I started playing Grim Dawn again since 1 month ago (did not played the game for years). I started a complete new character, from scratch. I decided to follow a specific build, so I went through thousands of builds. For several reasons (not only the pretty explanation from Maya in the first post), I decided to follow this build EXACTLY as MAYA proposed.
After 1 month (where I basically completed the game in all difficulties and gathered all items, and so on), I can tell you that this build is INSANELY GREAT.
Iâve seen many people critizing the build just because was not matching their âknow howâ of the game, but I believe no one even tried it 100%.
Of course I have some suggestions for the build (or maybe questions, probably any of you guys know a lot more than me on how everything works in the game), but just following this I was able to complete all quests and kill all bosses without even trying.
I will admit, I have been giving a bit too much love to Moggy Puppies as of late. But I couldnât totally abandon Ishtak or that weird Tree. SoâŚ
Updates across the board (not really). Some changes to the main build (you probably wonât notice it).
And a major update to the Budget Version. It can now do Crucible utpo wave 150
It still falls a minute or 2 short of being able to do it twice with the same round of blessings though
But yours should do fine even without changes (watch out for those plants with acid/poison attacks though). Just, one thing. Why the Life Leech resistance on the Relic? If it wasnât by choice, then sure. But we have no use for it since we arenât tanking anything. That could be instead changed to say⌠12% Chaos res. for eg.
Mythical Chausses of Barbaros could work or any good green pants.
With Spiritbinder rings, you canât get max Familiars and capping resistances would be a bit of a problem. But I used to use them in earlier versions of the build and they are certainly viable.

No potions, tonics or other consumables used as always. Took about 16 mins. Pretty easy
Will update the OP with the rest of the stuff like Ravager and all that later.
Will you also update the alternate version? I would love to see some new approach on the alternate version with the tips you provided to me (other pants or augments for example).
You are going to have to be a bit more specific. See, the only requirements to this build are Ishtak devotion and Mythical Beastcallerâs set. That leaves alot of possible combinations. For pants, just make sure to cover your resistances and any will do.
EDIT: Also updated the build. Saw that I could softcap âGround Slamâ, thought to myself âWhy not?â, did it.
Crucible timings remain pretty much the same without Blessings/Banner.
This build man is really good, I am just thinking if it will be possible to simply update this with all new FG items. I hope so, since I love petâs based builds, and the balance in this one is impressive.

No potions/consumables used. Took about 8 mins. No risk of death unless you just stand there and let him hug you for a few seconds.

No potions/consumables used. Took about 15 mins. Pretty easy, even though it took kind of long. Just take care to not bore yourself to death
Good question. I havenât tried it out, but have my reservations regarding whether the OA/DA bonus to pets is worth losing +1 to all skills. Plus you also lose the Stun and Chaos res from Catâs Eye.
Wyrmclaw would be one of my absolute last choices for an off-hand on a pet build. Pet builds end up with tons of OA and Crit damage without trying, there are few serious sources of pet fire damage, and pet DA is irrelevant.
Anything with + all/shaman/occultist skills is better, anything with bonus to specific useful skills is better, the Black Grimoire is better, a Bound Wraith with any affix whatsoever is better, Bloodsworn Codex is probably better, most shields are more useful for pet builds than Wyrmclaw.
Cataclysmâs Eye is the BiS off-hand for most pet builds that arenât using with Witching Hour. A really good Bound Wraith can be conditionally better, but even that is often questionable.
