GRIM DAWN / BUILDS / BY DAMAGE

Builds by Damage Type

Every build on this site grouped by the damage it scales. A build appears under each type it uses, so totals exceed 40.

HOW TO READ THIS
  • ▸The order is simply how many builds this site currently carries for each type. It is not a strength ranking - for that, see the Build Ranking.
  • ▸Damage-over-time types are folded into their paired normal type, because resistance to the normal type also mitigates the DoT. The pairs are burn/fire, frostburn/cold, electrocute/lightning, poison/acid, vitality decay/vitality, and internal trauma/physical.
  • ▸Bleeding is the exception: it has no paired normal type, so it stands on its own.
  • ▸Elemental is an umbrella for fire, cold, and lightning rather than a damage type of its own, so builds tagged Elemental are listed under Elemental and not split across the three.
  • ▸Pet and Retaliation are listed separately at the bottom: they describe how a build is put together rather than a damage type.
