[Challenge] The Ultos Throwdown

Ultos may have been a fat nerd, but his set has been loved by many a player since the start of Grim Dawn. Plus we’ve been arguing in reddit and discord channels about what class makes the best Ultos. As we are on the backside of development and I don’t expect there to be major changes to this set or supporting items, it’s finally time.

For

THE ULTOS THROWDOWN

3 categories will be judged to determine the Mightiest Ultos!

  • Fastest Galdiator Crucible 150-170 run
  • Deepest Successful Ultimate SR Clear
  • Fastest Ultimate SR75-76 Clear

Rules:

  • Full Ultos set must be used. i.e. all 5 pieces including weapon

  • Runs must be recorded. Apologies if you have a potato but video timestamps will be used, not B(anana) time for CR. For Deepest SR, video should include final 3 shards and boss room.

  • No drugs, health and energy potions only

  • Contest will run until March 31st at 11:59pm PST

Won’t be joining cause I’m busy but hope this gets a lot of traction. Bonus points if the winner is savagery conjurer lmao.

Would you say the savagery or the conjurer part is more unexpected?

Kicking this off with conjurer! No weave though

If it has the full set being used, go for it!

Sadly it will be only a meme build and at most clear SR75-76 :frowning:

Both have been done in the past but for max performance it’s always primal strike non conjurer especially on very high shards.
