Melee Vitality Cabalist?

Hello bois,

so I want to go for a melee Cabalist but I could not find 1 buld in the Build Compendium IX, all I found are Casters. So is it not good supported? Does it just SUCK ? I mean you could maybe use Shard of Beronath as default attack maybe? Would be nice if someone could link me a grimtools for a Melee Vitality Cabalist.

I found these three in the build compendium IX

Wait where did you find them? All I see are casters & Pet builds. Thanks tho

Well, the first one (the DW one) is focused on acid, I saw that one but this one http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67662 looks pretty good even tho its really old. A “pure vitality default attack” does not exist right? So Fleshwarped Strikes is like the best choice?

You can build melee Cabalist, but Ritualist and Conjurer would outperform it. https://www.grimtools.com/calc/DV9q3XPV

You convert the aether to vitality from the Fleshwarped strikes. You can go with shard of beronath too if you dont have a good Fleshwarped wpn.

You can probably make a decent Vit melee Cabalist if you have unlimited access to items.

Thanks, well I did play Shaman to often and I cant stand Totems… I hate em. But the overcapt RR from Devouring Swarm is insane for a Vitality build. I am just really wondering which default attack would fit the best for an Melee Vitality build.

Savagery ofc. =)

I dont really, but Necro & Occulist are my favorite Classes so I wanted to make em work together. Thanks

And with the next expansion, you can buy this as a faction blueprint!

Vitality Savagery!

Can you explain why? I mean it has no +Vitality% or flat Vitality damage. Because of the OA, DA, Attack speed etc. you get?

Yes basically, plus there are items with elemental > vitality dmg conversion.

Also, the stacks will enhance the WPS like Reaping Strike with corresponding magnitude as the current stack

And, that in the next expansion you have the item I posted above :wink:

HOLY SHIIIIT! Thanks for that! I will go for an Ritualist 100% then. Thanks

this item is better. But farming them is a torture =(

1 More question, can Reaping Strike & Necrotic Edge activate with Savagery? I would skill it something like that then

I was planning on using one of those together with that new faction weapon actually. Perhaps if I ever want to run the Malmouth councils again and drop another one I’ll consider it :stuck_out_tongue: But my plan was to make something with that faction weapon for starters.

Yes, Savagery is a default attack replacer that is why it was suggested. Read the skill tooltip.

Skills looks good, but with more +skills you really want Wendigo totem - Blood pact for the extra damage.

Aight thanks, yea I think Wendigo Totem and Blood pact would also fit in with the + Skills you get. Thanks for everything

Just a sketch. Faction items and farmable pants. Almost no augments, compoments and no roll on the yellow & green items (apart from attack speed on gloves)

Should give you an idea at least https://www.grimtools.com/calc/1NXgQzLZ

Note that we can get Reaping Strike to max with just basic crap items
