I might suck it up and shop farm a bit (even though I hate it)

Ugh, 10 minutes of shopping at Viinelton and got Corrosive of the Venomclaw, for +14k DPS reported in the tooltip comparison with LA up.

Sooner or later, “Venomfang UBL of the Venomclaw” will drop or will be bought and that would be “really something”!
