BM build need advice for Ravager of Flesh!

Hi, this is my physical Blademaster build:

https://www.grimtools.com/calc/b28vvmyZ

He is a crucible gladiator farmer (with just 2 defensive buffs), however, I can’t kill Ravager of Flesh even on Elite. He deals too much damage at some point.

Do I need to make specific potions? Do I need to change any gears or devotions or components? My Vitality res is at 69% overcapped and I think it’s good. Or does Blademaster just can’t kill him? Or do I need to switch to Belgothian set which people say is way better (I like Warborn though, it is my beloved old school set)

Or just switch to another class?

Help! thanks

Look here for reference http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67380. It’s old and different meta but this is probably the way.

I noticed you don’t use Assassin’s Mark. Your phys res is low due to no dual blades. Energy and health regen is overinvested in (maybe for R. of Souls or Mind you’d need that - the one with energy leech - but IMO not or R. of Flesh). Using the second highest armor piercing weapon on a phys build is also a miss (9 out of 10 times you want Beronath sword there on any dw phys build) as are imo that boots and that conduit (hardcap on FC is cute but…). But the biggest thing is no adcth. Also, attribute points are not allocated in that link.

Are you sure you could “farm gladiator” (means do 150-170 in under 12 min consistently) with just 2 buffs? I’m just asking cause I’m curious how some people pull this off with some setups…

Ah, I forgot to update attribute points.

Here is the link with attribute points update:

And yes! I use him to farm crucible grad 170. I only need empyrion and ulo buff to get tanky as I deal a lot of damage already. You can try it.

You are right! why do I not get Assasin’s Mark. I thought it only gives pierce resistance for some reasons

I will do according to your advice and will try again!

feel bad for asking but what is adcth?

Hi, I fixed the build to this:

https://www.grimtools.com/calc/lNkxxLR2

CHanges: switched weapon to beronath, change devotions to take assasin’s mark and light of empyrion and oleron

Take execution

switch the open hand/closed fist rings with Black matriarch and Lifegiver signet

Did not try it with Ravager yet but Crucible seems good! Any more comments?:slight_smile:

ADCTH = Attack Damage Converted To Health.

I saw similar build capable to kill any superboss: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/JVlljeRV

I can say Circle of Slaughter makes superboss fights so much easier.
EDIT: and OA. Ravager has like 3100 DA, so hitting him with 3100 OA is already 90 PTH, lower OA means misses and decreased damage.
