Question in the topic.

Thinking Paladin with Guardians and Wind Devils. Or Dervish with Guardians and Blade Spirits Or Trickster with Wind Devils and Blade Spirits?

yes, there are even several of them already existing, including on the top20 iirc there was a totem/devil archon :thinking: .edit yep Archon, Level 100 (GD 1.2.1.6) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator
“immortal” army pet dervish been semi famous for years for the memes even if it wasn’t for the peak performance [1.1.5.2] [HC] The Immortal Army - Pet Dervish - Beginner Friendly Pet build! Super fast MC farmer!
*stuff is a bit changed these days as patches altered some items (conduit converts to fire now instead of +1 summon, so doens’t work the same on acid version)

other stuff can be pyran/blightlord shieldbreaker, cyclone elementalist, light’s defender elementalist
various piecemeal options for custom immortal pet memes, bleed pet dervish blood knight also doable

Dervish fire guardian and blade spirit certainly doable

This thread also has many builds that center around player-scaled pets.

In my experience, those that focus on blade spirit are the most successful.

If you don’t mind recasting them, there are really strong builds around storm totem and mortar trap
