@PaulFerence I'm busy tonight, sorry. Also, I think you messed up the link for that build

@Maiasma Looks like Grim Tools is broke at work. Can't say I'm entirely surprised. :- b

@PaulFerence The skills look good, although I would recommend bringing the Mogdrogen's Pact line down to its soft cap numbers and maybe only one point in Brute Force so you can pick up a few more goodies from Soldier (Blitz line, Scars of Battle, Squad Tactics). And again, Wendigo Totem is a really helpful heal for a melee character.

@PaulFerence Your devotions are leaving you pretty squishy. Where are you even putting all those offensive powers?

@Maiasma I was looking to focus a build on Primal Strike. With devotions, I'm only using 1. And I figured with a resist over 60 and 15K health, I wouldn't be that squishy. Disagree?

@Maiasma I did some re-working, and actually assigned the Devotion powers. Now I'm capped on everything except poison, aether, and chaos. Under 15K health though now.

@Maiasma Uhhhhh... are components and augments supposed to stack?

@Maiasma That feel when you realize augments and components stack. Anyways, resist-capped. 17K health now. >_<

Main attack deals 44K in a 3 Meter AoE. Not sure how Torrent works.

@PaulFerence What's making you squishy is your low defensive ability and armor absorption for a melee character. Physical damage and crits are killer.

@Maiasma Ahhhh. Okay. Back to drawing board. Gotta have something to do while backing up this DR exercise. :- b

@PaulFerence Yeah, it's a bit non-intuitive given how the genre is usually more focused on resist capping over anything else

@PaulFerence You might want to choose either Ultos *or* Blind Sage and see if not needing so much purple or blue lets you pick up some defensive devotions like Chariot, Behemoth, and/or Solemn Watcher

@Maiasma Y'know, with as much as I look at builds, I really can't find anything that rivals the retaliation build, and that makes me sad because it's boring AF.

@PaulFerence in what ways are other builds falling short?

@PaulFerence if that's the build you want to play then you should play that

@PaulFerence At the very least, replacing Bat with Behemoth would do wonders for you.
