Need help with Mortar trap focused build

Grim Dawn Classes, Skills and Builds

I don’t even think it´s time yet, cause this skill is still under performing since launch.
But I like the style so I wanna do it right now.
What should I not miss? Basically it´s Physical and Fire damage
Where do I can get the better from these two damage types? Meteor shower is one, maybe Fissure

I don’t even know how to start, honestly xD

I’ve done an Elementalist build using Mortar/Storm Totem that focused more on Lightning Damage and then a bit of Fire/Physical.

Quick theory craft with some differences to my build.

I prefer to convert as much physical damage to elemental on the main skill.

Personally I think Elementalist or Sorceror/Sorceress is the way to go.

  • Mortar Trap was used as a filler until my other big nukes were ready. I got rid of the 26/16 as having 3 just wasn’t doing me any favours.

  • Mortar Trap is a big part of this build but my clear speed still felt terrible.

Don’t expect big numbers. There’s always things you can change with the main skill but it’s still not going to hit super-hard.

That physical commando looks pretty interesting. Mayby i will try that one. Already did one sorcerer but that felt really lackluster.
