How to Level –

Since the above build is an endgame build, use the information provided below for leveling.

Attributes:

Everything into Physique, except for when you need to invest into Cunning or Spirit to meet the required stats for equipping items.

Leveling:

There are primarily 2 ways to go. Either focus more on Occultist or Shaman. I would suggest going with an Occultist focused setup since it is easier to level with. You can ofcourse, focus on both equally, but then would be spreading your points too thin and that is not recommended.

Devotions:

  • Purple > Shepherd’s Crook > Remove Purple >
  • Yellow > Stag > Panther > Remove Yellow >
  • Falcon > Nighttalon > Toad > Red >
  • Behemoth > Remove Red > Bysmiel’s Bonds >
  • Typhos, the Jailor of Souls >
  • Mogdrogen the Wolf >
  • Huntress (minus the node that gives pierce resistance)

Skills:

  • Lvl 10 – 16/16 Familiar, 1/16 Hellhound.
  • Lvl 20 – 16/16 Briarthorn, 1/10 Curse of Frailty, 4/16 Hellhound.
  • Lvl 30 – 10/10 Curse of Frailty, 10/10 Vulnerability, 16/16 Hellhound.
  • Lvl 40 – 16/16 Blood of Dreeg, 8/12 Storm Spirit, 1/16 Devouring Swarm.
  • Lvl 50 – 12/12 Lightning Strike, 1/12 Grasping Vines.
  • Lvl 60 – 12/12 Aspect of the Guardian, 12/12 Storm Spirit, 2/12 Ember Claw, 1/12 Bonds of Bysmiel.
  • Lvl 70 – 3/12 Manipulation, 1/12 Possession.
  • Lvl 80 – 12/12 Manipulation, 12/12 Possession.
  • Lvl 90 – 12/12 Infernal Breath, 12/12 Ember Claw.
  • Lvl 94 – Respec, according to the build you are going for.

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 :yum:

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

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

5

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 :smiley:

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

8

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.

Ty :smiley:

Next one HAS TO BE a pet build WITHOUT pets! :smiley:

13

Already done, unfortunately :cry:

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

Or, you could always go for player scaled pets too :stuck_out_tongue:

14

Updated everything for FG :smiley:

15

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.

16

That would mean no maxed Briarthorns though. But…

17

You think maxed briar is better?

EDIT: max briar is probably better just wondering though

18

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 :stuck_out_tongue:

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