Grim Dawn Classes, Skills and Builds

Hello there to all build masters (and not only!)

I was thinking today of some potential builds, and i would like the opinions of people that have done many builds worthy of farming gladiator crucible and vanilla nemesis/etc, also of people that have nice ideas!

I always wanted to make the following skills work in nice builds that can compete the top tier ones farming cruci/ultimate:

  • Phantasmal Blades WITH Frenetic Throw
  • Olexas flash freeze with some other single target spell/ability
  • Panettis replicating missiles
  • Sigil of consumption + Devouring swarm for a super vitality life leech build

I really really would love to read opinions from anyone but especially from guys that post so many nice guides of amazing builds that can solo all content with relative ease.

Lets make a nice conversation
Thanks in advance guys!

There’s a couple good PRM builds around already. There’s a full Aether one that’s pretty awesome IMO.

full aether PRM will be hard in cruc imo or for any PRM for that matter… I have one, linked in my profile but I havent tried though. It might be doable

check out some of Drizzto and Superfluff builds …they are mainly designed to be gladiator ready…

I would relly love to have Drizzto and Superfluff and JoV opinions in here about the specific skills/builds.

@Safarel

It’s Chthon’s work. No idea about Gladiator, but probably. Certainly seems to have the stats.

  • Phantasmal Blades WITH Frenetic Throw - There are many builds that are using these skills (SB, WH, trickster, etc) all of them are ultimate viable and some of them can finish gladi cruci tho I dont regard any of them to be tier1 cruci farmer

  • Olexas flash freeze with some other single target spell/ability - OFF is mostly CC skill so this kind of build would mostly depend of other skills/class combos taken

  • Panettis replicating missiles - PRM is unfortunately one of weakest casting spells in game and considering investment needed to make it work imho is not worth it. Stating that you can easily make some ulti viable PRM build coupled with devastation or doom bolt or w/e, nonetheless I dont think it would have good cruci performances.

  • Sigil of consumption + Devouring swarm for a super vitality life leech build - There are some really good builds that are using this skill combos, Retaliator and Ceno made them some time ago you should check it.

Thank you for stopping by and commenting JoV!

-You think PB is not a good enough skill for crucible purposes? Is it low dmg?What do you think is the problem of it not being tier1 skill?
-For OFF apart from the CC part, isnt the -% on fire res good for lets say fire based builds? For example for your BWC sorcerer wouldnt it be nice to have more % RR?
-For PRM there were some pretty bursty builds some patches ago, what happened? Did they nerf it? I mean the single target dps was more than enough and PRM has a good AoE part so…
-I dont know how to check the builds, you got a way to search for them? Or a link? You mention that the builds are old, you sure they work for gladiator crucible still today?
