New thread for the new Grim Dawn expansion, whaddya playin?
>>744047135I'm geim yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwning!But for real I've just finished homestead with my berserker. Decent so far, but I might not stick with werewolf.
is anyone still using click to move instead of WASD?
>>744047583yase
>>744047135waiting for my favorite buildmaker to tell me how to play zerker so I don't brick the character with the wrong 2nd mastery. so glad we can't respec those!
kill all WASDers
>>744047583click to move, classic ui, only one class
reminder
>>744048092idgi
Near the end of FGNear the end of the base gameI'm almost ready to die almost immediately on Hardcore in FoA and get pissed off
Just a PSA for anybody who needs it, you have to use a sword to harvest frozen asters. Shit was pissing me the fuck off until I figured that out.
>>744047583Yeah but I should probably switch, I didn't even know it was an option until I saw people mention it last thread.
>>744047135as someone who only played Diablo 3 and Torchlight out of the genre and hated both, shill me on this, why should I give it a shotwhy shoul
>>744047135None>make a beta launch over 10 years ago>we did put in sound while minimized>ummmm lolz what do you mean why isn't it in the actual finished game???? LOL JUST PLAY WITH NO SOUND BRO
>V1.3.0.1 Hotfix 1>Reduced burst potential of some early game bosses at lower levels (ex. Queen Ravna, Zarthuzellan, Bonehunter, Yurra, Blackheart).you didn't beat the game if you hadn't beaten these bosses before the patch
I ended up going with Primalist (zerk/shaman). Lightning/cold, tornados and totems and crow form. We'll see how it goes.
>that kurn shrine near the black citadelI cant seem to purify it bros... im getting filtered with this quest.
>>744047135heh
>>744048726>Bonehunter, Yurra, Blackheart>early game bosses
Currently running evoker birb, game has been annoyingly stingy with cold boosting drops.
can you un-soulbound items?
>>744049723Pretty sure you can if they were originally not soulbound, such as applying an augment
>>744048492aight fuck you too, enjoy your game
>>744049798how?
>>744049723Inventor can remove it, yeah.
>>744049723If it was soulbound because of an item augment you can destroy the components at the inventor to also remove the augment
Wereravens left click hits like a truck early on.
>>744048530Shit no one cares about enthusiast
>>744048726i've beaten the game on ultimate on hardcore a dozen timesno one cares that you cheesed overtuned bosses
>>744049832>>744049849thankssomehow I can't un-soulbound some looted items (could un-soulbound some amulet but couldn't some random rares and a unique item)
When you beat the game on normal, do you jump up difficulties ASAP, or do you complete the xpac stories?
>>744047728Who's your favorite build maker?
>>744050474Malmouth at least.
>>744050354>Didn't beat the game award
>>744050182I'm sorry you bought a scam
>>744050597?
>>744050474I play FG on each difficulty for each faction rep and at least get to malmouth resistance on normal to unlock rep gain for them too
>>744047135anons, I have grim dawn with all dlcs but never played itcan I play it without the expansion? DOes it matter in early game, or is there a proper content wall?
Where do you find more properties for the potion cauldron?where do you even unlock it out of Crucible
>>744050774If by that you mean you own the previous 2 expansions, then you'd have access to 9 out 10 masteries.New items have been added but that's all you'll be missing which you could find early-mid game.Nothing else matters in the current expansion for the first playthrough of base game + 2 areas.
>>744051036Thanks anonsyeah, I was asking if the DLCs were independent, self-containedeh, fuck it, I'll buy it when I play it
>>744050774you can't turn off the DLCs, if that's what you mean. but you can play through the campaign normally.crucible is an arena modeforgotten gods is a whole side bit you can do at any time after act 1 accessed from any town hubfangs of asterkarn is a huge side area which an npc will guide you towardsashes of malmouth is a continuation of the base gameso you can ignore the DLC maps and quests until you beat the base game
>>744050474I start fresh characters on Elite or skip through Act 1 in Elite to grab the early story quest EXP/shrines in under like an hour and then go to UltimateI have never bothered farming Lokarr for the speed leveling set or anything, just the double exp potion from the Malmouth faction vendor gets you to 30+ pretty quickly
>>744051085Malmouth starts after the base game is overYou can warp into Forgotten Gods after Act 1Fangs can start at the midpoint of Act 4 but you can't finish it without doing like 1/3rd of Malmouth and 95% of Forgotten Gods main quest.
