9 points in Amarasta is about how much you can afford with your energy regen. You’re keeping your ABB equal to your level up to about level 9. Level 10 to 13 – 3 points into Lethal Assault

Level 3 to 9 – 2 points into Nightblade mastery bar, 1 point into Amarasta’s Blade Burstįree skillpoint from Kasparov’s quest goes into Phantasmal Armor Level 2 – 1 point into Nightblade mastery bar, 2 points into Amarasta’s Blade Burst A rifle should be easiest, but a maul would be best damage. So, first thing is try to get some two-hander. This is now an optimal strategy for completing Act 1 on Veteran until Warden Krieg. Cheese your way with diving in, using ABB and then backing down, repeat once ABB’s cooldown is off. While I still recommend to level with Amarasta’s Blade Burst (ABB for short) it is no longer used as simply an extra AoE but as the main nuke instead. Specifically, I recommended to go dual wield from level 2 before, but that was under condition that you can facetank things. Due to that I had to change a few things to how I would level a Dervish.
GRIM DAWN TRAINER 1.1.1.2 PATCH
Keep in mind that most of my advice for this level range is for Veteran difficulty, which is rather brutal after patch 1.1.4.0. Yugol (bind Black Blood of Yugol to any permanent aura).Ghoul (bind Ghoulish Hunger to any permanent aura).Revenant (bind Raise Dead to Amarasta's Blade Burst).Abomination, everything but rightmost proc node (bind Tainted Eruption to Ring of Steel).Murmur the Mistress of Rumors (bind Rumor to Shadow Strike).Eye of the Guardian (bind Guardian's Gaze to Righteous Fervor).Akeron's Scorpion (bind Scorpion Sting to Amarasta's Blade Burst).Nidalla’s Hidden Hand adds poison to three WPS procs, and that poison would stack from each of them, so the actual impact of NHH on your poison ticks is thrice than what it seems.

The only thing I could add is one particular quirk with Nidalla’s Hidden Hand. It’s outdated about some of the exemplar numbers, but don’t let it bother you. Naturally, you could either emphasize the flat damage part or poison damage part, this build ended up somewhere in-between though.įor a general knowledge on how nightblade procs (WPS) work check here.įor a general knowledge on how DoT builds work check out this thread. The focus is on acid damage, but you’re going to end up with high ticks as well. Dervish is unique because he’s firmly in both realms. The way they are built is different, and the vast majority of builds have either strong flat damage and small DoT or vice versa. There are two kind of builds – those that scale flat damage and those that scale DoT damage. It is meant as a lower end version of the Dervish based on Vileblade Pact set, more commonly known as mythical Venomblade.Ĭontrary to some of my other builds it is pretty straightforward in how it is levelled, with little to no detours, respecs and other things. Here’s a beginner version of another popular DW melee build. Picture with Lethal Assault and Pneumatic Burst up, but no Ascension
