RIP in peace edition
>What is Grim Dawn
Grim Dawn is an ARPG made by a few left over developers from Iron Lore Entertainment who also made Titan Quest along with a few other devs including one D1/D2 designer. Currently you can't really pirate it because it breaks NPCS and quests (custom DRM I'm guessing) but there is a DRM free version planned for launch.
>What are some features
Dual Class System
Faction-Based Questing
Refined Loot Drops
300+ Hero Monsters
Destructible Environments
Dynamic Weather
Recipe-Based Crafting
Modding Tools (Future)
DRM Free Version (At launch in February 2016)
Survival Mode (think endless dungeon) (for all backers)

This rustles my autism far more than I thought it would.

Isn't OP. People only now starting to realise how important LLeech is.
Is there a worse class combination than DemoNightblade?
fifth for you're an idiot, your build sucks, you're wrong, this is how I'm right, and bags of salt
>>127787935
I want to make a witch hunter face fucker with chaos blade spam but not sure how well does it work with blades of wrath active and witchfire
>>127786831
>>127787061
Thanks, was leaning toward nightblade or demolitionist myself. The dagger I have gives a point to a nightblade skill; do I need to invest a point in that skill to get the +1 to it or will speccing into Nightblade be enough?
>>127787129
>>127787204
Didn't know I could respec things. I guess that'll be introduced later down the line, but it's good to know I'm not locked in. I have tons of ideas for characters and the ability to respec is going to be great.
>>127787153
Thanks, was thinking of using the blood curse DoT with the Curse of Weakness to layer up a lot of blood damage and further boost the dot while maybe setting up a killing field with traps or AoEs, but it doesn't look like the Demolitionist has any decent traps like I was hoping. DoTs for trash and heavy hitting specials for bosses. I was hoping a plaguesmith type build would have been viable/ possible though.
>>127787345
One of the character builds I want to try on a different build is a Shaman/ Occultist zookeeper. How many pets can you have active at one time?
>>127787526
It does make it a bit tough. The eldar fire titian thing I found was easy enough, just kite him around and keep the DoT up. The monsters that have auto heal kick in that outdoes my DoT is a pain though, but now that I know I can get refunds for points spent I can experiment and try things freely.
>>127788383
>Didn't know I could respec things. I guess that'll be introduced later down the line
Spirit guide is right there in Devil's crossing, you can speak to her right after completing your first quest after they open the gates.
>>127788615
Guess I missed her. I'll look around town next chance I get
Fuck Loghorrean.
>>127788383
>how many pets
At least 8 with items and devotions. There is a point when you reach too many pets though.
>>127788956
And the Storm Crow is the best one anyway.
>>127788383
>do I need to invest a point in that skill to get the +1 to it
Yes, you cannot +1 a skill with no points in it.
>How many pets can you have active at one time?
I don't believe there's a cap so you're only limited by how many pets you have access to.
My friend's conjurer had three variety of hellhound, the crow, briarthorn, black scourge, a skeleton, and primal spirit. I might be forgetting some summons from granted item skills. Point is, you can roll deep.
>>127788956
My Conjurer has up to 9 pets. 10 if I swap out an item. But 9 is far more than enough. They block eachother all the time.
>>127789269
More like 4 is too much many of the times. One of them will always be wandering around waiting for his turn to hit the boss .
>>127789269
They don't have clipping, what's happening is only 3 can attack one target at a time.
>>127788956
>>127789269
>>127789462
Noted. Thanks guys, I'll log that and keep it saved up for the next character.
>>127789250
Thanks; figured as much but wanted to make sure. Was hoping that this crawler would be different in that regard seeing as how the skill is one I'd have to sink 20 points into mastery to even be able to access.
YES, ANOTHER SACRIFICEDo you think they'll change those enemies' "female" voices? And what about voice acting?
>>127789781
just to make sure I'm not crazy.are you implying that the female voices are just pitch shifted males?
GD has shitty pet AI, the same enemy can't be attacked by more than 3 pets iirc
even if they are in range and don't block each other, they just won't target it
>>127789993
>>127789781

Can you still get legendaries from Elite BoC, even at level 85? I'm getting empowered epics, but no legendaries yet, am I just unlucky?
>>127790201
hold on, there's a level cap to when legendary equips drop per difficulty?
Anyone else have problems with random areas of ground sparking like items or there or get sounds/ animations and even models of loot dropping, but your unable to pick it up?
Just started noticing that last night.
>>127789993
Indeed.
Also I think putting the character face next to the dialogue box isn't the best choice, they're all generic crap, artworks would be better especially for main characters like ulgrim and creed.
And for the love of god I want a bigger 3d model of my character when I open up the inventory.
>>127790536
I don't think so since I'm getting empowered epics, but after 4 BoC runs without a single legendary, I'm really starting to wonder
>>127790704
just grind nemesis spawns
there's no better way to get legendaries
>>127790704
You clearly didn't sacrifice a lamb to RNGesus this morning when you got up.
Anyone know if cast speed affects storm totem? Does it increase their cast rate or can I just ignore cast speed?
>>127790592
do you mean Broken Items?
sometimes monsters drop what they were wearing/using but you can't pick it up unless I'm mistaken.
>>127790620
Now that you mention it, I can hear it.
also Agreed, portraits should be digitally painted.
I want dyes/the ability to change armor appearance, maybe do something where you can break down an item and get one of its bonuses and then for a one-time deal apply it to another piece of equipment.
I feel like that's been done before, who's done that before?
>>127790806
But then I have to grind reputation first.
...What's a good route to run for maximum chance of running into nemesis spawns?
>>127790956
Steps of Torment seems to do the trick for me. Undead rep is easy to lose, and the steps always has the same nemesis in the same spot early into the dungeon.
>>127791067
>>127790956
Steps, Ikon, Bastion
don't forget to do bounties, they also give negative rep with stuff like undead or death's vigil for example.
Died 60 times to the final boss.
Might as well kill myself.
is it worth using a shield if you don't go into soldier?
The only thing I'd really want from soldier is the +physique and health, and the +shield block chance.
>>127791247
How badly do you have to fuck up your build to die to ANY boss 60 times?
>>127791621
iirc augments/components in shields only "activate" if the shield is used. Off-hands stack directly with main hand
>>127791701
final boss is hard as dicks
>>127791621
there's no point in getting a shield if you don't have 100% block
you can use bulwark for an easy walkthrough and 50 mastery is a shitload of stats
>>127790952
>maybe do something where you can break down an item and get one of its bonuses and then for a one-time deal apply it to another piece of equipment
Oh hey, this guy has an epic MI. Too bad it's apparently for 2-handed Elementalists.
>>127791982
seriously who did that before?
Was it WoW?
Fuck me
>>127792179
also it would have to be randomized which stat you could extract to prevent complete bullshit and encourage more farming.
It's really bugging me that I feel like this has been a thing and it was really unpopular but I think it would work with this genre.
>>127792139
>>127792423
>>127792519
We are gonna need some sort of really random dungeons or map system to keep this game fresh after awhile, think we will get anything like that?
>>127792169
thats not an MI though
>>127792610
nope
>>127792519
>>127792423
>>127792594
Guys pls
I'm sleep deprived and can't make the connection

>>127792610
There was talking of a survival mode/endless dungeon separate from the main game a while back.
>>127792649

>>127792757
ok I'm just going to assume it was a really dumb idea ;~; only thing I can find similar is Crisis Core's materia fusion and that's still pretty far from what I had in mind.
>>127792610
Would be interesting to see a randomly generated multi level dungeon, but I don't think we'll see it though.
Nature of story driven games like this.
>>127794148
we really need a tower of purgatory in GD that you can only visit after reking Log
make it scale to your stats and add riddles and traps to encourage multiplayer
>>127794148
The Bastion of Chaos is pretty randomized and multi level.
>>127794375
I'd be down with that. If we get anything it'll probably be DLC at best though.
Come to think of it, the only dungeon crawler I recall playing multiple times other than this one was the first Torchlight.
>>127789462
>>127789771
>>127789506
And on some bosses (like log, hive queen) only 1 can hit the boss at a time. And reportedly (I've noticed this and there are complaints about it on the forums) that if you use the pet-attack skill and the pets can not target the primary target you selected, they'll walk around aimlessly even if there are other targets right next to them to hit.
Pretty buggy. Also starting to get tired of my Conjurer @ ~72. Gearing is terrible for it. Impossible to get good resists since every pet item had god-awful useless stats other than the pet stuff.
>>127789996
I thought more than 3 can attack a target if there's no obstruction (ie 4 around the boss in a circle) I could be wrong though.
>>127795167
Oddly enough TL bored the hell out of me and so did TQ. I haven't been able to put GD down though andI liked TL2
>>127795167
Valhalla Knights was bretty gud for a JRPG, same with Rengoku
I wish GD was more than just 'go there kill that' and had players thinking
you know, Crate promised player choices and shit but so far it only affects 1 merchant, faction status and your relation to outcast
why can't we side with aetherials? seize control over the cult of chton and turn it into witch god party with catgirls and shit?
if I can wreck avatar of motherfucking Mogdrog then I can beat aetherials and take the capital for good measure
good thing Ulgrim cucked the Emprah already
>>127795628
no I'm fairly sure than when Ravna was getting attacked by 3 doges my raven straight up ignored it
same with my m8s acid lobster
On the note of random dungeons, i think we're getting a survival mode eventually which is supposed to be just that.
>>127796392
getting stormed by random adds isn't the same as exploring a fuckhueg labyrinth full of treasures and even more traps

Why the fuck they made so many of the soldier's skills so point heavy is beyond me. 12 on cadence at least would have been fine.

>still use them and have a collection in my stash but feel like a casual all the time
Is it easier to raise survivability or damage, assuming i focus on the other in my build?
>>127798021
You will have to use Cadence if you do not have another autoattack class with it. You can safely neglect it later in the game when you craft Shard of Beronath weapon component which gives you a really good autoattack ability on it.
>>127797520

>>127798349
I am sure you're making assumptions
MI is not bound to be rare
MI by definition is an item that drops from certain enemies
you can run that chtonic hellhole multiple times and get incinerators quite often if not always
that makes it a MI unlike some other items
>>127792179

Nope, you can break down legendaries and transfer their unique mods to other items.
It is extremely silly.
>>127798021
Soldier/Arcanist or Soldier Occultist (Soldier/Demo but you really have to build up Fire % to be really good)
For Cadence you should put0 when you get Mistborn Talisman or Shard of Beronath
Early on you'll want to get Targo's Hammer devotion skill ASAP and max out Shield Training, then Overguard. I also have Bull Rush linked to Troll Rage and Trample (for those pesky archers/gunmen). Buff phys and internal trauma dmg for better killspeed
>>127799625
Well shit, now I feel dirty.
>>127798751
you can get them from anywhere else
>>127799707
so? if it drops from certain mobs reliably then it's a MI
you go to cronley's place for pauldrons and they are considered MI despite not always being rare
>>127799462
vitriolic langouste
>>127799625
You can't transfer the mods to other items, they're passive buffs you can choose for your character. You can have one accessory, weapon, and armor effect I believe.

wait how do you kill shit?
Don't tell me you just Fire Strike bosses for 1 hour.
>>127800091
they dont drop from certain mobs
if anything, they are limited to an act which still doesnt make them an MI
please know what terms mean instead of giving them your own warped definitions
>>127800410
I don't know, I feel like the implementation I had in mind wouldn't be that silly.
>break down item, destroying it
>RNGesus serves you one of the bonuses
>Receive some kind of special consumable with said bonus that you apply as you would an augment or component
>One time onry per equip
I think it would encourage more playing/farming and give the player even more customization. RNG would make creating a bullshit item more difficult, and the one-shot aspect would make you want to hold out for the good bonus.
You could make the augment soulbound but not the item it's applied to to encourage trading.
Okay, it's dumb.

