I’m not great at theorycrafting so there’s probably lots of suboptimal stuff. Basically the idea was jump into groups, pop bonechilling cry/ill omen and clear with winds of asterkarn. Aether ice talons for stragglers. Kinda struggling to get enough hp/oa. But I feel like it’s doable
Raven has generally a problem of lack of items compared to wolf.
Also I noticed that wolf has many onslaught stacks available and raven almost none.
Obviously OA could be better but it is not terrible. % Aether dam should be higher.
And loose physiqe for spirit. You are fine with just 662 physique.
Why max Raven and Winds together? Use either one or the other.
I don´t see any leech on the skills? How do you sustain it? I see winds have % weapon damage. OK but still small leech I would say.
As a first sketch it will work for ultimate but it is very unoptimized for endgame.
Wasn’t sure where to put the points really. I guess foul eruption for flat rr. Dropping raven points does mean I can swap weapon maybe wrath of ascendant
Yeah I’ll probably have to switch to a regen setup. Weapon damage mods for winds seem pretty small
Redistribute points like this.
Change items for more OA, life and + skills to hailstorm.

Thanks I will keep working at it
This is where I’m at now, picked up some life and healing but probably still need more aether damage Veilwalker, Level 100 (GD 1.3.0.5) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator
Looks better but flat RR and devos are worse. RR on foul eruption node of RE does not work on single bosses. It only works if there is stuff around dying. Because it is on death. So for engame useless RR. For campaign fine I guess.
Your previous devos were better because you had RR on Scales. Scales are also good for healing if you have conversion (and you do) and energy regen.
You still need to get some heal on Winds for endgame. But now it could do lower shards in SR. And ascendant without dread mostly.
What about your energy regen? Is it sufficient?
I would build it around this off-hand Groble Frost Effigy - Rare Off-Hand - Grim Dawn Item Database

Right I forgot that about foul eruption. Thanks
Then I’ll go back to devo map like this Veilwalker, Level 100 (GD 1.3.0.5) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator
I think energy is ok with winds at 187 cost per sec and 270 energy regen + scales
Bit of extra healing from scales too with full conversion but yeah will try to fit leech on winds
Does this modifier need %weapon damage to work?
No. It does not.

No it will work just like drain essence’s life steal
or as how “pulsing shard” caster off-hand gives life steal to albrech aether ray

Oh cool. So any item giving direct adcth just works. That helps alot thanks! I think it can be a real build because of this

problem will be to farm such off-hand will aether affixes, but if you manage to get one with at least one rare affix you can start rerolling it

I would farm grobles on ascendant for it. They drop it a lot. It is from grobles in FoA. Before Kurnhold.

I guess for hailstorm some global conversion is needed?
There should really be a tech update so that secondary skills are covered by the skill conversion without need for global.
But aether conversion for raven should fix hailstorm.
So you need to play the original gun and the groble off-hand. That should cover conversions. You will loose RR though… It needs to be tested which is a better way but I would guess gun + off-hand. And winds conduit also of course.
There is not much support for raven in general and aether one is tough and same goes for winds. Maybe I will theorycraft something for you when I have time.

Yeah I was just about to comment on that, skill conversion will not work on hailstorm
But the raven conversion is on buff level so its global
So the build must be built around these three items - gun, leech off-hand and winds conduit.
Rest of the items to fit these three.

Sounds good. Yeah converting secondary skills can be such a pain. And does feel tricky to assemble winds outside of regular builds like cold via stormfang. A bit more support would be nice since it feels like this skill needs lots to get off the ground
This should work. CC res are a pain to get tho. You can still use two seals of resonance if you do not get the same affixes. I think this build should be on the cusp of doing SR 36. But I never tried winds. So don´t know how good they are.
Fateweaver´s chest is a must.
The other MI belt for berserker would be better but it has aether to cold conversion. I am not sure if it will mess anything. Most likely not and could be used for petrify res instead.
Oh yes - it will mess with spectral wrath and rattosh damage. So the other belt is a no go.
Or will the raven conversion just disable the conversion on the belt? I don´t know…
Hmm I would think raven takes priority on conversion? but not sure. That setup looks pretty solid. Back to old reliable eternal haunt for rr. I was looking at this medal too for 200% aether dam on raven Mythical Mark of Anathema - Legendary Medal - Grim Dawn Item Database
Didn’t chanelling skills get bonus to cc res or was it just some of them?
Medal could be but has no + hailstorm… Also with MI you can roll affixes to fix things…
I don´t know about the conversion.
Only spinners.