>tfw hoarder
>>744051267GD Item Assistant
>>744048864need to collect and use frozen aster (one) on it, I've been there
>>744047135I think Ascendant mode needed some outside voices and playtesters to stress test it, and that the devs felt way too comfortable with it before releasing it to the public. This shit feels like it skipped over several difficulty tiers with how ridiculous the enemy health and damage is as a new baseline. I haven't even mentioned the Ascendant loot drop modifiers that can add even further difficulty for not that much actual bonus loot. So you START (and this is important) at 530% more health, and 45% more damage and increase it even more with said modifiers. You could end with enemies that have 1000% more hp than base Ultimate and nearly 200% more damage if you fill out every slot for increased resplendent chests, double rare drops, super totems etc. etc.I'm all for a good challenge but this shit jumped the shark really fast.
>only 10% offkinda cringe..
>>744051267i go on loot filter and turn off yellow items, now my life is so much better
>>744051467The way I see it right now its only worth doing Ascendant mode without the shrine if you specifically need the Ashes of Ascension to upgrade blues or to bring back with you to Ultimate to shove in the shrine there to actually farm Soul Echoes/Fragments at a reasonable speed.
>>744051467Part of the issue is they almost blanket buffed enemies in the last 2 major patches, the numbers on the ascension mode + shrine wouldn't feel so brutal if they weren't on top of that change
That guy is right, these mushroom circles are new.
>>744051509I only hoard blues and purples>>744051385currently trying to make it work thanksfuck windows

WASD is more tiring long term. You have to be WASDing all the fucking time. Whereas with click to move, I just click once and then occasionally move the mouse, if I just wanna run somewhere. Furthermore WASD makes it hard to click all my buffs and potions fast while moving (inb4 "no it doesn't, you're bad etc" - in fact, it DOES, and you don't realise that because you're stupid, and you're the bad one... retard!). This is quite important in GD because it's bursty and has lots of gay little buffs you gotta be using.
You DID find it, right?
should i do primal strike as bleed or lightning
>>744053414eh, i don't care about my fingers being tired. it's a fresh experience, relatively so. and if i get bored of it, i'll switch back to mouse movement, making it fresh experience too since i rested and didn't use it for quite some time. switching ways of experiencing games (even if its just small changes in gameplay loop) is a legit method to combat tedium, in general
>several threads>no fashionpost fashion

why the fuck is there a hotfix already?didn't they have enough time to playtest this shit?NOW they are thinking about adding WASD based evade? did it never occur to them to add that before releasing the 1.3?wtf are they even doing
>Fixed an issue where an entire stack of items could get consumed by the Ascension Altar in Multiplayer.lol
>>744053674I haven't found any of these. -_-
>>744054291>they release a full price expansion the same day as a new (free) poe league?Other way around. PoE decided to release their new league AFTER the Fangs release date was announced.
>>744054291Poopers will play Poop and Yawners will play Yawn.Simple as! You seem too retarded to get that though.
>>744055597They had about 6 years to playtest it and thought what they had was totally fine. Of course they were playtesting in house only for that entire time so I suspect everyone on the team got very good with the new mechanics while everyone else who wasn't so privileged is realizing there's some teething issues with the whole expansion.
>>744055597all the crashes tooreally feels like they phoned it in, especially after FF's success, as much as I like Crate and hate to say that and feel disappointed by Fangs.
>>744053210pooe bros are actually playing the game rn
Anons, how does Bleed work with duration increasing stats? Doesn't it lower the DPS?Baseline: 1000 total Bleed damage over 3s DPS = 1000 / 3 = 333.33 DPS.Your item: Bleed Damage +27% total damage becomes 1000 × 1.27 = 1270 Bleed Duration +44% duration becomes 3s × 1.44 = 4.32sNew DPS: 1270 / 4.32 = 293.98 DPS (≈ 294 DPS)So your DPS goes down by: 333.33 − 293.98 = 39.35 DPS Percent change: 293.98 / 333.33 − 1 ≈ −11.8%Answer: you net ~11.8% less Bleed DPS (from 333 DPS down to ~294 DPS) given those two multipliers apply to total damage and duration.
>>744056031You asked this and got it explained last thread.
I'm playing as a reaver, basically a close range wereraven. I'm still using ice talons, but some of the cold buffing shit from the nightblade are basically melee range. I hope this doesn't end up being retarded. It looks kind of cool, like he swipes with his claws when using Amarasta's Blade Burst.
>>744055885>>744054459>>744055792>fans of dead game willing to defend anything their fav company doesname a more perfect duo
>>744056167But enough about GGG and its fanbase.
>game is pay 2 win
bait used to be believable.
>>744056167Anyone who mentions price has their opinion immediately discarded. Nobody care more about money and how other people spend it than those that don't have it.
>>744056167It was all on sale a few weeks ago I think.
>>744048492>I hate this genre someone do my thinking for me?? >>744049823>Nvm I thought about something else!!No one cares bro buy the game and try it and refund it if its not fun
>>744055597Please understand. This was made by the autism of 12 people.
>>744056443Perhaps they needed a 13th warrior, without the tisms to keep the rest in order. A tard wrangler, if you will.
Guys is Grim Dawn still running like ass or no? I didnt play it since...forever. I just remember that it only utilized one core.
>>744056572Its running off a 20 year old game engine.So to keep it simple, no.
>>744055374Anon... you can beat any of the expansions in two hours if you start at a lvl 100 ultimate finished character... in fact I just beat fg in two hours today...
>>744055885Why not both?
>>744056693
>>744056693Many people do play both. Because grim dawn is a more a single player (or coop with a couple buds) rpg until youre bored. Poe is league mode hype game that's only played in the first 3 weeks of a new league and then dropped while you wait for a reset.
>>744056572I don't think most of these arpgs run well at times, every one I've played recently inevitably shits itself when there's a lot of stuff happening.
Since the expac dropped, I get weird jittering on the edges of my screen. Tried v-sync on/off, same with g-sync, it never goes away. My screen is 165hz, any tips?
>>744052038this is unreadable
>>744056783Get some glasses.
>>744056693Entirely different philosophy in loot. Grim Dawn is a bit more traditional as it's a single player focused game while POE2 is designed around its market and thus all loot drops are basically always amorphous shit designed for you to use "bases" to gamble and make the item you want.
>>744047135I was originally doing berserker + occultist, got it to around 32 before I was just getting completely outscaled by the enemy health pools and my damage just couldn't keep up. decided to play shaman + inquisitor and holy shit the difference is night and day. I'm crushing this game now.Is berserker just totally undercooked?
>>744056874Im not sure. Im doing a nightblade zerker and im on ultimate lvl 88 rn. Its pretty bad. Ive died around 40 times. Max resists except aether and 9k health atm. Just cant do any good damage and im just limping to 94 when I can take a good look at my stash of legendaries and see if I can "fix" it. But i think nightblade was a meme combo for my small brain.It was fine thru normal lvl 50 ish or so.
>>744056779try turning off deferred rendering
>>744056759>ARPG's shit the bed when theres a lot of shit on the screen>4X games shit the bed when saves get too bigMy favorite genres are perma cursed
I dunno if I should combine Onslaught with Blade Burst or Blade ArcI'm an indecisive chud...
>>744056954Yeah, but at least in grim dawn case i never drop to unplayable levels of fps. Neither in poe1 or d4. I dont think its THAT bad. Its just not that good either.
>>744056874>>744056945I am starting to think that zerker is by far the worst mastery in the game. It’s spread too thin between what it’s trying to do and ends up just being a worse version of other masteries with a transformation gimmick tacked on.