>>127801570

Mostly Ulzuin's. The sexiest character I've ever made for sure. Helps that it's mostly lego/set stuff.
>>127800659Yes but it doesn't take that long actually
>>127802006
Another picture. Part of why I like it is because it reminds me a lot of an enemy (and I think armour you can use) from Sonny (I think Sonny 2)

>Monster Infrequents are Rare (green) items that can only drop from certain monster types, or in some cases only from one particular Boss or Hero creature.
>Some MI's are "unique" in the sense that they have no base item type, while others do; for example Murderer's Spaulders can drop as a normal, magic or rare item or as the Murderer's Epaulets Monster Infrequent item.
okay buddy
How can you tell if an enemy is a Nemesis? How rare are they?

Yeah, no
>>127802454
Not that anon but to be fair, the story, world and characters are some of the best, consistent and not plot-hole-ridden like all other ARPG.
>>127802385
if you died it 1 hit it's probably a nemesis
they also have a red name but more often than not you won't even have the time to check it
>>127802289
you are so FUCKING dumb
murderers spaulders is a white item that can have green affixes
murderers epaulets are a green MI that can have any affixes too

I was thinking about making a lightning oriented build and was wondering about stun jacks, anyone have any experience with how good/bad they are?
>>127802385
You can tell if there's a giant black/blue boney chest and some scary fuck tries to kill you for looking at it. Supposedly they'll spawn randomly in preset locations 100% of the time each game but not all locations are known.

Are you fucking shitting me nigger? No dash, no jumps, no hopping back, noteleport
Is it this engine that can't do it at all,or just a design choice?
>>127805216
first of all, engine is shit and can't handle teleportation, which is why all blink strikes are coded as +500% movement speed
second of all, GD isn't DMC so there's no need for *teleporting behind you*
more often than not you won't even kite because you will get slowed and have to fight for your life or use one of the many oh shit buttons
>>127805015
That wasn't implied at all.
>no movement based skills wahtsoever
>here are a handful of them
>b-b-but not every class has them!
>also stop saying saying things you didn't say or imply at all
People like you should not even be posting. Huge goal post shift and putting words into other people's posts.
>>127805216
They affect movement so yes they would be. Just because they aren't what you want doesn't invalidate them of being such.
so i joined kymon's chosen as a spellbreaker
did i dun goofed?
>>127803727
That's nice, but what about the stun jacks?
>>127805864
They're trash for stun. Not sure about damage. Probably mediocre as well.
is there any good ranged caster build at all
>>127806041
AAR. DEE.
Not sure what else.
>>127805960
Well, that sucks.
Hopefully i can get it to work anyway. Druid does look really good but i'd like to try something different.
>>127805825
Just choose the necrofags after getting to the next difficulty.
>>127806209
They might be decent if you spec for them (lightning damage) it's just most people who use them only try them for stunning. I can't say about their damage or if you spec for them.

Does this shit get better at higher level or is crit fucked in this game?
>>127806560
high crit is only viable for nightblades/arcanists or very specific builds, so dont bother
>>127806560
get OA devotion and use shit like COF or FB to lower enemy DA
it's totally possible to crit shit without putting pts in cunning due to retarded OA% on items and constellations
>>127806560
You have to sacrifice better fitting bonuses in favor of offensive AND defensive ability

What secondary class should i take? Nightblade to dual wield pistols? Atm running with 2h crossbow.
>>127805139
Diablo 3 RoS, patch 2.4
>nightblade for DW pistols
should we tell him?
>>127808387
nightblade doesnt let you dual wield pistols, but its probably the best idea
the other idea is arcanist, for straight fire damage and damage resists and thats it
eventually soldier if you dont like dying
>>127808795
>NB for twin pistol
No. Why would you?
For twin pistols you pick between these 3; Soldier Arcanist Demo.
>>127808506
top fucking kek
Please tell me dual wield nightblade is viable later on because I'm having so much fucking fun at level 15
How do I stop being so damn squishy though?
>>127810096
yes, its one of the most reliable and powerful masteries in the late game
pick soldier/arcanist as second mastery
>>127804108
you can swap rare materials at horrus, the spooky blacksmith at the necropolis

