I’m a new player and have just started the late game contents. I built an lightning archon eor but not really satisfy with it so I plan to change to vit. I tried to make one by collecting from uncompleted or similar builds and this is mine:

I tried pushing res up but it’s still pretty low, same with attack speed and DA (and maybe some other stats). I thought that maybe I was wrong from item or devotion building but I dont know how to change that.
Does somebody have any vit archon eor build? Or please give me some advices!
Thanks!
I think you did a pretty good job but we can optimize it further. Check this out.
I’ve tried to change your build without as few item swaps as possible:

[OLD, going for Bat + Ghoul] https://www.grimtools.com/calc/mN4OoO5Z
[OLD, going for full Blood Knight] https://www.grimtools.com/calc/D2prMPaZ
[OLD, swapped ring] https://www.grimtools.com/calc/lV7Oj0yV
[OLD, forgot pets don’t proc Wendigo] https://www.grimtools.com/calc/q2mA8XG2
-
AS from 135% to 178% (even more when Ghoul is active)
-
%Vitality from 2960 to 3410
-
DA from 2235 / 2409 to 2715 / 2920
-
Stun Res from 30% to 62% when Ascension is not active
I put Arcane Spark in medal because we’ll probably need this for more Energy with more AS.
[edit] Wait I forgot to put all Spirit into Physique! You shouldn’t need it at all. This got me ~80 more DA on top.

thank you very much!
One more question, should I change rotgheist amulet with blood knight just to take blood knight’s granted skill?
I don’t know tbh. We would have annoying 25/26 EoR then 
and Bleeding resists would suffer. I think it’s fine as is 
4p bonus doesn’t benefit you as much as it would Oppressor
My opinion: Switch the bindings for Bat Fangs and Rattosh.
@Nora I forgot that Wendigo cannot be procced by Guardians and Totems because of weird mechanics
(so-called Grim Dawn Mechanics Betrayals) and in my devotion is kinda hard to proc these devos with these pests
so I’m getting rid of Wendigo in favour of Ghoul. The previous Devo was good on paper but very hard to proc on practice.
Ghoul will be good because it will boost our attack speed even further at times and boost Phys Res.
I’ll update my previous post.

@klasperstanze Yeah, I put EoR on Rattosh too.
@tqFan why dont use Bat instead. Ghoul have a pretty long cool down and need certain condition to proc. Rattosh proc on attack so linking it with guardian or totem will be fine, and link EoR to Bat or Wendigo to gain life steal and dmg. I’m not sure if it work but this is my idea. How do you think?
Personally I’d still use Ghoul because we have over 30% cooldown in this build
so it’s cooldown goes to 20s which is great for such an awesome skill
(huge temporary Phys Res, ACDTH and attack speed, immortality basically).
You may not even need healing from Bat
But if you insists you can use Bat for surer instead of Ghoul . Bat can be procced by pets in contrast to Wendigo so I wouldn’t bind it to EoR just to Guardians. Imo not having Rattosh on EoR will be very noticeable not only to your damage (it’s hard to proc and to multiple enemies, EoR is great for that) but also defense, because Rattosh lowers Enemies Life Resistance Reduction which boosts leeching tremendously
Btw I’m making another update because there’s a great ring I’d like to use.
@Nora https://www.grimtools.com/calc/D2prMPaZ
(using a great Ring with Total speed and Melee Attack Avoidance on enemies Death)
@Nora Since this ring with Total Speed and Melee Avoid gave +2 EoR
I decided to go full Blood Knight for -15% Vitality Res, Cooldown and ACDTH on this pet Attack because we can cap EoR anyway:
https://www.grimtools.com/calc/mN4OoO5Z
Cooldown is great for Ascension / Ghoul uptime.
Btw if you wanted even more DA for some reasons, going for more Irrah’s augments on rings/necklace would be ok I think.
@tqFan so with that ring and full blood knight I can get more AS but not losing any dmg from it.
About rattosh I think guardian still good because it have multi attack (5 units) and we can summon 2 of them, they have fine attack speed too. I’m not sure if it work, I still dont have enough gears to test it out, can you try it?
If you’d like Bat on EoR, Guardians on Rattosh, then go for it.
On Bosses it will be fine and provide perma Rattosh. Bat on EoR is very good too.
Ghoul + EoR on Rattosh is just my preference.
You may test it with GDStash (i.e. copy save, GDStash gera, test it and then delete)
Sorry, I don’t want to test it at the moment.
@Nora How about this, we don’t have to choose between Bat and Ghoul. Let’s have them both
https://www.grimtools.com/calc/a2EEKEP2
(sorry, changed this link 3 times now, optimizing augments)
nice guide! Thank you very much! Despite not having enough gears at this moment, I think it’s still better than my 2h archon build