>>744057275it just hasnt had the years of buffs to make it not suck like the other classes have had
>>744057275Well, I dont mind the transformation in general, using the ice talons and cold snap is pretty good. Im struggling personally tho In just trying to scale it. Its meant to be spammy but the damage just falls off. Much of the gear related to wereraven is just okay or pushes it to chaos raven... maybe I should have just gone chaos raven..
>>744057381It feels like a weaker version of what the Inquisitor is. A mastery with a lot of support skills, but isn't exactly the easiest to use as your primary. It's the kind of mastery that splashes well with others that actually do have better base skills to use.
>>744056874zerker is absolute dogshit and it basically ruins the dlc for melike whats the point
>>744047135what are the best berserker builds to level? I wanted to go physical/pierce/bleed werewolf but I'm told wereraven is much better. Should I pair it with demo for -% elemental reduction or is there anything better? also should you go cold or lightning wereraven?
I wanna do DW but there's so many fucking optionsIs there a concrete "best" or is there a decent selection of good options? Like what's a great attack modifier?
>>744057568DW melee*I'm very indecisiveI'm filled with indecision...
>>744057568Not sure haha >>744057550Not sure haha
Chtonic planes are the bane of WASD movement. I can't see shit.
>>744056874not to backseat but you shouldn't max out the first node of the wind devil, only the second one, that grants you -% elemental res. Throwing in an extra point on the last node is also a good habit so you can enjoy the +1 to all shaman skills that you probably have. Also you should max out brute force (it has flat lightning dmg) and the heart of the wild (second node of pact of mogdrogen)
>crashed while fighting BeronathAre you kidding me?
>>744056031>New DPS: 1270 / 4.32 = 293.98 DPS (≈ 294 DPS)Duration does not change DPS. You divide by the original duration.
>>744057871Hes obviously using beronath which convert elemental to physical so the elemental resistance is redundant. Read the subtext nerd.
UNLIMITED PPOOOOWERRR
Zerker feels a hell of a lot better once I got Leap.Not sure if another CD skill would be better since onslaught stacks build super fast.
>>744056031>>744058054>Duration does not change DPS.To clarify it does not change the DPS of the individual dot instance, it just extends it. Duration can still increase your overall DPS since it will make crit dot instances last longer so you have more crit "uptime", and in other ways too. If you are focusing on dot damage, duration is probably gonna be a nice stat.
>>744048726is queen ravna the bee boss in a side area? I did think it one shotting me was kind of annoying.
>>744058218She's the dermapteran queen for one of the Homestead quests
>>744058475>Second phase whips her pants offBug women are built for BTC
>>744053804I'm not dead set on the weapon, it was just the most aether-y thing that seemed to fit at the time but I could go for something different. With Drain Essence being my secondary skill, the off-hand seems the most fitting.
So in the next expansion we will finally visit those parts legitimately, right? Right??
>>744059364You can go even further southwest from Devil's Crossing?
bwooooooooOOH
>>744059475yeah, there's unused walkable areas in there, since before Malmouth. Road is even longer than is shown on the screen and ends at some trees iirc, where seemingly area transition should be. Coords are something like:104.5, 5.48212, 300.5,95.5708, 2.8237, 400.542,If going, i recommend immortality cheat, since there's some deadly damage going further in the area.

>>744052038How long does it take to do all that stuff?
>>744056874Doing fine on cold birdman. Berserker only, haven't dipped into a 2nd mastery yet because there is very little synergy for cold builds. Still haven't maxed every cold skill in the berserker tree. A big issue is getting my hp chunked because the tree has very little defensive abilities.
i don't remember the game being this hard. does werewolf just suck or something? I keep getting clapped instantly and do fuck all damage
>>744059962early game enemies were buffed
>>744059962that area is hard at that level. you probably have no resistances
>>744059962Werewolf is ass. Bird is just okay. There's very little reason to dip in berserker unless you go for the transformations since there's very little skills supporting anything but that playstyle. They will buff it soon is my guess.
>>744059962Show resist
>>744059891I do a simplified version of that and I usually reach lvl 94 on a new toon in 12 hours.
>>744060106I just quit but I had 7% chaos resist. also playing on normal
>>744060145Yeah just ignore area. You should pad the chaos resist after Act 2 however, or you die to Bolvar in Blood Grove
>>744060054That's nonsense, onslaught supports very many builds, and wereforms are good as supp skills for anything that isn't a DAR
>>744060054>>744060238If you're not talking about max level, then yeah I agree (but I don't care personally lol)
Werewolf (and maybe to a lesser extent, wereraven) are completely fucking gimped and the class as a whole is split in half without the ability to mix in WPS skills. It's obvious that the class has been balanced around having a temporary transformation state with a timer that most likely scaled around the levels you put into the skill. That stupid faggot Zantai should be drawn and quartered and possibly crucified, after they cut his spindly faggot bearded neck open. If anyone's interested I made a mod to fix the WPS interaction with transformations. The hotfix broke it but I'll probably fix it this weekend. If you're reading this Zantai, get fucked and patch your fucking game. Make WPS work with the wolf.
>>744060106maybe your nintedo DS is dropping frames where youre actually getting hit
>>744060054Completely wrongBerserker is worth using for the sheer numbers of items that support its skill modifiers alone
>>744060428To add, those conversion skill modifers on the Werewolf/Wereraven are global, so you basically have free global pierce/cold-to-whatever conversion.
>keep getting one shot out of nowhere with 83-86% resists and 30k hp????????
>>744060360It's clearly balanced around endgame, since it's got TDM and max speed built into the forms, which is nuts, and then the insanity of onslaught. Also the various crazy end-game items and sets, which there is no way anyone in the community has tested to the point where they can say what is le balanced. What it's not balanced around is random 4chen casuals like (you). But don't worry, Crate aren't niggers like GGG who will go on reddit/4chan and get anally flustered and ruin their own game to cater to tards.
>>744060493crit? you can look at the 'highest damage received' stat in the character menu(III) iirc; if that's larger than your circuit breaker then you're fucked.for me it jumped from ~9k to ~13k in this dlc haha lol
>>744060493cap your physical resist
>>744060570no its definitely from spell effects that must be ticking at a thousand times a second or something
I saw someone mention there's a MI that converts Wereraven's damage to lightning. Does it drop from a specific mob/area?

>>744061436of course there are lower level versions
>>744061256>filenameyeah you're right, d4 is literally made by gooks and it shows(its a phone game/consolekek game)
>>744056945On paper, Reaver looks like an excellent synergy, either for bleed or for cold. I'm surprised you're having damage problems. Is it just the lack of spirit that fucks cold reaver, maybe? Would you say it's just straight worse than spellbreaker?

>>744062407Ummm sweetie, inquisitors get flat damage absorb on their seal, that's a very powerful stat, although it does require some tactiACK
>>744060506>the insanity of onslaughtyou can't even read the post you reddit brained, roach-mouthed nigger. which i expect considering your eyesight is ruined from staring down at zantai's microdick all fucking day.YOU CAN'T USE ONSLAUGHT IN WEREWOLF FORM. stupid nigger. the class is split in half and grim yawn fanboys like yourself CONTINUE TO SHOW you know nothing about the game. you played 10 mins with berserker then you came here to defend their stupid fucking design decisions. kill yourself.also the mod is fun. so livestream it when you do so i can jerk off. nigger.

anyone know where the third piece of the wereraven's poem is? the dirge of the night thingy
>>744062640Keep playing; it's along the main campaign and you can't miss it
>>744062640its literally impossible to miss any of them. just keep moving down the linear narrow path that is this entire "zone". seriously some the laziest design ever, all of these portals are like 30 seconds from each other

>wanted to try GD stash>nexusmods quarantined it because of "suspicious files"welp
>>744062601>YOU CAN'T USE ONSLAUGHT IN WEREWOLF FORM.No shit HOWEVER if you had done the needful and extensively perused grimtools, you might have noted that there are quite a few items giving onslaught stacks to werewolves. FURTHERMORE, and more fundamentally, you are conflating werewolf and onslaught. I never said you were going to use both. They are both good in their own right :)Also I played through all of ultimate new act and some of ascended with my ONSLAUGHT cooldown chaos BWC build although I have been trying wereraven spam BWC pic related.
