Returning Player, Looking for help to find a fitting Build

Hey,

Returning to Grim Dawn after a few years away (nearly 500hrs) and I’m looking for a New Build:
(Already have a Warden(2 handed Weapon) and a Vindicator (2 handed Gun). I would like to Build something else/new).

  • Need to be Tanky. I dont want to kite bosses 24/7
  • Has a good amount of Damage output.
  • Any weapons(Melee, Ranged, Caster, Pets). Slight preferences for Caster and Dual Weld.
  • I dont want a 1 skill/ability Build. Need at least 2-3+ offensive skills/abilities that i can use in rotation (Debuff count towards the needs, as long as i have to press more than 1 button when fighting)

Thanks in advance for all proposition,
Cheers!

Well, tanky and good dmg aren’t features these days. All the proper builds have at least decent dmg and fine sustain. I think since the last patch (last summer) I’ve only seen a total of 4 “glass cannon builds” out of dozens.
Wit that out of the way, your weapon choices aren’t really hinting at anything either.
So far this is as generic as it can get.

Regarding the “more than one button” we’re finally talking about at least a modicum of specificity. Current top 21 has Hellborne Grenado RtA build, I think that suits your “rotation” requirement the most.

Other than that, I find that a combination of any two among [Demolitionist, Arcanist, Necromancer, Inquisitor] typically provides much more buttons to press than I’m willing to, so you might look into those masteries as well.

Pets fill your description. They tank for you and do a lot of damage.

My recommendation is do a pet build to level 100, then farm gear. With the gear you find try out more player involved builds.

I could suggest some pet builds, but you don’t need to follow a guide for pets. Just max their skills and set item filter to Pet Bonuses.

Tanky, maybe you can try Warlord
