Grim Dawn AoM - Gargabol and Nemesis farming Duck King 2018-04-04 | Using a burn retaliation commando. Still missing a few items but the build itself isn't likely to change drastically. Currently he's my resident farmer. Like other retaliation builds it struggles against enemy spellcasters etc.Build in vidgrimtools.com/calc/gZwKjqqZGargabol - 7:41Moosilauke - 13:07Fabius - 18:09Gabal Thunn- 21-50 (I find this guy harder than Grava)Grava Thul - 26:13
Auto revives with Eggster bug CoL2 Duck King 2023-06-18 | Deployed SS bottom right.After egg animation there's a chance that your hero will resurrect themselves. They will not be visible during replays however.Note: I've been advised that this occurs with devilish dagger as well but as mentioned in vid, I am not using an RV/Enchantress.

Grim Dawn FG v1.1.3.0 - Ancient Grove with Canister Bomb Defiler Duck King 2019-06-23 | Another meme build. But I like fart-assing around with casual builds.grimtools.com/calc/4ZDz3ka2
Unsuccessful Shattered Realm level 75 attempt - Grim Dawn FG Duck King 2019-04-21 | To be honest, I'm surprised I got to 70 with this build. I pretty much need all 3 shrines "blue, green, yellow" to stand a chance. The "red and white" shrines I consider to be a death sentence and avoid them every time. Having said that this is the only build which I have which had the ability to push this far. My tank builds can't push past 50 and my other LMB builds don't heal fast enough to mitigate the damage taken.grimtools.com/calc/4ZDR6KQ2Obviously there are better greens to be picked up. I don't like to hack my items though. If I can't legitimately find it in game then I don't use it.I think I may just farm from shards 65 - 70 until I can come up with a new farmer.
Grim Dawn 1.0.7.1 - Edge of Reality with Burn focused Blitz and Health regen Commando Duck King 2018-12-31 | grimtools.com/calc/nZonykvVNot much to say. Tried to see how far I could stack health regen without gimping the build. Clear time is dismal but fun as you don't have to worry about enemy CC effects.Used 2 health potions against Lokarr but didn't have to. I could have just disengaged and counted to 5 then re-engaged. etc.
Grim Dawn 1.0.7.1 - Edge of Reality + Lokarr battle with Rain Sorceress Duck King 2018-12-18 | grimtools.com/calc/RZRGkP9NAfter getting a Mythical Herald of the Apocalypse I decided to try my luck against Lokarr. (Took a whopping 5 minutes to finally take him down).Edit: I realised after making this video that I had Elemental Storm bound to stun jacks which didn't help my case at all. I'm still using the same build but with elemental storm bound to flashbang instead.
Grim Dawn - Nuker Sorceress (AKA Rain build) end game AoM Duck King 2018-12-01 | grimtools.com/calc/RVvoyOmZFinally got around to finishing my old Nuker Sorceress. I respecced out of OFF not because it doesn't work on bosses but because the most dangerous enemies late game resist it completely (but are still susceptible to stun). I ended up taking Concussive Bomb for this reason. I really wanted the pure elemental devastation but Outcast's Secret is arguably better as it allows you to cast devastation more often. Still had fun with the build regardless. Just missing faction rep to grab Ravager's Eye and Sylvarria's Essence. Also missing a Mythical Herald of the Apocalypse and maybe better greens. Other than that, onto the next character.
Nemesis farming with Firestrike Elementalist Duck King 2018-11-05 | grimtools.com/calc/4ZDX74wZNormally I skip Grava. If RNG works against you he will spawn next to an Arcane hero and block off your exits. I got out of that by a sheer miracle.Valdaran - 0:41Moosilauke - 8:49Grava - 22:15 I had to kite like I never kited before

