It’s really interesting to see how the meta has changed. Particularly with the top 20 softcore builds.
Of late, I have taken up doodling about on GT every now and then. However, I don’t think I’ll be able to do any real in game testing in the foreseeable future.
Curiosity finally got the better of me and I figured I’d post some of my draft (and untested) concepts out in the open. If anyone decides they are interesting enough to test out, I’d love to see how they work:
Disclaimer: These builds may have already been done.
Pure vindictive flame pyro: Pyromancer, Level 100 (GD 1.1.9.8) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator
Strangely, I’ve not seen any recent builds doing this with the ember calling set. On paper, it looks beastly with vindictive flames proccing every 0.164s + 33% damage reduction + Juicy adcth
Always looked good on paper and always failed to deliver unfortunately. Vindictive only procs on receiving dmg which leaves you with low dps vs casters. More importantly, Ulzuin doesn’t work on close enemies. The skill just doesn’t work properly as a dmg source.
Was making a lot of versions of this until decided to give up permascension for Korvaak helmet and more tankiness coming from devos. It’s a good build but even with permascension it’s not bulletproof
N&O is very good now, for both cold and fire.
Acid RE is worth trying again, indeed. You absolutely need RE dedicated gloves though
Overall the game has gotten harder and now anything with less than 18k effective HP can fall apart in SR75-76. Come join our server and we’ll bring you up to speed!
