…you’re right, i just looked at the percentages and flat, and infiltrator is much better than BM. Belgo BM is definitely a great class/build but not on the lvl of infiltrator, my bad.
I think mad_lee’s Cold Saboteur uses Leviathan to good effect, probably because Thermite Mines + Veil give it so much RR that it can fit the massive damage boost that Whirlpool brings and is beefy enough not to need the DR.

Well almost but the trick was that I swapped to Alkamos rings for that (and also for other reasons).
I also put Leviathan there not because I chased it in particular, but because it just fitted this mega damage devotion map with two tier-2 and juicy 4 nods from Seru. Taking Leviathan made me actually pay attention to how outdated its nods are (but that’s already feedbacked).

Hey guys, can anyone help me with devotion rout on Korba Trickster? I made my own for my leveling, but it looks very long and there is too many steps, which looks unnesessary, and i broke my head optimizing it…
Here’s mine:
Yellow
Turtle
Lotus
Remove Yellow
Red
Viper
Purple
Empty Throne
Scythe
Scolar’s
Murtmur
Rhowan’s
Behemoth
Crab
Remove Throne
Amatok
Remove Scholar’s
Ultos (without left node)
Remove red
Remove Purple
Two nodes in Berserker
Is it ok or could be done with fewer number of steps?

Murmur
Behemoth
Amatok
Scythe
Crown
Crab
Remove Quill & crossroads
Ultos

We are going to be slowly updating the list with 1.2.1 updates. The patch brought a lot of significant changes and as a result some builds in the list got stronger while others mostly remained the same or became slightly weaker. We won’t be doing the new ranking but we will try to update each build on the list (if it requires upading).
Blitz Warlord 1.2.1.0 update!
After physical damage rework and Chains of Anguish belt nerf I decided to remake it without the belt. It has roughly the same damage output except it’s more consistent now. And Solemn Watcher is the new Turtle now!

aw crap, i just returned for some grim dawn and decided to try the acid RtA build, but it looks like all grimtools broke today, any way to reverse engineer that? i only know where to get the weapon
EDIT: nevermind it now works again, guess dammitt did an update!
With physical resistance nerfed this patch what is considered the more “meta” stat to stack now?
Honestly, it’s really build dependant and playstyle dependant. For melee/facetanking playstyle I would say it’s nice to have at least 22-25 with some armor. Casters can get away with less but again, depends how their sustain/other defenses are. And if you are dodging most sunders than you can get away with less.
But I would say that it’s still wise to pick up phys res in slots where you can get easily, I am talking about chest armor, shoulders and boots.
Definitely can’t go wrong especially if you also have good sustain on it. But also can’t go fast I am afraid.
While @grey-maybe is going to be adding those updates into “reserved” comment any day now for all of them to be in one place, here is another update of a top20 beast.
Cold N&O Saboteur 1.2.1.0 update!
This guy had to be nerfed few times during test patch but only because it became an untameable beast after Nightstalker amulet got buffed with the Physical to Cold conversion for Fire Strike mod.
I reworked the build a bit and went with Alkamos rings (since Elemental Balance ring set lost a lot of value with all the consecutive nerfs to it) and because of it went a completely different direction in terms of devotions (Yugol wasn’t mandatory anymore). First ever top20 build with Leviathan in stars, this Sabouter definitely became stronger than it was during testing (but not by much).

On behalf of @banana_peel and with his blessing I am updating his Fire Nex and Ortus Sabouter.
Fire N&O Saboteur 1.2.1.0 update!
During the latest patch Banana decided to go in the direction of more flat and added Lethal Assault to the build (after all it’s almost 100% converted into Fire). I did some finishing touches since yellow man is on a long vacation from GD and a fiery monster was reborn. This time it has much meaner single target punch while maintaining high enough aoe and comfortable level of defenses.

Would anyone be able to help me on the setup on this guy?
For whatever reason, if i equip a basilisk fang medal, my aegis conversion gets bricked and it deals phys+fire again not 100% acid… huh?
Or anyone know somebody who might be able to help? Thanks in advance
EDIT: actually it was disabling my amulet, so the amulet is whats causing the backwards conversion
was leveling without the amulet this whole time ofcourse, i guess its a necessary evil to have no cooldown in the first place?
Evoker Saboteur 1.2.1.0 update!
Updated together with @mad_lee
Changed to Alkamos rings and fresh meta devo path.
If you are struggling with OA rolls on MI items use Wraith’s Scream jewelry augments instead.

Waiting for the new King or Queen…
All right, got the updates comment going:
Avenger Archon 1.2.1.0 update!
Unfortunately new patch brought nothing but nerfs and this build while still being good probably would lose its top20 spot had we done the testing in 1.2.1.0 (or maybe still land in the bottom half or in honorables).
Changed Turtle to Solemn Watcher, because it felt better overall.
<<<< GRIMTOOLS >>>>
1.2.1.0 Shard 90 full run one death
Lightning Retaliation Archon 1.2.1.0 update!
1.2.1.0 Brought some rebalancing to Retaliation builds. This build however didn’t change in terms of damage output (it did gain a bit of casting speed) but it did become even a bit tankier and more streamlined overall due to Mark of Myrmidon’s proc and permanent Wind Devils. So I would say overall this build became a bit stronger.
