How goes the farming?
Have you cleared Hardcore Ultimate yet?
No, got bored 2 hours in and refunded.
Its okay, I cn kill cronleys nemesis but good god, it takes ages
>>331434006
pmt
diablo-likes are a stale genre that needs to be trashed already
Just found the ultimate "fuck you chthonics" weapon.
why do all the skills in this game feel completely pointless? Titan Quest had the same problem
>>331434006
I should have done the same thing DESU.
>>331433961
I'm trying it out, it's... interesting.
The Devotions page is somehow more overwhelming that the PoE passives tree.
>Currently just whacking things as a Shaman and got my first Devotion point in the cave
It also took me WAY too long to figure out how to assign skills to my skill bar.
>>331436820
Early game shamn with Primal Strike as your default attack is lots of fun.
I think Savagery is better later on though if you're planning on being a melee guy.
I'd like to try a bleed or acid/poison build, either one any good?
So far I've done a tanky warder and messed around with a summoner, but got bored with the latter.
>>331437049
I'll keep that in mind, thanks Anon.
Also,
>Game looks like total ass, even with the grimdark aesthetic
>Runs worse than Path of Exile
I'm enjoying it, either way. Any major performance tweaks?
Is the game actually good? I somewhat liked PoE but fuck always online lagfest. It's the reason why I never bothered going ladder in Diablo 2, with all that fucking lag everywhere, even though I live like 200km away from the EU servers
>>331437160
Try a poison Witch Hunter, should be a nice change from your Warder.
Or you could go full caster with Warlock and spam Dreeg's Evil Eye.
>>331437218
I think it looks gorgeous. Try messing with the AA or Shadows, I don't know. It runs fine for me but I have a high end PC.
Question: does new gear appear in higher difficulties like in Titan Quest? I mean, not just rare items, in TQ I remember going from normal to next difficulty and there were new normal weapons and armor types even at the beginning wich you weren't able to find in normal
Alternatively is there any reason to play the game past normal aside from maybe more legendaries?
>>331437850
Yes, drops are actually tied to the enemy level and normal mobs don't go over something around 60 in BoC.
There are unique higher level rares as well as empowered versions of low level ones, and of course legendaries.
I was a huge fan of D2 back in the day. Please redpill me on this.
>playing hardcore
Madness, I say.
just killed warden krieg with a lvl 10 nightblade
10/10 would skip half of content again
>>331439043
What level was he when you got there? Scaled to you or higher?
>>331438829
you can do lots of customization in the skilltrees in grim dawn, its a lot of fun just building characters because you can choose two classes and got a xbox hueg skilltree with additional bonuses (devotion)
>>331433961
Is there any endgame?
How is the multiplayer?
Think about picking it up, since it finally isnt early access
>>331439183
a lot higher, somewhere around 20 i guess. i was too busy not getting killed to take a deeper look at him. its still doable if you learn which skills he can do and when he does which
>>331439434
>Is there any endgame?
not really, farming nemesis monsters I guess
>How is the multiplayer?
non existant my boy
It's still enjoyable
>>331439434
Been playing with 2 buddies for a bit. Only occasional minor issue of sometimes someone would be invisible but entering a cave or something would generally fix it.
>>331438829
No. Poe and Grim Dawn and Diablo 3 and Torchlight 2 are all shit
SHIIIIIIIIIT
just play diablo 2 for your fill
>>331438829
Classic formula with some really cool features like reputations, dual classing, crafting. Huge focus on character building.
My english is pretty bad so just check these instead:

>>331439043
Wouldn't it be easier to kill him with a ranged Fire strike build?
>>331439434
The endgame is beating the final difficulty which takes a while to reach and unless you bruteforce through everything by dying like a bitch a million times, it takes some time to farm the end-game gear.
Multiplayer is 100% optional, it works but isn't the focus, you can co-op, trade, pvp. I don't really mind myself as I never play online unless it's going to be with a friend.
