Help with build (more theory than specific)

Grim Dawn Classes, Skills and Builds
1

Hello all,

Please see the build in question.

Long story short, I tried to get to high lvl before but my build idea had flaws, and I’m trying to fix them this time around. Anything I’ve added is 100% open for debate (and probably not optimized), and I’m not hard for anything here.

Two biggest questions:

1a) Do I have enough OA / DA? This was my biggest problem last time (DA most so), and I want to fix it. There are a few Oathbreaker skills that add to OA and DA, so the numbers listed will increase.
1B) How do I add more OA / DA without fundamentally changing the idea for the char? Even with the OA / DA modifying skills, I’d like a little more, especially OA

  1. Are my devotions OK? I figure I have some possibilities: a) witchblade and blade with as much blue as I can muster, b) witchblade and blade with as much left side as I can muster, c) lose either and/or both of witch blade and blade and hyper focus something like blue/white, d) aim for specific targets e.g. increase health, increase OA / DA, increase damage, more ret, etc.

Thanks in advance for any help, comments/critiques welcome but please no flaming.

Edit: forgot to add, pierce resistance is low as I have blade barricade to compensate. Good/bad idea?

I think you face the problem almost every Warlord faces: You don’t have enough skill-points to take everything you want. Either max AoM or drop it, and you don’t need War Cry when you have shattering smash
