That reminds me of another weakness of the build, if you want to call it that. It is very power hungry due to the Reap Spirits. Long battles require chugging a tonic to bring up energy.
Iâll give it a go later tonight.

^Try this. I didnât touch blight fiend, hounds, or birbs because I donât know how effective they are. But for sure Iâd max out soul harvest + skeles.
EDIT: If you have 13 skeles, it makes sense to me to hardcap the 3rd node too. But Iâm not sure where to get the points from.
I donât have all the skill points available yet. I still need to run SR ultimate for those. That is why grimtools shows I have unspent ones.
Ah crap.
Iâd drop hell hound then. If what maya and sig have told me is to be believed, hell hounds are terrible.
IMHO, Bonds of Bysmiel from which you robbed points is important for skeleton survival.
Doesnât the fire proc benefit from the Hound auraâs fire damage enhancement? Iâm not an expert on mechanics.
I donât know mate. Iâm just as clueless as you are with pet builds. (EDIT: probably more clueless, tbh)
My only good one was a charizard. And that was on a colorless gameboy
2nd EDIT: This is what the dummies are for
Not to beat a dead horse, the best way to learn is to build and run one from the ground up. Nothing beats firsthand experience. And Iâm sure with your mindset and attention to detail, you wonât have any trouble. Point is that Cabalists are relatively easy.
Iâm working up a Dervish currently, in between breaks farming with my Cabalist, and it is much more of a piano character than the Cabalist ever was. Iâm in agreement with Mayaâs lazy build philosophy.
Agree completely. Piloting pet builds isnât something which excites me though. Thatâs the biggest reason why Iâve stayed away from them.
Iâd love to learn the mechanics behind them, and fiddle around with the crafting process, but I very much so prefer piloting glass cannons.
If you like to kite, pet builds may be for you.
If you like to run around and pick up loot while someone else does the fighting, pet builds may be for you.
If you like to smack things with a big stick, pet builds may not be for you.
From what i gobbeled together from sigatrev builds, the following skills buff the pets and should be maxed out for max damage
soul harvest, storm spirit (birbs) , hellfire (doggies), rotting fumes (fiends), Manipulation
Btw, if anyone wants a pet build of a particular kind which doesnât exist yet, feel free to PM me or just @Maya anywhere in the forum with your request. I might not get the time to test it, but can atleast provide you with something to work with instead of starting from scratch.
And I have a solo pet Shaman that smacks Ravager in the butt with a small stick. I can easily change it into a big stick if needed.
@ Maya
Did you get around to testing a DW Korvaakâs Burning Blade concept - fire pets? It was a while ago.
@Maya so that I get pinged
As for DWâing Korv BB, I havenât. Mostly because Bysmielâs Mindweaver exists and I donât really want to lose out on an Off-hand.
But there are also other reasons.
All in all, outside of going for it just to get the fire pets theme, I canât see another reason. And I pretty much every build that canât faceroll stuff, so yeahâŚ
So if we are going to convert into a single dmg type, I rather just go the Ultos + Kelp Rings Lightning route with Trinkets/Beastcallers.
All that said, I can make one if you want me to. Just let me know of the class combo you want to go for.
@Maya i would have to look, but im fairly certain I sent you a cold pet build awhile back. I dont think i ever got around to testing it
Aye, you did. Winter king one. Also a DW Deceiver with 2x Mindweavers.
yea found it https://www.grimtools.com/calc/a2E43G3N
the dual mindweavers one wasnt terrible i remember⌠but it didnt rek things either
I kind of wish that WK sword would either get 100% conversion or some CDR or both. Somehow bring it more in line with Witching Hour in terms of power.
All that said, I can make one if you want me to. Just let me know of the class combo you want to go for.
Well, I was hoping you might have tried something along these lines:
With the recent patch tweak to Korvaakâs and PrimalâŚ
I thought Iâd note a potential pyro pet idea that is all fire: Swarmling Pyro (+Hellhound). crazy swarmling + Hellhound pyro
the swarmlings have 100% fire damage conversion and in theory this should extend to their retaliation:
- strong fire attack 350-ish fire at 1000%ish damage.
- strong retaliation (2000 at 1000%).
- throw mines or some other skill to proc the swarmlings.
I thought you might have tested a version, but perhaps it doesnât fit with your minimal requirements.
Same stuff I said in that thread Looking For A Pyromancer Build
Now if Pets had Ret to Attack somewhere, somehow⌠That might change things.
