tip of the scales proc, 33% wd

see i thought that was supposed to have wd so didn’t really understand why i didn’t see it 
, just another moment of spontaneous blindness i guess 
Hyrian’s glare has 85%. Procs every 2 sec on getting hit. Could be something to think about:
Edit: 37 flat turns into 31, 22% into 19.7%. That’s almost 50 RR on top of your gear and devotions if I’m correct here
A special mechanism, if you stand at right position, i.e., the overlap position of Callagadra. Then, hammers can hit the boss twice every round. Hit once every 180 degrees/every second, instead of the normal every 360 degrees/every 2 seconds.
So, 2:19

Disgusting! I was so wrong to think that retals don’t have a chance to beat 6:47 record.
EDIT: Is that DA so necessary? Maybe lowering it can result in even faster kill.
Not sure, I just played two rounds today. I didn’t make precise adjustments.
Menhir’s Will only activated once in this video. So it is feasible to reduce DA.
As I do with my retals - max cunning stack. You don’t really benefit from Spirit and stacking Physique/DA reduces the effectiveness of your retaliation output.

Have you tried Mythical Shard of Asterkarn - Items - Grim Dawn Item Database for extra rr? Not sure if it’s better than the pistol.
I tried, but my guy keeps dying 
it did look faster than 2min.
I suspect that Lightning > Cold conversion on the dagger ain’t so good for a retaliation warder.
Doesn’t really matter, does it? All the rr we have is elemental (unless I missed something).

Oh, that’s true. So might not matter then.
it would matter a bit since we have higher bonus to Lightning retal.

Ah, I didn’t think of that. It’s roughly 200% out of 1600/1800, depending on how you look at it. And you also loose 100% from the gun and some from oak skin, so then I’m not sure if it’s worth it
If I got the numbers right Calla’s lightning resist should be at 30% already, so another 10% is a bit more than 10% extra damage. It might work out as about equal. Not much better in any case 
Pistol got that 4% cdr which is important for Retal since it damage depends on its auras from devotions a lot.
No, you will lose more than 10% retaliation.
pistol: fire ~70k + lightning avg ~190k = 260k
dagger: fire ~60k + lightning avg ~160k = 220k
Taking out proc buffs, it is also more than 10% different.
p.s. GT doesn’t show the conversion, so the gap is even larger.
I‘m not sure whether full Dawnseek or 3 pieces + one other equipment is better. As Anvil deals massive damage, I just guess Counter Strike weights small. (I haven’t tested their gap yet.)
And, if I don’t use full set, which piece to change is the best. The pistol is the best if changing the weapon. My friend prefer shoulder to Divinesteel Shoulderguard.
My friend is considering whether Archon is tank enough for more RR. And Archon can focus more on fire retaliation and get Solael’s Witchblade.

hmm, you can also focus on Lightning retaliation and take PotT on it. Maybe there is something there.
Make pet at the overlapping position. The improvement is not significant, just to 2:29.
Instead, the constantly attacks have increased the pressure on survival.
Sad 
Edit.

Fiend for more damage. Not a stable build.
The stable version with Behemoth. Much more likely to succeed.

Feel hard to go in sub 2 minutes without huge changes to the entire framework.
Tested different combinations. Divinesteel Hauberk makes it possible to all in Cunning. 3900 OA when Fighting Spirit is activating. Augments may change to Osyr’s Fortitude, but I’m tired of it. Therefore, it’s the final version unless something makes a great boost.
