This leads to the creation of a nightmarish build that can withstand waves of enemies on its own through the wall of minions it can put up along with its health-draining abilities. RitualistĬombining abilities from the Necromancer and Shaman, the Ritualist is a sort of drain tank that also has the ability to summon minions to do its bidding. However, as is the nature of gamers, some of the best builds in the game have been fully optimized, putting them a cut above the rest. This is what makes Grim Dawn comparable to some of the Best MMOs and MMORPGs on PC. Pretty much any build with some synergy in it can succeed in battle, and with the thousands of unique possibilities available for players through near-endless loot, players will certainly end up with their own vision of a build that fits their playstyle. A warlock just chaos and vitality with the orb converting fire and it's always easier to focus on fewer damage types.Versatility is the name of the game for Grim Dawn. A spell binder works with lightning, fire, and aether.
#Grim dawn spellbinder Patch#
If you have a blood orb the last patch was really nice. That doesn't mean there isn't support for aar spellbinders, there totally is, it's just more common with drops to see it warlock oriented. There is more gear support for warlocks just because they are a pre-expansion combination. I guess some other things worth mentioning: I'm not a huge fan of devestation's long cool down and it doesn't heal you so I go lock and juice sigil.Įnergy consumption it's pretty much gear on both and from arcanist side. sigil and procs from pox (like linking bat or someting but I guess binders can use ill omen). Overall I like lock.ĭamage on the move: Well it's devestation vs. You can do some time dilation+ shenanigans with mark of torment, and that's awesome, but it will cost a lot of dps to go that way. Spectral wrath is nice but I prefer possession's damage absorbtion more. Taking a hit: Spellbinder has more hit points (spectral binding) but no strong self heal (warlocks can get blood dreeg and drop sigil). AAR characters need to find answers to those. I'm going to make a few general comments about AAR that should help this overall make sense from a survivvability standpoint.īasically, AAR has a difficult time with the following: taking a hit (and bouncing back), doing damage on the move, & energy consumption. Damage is actually hard to say but I think spellbinder works out a bit better than (having access to -rr aether as part of the mastery). Warlock has a harder time getting decent hit points for ultimate but is more survivable, overall, I think (beat AOM ultimate with a warlock and have played with an elite level spellbinder) due to damage absorbtion and life steal. and you're going for chaos+vit damage, so you can easily pump sigil of consumption to a decent damage level to cull groups of weaker minions and for the the life steal healing between maivens sphere, possession and aspect of the guardian, you have lots of %absorb and a decent chunk of physical resistance.

I think warlock is the obvious choice if you want to play with the transmuted chaos/vitality ray. if you have a good chunk of aether% from gear, you might even switch to star pact as the exclusive skill later on for the cooldown reduction (to get closer to fully mirror > mark of torment coverage) don't know if harbinger of souls is worth picking over reckless power.

spectral wrath has that aether damage debuff and if you stack enough cooldown reduction, you can probably have an almost full uptime "rotation" of mirror + mark of torment, which should make you a lot tougher, specially in "boss fights". and you have death sentence (modifier on word of pain) that lowers aether resistance and possibly also the (aether transmuted) storm box as a secondary aether/lightning spell you have to stand still to channel your laser beam anyway, so you might as well stand still in an inquisitors seal and enjoy the flat damage absorb. which is actually a pretty strong platform for a ray build. If you're just going to focus on AAR, you can also add mage hunter (arc+inq) to the list.
