[Advice] First time level 100 - Vitality Cabalist

Grim Dawn Classes, Skills and Builds
1

Hey everyone!

I just got my 1st character to level 100.
I have completed AoM and half way done with FG.

I would like to have some feedback on my build/gear as I feel like I am having a hard time against bosses.
I am a bit clueless on what/where to farm.
I was thinking Dark One Set but not really sure where those items drops.

Here’s my GT link : https://www.grimtools.com/calc/gZwLvxbN

Thanks alot for your time and suggestions !

EDIT: just saw your thing on dark one’s. Can’t seem to find the link to the lokarr quest guide. Maybe @medea_fleecestealer can help?

1stly, welcome to the forum, and congratulations on making the cabalist your first choice. (#chaos/vit/acid4life)

^here are some recommended changes to your skill points/devotions/augments you can very easily make.

As for pushing it to the next level, I’d suggest farming the dark one’s set (it’s probably one of the 2 easiest m. sets to farm).

If you have the recipe for m. blood orb that’s great too.

Blue items worth keeping an eye out for:

  • M. cursebearer (hands down the best ring for vit. based cabalists)

Purple items worth keeping an eye out for:

  • Amulet: m. soulcatcher
  • Offhand: blood orb of chthon (check your black smith. You may already have the recipe for it! Look up blacksmith bonuses too, because you’d probably want to craft one with slow resistance)
  • m. signet of the fallen
  • Pants: arcane harmony (craftable), legwraps of the tranquil mind, wraithborne <-- all great choices
  • shoes : I’d go for grey magi to fix resists/defence actually.
  • belt: m. girdle of stolen dreams
  • relic: eldritch pact

Green items:

  • A good basilisk medal with -0.5s to ravenous earth

2nd EDIT: With blood orb, you may also want to use seal of blight. its been buffed recently, and is actually quite decent.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Vitality Cabalist is indeed new player friendly build. Medea have given you link about the quest. Here’s link for my budget build with Dark one. Every item from it’s easy available https://www.grimtools.com/calc/lV7B8zB2

Edit : What does the ‘M’ mean (ie: M. cursebearer) ?

Hey @sir_spanksalot,

Thank you very much for that reply!

I unlocked both, classic and AoM secret quest.
I did not manage to kill John Bourbon.
Lokarr just 2-3 shots me, even with the jelly’s potions up and running.

For the FG secret quest, I am almost done. I need to finish FG to finish it.

Regarding Dark One Set items, do I understand they can drop from those 4 Rift-Claimed Adherent from Ege of Reality when trying to get to Lokarr ?

Thank you very much !
