While the gameplay videos were so cool I am lvl 51 on hardcore and its going pretty bad.
I admit I dont have any good items, no legendaries either.
I feel squishy and there is no single target ability. (Like the amazing gem from Path of exile concentrated effect). Doombolt is so far away.
I guess Ill need a tanky toon for farming ultimate first.
Starting a build like this on HC is pretty masochistic IMO. I’m surprised you made it to level 51 to be honest. You must have been playing extremely careful with your eyes glued to your HP bar the entire time. This is coming from personal experience of getting killed just for making extremely minor mistakes like taking my eyes off my HP bar for just 1 second, or making a minor positioning error, or not reacting fast enough, or pulling multiple packs with an AOE by mistake. Or finding out Fabius is there 0.2 seconds too late.
Hey Crilow!
I wonder this build is still viable for v.1.0.0.4 patch? Maybe minor updates? Thanks for build btw.
ok Shar’zul was 52sec would be atleast 20 sec faster if i just use an Aether Cluster and Alkamos was 30 sec. Even Moose only takes like 2min to kill it fast enought for me, i mean yea there are a lot of builds that are faster but i enjoy my character :).
you either level with Skyshard or with Dreeg’s Evil Eye + Modifier, Albrecht’s Aether Ray shouldnt be picked up before you can sustain enought Energy and are atleast 75.
I wasn’t actually planning on making another new character, but my little brother started a new one, so I needed one too to level with him in coop, and this caught my attention.
I’m curious about the aether-chaos synergy though, and how it pairs with fire elemental damage. So I tried to come up with a chaos conversion, and plan to swap out Devastation for Sigil:
Do you think something like this could work?
Yeah…I’m kind of confused as to why you would go AAR Warlock withOUT getting tainted beam and sigil, as these synergize SO well and help keep you alive. The one major drawback is that all of the endgame Cult stuff is Vit/Chaos based…
That the thing really, my only real point of concern with the build I proposed. The skills synergise well, but everywhere else ingame aether and chaos are treated as complete opposites.
Still though, Devastation looks great on a Sorcerer, but I can’t see it beating Sigil on a Warlock, especially not with the health output of Sigil. Sigil is also very useable against single targets, apart from providing a means of AoE.
cause i lose alot of dmg going chaos
if you want to play sigil i would recommend going for a conjurer instead
Why?
The whole point of synergies is that they enhance eachother, so why would going chaos cause you to lose damage?
I’m not hell bend on playing Sigil. I’ve allready got a Sigil Pyromancer. I just don’t see a reason why you wouldn’t on a AAR Warlock.
because i dont like the sigil skill, and i deal more dmg with aether cause i have a lot more %dmg and agrivix malice deals more aether dmg.
Right,…
No offense, but we were talking about whether it would work, not whether you like it. Also, you mentioned “losing a lot of damage, going chaos”. If you’re merely losing a lot of damage, because you don want to use a skill, obviously that doesn’t count.
Chaos damage has some poor legendary gear support… The clairvoyant set provides some nice chaos boost, but strangely both the chest and shoulder pieces convert chaos damage to aether. Seems a bit strangle to boost a damage type, but convert it to another damage type thus making the boost kinda of dimensioned…(and completely worthless if you use Abretch’s Duality rings) There is a lot better gear support for aether damage… So sticking with aether on the ray will give you more DPS due to the gear support…
Finally a build for my clairvoyant set!
What medal would you recommend aside from Badge of Mastery?
I have a +5 Albrecht’s one, but I’m capped at 26 points even without it.
Using Mark of Anathema to boost up Reckless Power and has all-round solid stats as well.
Hello. Can you show how you melt down some nemesis’ on HC Ultimate? Fabius, for example?
i cant because i dont play Grim Dawn atm
is there any link for skill build without gear?
I’m near level 76 with almost all the items of the build (missing hat and medal), but I’m having mana problems. The damage isn’t too good yet (18 points in AAR and 20 points the upgrade) but the mana cost is still high. I’m going to expend more points in AAR, but I don’t know how this will work. I need further trials.
Greetings
