Yeah I know, I already created such topic a while ago and Vitality RR on VoS is increased. I gave this archetype another shot, tried different setups, even fantasy ones. It’s not that bad, but the problem is mainly skill points, gear choices and stats. Ofc while creating this topic, I always consider this as an archetype since it has a set, not meme like Aether SS. That’s why I’m asking for some changes.
DW Vitality SS Reaper - https://www.grimtools.com/calc/qNY90jeN
- SR 75-76 Complete Run
Soulrend Vitality SS Reaper - Reaper, Level 100 (GD 1.1.9.7) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator
- SR 75-76 Complete Run
Which is better? Ofc Soulrend version, atleast it provides necessary skill points.
PS: Note that I’m not requesting all changes suggested below to be implemented, I know some of them are really of the wall but Z should know the best.
My ideas to make it better
- Skill points. SS is quite point hungry and vitality gears mostly does not provide any Nightblade skill points. Getting Justifiable Ends points with Cold and Acid build is rather easy, but Vitality suffers a lot in this area. Even hardcapping SS is not easy. So some unrelated gears can made to become related.
-
+1 Nightblade points on Boneweave belt. Generally Vitality nightblade builds has problems on belt choice when you need Nightblade points. (Or, go below)
-
Add %Vitality damage to Spellbreaker Waistguard.
-
Change ‘‘Break Morale’’ points on Cursebearer Ring with Shadow Strike.
-
Add SS points to Sigil of the Depraved. Yeah I know, it doesn’t seem quite right but it can also help Chaos variant.
-
Justifiable Ends points on Mark of the Forbidden is in a weird spot. Mostly we choose Basilisk Mark to more skill points, and better stats with right affixes. If the medal wasn’t bloated already, I could suggest some other changes about it but right now idk what to do with it. But some other changes can make this medal to be first choice on Vitality SS setups.
- Damage, plain simple it requires some more damage. Whether as flat damage, vitality decay damage or CDR.
-
I think a Shadow Strike modifier can be fitted on Blugrug Axe.
-
Add some flat pierce damage modifier on Morgoneth set so it cannot be utilized by cold builds. Or increase the vitality RR on VoS.
-
Reaver’s Hunger can not be used on end-game vitality BH builds due to Blood Knight set amulet. This amulet is mostly used on SoC focused builds(even most of them use Soulcatcher). Ofc it’s BH modifiers should stay for the people who haven’t get complete BK set. So it’s ‘‘Dread’’ points is not crucial an can be changed with something else related to vitality SS? Maybe even a modifier? I would even suggest it can get %Acid damage when you consider, Deathguard is still not that good.
