Huh, the Chaos AoM near spam build is pretty damn good, shame the save doesn’t come with waystones though
And I’m amazed the Cold Korba Trickster is the top build, as usually it’s more focused on RoS.
Anyhow, looks like I need to hurry the fluff up and post my Vit FoI Voidsoul Apostate, because the thing’s a bloody monster. Not top 20, but 400k dps on FoI makes it very capable despite FoI’s annoying drawbacks.
Along with my take on mad-lee’s lightning AoM archon, which I developed via my own experiments with the concept and arrived at a similar, though very different take on it. Which has managed naked crucible and SR90-91 with just basic resist pots and health regen pharma: Archon, Level 100 (GD 1.2.0.5) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator
On the internet, you’re either the number 1 build or you’re a total trash-garbage, worthless, dead build and you should delete your life and uninstall your character for not playing the number 1 build.
It’s always been like this. There’s some people who only want to play the absolute best and nothing else will do.
Now that’s random, considering what I wrote prior. There’s a better spinner mentioned in this list to boot, but I have the items for the warlord. There goes my very deep reasoning to pick a meme build at this point in time.
Hi, haven’t played this game in a long time, thinking of trying the #5 Acid RtA Sentinal, how do I go about the leveling/gearing process? Is there a step by step guide?
I missed the points on Gollus, I thought you chose them for the defensive stats
If I don’t have any decent (Gollus) rings atm, would you suggest something else, like Black Matriarch?
You can use black matriarch and well rolled Gargabol ring, but I suggest just getting to Gollus farm straight away. It’s one of the easier monsters to farm: just learn the spawns from the wiki and take a character with extra teleport from mastery.
I know the farming route, went there for Dermapteran Slicer but skipped Gollus most of the time. Maybe I will get a Tyrant’s on my Slicer after all this time
I don’t think so. I think some melee nightblades builds here can only kill Callagadra when fighting her under cluster and then kiting before next cluster. But most builds should be fine if you are dodging her sunder and using pharma plus cluster.
Post videos with builds you struggled with to kill her and maybe I can help further.
P.S. Callagadra is a gimmicky boss so builds we do are never min-maxed with her gimmicky damage profile in mind.
They are all very sustainable against all of the farmable content, hard to say which one is more sustainable. Callagadra is just gimmicky with here over the top physical damage and fumbles that make it super hard for melees.
Or do you need specifically Callagadra killers? Then try Avenger Warder, Ludrigan Druid and Blitz Warlord.
So, turns out you can do a vitality based Oppressor version of the Chaos Voidsoul AoM build in this list, passes SR80-81 with ease too.
Need to do some moar testing obs, but it’s going to rank outside of the top 20 simply on basis of gear, since it needs high freeze resist rolls on the helm, amulet and pants to not need Hoarfrost. Which is going to be bloody expensive and time consuming. Never mind that vitality is much more resisted by super bosses, despite me packing in the vit -RR% sources, bar the relic, as I’m addicted to Serenity and have no shame in using it
Also my Tester+ file comes with a Serenity with 4% for all attributes
I am afraid it won’t even come close to be considered for top20 testing even. And not because of gear. It doesn’t have good enough damage/tankiness ratio and even with better min-maxing it still wouldn’t come close.
If you feel like your build is worthy of top20 testing I would ask you to kindly play top20 builds first to see where it’s actually at.

Except it can run through SR85-86 without pots and due to it’s higher OA it regularly hits much harder than the sheet dps would suggest. But yeah, it looses 200K sheet dps compared to the Chaos version simply due to all the chaos damage that remains unconverted. And vitality usually has higher enemy resists too.
The other issue otherwise is that at only 20/22 for Reprisal it doesn’t get 25% chance for cooldown, which does lower effective dps in boss shards if you don’t have one that spawns minions. But 150k vit decay ticks help with that.
Fails SR90 of course, as more PR and sustain is needed even with pots due to the lack of a heal on demand skill. But yeah, I think you’re underestimated it’s tankiness and effectiveness.
Not at all, I think it should be pretty tanky in its own right, there are literally like a hundred+ more builds that are really really strong just not top20. So when I say “it’s not close to top20” it only means that it’s not close to the level of the builds presented here but it does not mean it’s bad. It can still be pretty good. So don’t take it the wrong way.
That said, to see and feel how far or how close it is to the builds in top20 (or even the builds we had in the testing) you should simply try them yourself.
