Primal Blight pet ritualist

Descripition: poison/acid build that combines the Ghol´s Malice set with gear that highly decrease Conjure Primal Spirit’s Recharge. Decent damage, durable character and my best score in Crucible until now.

Important Gear:

-Ghol’s Malice set: two permanent blight fiends and a very nice RR that does not require any adicional buttons to be pressed

-Necrolords Gaze, Bound Whraith an Mythical Will of Bysmiel: reduce Primal Spirit’s recharge to 22.9 seconds and make it live for 24.

-Bysmiel’s Domination: I always use this relic.

-Mythical Yughol’s Ichor (2X): high poison/acid damage boost and nice bonus to the blight beast skills.

Active Skills

-Summon Blight Fiend, Summon Briarthorn, Summon Eldritc Talon, Ill Omen, Wendigo Totem

-Toggle Skills: Mogdrogen’s Pact, Primal Bond an Presence of Virtue (2X)

Relevant devotion Skills: Dryad’s Blessing (Ill Omen), Rumor (Blight Fiend), Nature’s Guardians, Turtle Shell

Strategy: use devotion and gear for RR, Wendigo Totem to keep pets alive, Ill Omen to weaken enemies and activate Dryad’s Blessing.

Performance:

First, about the damage. It is pretty hight for a defensive build. I tested on ultimate difficulty dummies and took around 34 seconds to destroy each of them. Also, Crucible 1-169 was very fast to clean, so much that I did not stop at 150 to came back later as I usually do. I was worried about the high cooldowns, but the enemies died so fast that it was not a problem. Also, I did never see nemesis enemies die so quickly, and I only lost the time bonus in the last wave. From 1 to 169, lost only two blight beasts, as they heal quickly near the wendigo totem.

Thank you for reading!

why not using swarm? :thinking: - ghol is turning it into Acid RR for you

Too risky.

risky?

Specially against physical damage and internal trauma.

what do you mean??
what makes swarm risky?

Are you talking about Primal Instinct (Swarm Mind)? It would replace Bysmiel’s Domination.

i mean Devouring Swarm skill in shaman, ghol set adds -20 poison RR to the skill to be used as RR

Ok. I already have 68% poison/acid RR. And I dont like Devouring Swarm’s area of effect.
