Cast and kite build?

Grim Dawn Classes, Skills and Builds
7

I have tried both Cabalist and conjurer bloody pox builds, and while Cabalist is a bit more fun and involved, it is leagues below conjurer in performance.

We sure do have some of those builds around :slight_smile:
That’s kinda my favorite playstyle too

Really good skills/builds to build around if you like fire-and-forget playstyle:

  • Bloody pox (you already have 2 good examples)
  • Grasping vines (Afanosenkov’s build linked here is very good, I personally play with a bit more health regen at the cost of a bit of power to really get the laidback playstyle)
  • The new Dreamwalker set is squarely on the money for what you describe, and it’s easy to build around. Try Defiler or Apostate before purifier)
  • I have this beauty of a build made with blackwater cocktail that I will post eventually
  • The black flame set makes sigil of consumption really powerful, and you only have to cast it twice.
  • If you build a ritualist around the Morgoneth set, boosting wind devil and ill omen, you’ll basically have nothing to do at all.
  • There are tons of cool builds that are completely passive in this thread: [1.3.0.0] The PASSIVIST - How to complete the game without using active skills
    Some get even better if you allow yourself to use a skill or 2
  • Speaking of which, the Demonslayer set kills things by itself.
  • As mentioned above, the Pyran set lends itself well to “drop some mortars and watch the world burn” playstyle… it even features health regen for extra laziness.
  • We couldn’t mention cast and kite without mentioning pet builds, so here’s a good starting point: The Carnival - A Guide to Pets
  • I’ve been messing with the new Eldrun set lately, and it’s right up my alley personally, but it seems like it would be yours too. Either as a conjurer or primalist (Here’s how I play it right now but you could go almost completely passive and focus mostly on wind devil and familiar by adding the Bysmiel set and a stormsurge pistol)
  • If you want to spam Wereraven the Eldrun set is also a nice place to be if you play it as a mystic. Big bird + small birds is kinda cool visually too :slight_smile:
  • The new Stormfang set, when played as a templar is basically alternating between judgment and devastation… so it’s 2 buttons, but always the same 2
  • The cyclone set is also pretty nice for that when played as an Archon. Summon your boosted wind devils, and hold right click to spin AND move … with a bit of tape on your mouse, it could be the laziest build ever! (don’t tape your mouse buttons)

Hope that helps! :slight_smile:
