Our take on Germanic Beastmaster
“The pack follows the strongest”
“The pack follows the strongest”: +1% kill heal and +5% damage to foes are small numbers, but they work together in crowded waves. It is the Rare preview of Dis Pater, a good set for a Berserker or Gladiator who fights in the middle of the pack.
What does the Germanic Beastmaster set bonus do?
+1% Kill heal
Heals you a little every time you kill an enemy. Survival waves have many enemies, so it adds up quickly, especially for melee classes.
+5% Damage to foes
A plain damage increase against every enemy, bosses included. Simple and always useful, especially on a new account.
+11 Vitality and +55 Max HP
On our level-1 Gladiator with 124 Max HP, the set’s +55 Max HP alone would be a 44% increase. Every set adds flat health that scales with rarity. Rare sets give +11 Vitality / +55 Max HP, against +7 / +35 for Uncommon and +19 / +95 for Epic.
How do you get the Germanic Beastmaster pieces?
| Slot | Piece | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Helm | Wolf Pelt Helm | From chests |
| Chest | Beastmaster Mail | From chests |
| Hands | Beastmaster Bracers | From chests |
| Legs | Beastmaster Leg… | From chests |
Rare gear can also come from chests. These are the chests that can roll Rare items:
| Chest | Rare chance | Armor / weapon split | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Chest | 25% | Armor 75% · Weapon 25% | 400 Cash |
| Rare Chest | 75% | Armor 67% · Weapon 33% | 1,200 Cash |
A chest that rolls Rare still picks one item from every Rare armor and weapon, so a specific piece of Germanic Beastmaster is much rarer than the Rare chance.
Who should use Germanic Beastmaster?
- Long Survival runs: +1% Kill heal, +5% Damage to foes.
- Berserker (greatsword): +1% Kill heal.
- Gladiator (sword and shield): +1% Kill heal.
How to build around Germanic Beastmaster
Long Survival runs. For long Survival runs, pick boons that match the set, never leave early (the result bonus drops to x0.50), and push past round 21, where Forge Embers start dropping for your next Legendary or Mythic set.
Berserker (greatsword). The Berserker has no block, so health and sustain matter more than for any other class. Its long, heavy swings hit crowds, which makes kill-heal and damage-to-weak-foes lines especially strong.
Gladiator (sword and shield). Pair it with the Gladiator’s block (70% less damage) and the Scutum path: Iron Skin adds +4% Max health per rank, and the capstone Unbreakable cuts damage by 20% below 35% health. Hold block through boss wind-ups and counter with the slash, backhand and shield bash chain.
Fit: our reading of the bonus Based on the class cards and skill tree we saw in game, not on damage tests.