Ancient Grove attempt with Ranged Savagery + Mortar Trap Elementalist Duck King 2018-05-07 | grimtools.com/calc/m238D0nV - build in vidI had a few goes trying to beat the death room with this build but he's just too squishy. Only my tanks and a few of my other builds can do it no problem. On the other hand, this build had the easiest time against Gargabol because he doesn't have to stay in his face.
2018 01 27 1820 59 Duck King 2018-01-30 | Testing of my defiler end-game Ultimate. Can't tell what the hell killed me at around 17:00grimtools.com/calc/0V0wjwy2
Grim Dawn AoM - Grava attempt with tanky physical Mortar Trap build Duck King 2018-01-11 | grimtools.com/calc/62a6EebVTried out Grava using a Beronath Reforged physical Mortar Trap build. Was trying to time my attacks till after he threw his nullification projectiles.It's interesting watching the "impaired aim" effects on the Mortar Blasts. They were all over the place.
Grim Dawn AoM - Canister Bomb + Drain Essence Defiler Duck King 2018-01-02 | Quick vid of my Defiler in Ultimate Steps of Torment. He has roughly 95% Vitality to Fire conversion.I got taken out by Alkamos when he had a sneeze of health left (hell, damn, fart!!). Found it hard to keep my health up with this build. A few core items still missing but I foresee getting him to maybe 12,000/13,000 if and when I find these items.Drain Essence seems to be terrible damage source, I may get rid of it after all. The idea was to make a "Burn" focused build but with the current setup that's not really possible it struggles to maintain 50K DoT's. If I manage to find Korvaak's Deception I'll post an update.Build in vidhttp://www.grimtools.com/calc/RVvqyzW2Michael Bay moment - 12:59
Grimd Dawn - I hate reflect damage Duck King 2017-11-10 | At 4:50 I run into a room full of baddies. The reflect guy has me running for my life. I eventually recover and run to the bottom of the room for a better vantage point, at 5:11 I throw 3 Grenado's in quick succession at the first enemy to enter the screen which happened to be the reflect guy (I have the best luck). Guess it's a good thing I don't play HC

