Drop and Go?

[Nector]

I’ve spent a long time messing with a BWC build. I’ve found that I prefer a “drop and go” play style such as a transmuted DEE or spamming BWC. I’ve been staring at GT for a little too long trying to think of other skills like that, but haven’t had any success, which brings me to my questions:

What are some other skills like DEE and BWC, and what is the most efficient DEE build?

[1.1.9.4] Walking Wasteland - poison Aegis/DEE Sentinel [SR 90] [All Celestials] [50 sec Crate kill]

[poisonknight] Why yes, I am quite toxic. GT Link [tolliastats] Stats with permabuffs only, DPS for Biting Blades I’ve wanted to make a Aegis of Menhir build for a while, 'cause I mean, shield throwing is great. Fire Aegis has been done a lot in the past though, as has chaos Aegis with Voidsoul. So I went for acid/poison Aegis, which is something I haven’t seen as much of. This particular build was essentially ena…

[1.1.9.6] Forcewace Trauma Witchblade: All Celestials + SR90 - 1 million damage internal trauma crits

This is the followup to my Solo Soldier build. While many other class combos can complement the concept, I thought Witchblade was the most fitting because of the the minimal investment on the Occultist side and the range on Curse of Frailty. If you’re looking for a hard-hitting DoT build able to easily take down the hardest bosses in the game, this build is for you.

[1.1.9.6] Dog in the vineyard - GV Archon - No greens [CR+] [SR 80+]

Hello everybody, I’ve been sitting on this build for a bit now. I love it, but It was always lacking a bit of punch. With 1.1.9.5 it got good enough to share, and with 1.1.9.6 it got good enough to compete with the top dogs.

Are turret build (Storm Totem / Mortar Trap) drop and go for you?
And (DoT) Shadow Strike? You drop yourself, then take yourself and go.

@Nector

What are some other skills like DEE and BWC,

Perhaps Devastation? And Apocalypse for amulet. Check out various Devastation builds:

• Topics tagged devastation

• Builds using Devastation skill - Grim Dawn Builds

Also Grasping Vines / Sigil but those you may need to stack in multiples on top of each other
Might be rather drop, drop, drop and go.

---

Runes - of Hagarrad / of Kalastor can be consider drop and go.

---

One shot with some strong Bone Harvest and go?

---

Ravenous Earth can totally be drop and go. Balls come out of a hole in the ground for some time:

Another DoT build for your list

[1.1.9.6] Captain Dreeg - Voidsoul AoM poison DoT Sentinel [] [SR 80+]

Inspired by @Crab_Turtle_2112 's paradigm-shifting Internal trauma build that shows you don’t need multiple sources to make a successful DoT build if your one hit is big enough, I decided to seek other ways to kill super bosses in less than 10 hits. This is my most successful attempt so far. This is not a build guide, just a showcase [20220729195858_1] [20220729195903_1] [20220728210239_1] (Those are DoTs) GRIMTOOLS

Gear and Devotions

The build revolves around the Voidsoul set. Or rather…

[Gnomish_Inquisition]

depends if you mean true DoT specifically, or just any dmg skill that “lingers”

Sigil of Consumption lingers too
Thermite mines
Grasping Vines
Volcanic Stride
Ravenous Earth
Inquisitor’s Seal
*the strength and duration of these skills ofc vary, but like BWC they leave an aoe linger effect on the ground

as for true DoT skills there’s quite a lot, again with varying duration and strength
(cd) Blade Arc and (cd) Forcewave are kinda famous for that
Judgment
(cd) Primal Strike
Shadow Strike for poison or frostburn
(cd) Callidor with burn from 2nd node Inferno
Olexra’s Flash Freeze with Absolute Zero (OFF does not work on bosses or any freeze immune type monster, it does a freeze check first and deals 0 dmg on freeze resist higher than 100)
Trozan with frozen core
Cannister bomb and Grenado
Rune of Hagarrand with Chillsurge
*the strength and duration of these skills’ true dot ofc vary,

pseudo dots “curses” you have
Bloody Pox,
Word of Pain
Siphon Souls (also has true dot on 2nd node)
Ill Omen
Devouring Swarm
*the strength and duration of these skills ofc vary,

**probably forgot a couple
