Since Kymon can one shot many players with melee hits, you want to stay far away and let your pets do the work, or equip an item that gives you an extra ranged power to use while you hide in the area's entrance. First up, the only place you are really going to struggle is with Father Kymon near the end of Forgotten Gods, who will be difficult to overcome with this build on epic and ultimate modes. So long as you buy faction items or equip items that that increase poison resistance, you'll even do very well in the harder Ashes Of Malmouth content like the Ancient Grove sealed dungeon. Of course there are ways to tweak the skills if you want to focus more on pets than melee attacks, as Reaping Strike and Necrotic Edge can be swapped for maxing out the Blight Fiend and Briarthorn upgrade skills instead. The goal with this build is to always have 8 skeletons, a briarthorn, a blight fiend, and a primal spirit to thin out the enemy while you go to town with a 2 handed weapon. Grim Dawn - The Light of Empyrion - DW Melee Saboteur (SR 80)īe sure to pick a devotion constellation tied to whatever 2 handed weapon type you end up using Rhowan's Scepter gives a ton of internal trauma damage for maces.

Internal trauma damage bypasses armor and continues dealing damage over time, making it very helpful with big tanky bosses. It may seem strange to have two caster classes focused on physical attacks, but trust me, it works wonders. There's a dual focus here, first on summoning creatures to keep the enemy busy, then on two handed weapon attacks with internal trauma damage. Based on personal play style preference, this is my current favorite build, although your mileage may vary if you don't care for melee combat or using a ton of pet summons. While that's still a potentially viable build just for fun, we can't recommend it as an actual 'best' build anymore at this point. Unfortunately, the latest patches have heavily nerfed chaos damage and items that boost chaos pet damage. Before diving into specific mastery combos and skill load outs, first let's clarify what we mean by 'best'.

With those changes in mind, its time to update our guide to the best Grim Dawn builds.
