Cabalist on Aether DB+Reap+Sigils (1.3.1PT) | 36SR++ Calla Full Facetank

Grim Dawn Classes, Skills and Builds

I would like to start by saying that my English is not very good and there might be mistakes in the text. This char was leveled up by me, personally, from scratch.

This character is extremely tanky and high-dps, especially against single targets. It features an new recharge mechanic for Doom Bolt and Reap Spirit, all backed up by Sigils and a overall color palette.

Because amulet have conversion to Sigils, medal & book - dmg bonuses for him.

I got unlucky and rolled a Pierce resist suffix on the amulet. Ideally, it should be Aether, but it’s not a dealbreaker. However, if you manage to get it, you’ll be able to swap out a couple of components and boost your armor

Because they give strong bonuses to Doom Bolt (our primary source of DPS) along with a massive amount of OA

You can use this alternative, but it’s a bit worse

Shattered Realms:
SR37 || SR40
Super-Bosses:
Calla Full Facetank

Note

You can swap your class auras depending on the situation

If you want more damage: Harbinger of Souls
If you need more survivability (helps a lot): Possession
Most of the time, I was running with Harbinger just to make spellcasting feel a bit smoother/faster.

Some gear and affixes can be shuffled around, but it is important to:

  • keep HP at 18-20k+
  • keep DA at 3k-3.4k+ without devotion proc, and OA at 3.6k+ without dev proc. We need MORE OA, because crits can recharge Reap Spirit & Doom Bolt.

Very nice, I wouldn’t expect such a tanky dude using Clairvoyant!

Did you decide on Beronath’s only for the onslaught? Is there enough downtime between spells that it’s smooth getting the autoattacks in?

Yep, because of the onslaughts and good stats on the relic. And in between casts, usually, build up like 1-2 onslaught, that’s already a good. But other options can be considered, I thought about that. For example, eternity or aurora, and replacing the AA itself.

Wow full facetank on calla is impressive, wouldn’t expect that from Clair build. Excited to try this set once next patch is live. Also I love the color pallette of aether builds like this one
