Grim Dawn : Cabalist Pet Build (Lost Souls Set) SR 85++

I bring it today my kabulous build using the lost soul set the set evolves around boosting the ray skeleton skill of The Necromancer class and the hellhound skill of the occultist class together they really complement each other the skeletons don't have the highest health so they will have problems surviving boss encounters and that's where the hellhound comes into play it has a much higher Health pool a skill that generates threat so they pull Acro and even a skill that reduces the damage of enemies combined they make a really solid pet build being able to do shadow drone 80 plus and super bosses also since I wanted to make a skeleton army theme I included the Revenant devotion which summons an additional 6 skeletons so in total we will be running around with 20. just don't expect to have all of your skeletons up at all times High burst damage of bosses and high AOE damage can still kill them but that will really only start occurring at high shaded realm layers and super bosses I will go first over the skill and devotion choices and then over the item choices and how they relate to those skills starting with the Necromancer class summon skeletons will be one of our main paths with item bonuses we'll Max the skill out at 26 to maximize their damage and base Health under Legion will increase the amount of skeletons we summon and reduce the cooldown of the skill 20 points is the break point of getting a plus 7 to summons the last two points will only help reducing the cooldown in will of the crypt I put as many points as I can to increase the damage and armor one point in bone Harvest it will allow us to trigger in devotion skill and with the soul Harvest modifier we can get a 5 Second buff to our pets the base skill has a cooldown of 2.5 seconds so we can keep the buff up at all times just important to note is that you have to hit an enemy with the skill only casting the skill alone won't give you the buff I put one point in reap Spirit it gives us another way to apply one of our devotion skills and it's a pet so it gets all the benefits from our items and Buffs one point in spectral binding and then 10 out of 10 in spectral Roth at first I wasn't sure if I wanted to take this buff because the spectral rough skill gets triggered when enemies hit you not your pets but after some testing I found out that it really gets triggered a lot it also spreads well with its AOE effect and has only a 1.3 second cooldown it will really help us to maximize our pets damage decreasing the Vitality resists which will be our main damage type and the reduce attack speed will help us and our pets to survive better I put as many points as I could in Call of the Grave giving our pets another huge damage buff and I put one point in Mark of Torment giving a 36 damage absorption which will help a lot when we get hit by damaged spikes or if we ever get Acro I put one point in every skill of the blight fiend the pad itself has a high Health pool even with only one point invested it generates thread so it helps us and our other pets to survive better and it reduces defensive abilities so our pets are more likely to hit and crit lastly as many points as possible in master of death giving a huge damage increase to our pets and transforming a large chunk of their physical damage to Vitality damage we put one point in curse of royalty it allows us to activate another devotion skill and the reduced movement speed can be helpful but the vulnerability modifier will be more important mostly because it reduces Vitality resists which is our Pet's main damage type a few points in Blood of drink this effect will be applied to nearby allies which includes our pets so they can get the damage increase of the buff and we can also heal them with it and since the buff applies to our pads so does this modifier aspect of the Guardian it will increase their Vitality damage and it helps to max out hour and their poison resists I put one point in every skill of the summon familiar pad except for this one and this one I put five demand flash skill will heal our pets and this one gives a buff to us and our pets increasing the elemental resistance and giving them base Elemental damage and with the help of our Rings this Elemental damage will be completely converted to Vitality damage but more on that later a few points in the bonds of bismil buff to increase our pets health and then 12 out of 12 in manipulation to increase their damage and speed max out summon hellhound and then put one point in every skill of it with this one it generates additional thread and the last one reduces the target's damage I tried playing with a maxed out hellhound before where I put as many points as possible in all of its skills but the overall damage to every other pet I would lose isn't worth it it's much better using those points in damage increasing Buffs like blood of drink the bonds of Bismillah call of the grave and master of death in our devotions we want to reach revenant Dying God and ishtak I tried a bunch of different combinations but this setup feels the best for an all-round build ishtag doesn't seem that strong first the 25 damage absorption can be helpful they increase defense and offense that is always good but the one thing that makes this skill insanely valuable is the taunt ability when you get hit and Trigger the effect not only do you get damage absorption but also all of your pets get their taunt ability with this you nearly never get Acro and if you get it then only for a very short time I didn't know how strong this effect was until I played without it without it you will pull the aircraft bosses a lot and at higher shattered worms or super bosses that means you won't survive long let me show you the scale root now first I would put one point in purple and then max out Shepherd's crook we don't need a completion bonus from this devotion but the buff it provides will be very strong early on next put one point in yellow and then max out Panther giving us bonuses to our pets with the blue points we got we have access now to Hound Max it out for another Health increase to our pets and armor increase for us to reach the staff of radish we only need three more red points so put one point in red and then max out jackal next max out the stuff giving us in our pets defensive abilities resistances and damage to reach htac we still need some yellow and blue points so max out crane next it gives more resistances to our pets then you can max out lion giving more pet bonuses and with three points in eel we will unlock ishtag you can take the purple and yellow point out from The Middle and then put points in here with the turned ability you will have a much easier time surviving