Preface:
I have lurked here for a long time, but this is my first post so hopefully I do this right.

This is my first time working out a build mostly on my own. It’s my fourth Grim Dawn character.
My other three characters were based from builds posted here that I lightly modified to fit gear I had.

This build was inspired by StupidFatHobbit’s build but the gear is almost all changed to I hope maximize
RE damage. His build was mainly geared toward HC, which I do not play. I basically got the Leafmane Horn as a drop and felt that was lucky so I wanted to try to make a build around it.

Some explanations of my choices:

  • I wanted to get 26/16 RE, it seems the best way is to use Serenity relic, but I don’t have the recipe for that yet.

  • Although RE is already converted, I wanted to get full vit to acid conversion mainly to boost Siphon Souls and Bat to make them more effective.

  • I used Pandemic over Bonespike because I don’t even have a Bonespike with acid damage on it. I’m open to suggestion if the +2 duration over the base damage of Pandemic makes it worth to farm one.

  • I used Seal’s of Might strictly for the defensive boosts. If I get the Serenity relic, I could readjust my augments to cover those resists and use more damaging components there.

  • I know a lot of greens aren’t what people usually post here, but all of these greens are items I have from
    farming on my other characters.

I’m hoping to get some advice and criticism here from more experienced players before I invest my time into this build. Thank you.

I may test my ideas to see if they’re good. But I am huge fan of Dark one set. You can use it here!

Can’t see devotions now but there are two routes, one is classical proc based, with Abomination and Yugol. Second is with Aeon for permanent Ascension.

Relic, Serenity isn’t recommend here. Best is perhaps Meditation. Monster % damage.

@Nery dropped Solemn Watcher and Behemoth to squeeze in Yugol.
Does this Devotion Tree look better?

Dark One set is nice and I do have it but it feels like I’d lose a ton of base damage to RE if I drop the helmet and gloves.

I also moved a point to Rebuke as @DEFO suggested.

You could try 2 x Dreeg set (chest, shoulder) + Murmur’s Kiss belt + Aetherfire attached to RE semi-spam. It could look something like this: RE Aetherfire variant

Even with your current amulet conversion conflict (Venomfire), you’d still see 80% fire convert an 50% aether convert…and RE should in theory drop these things quite often. I’ve not personally tested this, though.
