Grim Dawn Version 1.1.8.1 Hotfix 1
Due to the recent Hotfix and this one change in particular: Mythical Circlet of the Great Serpent: removed Cooldown Reduction modifier for Summon Blight Fiend and increased its Acid damage modifier to 45
I can no longer vouch for the effectiveness of this build. Use at your own risk. The same also applies to my other Blightfiend based builds using the same Helmet.
Hi!
I started playing during the holidays and loved the game!
Wanted to try a pet build (didnt finished the game at normal yet)
Im nowhere near gearing my characters. Is this build still viable?
Thanks a lot!

Oh sorry!
I thought it had another patch after it.
But to level on casual difficulty, without doing crucible is still ok?
Got zero experience and seems some builds requires specific gears, and didnt know if for this one it was mandatory

The current patch is 1.1.8.1 the build in the first post is for 1.1.8.0
You can not really separate a build from its items, especially these end game builds that are posted here. What you are after is some beginner friendly starter build, check this out The Carnival - A Guide to Pets there is much information in that guide which covers pet builds for beginners. In particular, you wanna aim for a build that relies on faction items, guaranteed drops, and monster infrequent items firs.

You cannot change masteries (classes) after choosing them. Not from within the game anyways. You can use 3rd party tools like GDStash to do so if you wish.
But Necro is fine. However, I would recommend going for Will O Wisp - Pet Cabalist or Ishtar - Pet Ritualist as Endgame options instead.
Also, welcome ot the forums

Hii Maya,
Its been awhile since I have played this game. A lot has change since then. I was playing various of your pets builds in that time and I quite enjoyed it.
Anyway I getting back into the game again and this pet witch doctor build of yours look amazing. Just wondering due to this one change “Mythical Circlet of the Great Serpent: removed Cooldown Reduction modifier for Summon Blight Fiend and increased its Acid damage modifier to 45”, does it effect the build that heavily?? because from the unstable anomaly node the cooldown reduced to 8s while the uptime of fiend is still 12s. I only base this on the skill node description, I havent play the build so my logic may not be right

Yeah, builds needs looking into before I can safely suggest it to others.
For the time being, consider it out of date and in need of updating.
But even if I update it (if, because I really hate that Circlet nerf), it would no longer be a Unstable Anomaly build since that does not seem to be worth it anymore.
That aside, welcome back
Hey,
Thanks for the lighting quick reply!
You recall what was the cooldown reduction before the nerf? The unstable anomaly will let you summon up to 3 fiends right? so now with 8s cooldown and 12s uptime you won’t be able to summon up to cap of 3 anyway I think. Sorry if my logic is flawed haha so much has change since I last played lol.
Previously you could reduce it to 3 seconds. So 4x Blightfiends on the field at once.
It was however considered overpowered since they had so much AoE and were good in SR. So, that CDR was changed to a medal which you can’t use alongside Ghol’s, making the current maximum 3 if not using Ghol set.
this composition is really fun, I don’t have all the items and I’m far from that goal but I had fun playing like this <3

This build is BS unless I’m missing something here. There seems to be 21 skill points unaccounted for, and I’ve done the math over and over and still get the same answer. So unless you can tell me where you are getting these numbers, or how the calculator is displaying them, despite the fact that there are only 67 total skill points on your gear, I’m considering this a false post. In counting the skill tree, and then counting your +skills from gear, there are 21 points more in the tree than possible. Explain.
Your Math skills suck.
There, explained.
In GrimTools links, you can’t have more skill/devotion points than legitimately possible ingame, so there isn’t anything unaccounted for.

*Clicks grimtool link.
*manually removes all skills from all slots to see the total used…

… It took me literally 38 seconds to figure out that Maya’s build is legit (not that I ever doubted, mind you) I don’t know what convoluted maths you did, but it’s definitely not working out.
Have you counted gear that gives +1 to all skills ?
