Buff pets against Callagadra, please

Grim Dawn Ideas and Feedback

I know this is a long shot, but with how the boss is intended to be anti melee and pretty much everything other than Familiars being melee, they get shotgunned and die rather fast all at the same time thanks to Cally’s Sand attack.

I know the fight is optional and I know it is a superboss, but personally I don’t believe it justifies it being absolutely impossible within a reasonable time frame.

If this is a learn to play Issue, I’d also love if someone can show me how to beat it with pets, without Familiar in under 20 mins.

I agree. Hopefully sigatrev knows some secret no ones found out yet though.

To be honest I think you’re a bit spoiled with how fantastic the pet performance has been. 20 min for a supper boss is not that much of an unreasonable time frame

There are plenty of builds that find supper bosses like ravager and Callagadra near impossible. Just try defeating them with dual melee tricksters/reapers builds and also builds like ranged fire strike purifiers or AAR binders for example.
I can be done but it requires patience, lots of consumables and cheesing to AI to smaller or larger degrees.

Let us see, Vindicator does Ravager in less than 2 mins.

Pets can no longer reach the 6 min crucible mark and there are plenty top tier non pet builds that can.

Pets can go deep into SR? Sure, but so can plenty of others. Tanks, Kiters, you name it.

Pet builds are easier to pilot and play, I will give you that. But pet performance isn’t exactly any more fantastic than the rest of the top guys.

If tricksters, reapers, purifier etc are having trouble, then imo, we should be looking into buffing them, not nerfing everything else to their level :stuck_out_tongue:

We’ll reduce Callagadra’s bonuses against pets in a future build (yes that’s a thing, pets be cheesy, yo).

Hooray! Ty Zantai :smiley:

>Callagadra’s bonuses against pets

lol didnt know theres such a thing, is it even stated on calla grimtools stats page? (is that “+25% Damage to Magical
28% Less Damage from Magical”) i presumee

That’s the stats that represents damage against pets. Mogdrogen has 10% and Ravager has 22% for contrast.

Nope, I don’t really care about the super bosses.

New OP build coming through. Plz don’t nerf.

Blue cheese should be nerfed out of existence.
