Retaliation Warlord - 100% block

Do you know what shard you have to make it too to unlock all 3 skill points in SR?

25 i believe it was, 50 for all attributes!

Fuckberries. Pretty sure my Cold EoR Dervish wonā€™t make it to even SR25 (most likely cause I could use 2-4 times more ADcTH).:cry:

Canā€™t beat Gargabol (way too much crap flying everywhere on second stage), the ā€˜Krakenā€™ in Ugdenbog Swamp (couldnā€™t handle the constant shower of ice ā€˜meteorsā€™ once i got its HP down enough) and need to do Steps of torment cause I almost had Alkamos.

So nerfs are in. went from like 104k tooltip dps in town to like 89, lost 1% block. Basically, nerfs are largely insignificant.

Talking about the version of build posted few posts back.

@khaop: mate, you canā€™t convince everyone with logic and facts.

Thatā€™s alright, iā€™ll post a video later today assuming it works as i claim. I should start a new thread for the new build, but, maybe later, got my eyes on warlock chaos/vit black flame build atm.

Here is a video post-nerf for the updated build, until i maybe make its own thread it is hidden in here.

Video disclaimer:

This is me, testing the build unadjusted after nerf. This is my first time fighting on this character for what 1-2 weeks, i barely even remember controls. I just wanted stroll in there coz i promised video. As for the SR it was kinda mediocre, if i had better spawns could be faster as well as lacking grim internals could have speed it up also. I also didnā€™t get that hard bosses, but iā€™m not playing grim dawn atm not gonna redo till i get a nasty combo i just wanted show the power. Still, as it is, this is more than 1 legend/minute farming. Think final count was 15 in inventory after, canā€™t see all at the screen at the end, too much loot.

I can barely control my character with this lag, you see me not using important abilties for over 5 seconds sometimes, almost dying to it. Itā€™s not because i am not spamming them, it is because i got so much lag the game doesnā€™t register it! My settings are on minimum and still itā€™s like this when recording, so expect super uuugly video.

I can also note that the nerfs are definitely felt. Iā€™m not sure if it was nerfs or because they made the monsters hit harder as well rofl, probably just the nerfs. But i came close to dying on random occasions, before that would barely have left a scratch. Or maybe it was just because i was used to playing then.

I am really enjoying this build. I started it just before the nerfs (got to level 86) so I was a little worried about them but it turned out to be a super strong char anyway. I just killed Callagadra last night with it. Next I will work on seeing how far I can go in SR.

Glad you are enjoying it.

Btw, which of the builds are you going for? the tanky block focused version?

The offensive-based one. Here is my grim tools: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/qNY4Y1eZ

I just beat crucible 170 and Iā€™m up to SR60 so far which didnā€™t seem super hard. I still need to find the recipe for mythical zolhanā€™s revenge and donā€™t have gildorā€™s guard.

Hello! Thanks for sharing this build. I am playing a 100 Oathkeeper so I have be scouring the forums looking for insights to help with my own build. I tried your Devotion spec without realizing I still needed Healing Rain so I borked my character for the time being. :persevere:

What is the best way to farm the green rings? Crucible, SR, or just farming the bog + dungeon?

I have another question actually. Why do most these builds i see use Gildorā€™s Guard over Dread Armor of Azragor? I assume it is because you want the + Fighting Form? I tested Gildorā€™s Gaurd for my OK and it gave me a huge damage loss which I could not afford.

Itā€™s not just the skill bonuses but the proc on block skill as well.

Hello, why did he put almost all points into cunning and not physique?? I m pretty new thats why im asking

Cunning provides Offensive Ability (OA). You ideally want some level of OA on every character (OA for your pets on summoners) so that your attacks do not miss against Bosses and above and have a chance to crit doing extra damage (though less important here as he has 0% critical damage).

Defensive Ability provided by Physique also starts to mean less when you have high raw defensive stats that allow you to negate thousands of damage as he can with his buffed Shield stats.

Alright thanks, now I get it!

I like this build, easy to tank a lot of things, but real pain in a** are regenerators. Canā€™t even scratch some of them at all. Iā€™m on default pure defense build, lvl 97 now. Far from purple end-game gear.
