I selected one of the many builds mentioned in Maya’s guide , the one named Mnemo…(forgot). The chaos “essentially a walking simulator” one cause I love chaos damage. It was my first time playing pet scaled pets in any ARPGs thus far. Gotta say it felt weird at first but pets seem to kill faster than I do at the same level. Especially The familiar and hellhound. Pets rock ! Will study the above build thoroughly
To be able to level such a build in hardcore solo self found would be a true accomplishment. I have tried on 2 different occasions and was killed by Zaria in Normal both times. The second time I actually found blightshard amulet and thought I was rocking. Not to be.
How did you level it since it’s classless? Obviously need to get early items that give pets, but what are they and what did you do before you were able to find/equip them?
The Rings and Amulet are not target farmable sadly.
While Conjuring Bone (the offhand) is available from level 8, I wouldn’t consider it to be reliable due to low proc chance + downtime on the skill. But the next Pet item would be Og’Napesh book, which requires level 40.
So, it is mostly going to be Fireball with a little bit of help from Pets in the early stages until Amulet and Relic become available.
Would recommend using Merits to unlock Riftgates so that devotion shrines can be accessed early to get enough points for Bysmiel devotion.
Should have a total of 7 pets by level 25, but only 2 of them will be permanent sadly.
Yeah, managing attribute requirements for equipping items is going to be a real challenge since you can only rely on stats from devotions and other items.
For devotion path -
Red > Jackal > Green > Raven > Bysmiel’s Bonds > Remove Green > Hawk > Remove Raven
