The 102 piercing damage mod to EoR of the offhand weapons applies and is lost than, or? (the main reason for using two Reaver’s Claws). But nevertheless - it might be worth a test either way - damage vs sustain
axe gives you %wd direct to eor too so maybe it’s balanced out a bit, no idea
i know i used it on one of my actual pierce dervish EoR toons because of sustain, and dmg was fine (but also an actual pierce class ofc 
)
Sheet damage was almost equal before and after - which likely does not mean that much. But somehow the impact of the much higher Adcth was not really feelable - too many death in a SR 65/66 run. Even more weirdly, build played almost identical with the axe as the main hand or off-hand weapon. :dunno:
(however, had the impression that against Korvaak sustain was slightly better - but not 18% adcth better)
All right, I have a definite answer to the last piece of your meme puzzle:
And here is the video (I can’t be arsed to wait for YouTube to proccess HD for it, sorry):
Obviously SR 75-76 will not be a problem for it if it facetank kills Ravager (although takes a while to do so).

Wait to see what changes Zantai makes in v1.2. 
From the FF dev stream the other day:
“I didn’t say no Grim Dawn 2, I just said no Grim Dawn 2 right now. However, if you’re here from our Grim Dawn community in the future later this year I’m going to have some wonderful goodies for you to explore. So stay tuned, we’ll probably do a live stream for Grim Dawn in a few weeks or months where I’m going to talk a little bit about what’s coming up. And I promise you, you guys will love it.”

Glad to be able to participate in making this thread complete, can see various efforts from players making weird and smart build that turns out can work out of the game 
P.s. thread will never finish if we include all pet damage type

How about all retal damage types?

Pierce Pet Build

I don’t know!
I thought about “builds for each skill as main skill” but that would be either over really quickly… or impossible to do, depending on how you put the parameters. (I’ve never really seen a build using Inquisitor seal as the main attack, for example)
Also thought about “A pet build for every class”… but I’m sure @Maya and @Skelemental have already done that between them.
“AA for every damage type” is also probably already done.
“Single mastery builds” have been done as well…
One facet of this game that hasn’t been explored that much (Perhaps because it’s underwhelming) that I like is DoT damage, and how to build around it and optimize it fully. But there isn’t enough material there for a collaborative thread like this one, I’m afraid.
“Faction gear only build for every class” sounds like a nice challenge too, but would also be over very quickly. (Though that might be the best one of the lot so far)
“Use every set not for it’s main damage type or class” (Like Bleed Korba, or my Blood Knight Dervish)
I’m stumped. I wish I had an idea for one such cool group project, but right now I got nothing.

I made an aether / pierce pet attempt (two of the worst pet damage types) a while ago. Of all the toons created in Grim Dawn, this is one of them. With a better offhand, it might not be too bad. /shrug

Suggestion: Every dual class combo with DW ranged AND 2H ranged.
Tried to make some builds of those on my own and the results were not that good. It is fair to say I play this game approx 2,5 years.

I dunno if it’s done already, however, an idea came to my mind - complete every conduit type… vit grenado, fire ABB, chaos shadow strike…
Some of them are already done for sure but I doubt all of them, so could be interesting.

It would be sorta short, but it’s a very good idea
