Will O Wisp - Pet Cabalist

So, does anyone know what it feels like to be mauled to death by ghosts while some flappy birds shoot lightning at you and during all that there is some bloated naked corpse farting in your face?

Callagadra knows!

Major update to the build. We lost Skeletal Servant, took out Ill Omen and Mark of Torment because I was too lazy to use them anyway, maxed out Mend Flesh for maximum heals, swapped Belt for more pet resists, got moggy’s ardor relic, etc.

Hello Maya. As I understand it, this build is based on the necromancer conscription birds and ocultist raven.
Don’t you have a cabalist build based on a non-temporary pets?
Sorry for my English, not the carrier.

The pet from Reap Spirit has less than 3 seconds cool down with a 27 second duration.

So, technically they are pretty much permanent.

I do not have a different Cabalist build.

Hi Maya! Have you tried Lokarr with this build? I’ve done a couple of attempts with skellies and it ended poorly and was wondering if this build has an easier go of it.

Lokarr should be doable since Ghosts literally can’t die, unlike skeletons.

That said, I haven’t tried it though. If you have a character with Lokarr unlocked then put the character files in a Zip/Rar, upload it somehwere and PM me the link, if you want me to have a go at it. To be precise, I need the map folder.

I kind of started over with FG, so none of my characters have done the secret quest. I am too lazy to do the steps and especially hate the part where you have to lure that zombie guy to open the portal.

When I get home I will do just that as I am interested to hear your take. Can you be more specific on the directory to find what you need?

It should be the location where your GD saves are located > your character name > levels_world001.map (I need this entire folder).

If you are using Steam and have Cloud Saving enabled, then you would probably have to disable it and then find the save manually.

I use GoG, so for me it is in Documents > My Games > Grim Dawn.

Hey, made something similar some time ago but based on Ghoul set and Blightfiend (except Bysmiel and birbs ofcourse). Updated it today a little based on your guides.

I don’t want to make new topic for build which is similar to yours, could you check it? You are pet specialist so your opinion matters for me :wink:

Uber bosses, +75SR etc viable atm.

I’d personally tweak it like this: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/4NOvEAXZ

You should get more damage that way.

Btw, it is a pretty different build to mine in terms of concept :stuck_out_tongue:

So feel free to post it as it would mean more choices for players looking for such builds and that is always a good thing :smiley:

3p Ghol bonus isn’t that impactful when you’re converting most of your poison to elemental. Fiendflesh Mantle might be a better shoulder for you.

Foul Eruption triggers on player kills, so it’s not very useful on pet builds.

A lot of Blight Fiends power comes from his skills, max them if you can (in order of usefulness, hardcap Blight Burst, soft cap Rotting Fumes, hardcap Blight Fiend, hard cap Rotting Fumes)

Blight Fiends are much better offensively if you use Unstable Anomaly and Mythical Circlet of the Great Serpent.

Definitely put Familiar at 26/16.

Hi Maya, what do you think about this Lost Souls build?

grimtools=1NXo8kPZ

For the devotions I used your build and modified it to include as much vitality damage as possible for pets.

(Sorry for the link, recently registered in the site and still I can’t post full links in the forum)

What do you think about this build grimtools=1NXo8kPZ ? It’s a pet cabalist based on the lost souls set.

(I recently registered to the site so still I can’t post links, sorry)

At first sight, needs more Resistance Reduction. Much more.

Unfortunately, I can’t be of much help since Skeleton based builds are not my forte.

Is this your strongest pet build? Looking for the best pet build for HC

@Maya @sigatrev thank you very much for advices, it was big improve for the build, decided to post it :wink:

So i switched my cab to this build and working on the gear. One thing i noticed though my bird dies alot. Is it cause of natures guardian? https://www.grimtools.com/calc/dVbdoE3N is my cabs layout not sure what i am doing wrong if anything

You have zero pet aether resistance. Try using Menders Powder augment.

Is 1 point in mark of torment not worth it? Or does it not work for some reason?

Thanks for the build, i dont have the full bysmiel set just yet but even then im doing very well farming with this build, the 4 ghosts hit very hard.
