Looking for best build (or any build) that uses two bonescythes for 0 second cool down bone harvest. Thanks!

Nice modification (personally I started a Reaper theorycraft with Morgoneth set) but for an attempt to make the best build losing Devouring Swarm with its 59% Vit RR (when for example Calla and Ravager have 126 Vit res) and Totems is too much in my opinion.

Getting more Phys res if it’s needed is not a problem on this Ritualist

  • 2 Seals of Mights in weapons
  • Formidable pants
  • maybe even 2 nodes of Berserker devotion

and you get 16% Physical resistance right there with little DPS loss. However it’s an “initial” theorycraft (usually max dps for me) meaning it might possibly need some tweaking for Energy Regen, Phys res, DA etc. But also it might not, hard to say without testing :thinking:

I’d also like to theorycraft and test a variant with Dying God devotion instead. I should be able to try it after I’m finished with a different build I’m currently plaing.

and just to have three - a Cabalist - https://www.grimtools.com/calc/gZwqAvq2

(but like you said, the loss of resist reduction - and totems - will surely have quite some impact. While the higher damage and attack speed will likely partially cover the lower resist reduction, not sure if BoD / Scales and higher physical resistance are enough to cover the totem loss and lower health.)

Don’t really have anything to contribute to the theorycrafting, but i didn’t know spam Bone Harvest was a thing.

  • The thing is… Bone Harvest scales with Casting Speed so you need to redo your build :laughing:
  • Also I don’t want to pick at your build but what you mean by “higher damage”? Some stat or skill Because think I have higher flat damage (on Blood Pact + Mogdrogen’s Pact + higher % Chaos conversion for Abomination) and more % Vit damage. Although it’s close so not that it matter that much, I just wondered what you mean.
  • some other stats in my GT I’d like to explain

    • I tried to get very high OA because it matters to have higher hit chance on superbosses I measure my builds against (it’s very optional of course and just a personal preference / bragging rights to optimize for supes damah). You need like 3550 to have 100% on Ravager / Calla but you can benefit from pots and item debuffs.

    • maybe I won’t need that much Phys res with 20k Health buffer and all this healing but again, I’m willing to bump it if needed and if Callagadra is a struggle.

  • another thing that came to my mind while theorycrafting and some might not think about

    • you probably only need flat damage on the right hand Bonescythe which is used for Bone Harvest (? haven’t tested in-game) and you can forgo flat damage on the left hand one (and get more Casting Speed there for example)? :thinking:

Btw I haven’t played a Vit caster in years I believe so I really don’t have an intuition for how much of what is needed.

It can happen, I remember some prominent Discord user not realizing it either. It was introduced in 1.2 I think.

I always fail at this, always :rofl:
(it is at least easy to get around 190% casting speed - but nevertheless, I still think it was not so bad for a one minute concept - but not good neither)

I meant Bone Harvest of course. It’s not easy to accept you can spam Bone Harvest it seems.

I know it’s 0.1 sec skill cooldown build but honestly feels like 0 and I am kinda glad it’s not absolute 0 because of energy crysis.

There might be a slight conflicting damage type between vitality and acid but acid takes priority here in my theory craft.

Tested this build, killed Ravager of Minds without problem as well as like 10 deaths in SR 90 but I wasn’t the best pilot there either… you can technically cast and run and if you feel tranky for short while u spam bone harvest. Pretty fun idea, thanks OP for noticing that it’s possible. :smiley:

switch weapon hands, BH scales on MH iirc, so with bonescythe in right hand you’re wasting the base dmg

Not sure if I remember correctly, but I think -recharge was moved to 4p during Public Test because of this build

I remember there was also an Aether version

I just started the cold one but then I noticed the conversions on Bonescythe probably kill the viability of this option and you’re better to just play a -2s recharge one Reaper, Level 100 (GD 1.1.9.0) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator
