Raven & Hellhound Pet Warlock

An Occultist pet-summon skill that deploys a raven familiar. Its Mend Flesh modifier turns it into a healer for you and your whole pet crew. Bind the Dryad devotion's Dryad's Blessing proc here (33% chance on attack).

An Occultist pet-summon skill. Its Ember Claw modifier grants Taunt, turning the hound into the crew's tank. Bind the Bysmiel's Bonds devotion's Bysmiel's Command proc here (summons a temporary extra pet).

An Occultist AoE debuff that reduces Physical, Bleeding, Poison/Acid, Vitality, and Elemental (Fire/Cold/Lightning) resistances and slows enemies (not Chaos resistance). Bind the Tortoise devotion's Turtle Shell proc here (100% chance at or below 50% health, nullifies incoming damage briefly). Since it's a health-threshold trigger, it fires the same regardless of which skill it's bound to.

An Occultist active attack skill that fires a projectile which detonates on impact, dealing Acid/Poison damage in an area. It has no cooldown and is limited only by casting speed and energy, making it a convenient anchor for devotion procs. Bind the Bull devotion's Bull Rush proc here (25% chance on attack, Physical AoE damage).

An Arcanist toggle buff. Its Manifestation modifier converts up to 30% of your pets' Physical damage to Elemental and boosts their Elemental damage by up to 120% — the core of this build's "Elemental" damage identity.

An Arcanist defensive toggle that drains Concentration (energy) to maintain a shield absorbing a portion of incoming damage. Bind the Behemoth devotion's Giant's Blood proc here (15% chance on being hit, boosts recovery/regeneration).

• ▸Levels 1-10: grab the rare off-hand Karvor's Conjuring Bone from a corpse-search event for an extra pet and early speed.
• ▸Levels 10-20: gear up with weapons from the Depraved Sanctuary (requires dealing with the resident Direini).
• ▸Level 35: pick up Devil's Crossing/Rovers faction gear, a relic from the Homestead vendor, and Guardian of Dreeg drops (Hidden Path questline) to shore up resistances and pet bonuses.
• ▸Levels 45-60: upgrade weapons/armor from the Bargoll fixed spawn in Ugdenbog and gear unlocked after reaching Honored reputation at Homestead. The author provides a separate "level 90-100 budget setup" grimtools link for this stretch.

• ▸Push Cult of Bysmiel faction reputation to rank 4 to unlock the 1H dagger Bysmiel's Mindweaver as the build's centerpiece weapon.
• ▸The guide's "zero greens" claim is specifically about this endgame setup, and the same post says you start picking up Mythicals around level 80-90 - most of the endgame gear is random-drop. Whether the earlier budget setup is likewise green/Mythical-free isn't stated in the text, so that isn't asserted here.
• ▸A full slot-by-slot breakdown isn't written out in the post; the grimtools endgame link (provided by GSAsylum) is the reference for the complete final gear.

• ▸Debuff with Curse of Frailty and follow up with Dreeg's Evil Eye while your pets do the fighting.
• ▸The Raven and Hellhound hold aggro well, so you're rarely the main target.
• ▸Low execution overhead, but the Raven can occasionally get stuck on terrain and needs re-summoning.

The post doesn't give a resistance table, but scatters specific warnings throughout: prioritize Pierce/Bleeding resist from Act 2 onward, Blood Grove and Depraved Sanctuary are heavy on Vitality/Chaos damage, aim for 60-80% Poison/Acid resist in Hidden Path, and expect a large resistance penalty upon reaching Ultimate.

The Raven can get stuck on terrain. The Cult of Bysmiel reputation reward is guaranteed once you reach the required rank, but other Bysmiel-themed set pieces aren't craftable and rely entirely on random drops. The playstyle is repetitive, and the author notes it isn't for players who want a more active, dynamic build.

Farm the Bargoll fixed spawn in Ugdenbog for weapon material, Galakros for crystals and Black Legion reputation, and Pine Barrens for Homestead reputation. Eldritch Totems in Korvan City/Cairn Docks drop the Gate to Many Worlds. Cult of Bysmiel reputation is a direct path to the Bysmiel's Mindweaver dagger. The author states the budget setup clears SR 26-27 in 7-8 minutes at roughly 80-90 legendaries/hour.