For anyone who uses savagery or troll rage and wants to play online: host. When you're a client, your damage is bugged. Healthbars will still be bugged for other people in your game, but it's just visual.
I think the single greatest thing about TQ and Grim Dawn is ragdolls. In a game that's all about destroying swarms of monsters, there's nothing better than watching shit fly in all directions.
>>331439602
>not really, farming nemesis monsters I guess
Whoever thought Chillwind is a balanced boss was a retard.
>>331437049
I've restarted 3 or 4 times whenever I get to close to level 30.
I just started playing this build and i'm level 27 now. I'm hoping I can keep going this time.
>>331440615
What's not balanced about him? Except for his hundred millions HP, I think he's fine since he doesn't deal a lot of damage and moves very slowly.
If you're getting killed by his meteor shower, and that happened to my very first character that I built full glass canon (4k HP in Elite), then yeah, you built too glassy. Also helps to drink a few cold and freeze resist pots.
Any specific setups that can commit mass murder off-screen in this game? I love broken shit like Viperish Disease in S2.
>>331439828
>Wouldn't it be easier to kill him with a ranged Fire strike build?
i wanted to do a nightblade anyways, because
my character before that was a ranged pyromancer
>>331441121
>What's not balanced about him?
His freeze that triggers every 2 seconds on ultimate, despite having hoarfrost - DESPITE hitting him through a wall to avoid his ice crystals / ice wave.
Got to Ultimate and kinda lost interest in the game.
Can anyone recommend a good second class for a melee demolitionist focusing on fire strike? I was trying to do a range build before, but I like to be up close and personal.
>>331441680
As a melee, I have to say, as ranged Im sure he is a breeze.
Cronleys and Chosen/Vigil nemesis will fuck you up as ranged Im sure
>>331441823
Soldier probably.
>>331441925
I was thinking about that too, but I wasn't sure if it was better to go with a class that would give me some AoE shit or more buffs.
>>331442002
>some AoE
Sweep.
>>331441823
Soldier, Nightblade or Shaman are all very good choices.
TQ is better.
>>331443028
You should replay it.
>>331443028
Eh, I absolutely love anciant history but I dont like the aesthetic of the setting. I prefer GD.
What should I multi-class into as an Occultist?
I am focused on Poison/Acid/Bleed/Vitality damage, and mainly use Evil Eye and the disease Bloody Pox (with some Chaos Bolt in there for good measure).
Literally none of the classes seem good to go with it. I'm level 40 and have all my points in occultist.
Is monsters wearing the equipment they drop a thing again? It's something I remember being very noticeable in TQ but it doesn't seem to be as much of a thing in GD.
>>331443236
Choose 2 damage types to focus on. It's much better in the long run.
>>331443319
>Is monsters wearing the equipment they drop a thing again?
Yes, isnt as funny as you thing when a nemesis wields a good weapon
>>331443365
Is Aether damage ever worth speccing into ? It seems most boss would have high resistance to it
>>331443461
>most boss
not most, only Aetherials. Anyway iirc, almost no skills deal Aether anyway.
>>331437496
You don't have to be always online in this one.
I think it's good, the basic "left click things that explode" feeling is spot on. But I haven't been playing for long, so I don't know if that will be the case in a few weeks/months.
>>331443678
The elementalist ray thing deals mostly Aether I think and the Fire PBAOE has half aether. The thing is that most act end bosses seems to be aetherial. Are Chtonic mostly resistant to Chaos damage ? I'm thinking about going for a soldier/occultist build, maybe go for Chaos/vit damage.
>>331443132
I did.
It's better.
>>331444058
>Are Chtonic mostly resistant to Chaos damage ?
I think so yes.
Soldier is good in any combination since he has the best passives.
>>331443236
>>331443236
Seriously though. Which class goes well with a poison/bleed occultist?
>>331444686
Soldier.
Has some Bleed stuff and passives for defense
>>331443236
>>331444686
Nightblade if you're going to be melee.
If you just want to spawn DEE, then pick Arcanist for the defensive skills or Soldier for passive defense.
