Not sure if its me but the Devotion tree doesn’t show on either of the Grim Calc posted. Both show you have 50 points to spend but everything is empty.
Just thought I’d let you know as it’s a guild. Nice to get back to basics and play a sword and shield class. Everything seems to revolve around 2h these days or something involving Sorceress. Gets boring after a while. Thxs for the guild.
Should be fine now
TY
Many thxs. Thought some one should let you know m8. I was near to yours.
Yeah I was notified by PM and saw your post in this thread
Pretty strange error though
First of all, i want to thank you Chthon for this build guide.
This build is very dynamic and fun to play, well balanced between tankiness and damage dealing.
Nevertheless, i encounter so much difficulties in finding good leggit stonehide exalted treads and Dreeg-Sect Legguards that i’ve tried to make different choice of equipment.
Today i’m proposing you a little different gear and skill point allocation (not necessarily better, but with other advantages).
– Overall look :
Changes :
And then, allocation point is a bit different. This is what it gives for the soldier’s tree :
Though, “aspect of the guardian” in the occultist tree to max poison/acid resist must be put at 6.
Blitz used with deadly momentum is very usefull
Just one change in the devotion : i’ve prefered the last point of the Dying god
and remove the last of the spear of heavens. Little gain of damage.
So what is the result : with deadly momentum and mindwarp proc + blood of Dreeg :
With deadly momentum, mindwarp proc, Fighting spirit + blood of Dreeg :
Not so bad 
This character is a strong farmer of the end game in the main campain, and he can facetank without too much difficulties nemeses, bosses. I haven’t already tried to kill MQ, or Bourbon’s clone. But at the moment no difficulty with the other, this WB has strong damages and good tanking abilities.
Finally, it is also viable to farm crucible till Challenger … Haven’t tried in Gladiator at the moment.
One more time, thank you Chthon for this guide … i was trying to grow a mindwarp Battlemage, but it was so boring. This build is just good
Can’t update the main thread with anymore images so I hotlinked your post to the main thread’s item section
This would help a lot of new players
Thanks for taking the time out and doing this
Build updated
-Haunted Steel removed
-OA and DA increase
-DPS increase
-HP increase
-A small change in skill distribution
Special thanks to Kolonel whose setup gave me this idea
A bad-ass screen added to the build page
again is grimcalc bugged or something?. you seem to be missing 3 skill points after all the items are equipped…
btw… thanks for updating this build! 
Has to be
Setup is based on the screen i took
Your Welcome:D
You’re welcome, and this character is very fun to play
I have improved my toon yersterday with a Siegebreaker shield, a little lost of DA, but another gain in damage and OA. With Chain of Oleron on the chest, OA is at 3100 under Fighting spirit now.
not only fun but it also looks classy and fits the bill to be rightfully called a witchblade:cool:
based on my own personal testings this build destroys nemesis including iron maiden with zero to very little issues… granted u have the gear required… not record breaking like some breakers out there:rolleyes:
madqueen requires some kiting though but only very minimal… I am using Lord Chthon’s setup but with Oleron attached to suit… Best scenario with all procs on could shoot your DPS to 74k … OA 3100ish… again… not record breaking but impressive nonetheless…
Havent tested glad but I will very soon… I rate this build a solid 4/5… Survivability and Damage output is well balanced. Highly recommended!
Awesome
Thanks for your setup
Means a lot to me
Thanks
Also, I never try MQ w/o MoD cause of potential damage spikes, but i never tried her with Aether
Okay I just realized that besides 1 or 2 builds that have been posted by me none of them ever kill The Sentinel on any difficulty
So basically for most of the builds here you should have more skill points than I do and your setup should have access to more stuff
I will update the Calc based on my setup (maxed War Cry)
Special thanks to PrinceXavier who pointed out this anamoly
I keep forgetting The Sentinel run rewards 1 skill point, it’s too long a walk for my taste though
Hi,
may I ask about this old build? I would like try chaos cadence WB but cant find some good build. I have now 2-h chaos blade arc WB with Obsidian Juggernaut but its not good against single targets like Nemesis or many bosses.
Shield is Siegebreaker, Rings (1 is Entropic Coil, the other is MI), Main Hand - Master’s Spellblade or Fang of Chthon, Belt is same and Relic is Oleron. Devotion is basic chaos based setup no biggie.
That’s the basic
Blade Arc sucks vs single target, Obsidian Juggernaut for 2h melee suits Cadence more than BA.
So… basically a solidly built Sab, without every proc going off?
Mine does 82k, at 2500ish OA, when everything goes off, and he’s as attached to his Tinker’s as Sheepster is.
You sure you aren’t in the wrong thread?
Just sayin’, it is a decent build, nothing groundbreaking…
Y’know - agreeing with him. 
Quick question, how would one go about converting this into a DW build?
It’ll surely be unoptimal, but it seems fun and as I recently found a Mindwarp, figured I’d check it out.
I’ve tried DW aether with several characters except WB xD but after this build i rerolled my WB to try this out and again also tried DW after shield setup.
Without Shield it is no where near as tanky but you can use pretty much the same setup and gear. Either Blademaster’s Talisman or Direwolf Crest but i’d rather use Relic for it.
For weapons you can use whatever you have. Can craft a lot of Master’s Spellblade if you have resources and with luck you can get a decent one. Or farm the shit out of Thalonis and Warden (or Crucible) for their MI weapons which both fit for this setup especially if you can drop useful prefix/suffix etc etc.
