Build suggestion wanted [First-time Playthrough]

have you tried to read and follow @Maya beginner builds? Or did you just look at his end-game build?

here are the beginner builds The Carnival - A Guide to Pets

and The Carnival - A Guide to Pets for the complete guide for them (click on The Carnival - A Guide to Pets (Formatted by @Ceno)" then on 4.Beginners guide" )

Instead of giving up and chaning builds all the time, try to ask for help and learn about why it doesn’t work as expected for you

btw it is extremely hard to make “hybrid” builds in Grim Dawn, even with good gear. You need both players and pet stats, player and pet skill points, and by attacking mob you will draw aggro etc.
