Ravager made easy (tactics & vids)

Wonderful people, a gift for auto-attack lovers, especially DW : https://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showpost.php?p=733180&postcount=2

Normally, Auto-attack (AA) build should be like this : AA replacer + 1 Universal buff + WPS

But sometimes, for a dedicated setup , you can use 2x Universal buffs to get better killtime (I used both Deadly Momentum & Lethal Assault for my Belgo BM)

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

Thanks ! Your dedicated leveling-guides are wonderful, too …

It’s an exploit not a function:p

And should no longer be possible come next patch

For a long time, for a reason, if you say so …

Ah…okay. :wink:

Then I will wait till patch for Ravager of Souls.

That’s all I know about Ravager, hope this helps for everyone wanna do more things than Crucible, SR, and for leveling-guider , too !

If you want a real test of the single-target damage, you know where to go , besides Mogdrogen

Enjoy more diversity of the game : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1js6KpDeXtBu7O-4h9jq9MsMeSUQV1v5a

What do you think? Possible with this Set-up? https://www.grimtools.com/calc/RVv6QPpV

First, Bleeding damage is not friendly for effective ADCTH build, and make your Ghoul proc less effective

Weapons & Glove : no attack speed with not very high OA => your ADCTH will suffer a lot (specially no oils, no tinctures, no oiments)

I tried DW Bleeding BloodRager Trickster several times with more attack speed & OA, but Ghoul procs very weird (not instant healing like direct damage, very slow ADCTH), then I maxed Blood Pact for even more ADCTH source, but it did not help much .

All in all, to survive Phase 2 effectively and decent killtime, it should be direct damage

Because no one gave feedback on it. Aside from Ravager with stairs/ buildings etc., this specific hit box hasn’t come up before…afaik anyway. I haven’t seen it otherwise. If people knew about this and didn’t make an official feedback thread then Crate won’t know of it.

Personally, I only realized it with Callagadra because her spells are flashier. Also spent more time with her than Ravager.

I only gave this feedback when we first spoke about it. I also think some people preferred to consider it a mechanic and play like this, which further aided in the delayed fix

Yes, Finally someone else who likes to bully Ravager as much as I do :smiley:

These builds can only do one thing and one thing only and that’s one celestial either ravager or callagadra. They suck for everything else. I’d be impressed if a build can kill ravager/Callagadra and kill every other normal boss/nemesis. Not just a specific setup for one celestial. Because after you kill them and get their legendary item. The point of killing them EVER again is out the window. The only exclusion is Lokarr as he has two nemesis chests. So I usually just stick to farming him and all the other nemesis bosses. The hardest boss in this game is crate. But once you get his legendaries, bye bye. No more fighting him. And there’s no purpose in fighting him anymore after that.

Answer: Pets

Pets

or Shield builds can do it all : Crucible, SR, Celestials…

Update my Infiltrator

DW Cold - DeathMark Infiltrator - Ravager 2m9 : https://www.grimtools.com/calc/r2Bzjgj2

DW Fire, DW Cold, DW Acid, DW Pierce, DW Vitality , DW Chaos, and now …DW Aether joins the Ravager Family

My first DW Aether build on Ravager . Not much support from items , a weapon with 50% piercing converted to aether would be nice !

https://www.grimtools.com/calc/bVAzoDRZ

CDR , Circuit Breaker will make our Ravager Phase 2 like a breeze

Maybe , CDR will be a key to deal with Callagadra Phase 2 (w/o using ointments, tinctures, oils …)

Beside SpellBreaker, Acid Dervish with 12% CDR from Venom set , > 10% CDR from Path of the Three , and modifier CDR to Blade Barrier => ideal candidate , perhaps ?

DOT damage is not friendly for single-target , I’ve tried BloodRager set on Ravager several times, it took ages to move his HP bar, nearly impossible to ADCTH, but DW Bleeding is a sweet challenge, so i decided to give it another shot ! Finally, DW Bleeding joins the DW - Ravager family (Fire, Cold, Acid, Pierce, Vitality, Chaos, Aether).

8m55 (facetank & no greens, no tinctures, no oils, no ointments)

https://www.grimtools.com/calc/nZo4j0lN

My first build ignores Ghoul devotion so I must use Blade Barrier frequently, rare build DA > 3200 against Ravager, I must use Health Restored from Wendigo Totem (plus more 2% Health Modifier from Crimson Spike ) & Salvation relic to compensate Ultra-low ADCTH

Kiting casters can do it too without changing anything. I’ve done it with BWC and TSS druid builds. Seems like its mostly melee builds who get the shaft when it comes to superbosses.

You never get best killtime if you can’t facetank her, specially who wants <10min or even <7m. And even harder for who dont use rare greens, oils, ointments, tinctures

At last, DW Lightning
