Theorycrafting Witch Hunter - need opinion

Hail and well met.

This is my first active posting on the forum, I have been lurking around for some time though.

I come to you with a plea for assesment and help in theorycrafting my (upcoming) character.

Concept:

  • Melee character with good mob clearing abilities and single powerful strike against bosses and whatnot.
  • Not necessarily Gladiator 150-170 viable build, but needs to withstand the endgame content in campaign, including roguelike dungeons and bosses.
  • Acid + poison damage based. Trio of Veil of Shadow and Rumor procing off Curse of Frailty should give a shred of 65 - 80% RR. Blood of Dreeg + Pneumatic Burst for healing and buffing. Manual circuit breaker (Blade Barrier) and automatic “oh-shit” healing powers from the belt.
  • Witchhunter is my favourite class in Warhammer tabletop. I wanted to make one viable in GD…

Any ideas on how to better it? Skill allocation? Different items?
Insights most welcome.

The reason for this post is simple. I have very little time to play during the week (family & work take precedence) and I am unwilling to commit several weeks of playing to nurse a toon that will ultimately fail me in the endgame. For the same reason, I am not going to have xyz amount of hours to grind and re-roll MI’s until my eyes bleed ad will have to rely either on GD Stash or luck.

Many thanks in advance!

People with less than 3 posts can’t post links. Most of them post shortened incomplete ones. He put one in the OP. Here’s the completed link:

Check out this thread for a Nightshade’s Reach Acid/Poison WH by sir spanksalot: http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75348

It’s fun, mobile and has 3 maxed out burst damage skills (ABB, SS, RoS) plus poison for some DOT love when kitting is necessary. I changed the Devotions slightly to complete Kraken and to get the Guardian’s Gaze proc (bound to Curse of Frailty). Here’s my take: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/0V0yxjMZ

You can level with maxed DEE with the transmuter and then remove the points later on.

Have fun! :cool:

Crikey.
This feels right at home. It seems the idea in general is viable.
Thanks! Will ponder this a while longer.
