Foreword:

Yes, the title, I know…

Now,
Ever wanted something that you could play half asleep?
Ever wanted to kill the Gods themselves?
Ever wanted to conquer the crucible while having no idea what you are doing?

If your answer is yes, then you are in the right place. This is one of the laziest, easiest builds in existence and you can do absolutely everything ingame with it, including killing Celestials or Farming the Crucible. It is also 100% Hardcore Viable.

Note: Requires both Ashes_of_Malmouth & Forgotten_Gods.

No Potions/Consumables/Shrines used. Do 75-76 for farming.

Crucible with 3 Blessings + 4 Lvl-1 StormCaller Beacons: https://i.imgur.com/e3Koxkp.jpg
No Potions/Consumables used. SR is better for farming.

Took about 1:30 min. No potions/consumables used. Pretty easy fight. Just kite him away from his Crates and you will be fine

Callagadra, The Scion of Sands: https://i.imgur.com/XMXkx1G.jpg
Took about 8 mins. No potions/consumables used. Just avoid its Sand attack and you will be fine

Ravager of Flesh: https://i.imgur.com/y0pKC1H.jpg
Took about 4 min. No potions/consumables used. Pretty easy fight. Fully face-tanked

Avatar of Mogdrogen: https://i.imgur.com/27I6Mlc.jpg
Took about 19 mins due to his high Resistances. No potions/consumables used. Should be easy enough provided you don’t get in Melee distance since his attacks can “shotgun”.

A Small Budget/Beginner Guide:

[>> The Carnival - A Guide to Pets <<]

.

How to Level:

Personally, I simply went for Solo Occultist all the way to 94 and then changed the skill points around.

(Look in the above guide if you want to see the step by step build diary or click here if you just want the GrimTools links)

That should still work, but with just enough points into Shaman early on to get a 16/16 Briarthorn for the extra pet for an easier time.

The points needed can be taken from what would have gone to the Hellhound’s skills.

But after getting a Briarthorn, going back to Occultist and focusing on it (except for the Hound skills other than 1 point in Ember Claw) should be the most straightforward route.

Something like this should do:

L10 - https://www.grimtools.com/calc/vNQY8qMN
L20 - https://www.grimtools.com/calc/b28egoGV
L30 - https://www.grimtools.com/calc/q2MnWqQV
L40 - https://www.grimtools.com/calc/YNn6EOyN
L50 - https://www.grimtools.com/calc/bVAwPd1N
L60 - https://www.grimtools.com/calc/YZeKzdp2
L70 - https://www.grimtools.com/calc/JVl605oN
L80 - https://www.grimtools.com/calc/YVWO3BdV
L90 - https://www.grimtools.com/calc/m233o5j2

Don’t mind the items, the links are just modified Occu ones from my build diary

You can also get Assassin’s blade for the extra Physical RR for Briarthorns until you can convert pet physical into elemental.
Look here for the devotion setup in that case: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/gZwL8WbN

Alternate Version with Mythical Blood Orb :

O) Lazy Birb: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/dVbgK5EZ

NOTE: The Off-Hand is only for the stats it provides. Do not use Blood Rite

NOTE 2: Performance should be similar to that of the main build, but a bit weaker offensively

How do you find 1 Familiar, 0 Primal Spirit compares to 0 Familiar, 1 Primal Spirit?

by 0 familiar I actually mean 1 point in the base skill plus whatever you like in Storm Spirit

Maya · February 12, 2019, 6:06pm

Interms of clear speed, they both showed similar results. (The build I tried it with)

But since Familiar provides a steady source of DPS whereas P.spirit unloads its damage in burst (I have 30sec CD & 20sec duration), I prefer the Familiar here.

With a Bound Spirit or something, however the Murder Kitty should overtake the birb.

No potions/consumables used. Took about 9 mins. But pretty easy

malawiglenn · February 13, 2019, 3:08am

How about making a pet build, where all the summons comes from skills granted by items?

Nandi · February 13, 2019, 4:13pm

Nice build, added to my thread.

sephelutis · February 13, 2019, 4:43pm

This along with all the buffs on items etc you turning the game into guitar hero

Maya · February 14, 2019, 9:19am

Challenge accepted.

Ok… pet build with item only pets? done

I wanted to keep it green free and hence no Salazar’s. Also chose Dirge over Primal Instinct because I wanted the skeleton thing, for some reason…

Some changes due to FG.

Next one HAS TO BE a pet build WITHOUT pets!

Maya · February 14, 2019, 2:57pm

Already done, unfortunately

Dracarris hybrid with the pets there to only provide the auras.

Or, you could always go for player scaled pets too

Maya · March 9, 2019, 6:36am

Updated everything for FG

iOnlyPlayPetBuilds · March 13, 2019, 5:43am

Do you really think those rings + that weapon are the best?

Figured the 2 elemental rings + elemental dagger would be unless going a full theme like spark of ultos + 2 lightning rings or something along those terms.

Maya · March 13, 2019, 6:18am

That would mean no maxed Briarthorns though. But…

Elemental Fluffy: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/nZo9MeB2

iOnlyPlayPetBuilds · March 13, 2019, 6:23am

You think maxed briar is better?

EDIT: max briar is probably better just wondering though

Maya · March 13, 2019, 6:40am

Maxed Briar comes with Azrakaa, which you can’t use in the Elemental version. And Shifting Sands seems pretty good.

The difference between them would probably be Defense vs Offense. With the Physical build being more sturdy with the Elemental doing more dmg.

And no need to bother with Wind Devils on the Physical versions, so less micromanagement

iOnlyPlayPetBuilds · March 13, 2019, 6:43am

Do you know where I can see shifting sands in game from one of the dev streams?