>>744062949have you tried googling it you gorilla monkey ape homo?
>>744063006yeah? am I not allowed to comment on it? you punk ass bitch
so hon', enjoying the game~?
>>744062928IT'S AFRAID
>>744063060Oh you can do anything you like, my friend. Just remember that we're watching you.
>>744063098ya babe thanks for asking :3
So what element werewolf/wereraven seems to work out best at the moment?
Do you play on hardcore?
>>744063313No. Certainly not in FoA/Ascension
>>744063313I'm not some str*amer so no
>>744063327Seriously this shit would be rough. And that's a good thing, because it's actually fun/challenging.
>>744063313No I wanna have fun with fun skills and non meta builds with muh shields and autoclick
>>744063313My first 400 hours were hardcore only. Naturally I caved in as I didn't know how defenses worked and didn't want to wiki it.
>>744063313once i learn what's at the endgame i'll give hardcore a shot
>>744063313Yeah, usually. I haven't actually reinstalled yet after hearing the horror stories of FoA's bullshit balance though.Under the previous state of the game it was pretty comfy, with a handful of consistent difficulty spikes you could prepare for but otherwise quite reasonable. I find hardcore also lets me feed my obsession with making alts without feeling wasteful about it.
>>744063501god you hardfags are such little bitches
>>744062976>chaos BWC build although I have been trying wereraven spam BWC picbig white cock, i assume?
>>744063591Yes. In Grim Dawn, everyone is white or sometimes possibly hapa.
>>744053804bold of them to make the chestless armor still chestless on type 2 bodies
>>744063665this is nice oldschool thing, im used to this. I dunno why everywhere are niggers now, this games are not made in fucking Afrika.
>>744062976>Also I played through all of ultimate new act and some of ascended with my ONSLAUGHT cooldown chaos BWC What weapons are you using? I looked at grimtools and found a few that seem good but I'm not sure what I should be aiming for.
>rerolling ascended affixes requires an increasingly higher amount of soul fragmentsfuck off that's a ton of grinding
After trudging through the expansions....well, I think I'll just start a Commando instead. Maybe half of the new act was fun, but man they reused a lot of content despite spending 6 years making that shit.
Should I bother going DW with werewolf? I have a sneaking suspicion that shit fucks over my damage but I don't know if shields work in werewolf form either.
>>744064317>After trudging through the expansions....well, I think I'll just start a Commando instead. Maybe half of the new act was fun, but man they reused a lot of content despite spending 6 years making that shit.Yea, i wonder why but new locations are kinda old shit. 2 or 3 locations with same boars, 1 location with same old birds, 1 water location with crabs, some skeletons, wtf. and kinda 2 locations with new black swordsman vampires, this is okay. But you go through them, and you going to the crown of the world, again killing some boars and ols reused bigmans.
>>744063501Why not play through the game on a regular character first then? Hell you can even just not start on veteran and see what you can expect from the new content.
>>744060506holy based
Veil's Witness + Thunderous Strike is utterly insane.
Everything feels overtuned somehow. The incoming dmg is ridiculous, I have maxed elemental resistances and good gear for my lvl and I'm getting shitblasted on the regular for some reason. It's a wildly different experience from when I last played, a few years ago and I'm not sure I like the one shots, they don't make the game better or harder, just more tedious.
>>744064606careful you dont crowd your bar with too many skills now
>>744064667kek
>trying to figure out how to get into the skeleton key dungeons that I can see on the map>its content that isnt released yetthe fuck?
>>744064785Uhhh sorry bro. Soon... probably.
>>744064667Here you go. But seriously, those new items that increase total damage for skills in exchange for increased cooldown are broken in combination with 100% cooldown reduction.Lightning Primal Strike is probably even stronger than Aether. Stormserpent Quick Jacks shoul also be strong.