bind it to any permanent buff now we only need two more red points to reach Revenant and Dying God so max out Knight Helen it will give more damage bonuses to our pets with this we finally get access to revenant when we put points in here we get a nice Health bleach to our pets and the last skill will summon 6 skeletons that reduce our enemies resists I bind it to cause of royalty the completion bonus also gives us one more blue and red point so now you can take the red point back out of Crossroads with this we have exactly seven points left so we can max out Dying God giving him a bonus damage to our pets with this and this skill and the hungering void will also be another massive damage increase for them we will trigger it with bone Harvest for items we are using the full lost soul set their fourth set piece really pushes the skeletons from an average pet to being much more viable plus 60 Health 20 physical resist and an additional three summons is really amazing for them the component on our weapon will be the Seal of Might giving a passive buff to us and our pets which helps to maximize the resistances and for the augment I'm using bismillah's control giving a nice damage and armor boost to our pets there are other solid choices depending if you wanted more defense for yourself or your pets in the offend we are using the flesh swap archive it can roll very good benefits for our pets and our exact build setup the inherent damage increase to hellhound and reduce summoning time will be very helpful so even at damage spikes where the hellhound might die we can easily re-summon him for the component and augment I'm using the same ones as on the beacon I have two Alternatives if you wanted to be more tanky first the Lich guard Shield giving you some nice defensive stats and the inherent skill is very strong at 33 you get the 80 damage absorption for 5 seconds the other choice is the track guard which gives us also nice defense and the right skill increases we need in our setup including a plus one to all Necromancer skills our Helm gives an additional skeleton summon and reduces the summon cooldown for the component I'm using the sacred blading for the resistances and armor absorption I ended up with 92 absorption which is a great number to be at I want to mention that for the augments on all of your armor pieces you don't have to follow this guide because the resistances you lack will depend on the roles on your green items there is nothing much to say about the shoulders for the component I'm using Living Armor for resistances and armor absorption the last piece of the set is the amulet giving more cooldown reduction to the hellhound summon in combination with the offend I ended up with a 1.7 second cooldown The Amulet also boosts the L Hound with a good amount of fatality damage which is the main damage type we are focusing on for the component seal of ancestry giving a nice Health boost and damage absorption to us the augment is atep's Will giving another boost to our health and armor and the pad bonus will help to get our pets bleeding resist in a good spot the only resist that is a bit low is Pierce resist everything else is nearly maxed out or maxed out and we even have nearly a 40 physical resist which is amazing for rings I'm using two times the spirit binder cliff the damage conversion to Vitality will be very helpful so our hellhounds fire damage gets converted our familiar's Elemental buff is attack and the cold damage from our reap spirit this conversion in combination with the Vitality damage boost to our pets and the Vitality resist reduction from our debuffs really help to focus and maximize our DPS another reason why the spirit behind the ring is so good is the master of spirits Buffet grants and if you wear two of those Rings you can have two Buffs active at the same time increasing our pet damage immensely when we spam our curse of royalty our bone Harvest and reap Spirit we will easily trigger it I'm using the bloody Crystal on both of them giving a defensive boost and bleeding resist and on one ring I'm using mantis powder to max out their chaos resist and giving them a health boost and on the other one using the survivor's Ally to boost their damage and health for gloves we are using their bones given just Death Grips giving a plus two to the bounce of piecemeal buff and plus two to raise skeletons but what is even better is the bonusola pets with their physical damage conversion from the gloves in combination with the master of death buff we can convert 100 of our minions physical damage to vitality and the acid damage conversion will help to convert our blightvin's acid damage and the acid damage our pets get from Blood of drink on top of that we can raise up to three ghosts on enemy staff and with our Elemental damage conversion they will deal pure Vitality damage so those gloves are really insane for this setup for the component I'm using Enchanted Earth giving me health and armor the fin flesh griefs give some boost to applied fiend and hellhound a decent damage boost to pads and a 10 000 hit point Shield every 20 seconds to us the component will be the mark of Mark drogen for the health and movement speed the belt is the shadowfin's chord the plus one to our Necromancer and occult skills is super strong as an alternative you could use this belt giving plus one to all the cultist skills and depending on the rules some other great pet benefits this belt will also convert the elemental damage of our pets to Vitality so if you wanted to use one other ring then you can use this belt instead you could use for example the marrow band which is a good choice especially the grounded skill that summons a guardian with a toned ability and a lot of Health can be very useful for the pants I'm using the Bismillah SEC ones since they can give a nice oval stat boost to pets and are overall much better than any epic or legendary alternative I'm using the ancient armor plate as a component for the absorption and ammo increase for the chest armor we're using the necro Lord shroud it gives us skill points to our skeleton summons and it gives us another buff that increases our pets Vitality damage and health for the component I'm using Titan plating the Wendy cookies medal gives us an additional skeleton summon and depending on the rules some very nice boosts to our main pet skills I'm using the Roomba on topaz here with it I can bring my stun resist to 80 percent lastly my Relic choice is the mock broken one it gives another defensive buff on top of mod damage and resists to our pets and the plus one to all skills I show you now measure a dragon 85 run from the feeding of it the build can easily run up to 90 maybe even sheratwell 100. thank you foreign foreign
