What is the best build that can clear ultimate content (fastest clears, boss times). It does not have to be able to clear crucible gladiator.
I know Cadence WB and commandos are two of the best for crucible gladiator. But I’m wondering for normal content.
DW pierce BM.
And I tend to have different opinion about crucible also.
Okay yah I was thinking about DW blademaster…but I thought saboteur performed better after the nerfs to blademaster
Curious…wats your different opinion on crucible?
Saboteur is good and slightly less gear dependent but it just cant measure with BM in speed and kill times.
About crucible Im not 100% sure yet but I really think that BWC sorcerer outperforms any melee build in there.
+1 to JoV
Note: I am a DW addict with a special love for BMs
whats the definitive BM build for 1.007?
I think this is the all-round most viable - http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47967
Though i still cant get over not using DM set…
JoV’s Blademaster (Both Ranged and DW)-
Superfluff’s Commando -

If at least they hadn’t nerfed MArkovian set to 4.5 CD because…reasons…to get more Blitz.
Bwc is AOE spam as main ability and that very good in Crucible. Not sure against single targets
Link to Superfluffs is Jovs build
From my testing Markovian is slightly ahead of warborn since 1.0.0.7, warborn get nerfed, crucible is harder than 1.0.0.6 which allow markovian to be more safe with perma overguard and also better uptime of breakmoral. 
I know its a bit unorthodox, but I tested the BWC build on dummy, 55 secs to kill it with all energy problems cuz couldn’t proc healing rain or AW nor adsorb any energy from enemy spells :undecided:
Used setup with 3 ectos and maxed mental alacrity to compensate.
Edit: Just for the record I did it in DC and second dummy after first one started to regenerate was on ~1/2 HP left 
If i remember correectly the more dps oriented warborn commando does kind of the same 55-60 seconds, somewhere in that area. Still BWC is AoE spam so it’ different as pointed out in your edited statement about the 1/2 health dummy:p
@Drizzto. I tend to agree with you. I fell all around better playing Markovian. Even with the nerf to set CD.
Its something in that range, few secs up or down. I pointed in build guide that single target dps of BWC build is equal to single target dps of some shield build ie WB, BM, commando, but AOE is just idk how many times better
Only gonna comment for Crucible part. I have cleared Glad crucible multiple times with CT Sorc and CT Warlock, had other builds tweaked but these two i had the fastest speed and highest success rate.
Other build i did Glad was as you assumed a Commando using Justicar set and Infernal Brimstone, Justicar just gives so much DA, armor and armor absorption combined with Commando pool.
Im sure there are many Glad Crucible builds out there that i havent tried.
Cadence + Shield.
It comes in two flavors.
Commando or Witchblade.
Enjoy.
Taste the diversity.
So incorrect, especially when vanilla game is concerned
Nope.
Keep telling yourself that Crucible isn’t endgame, though.
I will repeat this again: I finished crucible even with 0 phys/spirit DW BM build, not to mention other tankier characters and no by tankier I dont mean s&B ones.
Btw, i’ve been meaning to ask this. Can your BM and Fluff’s BM beat Ultimate Mogdrogen?
I mean i know BMs were shitting on Mog thanks to broken procs of DM set, but post nerf i didn’t notice much about a BM killing Mogdrogen
