The Diviner’s Set is back, and since sadly there are no Spirit pets that are immortal, the best way to build a Diviner’s Set pet build is to do away with the Spirit pets all together and focus on big Reap Spirit damage. The set itself has undergone a lot of changes since the initial build post; what used to be an Aether + Vitality hybrid is now a pure Vitality caster - the Spiritbinder Glyph rings convert all of the Wraiths’ cold damage to Vitality, and any kills from the Reap Spirit attack summon Bound Wraiths that also inflict full Vitality damage.
Cryptstalker is a new addition to Grim Dawn from v1.1.6.0 - it provides a 15% Aether and Vitality RR aura 5m around the character. Normally, that would spell disaster for pet builds, but since Spirit’s Deathchill Aura is also a 5m aura that provides Vitality and Aether RR, the weapon is a great fit for this build. To provide the necessary staying power to keep within that radius, we use Dryad bound to Reap Spirit. Dark Covenant is now a full-fledged heal that provides Critical damage for you and your pets, which compliments nicely with Call of the Grave’s and Hungering Void bonuses.
What’s the secret to this build’s success? Spirit provides a huge number of racial bonuses, especially against Aetherials and Undead. There are two circuit breakers - one from Spirit’s Death Ward and the other from the medal which is the GQ equivalent of Unlife. And Spectral Binding and Spirit Ward combine to give the build over 17K health.