Grim Dawn AoM - Bastion of Chaos playthrough with Grenado Elementalist (Ultimate) Duck King 2017-10-24 | http://www.grimtools.com/calc/q2mga05ZPretty clear I need better gear. The tyrant's were taking me down to half health on a single hit. So many moments were I could have dropped from being sneezed at. Flashbang kept the Tyrants at bay for the most part but it didn't work every time.My first level 100 character. I'll post an update of this build once I've tracked down more gear. Right now I'm going to move on to other characters and hope I don't get slaughtered. I can't take on the new Ch'thonic Nemesis. I can take him on Elite but on Ultimate he pretty much one shots me every time. Build is too weak for such an encounter.I modified my devotions completely from the original build. Bard's Harp is one of my new favourite devotions and I highly recommend it, specially on energy-hungry builds like this one.
Grim Dawn - Retaliation DoTs stack with normal DoTs Duck King 2017-08-25 | Nothing major. This build is designed around "Burn" Retaliation. It stacks with other Burn attacks such as BWC. It's impossible for this build to apply a 50K Burn DoT unless he's attacked. Take a close look at the Burn DoT applied vs Cronley at 2:47http://www.grimtools.com/calc/mN4mnx2g
100% Freeze Duration Reduction ??? Duck King 2017-08-19 | Vid of my Warlock in Ultimate Steps of Torment.Despite chugging on a Hoarfrost Ointment I was frozen repeatedly by Moosy - 4:03. Just been advised that CC effects cap at 80%. Not sure how I feel about that. This was my first AAR build...http://www.grimtools.com/calc/4ZDmWpN7 - Build in vid
Grim Dawn - Physical Mortar Trap Commando (Beronath Reforged) Duck King 2017-07-30 | http://www.grimtools.com/calc/vNQkWvV6My first and probably only "physical" based Mortar Trap build. Certainly does not do as much damage as my Elemental Mortar Trap based builds but still fun to use.The build itself is pretty tanky, 40% physical resist and 100% Armor Absorption. Just lacks in attack speed and damage output. The 3 stooges took me around 4 minutes to defeat. The Acid pool is very annoying for melee toons, it causes you to repeatedly fumble whilst simultaneously debuffing you. On top of that the pillars around the arena kept making it hard to see what was happening. At around 8:10 Valdaran decided to join the party whilst I was pincered between 2 abominations and 2 enemy heroes. Pulled through but certainly an unlucky combination
Grim Dawn - Do not just ignore the raven Duck King 2017-07-25 | Like most skills in GD. The Raven starts off the game relatively strong. At level 16 it can shoot 3 projectiles at once. Against "large" enemies at close range they will get shot-gunned from the attack. If his attack "misses" he will swoop in and re-align himself.A lot of people use him for support only. My advice is to level him first and have him clear Act 1 for you. Then if you really want to you can respec.
Grim Dawn 1.0.1.0 - Mortar Trap + Stun Jacks Elementalist Duck King 2017-07-23 | Quick playthrough of my Stun Jacks + Mortar Trap Elementalist in Port Valbury. Nearly got wrecked by the council (they can take you from full health to nothing in a matter of seconds). It's predominantly a lightning focused build and can perma-stun "Rage Hulks" if UC re-triggers. I promised myself I wouldn't make another Mortar Trap build but I'm also working on a physical focused build using "Beronath Reforged". http://www.grimtools.com/calc/RZR56OVD
Grim Dawn 1.0.0.9 - Burn focused Shield Commando in Port Valbury Duck King 2017-05-20 | http://www.grimtools.com/calc/d2jK10V9Shied is "Flamewall Obsidian Bulwark of Psyche"Belt is "Incorruptible Chosen Girdle"Grimtools still needs a bit of updating it seems...Unlike most builds. This is a "rotational skill build" which focuses on Shield damage for it's main damage source. Hence "Brutal Shield Slam" and "Blitz" were taken. Build ended with higher Fire damage than Burn but it was "Burn" that I was focused on. You can make it tankier by taking Menhir's Bulwark but you'll lose roughly 300 OA. Most of my Commando's run out of mana repeatedly. Aside from the usual components, the "Cairn's Hope" augment allows this build to continue to use mana intensive skills without too many issues.
Grim Dawn 1.0.0.9 - Blade Trap + Phantasmal Blades (Ultimate Bastion of Chaos) Duck King 2017-04-24 | Seeing as I had the Demonslayer's Garb set I may as well put it to good use against Chthonic beings.Sharzul was probably the biggest threat in the entire dungeon. I think "bleeding" damage instead of "vitality" with different gear and devotions would have led to better results. http://grimcalc.com/build/1009-l56ON3build without + skillshttp://www.grimtools.com/calc/lV79L5NQ
Grim Dawn 1.0.0.9 - Vitality Focused Blade Trap+Phantasmal Blades Trickster Duck King 2017-04-24 | Just a quick run through the Plains of Strife on Ultimate with a Blade Trap + Phantasmal Blades Trickster using Demonslayer's Garb set.There are many issues with this build. Too many "on enemy death" procs. I'm also using "Speaker for the Dead" as an offhand. Thinking of trading it for "Skull of Gul'Amash". To meet the spirit requirements to use late game offhands I had to take Crane constellation. Demonslayer's Garb does not offer much in terms of energy regen which is odd as it's bonuses are geared towards a caster-ish build.Build without + skillshttp://grimcalc.com/build/1009-nPoEyF

