I’m realitive new on this game. I’m already on endgame with a Sentinel build that I look on Youtube and now I’m tryin to do a one by miself. Also I noticed that hybrid builds like these are pretty hard to pull off on lastes difficulty levels so I need a lil’ help with that, specially with devotion points
Thanks in advance
Welcome to Grim Dawn. The reason that hybrid builds are so hard to do well is that when you make the player & the pets equally powerful the build overall is much weaker than it would be if either aspect were focused on.
This is by design and it will never change unless the game is re-written and there is next to no chance that is going to happen.
Also I guess the reason that no-one has replied till now is that the allocation of skill points is not an ideal way to start making a build. It’s by far faster & easier to start with gear than skills. Gear alone can dictate the direction a build goes and skills alone very rarely do. There is a set that will actually make the build that you describe work but in a different way than the one you’ve thought of thus far.
The Clairvoyant’s Focus
This is an Aether Ray based build that has supplemental pets. Please note that the pets themselves are not the focus and the damage the spell cast does to the target upon impact is where more damage comes from.
Best of luck on your journeys and adventures in Cairn!
Not sure if this qualifies as “hybrid”, but at least it’s Reap Spirits + AAR (probably as developers intended):
Spellbinder, 1.2 - three heals + Phoenix
in game i bound skills/devos like this:
Dryad’s Blessing to Reap Spirit (you get heal all the time)
Aether Corruptioin to Arcane Bomb (Aether Corruptions ticks a lot and it’s a good proccer)
Will of Rattosh to AAR - heavy damage (partly converted) + -% vit res / -% life leech res
Phoenix Fire to Ill Omen.
Build managed Ravager of Minds (kiting in second phase), SR 75-76 is a breeze, SR 90-91 is manageable without deaths, slow but sturdy.
My off-hand has pierce res in-game so pierce res is capped.
I am looking now for a Fleshwarped Tome (with % pierce res on it) to try more aggressive approach and to convert all Vitality damage to Aether (Will of Rattosh) + partial Lightning to Aether will boost AAR damage as well.
