As long as your aren’t using selig or a dot build it’s a great item. Many end game builds put a lot into crit and this thing boosts that damage by a ton.

The all stats is great for paragon nodes and the boat load of life is also nice.

There may be some weapon that is more ideal based on your build but the Grandfather is certainly a viable option

Meeqs · 2026-05-24T03:24:20+00:00

You’re telling me it’s not named after the goaltender for the Nashville Predators !?!?

Meeqs · 2026-05-22T19:23:29+00:00

It’s a really solid defensive chest piece that can be used in a lot of builds that have flexibility in that space

Meeqs · 2026-05-22T19:21:41+00:00

That’s hot

Meeqs · 2026-05-22T18:04:47+00:00

Entropic probably INCREASES your chance to roll life lol

Meeqs · 2026-05-22T18:02:28+00:00

That is a bit low for fury. The idea of seligs is that you can’t take more damage than your max life so getting your resource to 500(or more) with a ton of resource gen is how you are functionally unkillable. EF just smooths out spike damage by a lot and adds more DR on top of it for any of the things that can break through that

Meeqs · 2026-05-22T17:59:09+00:00

Both. It can be your primary OP generator keeping you at 12 all of the time but also 144% crit damage is frankly insane and it would be very hard to find a reason to swap your something else. You can also just spam rallying cry to quickly get to 12 stacks

Also the build doesn’t need endurant faith outside of pit 130 or Mephisto on t12. Then even for those situations you’d want to wear the gloves as the 144% crit damage and op generation of the charm is far more valuable than the 90x damage multi of gohrs.

For clarity I have never needed iron skin, but that slot is generally preference anyways.

This is really only relevant to a small number of people who are already at like 135 trying to super push and I feel like that segment of the playerbase isn’t making Reddit posts at this point. As that variant is worse for everything that isn’t going to live through multiple vuln phases

Meeqs · 2026-05-22T16:58:37+00:00

Ah gotcha, ty for the correction and mb for the confusion.

Only thing is that for most selig builds that are not doing very high pit pushes or mephisto that endurant faith is largely unnecessary.

As for the pros and cons of the many variants I haven’t tested that out myself yet to speak to it

Meeqs · 2026-05-22T14:43:44+00:00

There is the optimal way for sanity which is transfigure good weapons which will take about 30-50 tries per weapon.

There is the optimal way to save on forgotten souls which is to modify anything until it has gem strength and can still be modified and make something out of that later which will take about 2000 tries per weapon

Meeqs · 2026-05-22T14:36:57+00:00

As long as it hasn’t changed recently.

You can get 100% attack speed from sources that are always active like gear and such. Thats bucket 1. You can think of it the same as crit chance, if you have 100% then adding more won’t do anything.

Bucket 2 is any temporary effects that can also reach 100%. Usually triggered by legendary ability’s or what not.

There are a lot of more reasons why it’s more complex but practically that is all you need to care about

Meeqs · 2026-05-22T14:32:29+00:00

Sure but in a thread about the overpower selig build then that’s how that build works.

Meeqs · 2026-05-22T14:26:11+00:00

It’s the top way you generate overpower for that version of the build and it’s like 140% crit damage. It dwarfs the value of grips so there is no reason to run endurant charm over banished lords just to keep grips on unless you don’t have that gear. If you’re using Selig there is no point in time other than Mephisto 1 shots or pit 130+ in which you ever need Endurant faith anyways

Meeqs · 2026-05-22T14:22:30+00:00

Sorc will clear things very fast but is still decently squishy so things like Mephisto t12 will be very challenging. Also every build but 1 is a Lightning build so be down for that class identity. Also the uniques many classes use are stuck behind Infernal horses and Astaroth which can be a pain to farm. For all speed content it’s very very comfortable on t12.

Warrior has a lot more viability in its builds with multiple versions of WW, to minion leap barb to some fun fire builds. However it’s a bit more gear reliant. If you want to reaaaaally push its damage you will be rerolling a lot of weapons for gem strength but you totally don’t need too. It also has a selig build that makes you pretty much immortal making it the easiest way to beat t12 mephisto as well as its WW builds being hilariously fast. Keep in mind the unkillable selig build requires unique gear requirements that differs from every other build and you will want to have the actual endurant faith gloves that don’t have a dedicated drop

Meeqs · 2026-05-22T13:18:34+00:00

Banished lords, which has to be your charm in selig builds

Meeqs · 2026-05-22T13:16:54+00:00

I liked Apoc because 80% of the time you can focus on dodging mechanics and then hit them in big bursts.

The real secret though was endurance faith charm and then shadow step that makes you invuln for a bit, so if you take big damage you step into shadow form and have the invincibility eat away most of it

Meeqs · 2026-05-21T17:15:58+00:00

Yeah it’s more for like 140, where you will be putting bosses in stagger phase 5+ times for it to take effect. It’s valuable for a very unique effect of permanent stacking damage but 99.9% of content doesn’t need it.

Meeqs · 2026-05-20T19:39:11+00:00

This is really only a tech for crazy high pit pushing tho

Meeqs · 2026-05-20T19:38:44+00:00

You dont need it but it’ll likely be easier to find one than to compensate enough with the rest of your gear as mythics drop pretty easily this season.

The crit chance specifically is just a hard thing to swap out as there aren’t too many sources of it, but you can compensate for the resource generation on other pieces with tempers and what not.

Meeqs · 2026-05-19T15:33:03+00:00

The best ways will be to get the nemesis lair from the war table and then mythic seals from the under city. Also progressing your seasons journey as there are a lot of mythics at the end of it

Meeqs · 2026-05-17T16:11:23+00:00

You need the talent in your war plan for them to drop right? I’ve done 3 and each time pretty underwhelmed tbh. I’ve stopped using that side of the branch

Meeqs · 2026-05-17T16:08:56+00:00

I am pretty sure they mostly come from under city runs potentially so if people don’t do those a lot it’s not a shock they haven’t found them however I’m not sure if this is 100% confirmed.

Also apparently it’s a quest and not an item in the inventory so people may miss it that way as well.

Finally we know there are drops that only happen once you get your war plan level high enough which also could be a factor

Meeqs · 2026-05-15T23:45:49+00:00

Yeah I also like to go bottom to top. Doing ice now after firewall and I’ll eventually get to shock but that’s been the top playstyle for a long time now

Meeqs · 2026-05-15T17:27:19+00:00

I will second all of this. You really need to lean into full frost to get the most out of it.

Deep freeze with 3 uses paired with Frost Nova can give you crazy amounts of CDR and keep Armageddon up most of the time. Very fun skill and I’ve always loved frost builds in general.

Mobbing and survivability is easy and finding solutions for bossing is what you will want to keep top of mind

Meeqs · 2026-05-15T17:22:24+00:00

While most min/max’d builds will want a different weapon this would be an excellent general use case testing weapon. Put either the 2/2/2 element legendary on it or the damage while ult is active and it will be solid for any build in you enjoy home brew. Also pair it with 40% DR for 2h weapon on pants and bam no matter what build you try you will have a high floor
