Grim Dawn - DRAIN ESSENCE Spellbinder UPDATED

[@xCyAx]

I just tested your build and it's brutal! :D In only changed the Devotion tree, instead of the Wolverine i went with purple crossroads and Empty Throne, same amount of points but more resists

[@MrBadintentionss]

thanks for posting this. just the type of build I was looking for! just needed your creativity to make the build viable for me!

[@MrToomuchfunk]

WOW, very nice update Sinnfullduck! I run this build, but now I see the new update and it's time to work on the upgrades! =D

[@SinnfullDuck]

Yea man, the updated version is so much fun!! Once you get the gear you'll LOVE it!

[@FrankyboyFloyd]

Great build! And very fun to play. Thx a lot!

[@simontobias9678]

nicely thought out since i got some experience i just wanna say i use kind of this build BUT i also skilled Olexra Max ... if you dont play alone this will help everyone to do something and ill take the leftovers by drain its much more fun to play group builds isnt it ? but your build is very close to what i did but i know other classes so i skill for the team . iam also hoping for group dungeons that need this kind of Coop skilling and gambling .. Super Hard Key dungeons

[@brianlapoint545]

Be nice to see ya time to time. Gonna be nice to gold up your jewelry and have crafted set jewelry. Those sets from the last dlc dungeons

[@SinnfullDuck]

Brian Lapoint I'll probably be on from time to time in IC but I doubt I'll pick up summerset since its so close to camelot unchained beta which I plan to cover heavily

[@Kenzo411able]

Where did you farm all your gear?

[@freakiebeakie]

Awesome video, it made me go for this build. i made an character and as far as i can see i have everything exactly the same but my dmg per second is 129k instead of 209k :( after some inspection i see my weapon had 100 aether damage less than yours :( some other stats are also lower on mine

[@Timmy-qr4ws]

Very interesting build. Is there a levelling guide for this ?

[@rudess84]

can you make a grim calc tool for it please? Thank you!

[@andretheseal9837]

Where are the blueprints for spellshock tome and eternity relic?

[@jt659]

I just started this build this week and am at level 42 now. I keep watching the videos to make sure I am on track with my damage. Looking at this one, I am wondering what the point of the 12 in Elemental Balance is? I have been sinking everything into Aether/Vitality damage and EB is for fire/frost/lightning damage right? Like I said, I just hit level 42, but so far I am burning through everyone with my drain. I found the right shield and a +1 DE axe at level 26. I also traded the Freeze for Ill Omen and like it a lot. Thanks again, it's a fun build. JT

[@Claews]

The elemental balance is only for the crit-dmg, which is a big stat with end game gear.

[@brianlapoint545]

Need obi won back. With being able to eso jewelry craft next release I think zaans monster celerons legacy and turogs will be even better. Have you pondered that set up.?

[@SinnfullDuck]

Brian Lapoint bro I've been gone so long that I don't even know what those sets are besides torugs. Zero and I have jumped on a few times lately and slaughtered IC tho so who knows.

[@GodTierAsta]

is the builds stats updated on the Grim Tool Site?

[@TheVrka]

What is the purpose of Elemental Balance (Burn, Frostburn, Electrocut damage)? Or do we take it only for Crit dmg bonus? Sorry if question is stupid, new player here.

[@SinnfullDuck]

Marko you're correct, its only for the crit damage

[@TheVrka]

SinnfullDuck Thanks :)

[@m1a2r3c4k5]

Can u up a video from crucible with this build??

[@krasenkochev8918]

Try this one www.grimtools.com/calc/YVWg0PJV a few components, some skill allocations , different gloves, a few constelation differences. I was wondering to put Hex Launcher for raw damage, insted of the scepter but we loose -15% resis proc. Change harbinger of souls for master of death for more AO and DA, cuz we still have capped cast speed and we trade only 175&Aether damage.From the gloves more lifesteal and dmg.Constelation more phys res and overal stats.

[@w3h4cK]

I don't quite get which skills u maxed and which u haven't bevause of the equipment. Can u share skills without equipment?

