What's a build that can do dungeons and SR <40 reasonably?

@Maya do you have any budget conjurer builds?

Preferably that don’t require revered status of factions.

Do note that the level up section* is with a Solo Occultist instead of a Conjurer. So, just get enough points in Shaman for a 16/16 Briarthorn and then focus on the Occu side till later on.

The guide also has a budget Conjurer, but that is a level 100 GT link with faction gear.

*Level up section or build diary for Occu is in the Beginner section of the guide, near the end.

That is some serious work there.

@Artemix: It seems like you want to be able to farm these legendary items with ease.

That is a pipe dream mate. All we can do is tell you what the easiest way is. But that doesn’t mean that the process isn’t going to be tedious.

Your other alternative is to use GDstash, because it’s also tedious to farm mats for trading purposes.

GDstash is a no-no.

Other than for testing builds purposes I will never understand why people use it.

Btw, one of the reasons why I’m asking this is because I remermber that like a year and a half ago I had this very budget IIRC vindicator, that only had one good item, a cool bow, and with storm spread I was farming quite quickly everything, without any endgame set pieces.

That’s why I think that there are some builds that don’t require full legendry sets to be effective.

Too bad Templar is not one of them for what I see.

I get that. I had a very similar mindset when I first started.

But eventually, GD stopped being an RPG, and moreso an avenue to be creative. You get to test concepts, deconstruct sets to do funky things, etc. etc.

How do you think the community has uncovered so much of the games more subtle mechanics :stuck_out_tongue:

There’d be a lot less people giving you advice if it weren’t for GDstash.

Right. Actually many builds can do this. It’s a shame you picked a templar. :confused:

@Maya I was reading your guide, why don’t you mention Primal Instinct pets?, IIRC those are very good.

They aren’t. Hence why.
They are supposed to be, but I have never experienced a situation where they proved better than the other Relic Choices.

Oh I see, I was just remembering a post from @sigatrev from a long time ago. But maybe I’ confused.

He and I make our builds very differently. He goes for the fastest Crucible Clear times, where Primal Instinct might help.

But I focus on Superbosses first and foremost, then SR and only then Crucible. Even then, I focus on Crucible with extra spawns and without blessings or banners. So under those conditions, the pets from Primal Instinct do not help at all.

Also, a lot has changed from then vs now. So even if you want to focus on the Crucible Clear speed, I don’t know how effective P.Instinct will be. You will have to ask Siggy or someone else for that.

@Maya So my conjurer is level 58, and my bird is a potato.

When does it start doing some relevant damage? (all bird skills maxed)

Do you have resistance reduction?

Mhhh… I have some devotions that do that, like crown. And occultists also has some stuff.

Btw I just put Ancestor relic and now I kill stuff faster.

That’s the issue. Ragin tempest + widow.

Yes, you need RR. All the RR in the world.

Well not that much… for eg, I managed to do fine with just my Occu. But I can’t give more specific advice without looking at a GT link.

Btw, the +100% elemental damage applied to pets affects the Blizzard devotion when the pets cast it?.

Also, what about weapon % damage?, is it yours or pets?, in that case Koorvak is good or bad?.

Pet scaled Pets don’t get Weapon dmg afaik, so no idea how that part works. If I had to guess, it is just your weapon dmg or nothing at all.

But as for the rest, it takes the pet stats and bonuses.

Oh btw, I like the combo of Natures Guardian and Healing Rain.

Makes you quite sturdy in fights, I barely die.

So I was thinking on replacing turtle for something more damage oriented.
