Poison Pets Cabalist Ghol's Malice Guide (Necromancer + Occultist) [Grim Dawn]
Fifty shades of Cabalist... Probably this is the best pet cabalist build in Forgotten Gods.
I tried doing this same build with Ritualist but Cabalist is superior in every aspect. There's Vulnerability from which gives - resists to mobs, Blood of Dreeg also gives acid damage and offensive ability, Bonds of Bysmiel gives life, damage and speed. It surpass any bonus given by Shaman which only gives little life (Occultist has way more with bonds of Bysmiel) and 50 crit, which is not better than the bonuses from Occultist. If you use Primal Bond aura (Shaman's) you can't use Master of Death (Necromancer's) and vice-versa, having to drop one of them is a big let down, but you can use Bonds of Bysmiel (Occultist) with Master of Death. This alone is a huge buff to pet builds, having two of the strongest auras for pets side by side is beyond OP. The healing from Blood of Dreeg and Mend Flesh (Summon Familiar) is not something to be undertaken neither; this will keep your pets alive, when the Shaman has nothing to offer in this reggard.
If you are talking about Pohx Kappa's build, you can see that mine has around 6 times more HP for pets, way more speed, way more offensive ability, better deffensive ability and all resistances are better (all this for the pets, and player's stats are also better). Pohx's build is not even the strongest that Ritualist can get: I have optimized a perfect Pet Ritualist with the Ghol's Malice set, and it is still weaker than Cabalist because Occultist is the best support for any pet build without a doubt, that's why Conjurer and Cabalist are so strong, they have Occultist, Ritualist does not. And unfortunately Ritualist is not good; I was hoping that Ghol's Malice would finally buff pet Ritualist, but it did not happene; you will manage to finish the base game and kill the main quests' bosses (if you are luck, because I'm almost sure Ritualist won't manage killing the Master of Flesh or Korvaak), but that's it. You won't get to kill anything else, like the endgame bosses: Nemesis, Celestials, Rashalga, Sentinel, Roguelike Dungeon Bosses, Shattered Realm, Crucible, etc.
Just make a comparison in Grim Tools in the pet bonuses tab.
If you still don't believe me, I also recommend trying both combinations by yourself, first the Ritualist and then the Cabalist.
When you make the change from Ritualist to Cabalist you will notice that Ritualist is like a bike and Cabalist it is a goddamn Ferrari.
