I am trying this build since it kinda shoots for what I want out of a build in general but since I am relatively new to GD I have a question.
What kind of items should I be going for? I know pet buffing items is a must of course, but there is always certain weapons especially MI that are worth going after.
I feel that right now the build has a lack of orientation of where the player should be going to look for things his build needs as he levels up his character.
I suggest that you take a look at the carnival guide Maya has done. It is an amazing resource and is in the original post on this thread. In short, anything that gives you resist up to cap and then pet damage and resists is how you want to progress.
I know that much. It’s more about where to farm items since usually there are certain key items that drop in specific places or from monsters that help a lot during the leveling process and those are not included neither in the guide here nor in the carnival guide.
Ok, thanks for your help Maya and medea, I didn’t expect to get reply from ya, thought you might be busy with other things, again thanks!! Ok I thought so about Possession is the placeholder for when we get to Primal Bond
If u were talking of during leveling the build then yes. it is indeed a placeholder of sorts. maya levels as mono class. So Occultist to 94(with recommendation to 16/16 briarthorn from shaman) and then switch to final setup.
So possession for like until 94. primal bond after. you can choose to not go for possession at all or go for primal bond at whatever stage in the game.
But since maya leveled without using shaman they invested the extra points into the possession. single mastery builds always end up with extra points.
For pets’ stats do I go for damage to all, or mixture? any suggestion? trying to figure out which gears is best, I dont know how to link those gears though
Best thing to do for gear comparison is to go to grimtools.com and upload your character to the build planner and then compare the stats on the gear. The rule of thumb is to first max your resistances, then your pets resists and then work on getting % all damage for pets.