>>127810821
here we go. hsg going to adopt the "good builds are for shitters" meme as well.
>>127810938
any build can be good
picking soldier or arcanist is the same as choosing normal difficulty compared to elite

retaliation isn't viable on ultimate

Really? Why?
>>127812756
You mean

Meh, I'll wait until the expansion releases and see if this is any better.

I wonder why
>>127816871
Nope, this alwyas happens at this hour, thread is fine until then
>>127805216
the game is shit. the engine is shit. You thought it would be new, but its TQ reskinned with lmao ayy liens. Sorry, anon
>>127818469
And yet here you are.
>>127817134
>Can't crit
There are crit builds?
>>127818719
Waiting on the new PoE patch, desu senpai
>>127819205
Then go to poeg.
>>127819292
how about you suck my dick. I want to talk about this piece of shit game
>>127819604
I'm sure you have a great life with that awesome attitude and perspective, anon.
Why are people so threatened they come here to shitpost?
>>127819693
Go back to crate forum if you want unabashed positivity
>>127819906
Probably the fact they realized they got scammed by playing and supporting the literal cancer of gaming their always online f2p garbage is
>>127818469
TQ is the best ARPG ever made tho so more of it was a good thing
>>127819953
>if you don't like one extreme you must like the other!
Fantastic attitude, perspective and logic. Never cease to amaze.
>>127820182
what about my statement is extreme? The game is quite LITERALLY a reskin of the predecessor. All they did was flip the skill trees sideways, recycle some assets and make up some bullshit about spooky spirits invading from the netherworld and call it a day
>>127820354
Nah you called it shit, you're just moving goal posts to not look stupid now.
I am a faggot incapable of playing and enjoying multiple games
>>127820354
>Reputation
>Bounties
>Devotions
>Decent crafting
Pretty sure none of these were in TQ, senpai.
It's the same engine, and it's an ARPG, just like TQ, yes. And a fuckton of the skills are very close to what we had in TQ as well, although there are plenty of other ones too.
But hey, why don't you go play Titan Quest if Grim Dawn is so shit?
>POE shitposters are so bored of their shit game they have to come here
>>127817134
>>127818839
Please respond, the guy claiming retalation isn't viable smells of bullshit, what do you think?
>>127821156
There's no way retaliation will be viable in Ultimate. I mean, sure, you can probably make it work somewhat on regular mobs and melee heroes, but it would take years to kill anything.
Also, what would you do with ranged mobs?
>>127821156
getting hit seems like a bad plan for ultimate
>>127820973
Same as D3 faggots.
>>127821332
Then why does everyone say soldier is one of the only viable class in ultimate?
>>127821617
because you can't not get hit at all and soldier has unrivaled survivability
>>127821292
>>127821332
Your reasoning is dumb, retalation are melee hits that don't rely on your swing and use other dmg modifiers, saying things like "it doesn't work on ranged" is like saying that melee hits are not ranged.
Saying "it relies on enemies hitting you" is like saying your melee relies on you hitting the enemy, if you have low OA you will not hit, if you have high DA you will not get hit so you do the same you would do for melee, you build around it.
Retalation is simply extra melee attacks that rely on the enemy to activate, and you're gonna get hit when you're melee, regardless if you built around retalation or not.
>>127821998
top b8
>>127821998
I'm probably falling for some bait here, but I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt:
Yes, but retaliation damage does not trigger on ranged attackers.
I'm actually not sure of whether or not it relies on OA either, but if it does, you're probably gonna run into problems hitting enemies in Ultimate, and if it doesn't, it can't crit (You can get pretty ridiculous numbers of retaliation, though)
What I'm saying is, you can't rely on retaliation only. You need something else as well, to deal with ranged attackers and situations where you get mobbed by 4+ heroes at the same time, and can't tank them for extended periods of time.
