DW Oppressor, Hybrid-Retal+DW Questions

Hello Guys, i have some questions about a build i planned last week (leveling it atm, but i like to level it as the build I will have in the end… I died 2 times and had to start over… Midgame damage is terrible low)

Link to said build: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/4NOv7r4Z

My intention was to build a physical character first (coz i never played one), and then was thinking about adding retal damage to the mix. In the end I came up with this guy, but i worry its a waste of time (Have all items in the link above except boots and gloves… have some substitutes till I have them, thinking about the Krieg set bloves, boots and shoudlers as long as i have miss boots and gloves)

  • the new superboss physical helmet is better, but i can’t kill him, so i wont use him here.

The build has a maximum of -142 phys res. (doesn’t matter if I have not enough damage to hit through enemies armor I guess?)
I wanted to have a tanky character, with a lot of armor and i liked the Stoneguard set a lot. (I don’t like shields, so I had to try it on a DW build :D)
In addition i wanted a bit of ADCtH.

Long story short… do u guys think this guy can work? Midgame damage (Elite/Ultimate at lvl 60 is terrible… mainly coz I have no weapons for this guy… and it was hard to level it, now I wanna have some opinions if it is worth to level one)

thanks :smiley:

Have you looked at my thread here? http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=82990 it might give you some ideas

With the way damage scales you can either do a retal based char or a weapon damage based char. Doing a hybrid isn’t likely to get you very far.