>>744063960Still using ugdenbog flamestrife, with that black bloodnigga's shield (MI), my plan was to use double shadowhearts with onslaught but it's more difficult to obtain than I anticipated so I actually started playing on another character.
>>744063313I haven't played hardcore in any game like this since I lost a Diablo 2 character I put tons of hours into to a really shitty lag
>>744064842Seriously all this TDM onslaught cooldown shit is insane, the number of crazy but janky builds this will create... I might have to quit my job.
literally what the FUCK is his problem
Here's some Grim Fashion.
Do any niggas know what the beaverniggers do? I have tried the reveal potion and I have 250 wood chips, maybe it's unfinished content.
Does duel wielding with the triple hit on Nightblade actually have 3 chances to proc effects?
where the hell was that damned wereraven for the quest?
>>744065293NoIt was like that at some point, I think, but not anymore
is there are actually any reason to use 2h non popular weapon? Like Skythers, SPEARS, and so on? i think big blunts are kinda used in soldier/shaman builds, 2h guns looks like alright too. But there are like, millions of 2h halberds, spears, skythes, are there any build that benefit from that? I think usually 2 weapons with 2 sets of bonus are more good, in any way
>>744048092Im not sure what i'm being "Reminded" of.While I understand crow form not utilitizeing skills that work with default attack, I don't get why werewolf dosent. All melee builds use that, so why gut that from werewolf, id rather then nerf the werewolf skill (If its overpowered, which I don't think it is) so that werewolf can use those skills.
Any shrigma males?
Any thoughts on which is best on Werewolf claws? Focusing mainly on bleed and pierce.

>The Dread spawning inside a roguelike dungeon with a health regen modoh goody
>>744065814She was a funny character. GD storytelling is so peculiar. She was actually quite scary despite being very feminine and sitting on her ass the entire game.
FoA is more than I could've hoped for. Thank you based crate.
>>744062976It looks like you're using demolition as a sub class. Is it better than Occultist for a chaos build?
so... if I have a devotion attached to savagery and 100% combined WPS proc chances, does the devotion ever trigger?
>>744047135so, is it worth grabbing, 18 buckaroos is a bit steep, I've started a new character before the expansion released
Why is veteran mode fucking my butt without my consent?
>>744066053It's unclear as there are so many powerful new items and also new challenges. You can't go wrong with occultist due to the huge amount of passive damage reduction it has from the phys resist thing and possession. But demo should also be good and it looks like there's a ton of crazy item support that will take a long time to "figure out".
why didnt they do a discount on the main game and expansions? not going to drag in new players with these prices
>>744066292they did one right after the summer sale and there is a cooldown between discounts.
>>744066290
>>744066379My brother. I also have four shadowhearts but I don't know what to do with them or how to find the other two
>get through base game campaign>time to start the expansion>get the urge to try another build>anything I come up with has something I dislike about itFuck
How do you faggots distribute attributes for werewolf? Right now im focusing a bit more on physique but im debating going all in on cunning later. Depends if I go soldier or nightblade as my 2nd
>>744065338In that case why would I want to proc it over other effects?
>>744067080i thought about it very deeply and decided i will yet again put all my points into physique
>>744056376>just consoom product and get excited for more product
>>744067158I honestly never really thought about it but if you can get it above 100% weapon damage for a low amount of points there's no reason not to use it. I doubt the actual damage is 3xWeaponDmg because otherwise it would pretty much be the same or better than the last node in the tree.
>>744067158Because 3 hits in the space of one attack means you'll crit more frequently than other attacks which is kino for on-crit procs
>>744066467I bought some old quest from a rover merchant hidden on an island and I have no idea where to use it lol. Also a fucking axe and both are 4 squares big.
>>744065421>I don't get why werewolf dosentI assume it's because it would require a lot of work for the extra animations.
>>744067714>>744067426Is nightblade good with soldier? I dont see any particular synergy beyond raw stat? Necromancer seems better with the lifesteal and the aura debuffs.
