Any update on the Vanquisher Templar build ? Vire’s Might is so fun to play with.
Why do you keep reposting old versions that can’t even beat Callagadra? Don’t you feel like there’s something wrong with the criteria for ranking them in the top 20?
@nofika4u had something I am sure
Could you please point to where we are doing that? Also killing Calla was always a minor criteria for our selection.

Avenger Warder 1.2.1.4 update!
All right, this (1.2.1.4) patch gave us toys to transform this build into beautiful 100% multitarget wps pool beast and that is on top of an automatic War Cry. Build is just so fun now!

Niiice, I was just farming stuff for my Warder to complete my build, was wondering why Markovian’s didn’t make the cut.
Also is Upheaval that bad, that it’s not worth even a single runoff point? It feels wasteful to not use that +8 points/+70% w.damage.
The medal and wps? Well they did!
It’s not bad but with 100% wps pool we just can’t proc it. Upheaval is worth building around if you are focusing solely on Upheaval that means no wps and huge OA stack (ideally north of 3800 OA).
Oh I completely forgot Upheaval needs a crit to proc… I see.
Anyhow how would Markovian Warlord look with the Stratagem? Or is the Dreadblade so much better?
Markovian set still maintains this weird design from before Oathkeeper was added to the game where one of the things it supports is Markovian WPS. It’s weird (almost outright bad as far as set designs go and we feedbacked that many times) because Markovian’s Advantage does not hit with the shield. So in essence it’s a (very weak) hit with just your main hand weapon unlike Smite or Shattering Smash. For that reason doing anything other than one pointing MA on Markovian set builds is useless. Same goes for trying to support it with extra juice from the Stratagem mods. It’s just pointless and you are better off doing something else in that slot instead (like getting massive attack speed buff from Dreadblade medal).
Not just that but if you have 100% wps pool it just won’t activate crit or not. If you roll wps Upheaval can’t proc, crit or not. And game checks first if it’s a wps roll or not and only after that it checks for crit.

Avenger Archon 1.2.1.4 Update!
Trying to breath new life in this overnerfed king of old. New Oleron’s Blood component and buffed Rhowan’s Scepter devotion help with that. Build manages well overall, but probably not at the top20 level. Callagadra fight became especially hard after phys res nerf on set’s proc and no compensation. Here are some videos with build’s current performance:

Ludrigan Druid 1.2.1.4 Update
New patch, new opportunities to improve. Went freshly buffed hydra for 10% max ms (noticeable in SR given only 1 movement skill), full armour absorption, invested in (slightly buffed) maelstrom and distortion for extra rr. End result is build now has more damage than it had in the original top20 post while maintaining high-end defences. Kudos to @banana_peel for forcing me to update this one.

Hello to all of you guys , I was considering to star a corba trickster and i would like to know if the build is still good or needs an update? also what skill i should build around for leveling ?
Thanks in advance , and also thanks for the effort you put into the game with your builds !
The cold korba isn’t in the best form for this patch now x.x
This is posted by the author quite some comments ago. I play with a different devotion setup and rylock crest, but @nofika4u ‘s setup is likely the best around (Trickster, Level 100 (GD 1.2.1.3) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator)
Thanks for your replies ! BTW does anyone has a Mythical heart of the mountain to trade ?
Thats the only missing piece from the legendary part of gear.
If it’s here than it’s good!

This is sorta general newbish, but whenever I see someone using the avenger set it’s always with savagery, even though the set itself doesn’t have any bonuses to it. Is there a reason for savagery over cadence?
Absolutely. Set supports 2handed wps. WPS don’t have great synergy with Cadence (you can find the explanation for that somewhere here on forums, I am just lazy to type it all out, sorry), but WPS have great synergies with other auto-attacks like Savagery for example.

Health regen, phys resist, OA, attack speed, all lightning to physical…
Cadence could empower the WPS, however, Savagery in this scenario is better choice, I suppose.