Grim Dawn 1.0.0.8 - Burn focused Commando in Port Valbury (Ultimate) Duck King 2017-02-25 | Quick vid of my Burn focused Commando. Nothing too complicated or new, it relies on rotating between 3 main attacks and then bailing out. I feel this is more versatile as it allows my Commando to focus on ranged attacks if the enemy is a heavy physical hitter whilst still doing damage and applying a powerful DoT.http://grimcalc.com/build/1008-43vc5E - Without + skillshttp://grimcalc.com/build/1008-dFjeOi - With + skillsElemental Storm is attached to "Clean Sweep" (100% chance to proc)Meteor Shower is attached to "Flame Breath" - Item Granted (100% chance to proc)Eldritch Fire is attached to "Canister Bomb" - (100% chance to proc)Main idea is to open with "Canister Bomb" and run in with "Clean Sweep" followed by "Flame Breath", throw in thermite mine's and flashbangs for when the main skills are on CD. "Canister Bomb" is golden as it will occasionally re-trigger allowing you to re-cast it over and over again and re-triggering Eldritch Fire every time.Herald of the Stars - 2:23Watcher Ordas - 8:53Flames of Valbury - 11:43Jarren the Plaguewarped - 15:41Watcher Ygraad - 19:25Watcher Brandis - 24:55"Valdaran" - 25:41Throne of Van Aldritch (aka the three stooges) - 29:50Single target enemies can reach 100K crit burn DoTs such as Jarren but generally you're looking at 30K-40K crit burns against general mobs. The three stooges were taking 30K-70K in an AoE radius. It really did not matter who I was targeting simply because I had the AoE slowly burning them away.
Grim Dawn 1.0.0.7 - Valdaran why? Why? Duck King 2017-01-01 | My less than 7K HP nuker sorceress tries it's luck in Port Valbury. Valdaran decided to spawn and I thought I could take him. I was wrong ... lol. One teleport later and there goes my toon. I'm going to overhaul this build. Having 3 Mortar Trap's active just doesn't seem to be doing me any favours and I'm sacrificing a lot to have Mortar Trap at 26/16. I'm probably going to change it up into a Time Dilation build so I can have access to my more powerful nukes more often. I clearly need more HP and DA as well.http://grimcalc.com/build/1007-fjtQOC
Grim Dawn - 1.0.0.7 Sentinel Runs Inconsistent? Duck King 2016-12-31 | I did a few continuous runs against the Sentinel to try and get that damn blueprint and was really caught off guard on one of the runs. Specifically run number 3 at 9:52. He was just abnormally powerful compared to other encounters. On top of that no rare greens or nothing. But I could tell that he was taking 1/5th of the damage. 1st run - 2:24 Little bit of trouble2nd run - 6:17 No sweat3rd run - 9:52 WTF (why was he so strong?)4th run - 17:25 No sweat5th run - 21:05 No sweat6th run - 24:51 No sweat7th run - 28:50 No sweat

Seriously fuming over this. I even managed to take out Valdaran. (He was a major a-hole). I kept trying to run to destroy an aether crystal that was annoying me and Valdaran's like no buddy, I'm a teleport you over here instead.Anyway posted this build as it's been my most successful Mortar Trap build thus far but I still feel it lacks clear speed.http://grimcalc.com/build/1007-kovAmq - without + skillsValdaran - Makes an appearance at 5:20Herald of the Stars - 13:00 Kept getting frozen :(Watcher Ordas - 21:50 I find this guy the hardest of the 3 "Watchers" because he tries to lure you into fighting directly on top of the aetherfire.Flames of Valbury - 25:20Jarren the Plaguewarped - 30:14the wtf crash - 35:30

I will not be making another vid for a while but did a few Sentinel runs and I was able to keep my mana full without any issues.I realise that the OA of enemies was increased but "damn", I had so many close calls in Port Valbury. Much respect to the devs for their continuous updates and support. Valdaraan tends to roam outside and inside the dungeon as well and his stuns can be devastating specially if you're surrounded by Flesh Hulks whilst standing on Aetherfire. I got a wrecked with a number of builds due to this, including this one. Keep an eye out for that teleporting S.O.B. specially if you're caster orientated.Herald of the Stars - 6:08Archivist Thelon - 12:18 (Mana draining pain in the ***)Watcher Ordas - 15:35Flames of Valbury - 20:37Jarren the Plaguewarped - 24:35Watcher Ygraad - 27:35Watcher Brandis - 30:20Council - 36:00

But due to the nerf on mana potions. You'll need all the mana you can get. I have an Ectoplasm on each ring to ensure I have a healthy supply. Non-crits range between 30K-50K. Crits on average hit for around 70K but I've seen them as high as 190K with enough Resist Reductions applied.

Obviously not as strong as bleed/poison builds but still does quite well. You have roughly 15 seconds to apply as much burn damage before her aura comes back up. Lure her to your thermite mines then hit her with Canister Bomb, Clean Sweep and Flame Breath. If you're lucky throw a 2nd or 3rd Canister Bomb. Then hit her a few times and back off."Rain of Fire" alone is enough to one shot you in melee range if you stay there for too long. I played it safe and on the 3rd cycle she was down.Equipment in vidWeapon - Infernal BrimstoneHead - Mask of Infernal TruthShoulders - Divinesteel ShoulderguardBody - Divinesteel HauberkLegs - Hellforged LegplatesBelt - Infernal Knight's GirdleHands - Wyrmbone HandguardsBoots - Golemborn GreavesAmulet - The Peerless Eye of BeronathMedal - Mark of DivinityRings - Entropic Coil and Empowered Seal of the Blazing InfernoRelic - Ulzuin's Pyroclasm
