I’m at lvl 31 as a saboteur, just finished the steps of torment quest (not the skeleton key area).
This build has literally been a breeze so far, I have my focus on fire strike, just a couple points in the dw line, shadow strike as my right click, and this is my bold so far (something is screwy but I don’t have the game open ATM, this shows level 33, but you’ll get the idea. http://grimcalc.com/build/1009-lO5UjI
I’ve been working with this build but it looks like it’s from 1.0.0.4, is it still viable? http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?p=408608#post408608
it’s very viable but i would use this build now. It’s almost same, with just a few tweaks. Also remember to take a look at the leveling section of that guide. Lot of useful information there.
http://grimcalc.com/build/1009-0jHaQv I would aim for something like this soon. Getting up pneumatic burst up there is your best way to survive and lethal assault is a HUGE dps boost for melee build when leveling. You can spec out of later when we are much more fire focused, but for now expect it to ~double the damage of your auto attacks and the 100 OA it provides means you will be hitting enemies much more often and even critting a fair bit. The weapon pool skills are pretty worthless atm and belgothian’s shears+whirling death have such slow animations that they are a single target dps loss and we have plenty of aoe. Explosive strike max is quite strong for leveling too. If you don’t have it already get spec out of w/e and get fiend/flame torrent immediately and bind it to fire strike. Your aoe should be at insane levels with that setup and single target will be quite good too
