Hey Guys. I am trying out Akdong`s build since he also added build paths and all it was really helpful to get into it during levelling. I am open to change to 2h or i can stay DW but i would like to definitely stay ranged purifier.
I have finished Elite and i dont know what to do before moving to ultimate. Should i farm legendaries, craft some relics/gear or should i try to get into ultimate.
It might be a bad idea to move right away because from time to time i get one shotted/instantly killed if i stay immobile for a while. I am sharing my character link any tips appriciated for moving on.

what is Akdong’s build?
I guess he means this build judging by the fact that he commented the same stuff in that thread.
Having a quick look at the build i can say the following:
- resistances: Most of your resistances are abysmaly low. Try getting them as close to or above cap (80%) by looking for items with resistances and adding components and augments. Resistances are VERY important in GD.
- stats: Armor, defensive ability and offensive ability are relatively low. You can fix those with items, flame touched and word of renewal.
- items: As I said look for stuff with resistances and good stats. Think about trading damage for stats (even if an item isn’t the right damage type +400 armor or equivalent might be worth for a while) cause you can’t deal damage when you get oneshot anyway right?
- skills: Max demo and get brimstone asap. It works wonders with inq wps. Work on leveling WoR and seal for defense. Spend at least one point in blastshield and flashbang for more defense.
- devotions: Seems fine’ish although consider getting ghoul for def. And i’d change bindings as in akdong’s build for better proccing
hope i could help
I’d definitely just move to ultimate, but that’s me - i’ve never been caring about dying.
Since u’re a newbie i don’t know which relic reciepes do you have, so i can’t really suggest anything. But if u have a reciepe for a better relic than u’re currently wearing you should definitely craft it.

Overcapping FS and ES is not very rewarding, Flame Touched is a must-have.
Keep storm spread at 7/10 - weapon damage component is not increasing at all, but at 7/10 you have extra projectile - good for shotgun effect.
Better invest 1 point into BWC and transmuter just for proccing some devotion. Flame torrent for instance. Thermite mines are also very good at proccing. I’d bind elemental storm to them.
I highly recommend to take ghoul and 4-5 nodes of Revenant asap
If you have sanctified bone component (you should have it, it’s not rare), insert it either into the chest or helm, or both

I guess this thread is a good read for a beginner http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=74454 (taken from the beginner build section from the compendium)
Binding devos with a purifier is a long debate. I just wanna say that this advice is arguable (not wrong).
In general with fire builds you want your rr to proc asap. Binding Elemental Storm to the mines might result in as long as 5-6s of delay between throwing the mines and the Storm proccing (it takes ages for the mines to activate and then they only got 1 tick per second). Storm is best bound, imo, to Storm Spread. With capped attack speed it procs once per 1-1.5s on the average and with four projectiles it almost always procs the Storm.
BwC is better but its 5s of cooldown is long. Even at softcap (12/12) it’s sometimes hard to keep it on at all times (especially when you move around a lot). And at one point both its duration and radius are small. If you just want a two-pointer to proc stuff, Box+Tether is way better (also, dmg reduction on BwC doesn’t stack with Censure so there’s that).
Yeah, i completely forgot about the box, it’s definitely better. What about Inq Seal? How frequently does it attack?
Seal ticks like BwC and most such skills (WoP, CoF, etc.). But it’s still better than BwC and mines, imo, because it’s always there. Box is better because Tether ticks 3 times per second which gives you 4 ticks on single target including 1 in AoE - everything procs momentarily. But problem is with targeting and mobs dying off too quickly.
Thus, like I said above, the debate…
Hey, thanks for great information. One thing tho i cannot get Glacier Recipe atm from Hyram. Can anyone craft it for me ?
This is my id.
I don’t think Hyram can sell Glacier
Late at night Glacier Dropped now i need the “Inferno” one. It seems it is a random drop too. gotta try more
