Here is a video of the first alternative Dervish build completing Crucible 170 in under 5 minutes (credit to Marek Kasprzyk).

The idea for a Dervish build was presented by one of my fellow Twitch users roughly a month ago he shared a GrimCalc (I’m not sure as to the origins) that I made adjustments to myself. While I played the recommended GrimCalc version, I am also including two additional variations that are capable of Crucible 170 (4:48) and Ravager (1:44). We also have fantastic resistance reduction through devotions and our buddies from Celestial Presence and Night’s Chill. Using Righteous Fervor as our main attack paired with a number of heavy-hitting devotions covering both single target and AoE, our biggest defensive layer is killing everything quickly and efficiently.

As a player who loves Damage Over Time (DoT), I wanted to create a solid melee boss-hunting and “melting” build that could do all content but was also capable of doing end-game super bosses while also being powerful with self-found gear (prior to acquiring the best in slot legendaries). Grim Dawn does melee better than most other ARPGs on the market, making these builds not only fun, but very powerful. The GrimTools link is available at the bottom of the guide. JAN 2020 UPDATE!
