All pet bonuses and your own resistances are the most important. Make sure you are using components in all gear pieces. Imbued silver, purified salt and silk swatch are some of the most important for leveling.
The skill point distribution is not super critical for the leveling process and there is more than one way to skin the cat.
For instance, I like to get 1 point in Occultist and max the bird 16/16 then grab 1 point in Curse of frailty just to have something to bind shepherds crook devotion to. Next I go to the shaman and put 10 points in the bar, get briarthorn 16/16 and do 1 point in mogdrogen’s pact.
Then go back to occultist get 16/16 hellhound, a couple of points in blood of dreeg and then get aspect of the guardian to max removing the need for acid res.
I then head back to the shaman and max oak skin while heading to primal bond.
If I am going to focus on the briarthorn then I max Curse, If I am going for elemental damage pets then I max Vuln and leave curse at 1 or 2 points. Also I will get 1 point in wind devil and max raging tempest after I have primal bond. Later in the leveling process I will pick up 1-2 points in bonds of bysmiel and max 12/12 manipulation.
Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it.
For question 1, yes I prioritize items that have All pet bonuses. But I dont know the other items that dont have All pet bonuses, those items only focus on +Physique and +Spirit, I dont know whether this is right or wrong, can you help me too? Also, I only plus on Physique and Spirit when leveling for my character, is this sounds right? I mean, for every build, we always have stats to focus on (Physique and Spirit for example), I dont know for this build, Physique and Spirit are correct or not
For question 2, thank you so much, I should less focus on this
Your character stat points should only go to physique and a bit of spirit to equip an off-hand. Don’t get any cunning unless you have to. I usually just keep most of my points unassigned until I have to equip gear that has specific requirements.
Equipment should just focus on all pet stuff and your resistances. Don’t try to look for amazing gear early in the game. The bloodsworn offhand is great early with basically any rolls and you will get it around level 30-35. Anything else on gear is a bonus. Hysteria relic is great as well.
It’s just feels like a whole new world to me lol. Yeah maybe I have to take a look on my items and start gathering them again because currently my items only focus on +Physique and +Spirit even All pet bonus is behind them lol. Maybe that’s the reason I feel like my pets are not strong enough
Hello guys.
Grimtools in the “pet base” tab shows that almost all pets have physical damage resistance 20+.
Does this mean that there is no need for the hero to collect the “80% resistance to physical damage” bonus for all pets, but 60% is enough for pets to reach the upper limit of 80%?
See, enemies can reduce both the player’s and pets’ resistances. So, if you want it to remain at 80% even after your pets get their resistance reduces, you are going to need around 105% resistance (including the base resistance they already have)
What can you test resistance on?
There are three percentage reductions to Bleed Resistance: Curse of Weakness (Occultist), Devouring Swarm (Shaman), Huntress Constellation (to the right of Mogdrogen the Wolf).
According to the description of the game mechanics, this type of reduction should stack with each other, but my tests on Callagadra, Ravager and the dummy indicate that only the most powerful one works - the occultist’s curse.
Am I reading the wrong manuals or am I doing the wrong tests?
I noticed in one of your most recent pictures you were wearing everliving grove gloves, and had overlord grips in you inventory. Was this to test both or to swap based on what you are fighting?
I use the same char for all of my different builds.
So, for example, if you see my posting a Warlord build, it is my Pet Conjurer edited with GDStash to be a Warlord and given different name.
I don’t really bother cleaning up my inventory of old items most of the time. So, you see stuff like Overlord grips, which I no longer use in pretty much any of my up-to-date builds.
Also, Ignore Fluffy Squishy for the time being.
It is going to be retired/changed entirely, once 1.2 goes live.
Build Updated. No longer built around Familiar since the Birb is as fragile as a feather now.
Note that the skill points shown in GT atm is not accurate since it does not factor in the additional points granted to items in 1.2.
Note - The build is still defensive focused (and tankier than ever) and still green free, since those two aspects were among the reasons it was popular. So, I am not going to change that.
Maya - You see Fwuffy, if pets can’t tank for you, tank for your pets :3
Everything except Crate was fully facetanked. (Ravager’s Blood pools too I suppose, since build doesn’t have high enough mana regen to stand in those).
Good question. Originally the leveling setup was made for any pet build that used Occultist mastery, so I kind of left it to the players to decide, but I have updated it to a proper Conjurer based leveling now
even All pet bonus is behind them lol. Maybe that’s the reason I feel like my pets are not strong enough