[@SinnfullDuck]

w3h4cK when you have the equipment you can just match everything up. If you don't have the gear then it's not the same build and you'll probably need to change some points anyway. Thats why i dont show it that way, sorry.

[@sKyIcIng]

use ctrl+shirt to see skill points without eq bonuses

[@JohnB-ws4ge]

my hero! lol had no idea

[@brianlapoint545]

Yea im in that beta as well.

[@noneya3619]

How the hell do you unlock those devotions with only one point into your crossroads?

[@Menemnon]

Some points were refunded later on. The NPC top-right in the Devil's Crossing prison can refund your ability and devotion points for you.

[@GameAndFish]

Do you have scheduled days to stream? I need to catch up

[@SinnfullDuck]

Paul's Game and Fish I've been streaming on twitch lately but I may come back to youtube

[@GameAndFish]

Which kind of feels like it has more to offer. I'll go follow you.

[@SinnfullDuck]

Paul's Game and Fish the only upside twitch for me is the su scriptions. Other than that, youtube offers more features without being a big streamer

[@jer_gg]

Super helpful man! Keep em comin! :)

[@TheClosedpalm]

Do you farm these items yourself or trade for them?

[@SinnfullDuck]

TheClosedpalm at the time I traded for the necklace but I farmed everything else.

[@TheClosedpalm]

Nice, just wondered if it was possible to realistically farm them single player. Im just into elite with your build (lvl 58) and loving it.

[@TheSebkulu]

Bro, you gotta tell me how you can achieve 200K+ DPS... I GrimStashed the same build as you just to test it, with optimized rolls, and I can barely achieve 145K DPS. I obviously got the same gear, same devotions, and same augments/components (for DPS purposes) So... What's the trick here? :-) Has the skill been nerfed?

[@Defragfaz]

Yes, I did the same. First I thought it has something to do with my farmed Uroborruk items so used GD Stash. But as you say I barely can achieve 145k DPS. Has there been a nerf to the Drauín Essence Spellbinder?

[@viceroyx]

I have all the same gear (every piece), same devotions, same stats, im slightly under 150k dps

[@annereilley4892]

Why topaz on the rings if you don't have a shield?

[@SinnfullDuck]

Health and Defensive Ability with Defensive Ability being the most important.

[@annereilley4892]

oh thanks. I'll try that, I usually go with corpse dust if I don't have a shield and want health, but defense is good too.

[@En3ka_]

skill for leveling?

[@SinnfullDuck]

Eneka you can use drain essence bit early its a bit weak. I would recommend maxing out flash freeze from the arcanist side first and then ravenous earth from necro. That should get you into the 80-90s easily.

[@En3ka_]

ey if i put my first point devotion on yellow,i cant go to the next point,is so far,you have only 1 yellow at the start ,.and where i go now?

[@robbiebubble3670]

Do you need specific items for Drain to become playable while leveling or just all skills to it and some dmg multipliers?

[@SinnfullDuck]

Robbie Bubble you'll want a spectral shield while leveling for sure. That plus skill points will really help out

[@miltonwilliams2399]

I like grim dawn but it's not as free in its build if I want a all fire build its almost impossible

[@SinnfullDuck]

I have builds with only aether damage, lightning, fire. It's possible for sure but you have to get the right class setup and gear for sure.

[@En3ka_]

This build is the most powerfull in the game?

[@SinnfullDuck]

Eneka probably not but it's close. It's my personal favorite though!

[@jamesmaitee8500]

lol i dont think its close, as im pretty sure your not level 100 on hardcore right? =) dosent really look hc viable.. it looks kinda fun build for normal though

[@ayfindril]

It's indeed far from being the best, got a char that deals about 2.5 million dps in crucible

[@mauricionavarro8224]

Nice build bro ;)

[@SinnfullDuck]

Thanks my man!

[@Mikey92186]

Are you like from D3 or something?

[@SinnfullDuck]

Mordecai Mike looks like it

[@Mikey92186]

SinnfullDuck Just kidding nice video and build 😀

[@Djuntas]

I dont see the point in drain essence. Sinnfull, if you see this can you reply back and I will elaborate. I use the same build but much more melee, and it fucking rocks :& Love it. But drain essence seems stupid.
