Creamy Fwuffy - Traumatized Warlord

[Maya]

I wanted to make this build lazier and turn it into a “pet” build…
So, I did

[Maya]

Build updated because I wanted it to be even more lazier and tankier :3
Can now be played using just the mouse buttons (you still should evade superboss sunders )

[lichking99]

Thanks for your lazy build.

Do you have any idea lazy 1 button build for Battle mage using Spellscoure devastation?

@lichking99

Do you have any idea lazy 1 button build for Battle mage using Spellscoure devastation?

I haven’t really played around with Arcanist much, but I assume the basic idea would be more or less the same. So, something like this perhaps - Battlemage, Level 100 (GD 1.2.0.3) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator

Do note that the damage is most definitely going to be sub par on that

[lichking99]

What a blast!!!
Will try this soon. Thanks Maya

I dont quite understand the Default weapon proc skills, what are you doing to proc them (of course Forcewave cannot)?

[Gnomish_Inquisition]

regular auto attacks while forcewave is on cooldown
when FW is on LMB, and you keep holding down the button it will do normal attacks inbetween, those can still trigger the wps

What Gnuffi said

[lichking99]

The result after the test of your great builds:
IMO Witchblade > Warlord > BattleMage

Thank you Maya.

@lichking99

IMO Witchblade > Warlord > BattleMage

Feel the same way personally as well :3

Maya i have a question.

I found 1 gargabol ring with Supermancy on it.
-8% rr from combusting band vs +2 lv on forcewave. Which one is better?

hm… would need to test to be 100% sure, but I would say that a well rolled Gargabol ring should have an edge since even though combusting band has RR, it has a low proc chance and is only 8%.

I mostly avoid using greens to remove any uncertainty from random affixes.

[lichking99]

I tested… Lose the bonus from Octa set ruined my character the ability to tank Cal.

Thank you Maya for always answer me

Thank you Maya for always answer me

Why would changing ring make you lose octa set bonus?

But yeah, the 3piece set bonus giving physical res is rather important for cally facetank

[lichking99]

Im sorry for typing…

I have changed the mask instead of a ring for testing. Then i want to let you know a result after changed a head gear.

Btw gargabol ring work kinda good. But i have to find a good one with Supermancy on it is pain…

[Maya]

Build works pretty much the same for 1.2.1.1 patch with no changes

Hello Maya. Searching for lazy build on Google and this came up, just what I need, as with all the builds I played never had one with retaliation build.

For leveling, do you go Solider all the way up (using the guide you have) then re-spec towards the end with Oathkeeper? or go to Oathkeeper for the Presence of Virtue at some point and mixing in other Oathkeeper skills? Thanks.

[Gnomish_Inquisition]

do both, it’s faster to combine warlord earlier than at end, simply because more dmg but also 2 movement skills in class = travelling faster

some examples you can choose from for levelling before transitioning at end

[1.1.8.0] Budget physical Forcewave Warlord

Introduction The Warlord (soldier, oathkeeper) is quite a versatile class, with several quite different endgame options, e.g. retaliation, spinner or shield (see Build Compendium X (Forgotten Gods)). There is currently already one levelling guide / budget build for this specific class in the compedium (Blitz Krieg - A SSF, HC-Viable, New-Player-Friendly Warlord). The warlord build presented here also uses a soldier skill (Forcewave) as main damage skill. Oathkeeper is here only as support class…

Blitz Krieg - A SSF, HC-Viable, New-Player-Friendly Warlord

Tired of planting seeds in Path of Farmville? Love smashing your face into enemies to kill them? Taking a gander at Grim Dawn and looking for build guides for new players? Look no further! Do note that this is only a build guide. While I will be detailing how and where to farm particular enemies that drop particular things for this build, I will not be going into specific mechanics of the game here as a comprehensive new-player guide would. This guide assumes you know how to navigate the game’s…

[1.1.9.0 - 1.1.9.1] Budget Physical Cadence S&B Warlord

Introduction After publishing my [1.1.9.0] Budget S&B Physical Battlemage, a rightful comment stated While in the case of Battlemage - because of the Spellsource set - I would slightly disagree, there is in fact a great synergy between the Soldier and Oathkeeper mastery for shield builds. The beginners section in the Build Compendium X (Forgotten Gods) and Beginner build guides Compendium (for AoM + FG expansions) have currently two beginner Warlords, a two-hand melee weapon Forcewave spammer …

Alright, I’ll take a look. Thank you!

Edit after 1h - for some reasons Solider never appealed to me, maybe because of the name or just never got into the shield aspect of the game. And after 1hr playing it with Forcewave, I knew I was right

It shouldn’t be called Solider, should just call it Mihawk (from One Piece).
Full 16/16 Forcewave is simply broken… and on top of that I have epic 2H axe Massacre that with +4 Forcewave, just cutting everything into pieces or sending them flying

Ideally putting points in Oathkeeper would make for an easier leveling experience.

I merely went with Soldier only leveling because I wanted something I could use for all combinations including soldier (like witchblade - soldier + occultist) for example, without needing a separate leveling section for each :3
