Hello there Maya,

Thanks again for your awesome builds. Currently running this one. What do you think of exchanging Stormbringer of Malmouth for Gate to Many Worlds ? Asking the expert, was just wondering why you chose it !

Have a nice day guys :slight_smile:

Funny thing, I used to have Gate in the build initially, but swapped over to Stormbringer for more DPS.

Stormbringer helps convert the flat Chaos from Hellfire (hellhound aura) to Lightning while Mogdrogen’s shoulders convert the flat Fire damage from Hellfire and also. Combine that with the fact that Familiars are our main DPS pets and do almost exclusively Lightning damage, the %bonus damage to pet lightning from Stormbringer also helps a ton in boosting the overall DPS of the build.

Gate does provide additional Pets, but said pets dont benefit from things like attack speed, so overall become rather lackluster :frowning:

Any significant changes this patch? Seems live we;ve been more or less much untouched last couple patches.

Just the set piece damage bonus for Bysmiel’s set was nerfed

Hi Maya!

Coming back to the game after a long break, and as always, you’re my go-to for pet builds, which are my absolute favorite. I’m already enjoying the heck out of this. Thank you for keeping them up to date!

I have one question about your recommended leveling guide. You state to get the Briarthorne early, but don’t show any points allocated for it as part of the progression/leveling. Is that an old note that I should ignore, or when should that be incorporated as part of the skill allotments?

Thank you for taking a look!

Thinking about it, I imagine you mean to allot the points to max out Briarthorn ASAP, then resume the recommended Occultist path. Which is what I’m planning to do, but I wanted to double check all the same :blush:

The leveling guide is for leveling a single mastery, so that you can use it for leveling Occultist + any other mastery.

To answer your question though, you’re on the right track:

  • Max out base Familiar
  • Max out base Hellhound
  • Switch to Shaman and max out base Briarthorn
  • The above three will carry you for a really long time
  • Switch back to Occultist and keep putting points into it until higher levels, when you’ll go back and add more points into Shaman

That makes sense. Thank you for taking the time and laying it out!
