Welcome to the forum and to grim dawn!
Here you should find lightning build you will fancy
Guess who’s back with the third edition of our top20 softcore list !
After almost six months of creating and testing builds of new and old we finally arrive here! Game has changed quite a bit since last time so did the candidates. This time, we explored the realm of Chinese Grim Dawn community. Special thanks to @mi023 who was our connect into the world of powerful, weird and beautiful builds from the other side of the globe. As you can see quite a few builds that made it were initially created …
Remember that there will soon be a patch update and realease of a new expansion so this “list” will be subject to big changes.
Anyway, as you can see on that list, the lightning retalation warder is on top. But it is not super-flashy. You can also see a lightning build on spot 22.
Here you can find beginner and leveling guides

Foreword
Top 20 (21) thread was posted recently (somewhat) ranking the plethora of builds we’ve managed to test. According to the established traditions, I should post a thread with information on how to play them before the endgame. The issue is, most of these builds are hybrids or require specific items to shine; then there are retal builds and pets, which are notoriously difficult to level. Compared, to our previous rankings, it’s much more difficult to play them the same way from scratch. …
Hope you find something you like and can aim for.
