Skelemancer Cabalist build

Grim Dawn Classes, Skills and Builds
1

Hey all,

This is my take on the Skelliemancer! This is not an optimized pet damage build as I’ve purposefully ignored Hellhound/Raven and did not max out Occultist. The reason for that is I wanted a Vitality/Poison undead summoner and only wanted pets/devotions that fit that theme. However, this is not a weak build by any means. It will still blow through content with ease but a tad slower than the optimized version. There are two builds below. The original one as outlined below and the Poison-centric build.

Enjoy!

Nice to see another Cabalist posted up.

Wish we could have swapped runs. I found 2, TWO Guardians of Death’s Gate and I don’t even use the darn things!

3

Poison builds (pet or not) without Vile Eruption from Abomination makes me sad.

4

That would significantly weaken this build because it’s mainly Vitality damage. Even the Blight Fiend does a ton of Vitality damage!

5

You don’t take Abomination for the node bonuses you take it the proc that hits the whole screen with a super strong poison DoT every 3 seconds.

6

Pretty new playing GD, what faction did you get?

7

And you miss out on Rattosh and Mogdrogen. Not worth it.

Edit: After thinking about it, I replaced Mogdrogen with Abomination and Bone Harvest with Ravenous Earth. Going to run this version first to see how effective it is but it looks fun!

Necro is locked into Death’s Vigil.
