Build Compendium X (Forgotten Gods)

[x1x1x1x2]

Isn’t there a rule that all builds added to the compendium should be already tested builds? So that whenever someone asks a question about your build, you can at least answer it cause you’ve played it. If you submit a grimtools without items, it won’t be acceptable unless you tested it without the items

@computertech82 is the build you linked playable without items? Cause if yes then I’d accept it if I’m in charge. If it’s not then it shouldn’t be in this compendium, even on beginner builds cause when a beginner sees this, equips their stuff that don’t have anything related to pets and gets dumpstered on ultimate. You’ll be the one getting hate posts for that.

Isn’t there a rule that all builds added to the compendium should be already tested builds?

If this rule was ever in effect then it wasn’t documented. Previous iteratiion of compendium only had a line that “Testing the build up to max level before posting is highly suggested”. This allows a lot of loopholes to be honest. E.g. you could try to sneak into compendium a 100% theorycrafted build that never was tested. Or you could submit your level 10 build. Somehow people didn’t happen to abuse that before, so I decided not to formalize that. The post really didn’t age well huh

Well, since it did happen then I’ll have to formalize it, should be done before the end of the week.

The Character had finished before. I’m simply trying to reuse it for Forgotten Gods. So I wouldn’t really call it a draft or sketch. Just simply a core build, up to the user to what gear to use.

Let’s not go in circles on this. Like I said before, I understand your logic, but that doesn’t make it an acceptable submission for compendium. Get your character to level 90-100, upload it to GT to get a link to it, and post it in your thread, then you could have your build in compendium. You could leave your “core” build as an extra.

Which builds could be submitted into Compendium X

A build that has a dedicated thread on this forum. Compendium essentially is a collection of links to these threads. Builds that do not have a dedicated thread thread can’t participate in the compendium.

There are no strict rules on what such thread should contain, so check out other submissions to get a general understanding on what makes a good build thread. The highly recommended minimum is:

1. grimtools link of your character;
2. A screenshot of your character’s sheet in-game (example);
3. A short description.

Note that Compendium’s definition of a build is your character’s build. Grimtools allows you to theorycraft builds in great detail, but builds without an existing character can’t be submitted into Compendium. Whether you levelled the character legit or created one with a cheat tool doesn’t matter.

Also, do not submit builds that are not at level cap or reasonably close. It is perfectly fine to post your low level character’s build on this forum, but it is viewed as work in progress. Compendium is for more or less finished builds (think of it as an archieve).

Updated this section of the compendium. Do tell if there’s some problem with it.

Why is it not sticky/pin? It would help if it is

[x1x1x1x2]

Is there a single thread stickied for you? If yes then open it and you get your answer.

[medea_fleecestealer]

Why is it not sticky/pin? It would help if it is

Because it’s stickied here

Build Compendiums

Players have generated many builds over the years. They have been collected in Compendiums for ease of viewing. Build Compendium X (Forgotten Gods Builds) Build Compendium IX (Ashes of Malmouth Builds) Build Compendium V (Base Game Builds) Alternatively you can use the below Class Table, which organizes threads by class tags. For builds theorycrafted prior to Grim Dawn’s latest expansion, see the Pre-release Forgotten Gods Theorycrafts.

It’s a pilot project, so I chose Crucible since it has widely accepted standards. No SR for now, sorry.

[omnitrio]

And who is accept this standards?
