It’s also important to remember when you summon skeletons, it’s random if you get an archer, warrior or mage. The ground-based Aether damage from AoM can be quite challenging, but once you get the pet Aether resistances up, they do very well. As with most pet builds, ground-based AoE damage is the most dangerous and can quickly kill all of your little buddies, which is why resists are very important. Once the regeneration from Blood of Dreeg and the Devotions is established, you rarely have to recast your pets except during tough boss fights. Your pets (namely Skeletons) murder everything as you run through the content and pick up the juicy loot. I believe this is not only one of the fastest leveling builds in the game, it’s also one of the safest. SIR CRUNCHYBONES Skelemancer Cabalist is a very strong pet build with a mini-army of minions that quickly and efficiently dispatch your enemies while you pick up the loot. The build has excellent AoE and solid single-target damage, and once your devotions are complete, it rips through all of the core content with ease. And while everything is bleeding to death, you get the beat on larger targets with your giant 2-handed weapon. SIR BLOODYDOTS features great crowd control, vitality leech and bleed damage, additional supportive healing (Wendigo & Blood of Dreeg) paired with resistance reduction, this build is a DoT powerhouse that loves shredding everything to pieces. So this is great for players who want a simple build that does great damage and doesn’t require piano skills to play and survive. The only additional skills used are War Cry, Word of Renewal and Inquisitors Seal. THUMPYSHARTS is VERY easy to play, supporting the simple right-click shooting termination of most enemies with Cadence. Since then, I’ve wanted to do an alternative gun guide for a build that’s solid, fun and capable of pursuing end-game content. One of my favorite builds is the Dual Wield Elemental Purifier, and was the first build guide I did. Gun builds are some of the most fun in Grim Dawn, blasting targets from a distance and piercing hoards of enemies, often killing them because they can get close. We also have fantastic resistance reduction through devotions and our buddies from Celestial Presence and Night’s Chill.Īlternative versions of this build have killed Ravager in under 1:45 and cleared Crucible 170 in under 5 minutes.


Using Righteous Fervor as our main attack paired with a number of heavy-hitting devotions covering both single target and AoE, our biggest defensive layer is killing everything quickly and efficiently. This build delivers, and is great at boss farming!įocusing on Acid and Poison melee damage, MISS MELTYCAKES can embrace both facetanking and hit & run techniques provided through the Nightblade class while also ensuring great DPS and defensive support through high resists, DA and armor absorption. Whether it’s stabbing your enemies with giant pincers or cold steel, shooting elemental guns of death, tossing flesh-melting bombs, commanding an army of ravenous undead, electrocuting everything on the screen, smashing with a life-leeching 2-handed club, shooting a beam of aether murder, or summoning mounds of filth to obliterate your enemies, we’ve got you covered!Īs a player who loves Damage Over Time (DoT), I wanted to create a solid melee boss-hunting and “melting” build that could do all content and was also capable of doing end-game super bosses while also being powerful with self-found gear (prior to acquiring the best in slot legendaries).

This means the builds perform excellently on self-found equipment and can farm ultimate to acquire the best-in-slot legendary items. To help new and returning players, I have put together a collection of ten detailed build guides that are fantastic starters, can do nearly all content, and are capable of farming their own end-game gear.

GRIM DAWN MAP FORGOTTEN GODS HOW TO
While top tier build publication is an excellent reality for those who are experienced with Grim Dawn and have a huge repository of legendary set gear, the majority of builds shared with the community are complex end-game builds that often leave new players in the dust, confused and wondering where to start, how to progress, and most importantly: how to equip. Grim Dawn is one of the best ARPGs ever made, resulting in continued growth with the latest Forgotten Gods expansion, and a very dedicated following of hardcore gamers pushing the internal mechanics to its limits.
