Turn a basic fireball into a giant blob of flames that arcs into the air at a slower pace but for massive damage increase. Then as I keep playing if I find equipment that makes any of these skills go any higher then I pull points out and move them to something else? Not sure how often you update or when this item appeared, but sofar it seems a huge boost to the dual wield skill Youre welcome! My recommendation is to build out your new version in GrimTools (based off the original template) and compare OA/DA, and other factors, and then test it out from a mechanics perspective definitely let me know how it goes! Hey Kit! As you continue to build your equipment repository for your account, youll find leveling and surviving to be a lot easier I hope this helps! At least one piece of the set drops every time i play. It is my understanding (I may be wrong) that standard epics and legendaries (with a few exceptions) have no increased chance from any mobs, Thanks everyone for all the information. I have not seen a guide for an Apostate. I tried SIR BLOODYDOTS and I loved it, so when I finally got the expansions recently, I thought Ill try MISS MELTYCAKES. I also leveled your Mr. Stabby and seemed to have a lot more durability and no problems. Just wanted to say I appreciate the work youve put into this and continue to put into this. Thank you. Appreciate the builds, Its been a looong time since Ive played and D3 got boring. I havent played MELTYCAKES in awhile, but if I recall, those constellations are base constellations necessary for the points to get to the end-game constellations and the crit damage and OA modifiers provide more support for BiS and end-game than the boons from Manticore. Trying to get murmur in there too, even if partially. Thank you so much for the kind words and support! Remember, if you can craft the helmet of a set, you can transmute those helmets to other pieces. Meanwhile there are other constellations like that Manticore that seem to have a bunch of poison bonuses. If you die, its probably because your resists were low. In your skills you mentioned leveling to the soft cap, which if I understood it you meant leveling it to the point where additional gear will put it to the intended cap? Item Sets - Official Grim Dawn Wiki To have max resists at that level and still encounter issues is a head scratcher; I remember when I did the build (twice) I didnt encounter any issues it melted everything like butter, including bosses, and I think I got to max level deathless (or near deathless). I cant remember the specifics of the Ravager fight, but Reinan or Rekt would know. Id really have to dive into things again to determine the reasons and if your concepts might be better (which they might!). I rode with Sanctuary for a relic up until Necropolis and then switched to Malediction and the dps shot up to 36k dps. The third phase focuses on maximizing the Nightblade while pursuing Soft Caps. Seems like shoulders for that set are hardest to find, I found all the other pieces even doubles of some like the shield and still no shoulders.