>>127821908
is there anyway to build a soldier that doesn't involve spamming the default attack? Like can I run shield tank and have good survivability while dual classes to something else that's not shit?
>>127822803
bulwark+ST witchblade with 1 point in OG for regen and stun reduction works wonders
too bad there are no lategame caster shields, Crate really fucked that up
>>127822803
You could go with warder and spam wind devils and storm totems. But it's more fun with a 2 hander.
Is there a site I can look up where to find certain components? If not, where do I find severed claws?
>>127822963
>too bad there are no lategame caster shields, Crate really fucked that up
>Witchblade
So... Something like this?
>>127823108
You make them from chipped claws with a blueprint
>>127822963
Empowered elementium?
>>127822803
I'm playing a Forcewave build while stacking trauma. Gives you ability to kite hard bosses and thin out dangerous packs before you just melee them.
Most likely not ultimate viable build. Farming BoC veteran atm.
>>127823465
trauma can stack on itself? How many times?
>>127823325
now compare this to legendaries
you don't really use epics, do you? lmao
>>127823349
not on a witchblade
>>127823550
I meant stacking it on gear and skills. It doesn't stack on mobs I'm pretty sure.
>>127822963
what would my attack be as a witchblade? I don't see any synergy there at all
I still don't like how Mornay sees Elsa as a daughter but Elsa says he sees her as his dead wife. I want to say his dialogue was a bit different in previous builds but I don't remember.
Either it's an error and they flat-out forgot to update/change text, or one of the two is outright lying.
>>127824024
retaliation and procs on block for trash mobs, sigil and blood for sustain, pox with modifier low level heroes, doom bolt and possession for bosses
dying god constellation works wonders
play with a totem conjurer to see some serious shit
>>127824496
I have a totem conjurer right now and he's being trashed in elite right now... Gets one shot in ACt 1 by stupid shit....
>>127825226
you probably don't have enough vit damage or max vile eruption
>>127824335
What's wrong with having your daughter as wife?
>>127825393
im using totems. Not vile eruption. There aren't enough points to max wendigo, storm, saleals, sigil, AND DEE
This game is almost as bad as D3 at launch.
>>127826215
That's not even what I implied.
Anyone know when that awesome games done fast run of D2 is happening? This seems like the best place to ask since only faggot wow babies play D3.
>>127826846
You said it's either an error or one of the two is lying, but im showing you that there exists another alternative. If Mornay was married to his daughter then it would make sense without any of them lying
>>127826224
what? you will have 8 points left after maxing swarm, vulnerability, sigils, second rite, both totems and vile eruption with 1 point in gaze for CC

do I just need caster weapons, off hands and +whatever damage for phantasmal blades
>>127828212

why not go for maximum cooldown reduction shadow strike instead?

who the fuck is level 85 by the time they enter elite, anon?
this is my build so far http://grimcalc.com/build/16nbQ2
what exactly would i change to make DEE worth the point investment?
Also where do you suggest I farm for better gear? My resists are shit, that's for sure

>finally get an upgrade you've been looking for
>see lvl requirement
Thanks I guess
>>127828212
seeing as you're not going to be attacking, just go for whatever gives the best effects i guess
>>127828738
you need vile eruption more than levels in curse since you only benefit from vulnerability part
get 1 eye, 1 gaze and dump the rest into vile eruption
also remove shaman aura and blood, you will be getting all the health from wendigo
>mfw found an empowered shield with 96% vitality resist
would anyone want to watch me die in the steps of torment hardcore vet?

yes but only if you post feet
>>127829168
>http://grimcalc.com/build/16nbQ2
i put levels in curse just for the radius, since at level 1 it targets a pitiful number of mobs

Yes.