>>744068052>Is nightblade good with soldierIt's good but it's noob trap
>>744066123I believe it always counts replacers, wps proc or not.
>>744047135>>744047135I need to know which mods I need for this, are they good now, or is it too early, and are they still releasing patches for the expansion and when will it stabilize? I really want to start playing it but I'm afraid everything is still fucked.
>>744067882Not really. All those on default attack stuff just tacs on stuff on hit. I'm thinking of the passives from soldier and what. Why can't those work on werewolf basic attack.
>>744067882Even its own passive that work on default attacks, bloodfangs, don't work with werewolf which is just downright stupid.
>>744068087thisblademaster can be quite good but it's not usually super ez
>die on hc>now stuck in theorycraft hell deciding what build i want to play
>>744068307It's a class for GD fans, not for redditors.. sorry. They said they already made enough money and that they think most players are "horrible retards".
I thought I'd like berzerker since shapeshift druis was my favourite d2 class but its kinda boring so far.Might go back to old reliable fire strike purifier instead
>>744047135Still doing nightblade/berserker, currently stuck farming for good spectral longswords so I can continue oneshotting everything I don't like.
>>744067882Just add an animation for a single target WPS and one for the ones that hits multiple targetsIt's not like anyone would give a fuck
>>744068368>I thought I'd like berzerker since shapeshift druis was my favourite d2 class but its kinda boring so far.berserker-wolf is literally kinda druid-wolf from diablo 2, the one that spread bleedin on lots of targets.
My hot take is that they probably should've just put this effort into making Grim Dawn 2 instead of yet another expansion.
what's the point of this guy beyond being a retard
>enjoy oleron's devotion proc>constellation is too expensive + you can't really give up mark of the assassin for any non-babby mode contentsuffering...
>>744068362i lol'd>>744066274couldn't agree more. except maybe the music, is ok.
Should I buy the Crucible dlc?
>>744068659Feels like some kickstarter backer tier dude lol.
Wait why is veteran harder now? I didnt play in a while and I just saw people here mentioning it.
>>744067882it really wouldn't. if you use item granted hit skills the wolf will do a specific animation tied to it. would it really be hard to give it the slam animation for shears, three strikes for mutilate, etc.? shit is lazy, they clearly didn't know how to balance around the skill and changing the class 2 days before release doesn't help (after like 5 years of development)
Did retaliation builds get any new tools or am I still forced to use an acid sentinel setup?
>>744068482What skills from Nightblade are good for wolf-berserker?
>>744068659Even if he is retarded and blind, the flame armor is kind of cool.
>>744068659He's a minor character in one of FoA sidequests
>>744068779Yeah bosses in particular are now putting up a real fight.
dreeg evile or forcewave or primal strike guy?
So what's the /verdict/ on the wereraven?

>>744068956pain peko
>>744068982I'm not even sure dodging does anything unless you dodge away from the enemy. Feels like they just rotate towards you to complete their attack anyway.

>>744069345everything's viable as long as you don't care about uber bosses and shattered realm
>>744069193Forgot pic.
Who hits harder: ancient eldritch god-like abomination or some priest on middle floor of a dungeon? Answer might surprise you.
>>744069361I don't think soldier does much for minions
>>744069361Why on earth would you choose Soldier as a secondary mastery for a pet build. And we can just leave it at that.
>>744069361not for minions unless there are some extra special items for it
>>744069146me on the rightAnasteria on the left
>>744069654>>744069676Death Knights are cool is why>>744069725Well shit. It was supposed to be about minions but having HP to tank shit if minions are slow or die too fastMy other build was Occult+Necro for minions (using bloody pox and dot maxxing until then) but I haven't caught up yet and I hate homestead. I can't play my higher level death knight because my brother wants to do the 2nd DLC with me and he is already behind in levels so I can't really do anything
loli footjobs
>>744069854Skeletons are probably the best summon to combine with a non-summon mastery due to their number. Skills like Iskdandras, Flame-touched, etc work really well for them.
>>744069914No thank you
>>744069914based but this is a grim dawn thread
>>744069025yeah that nigga melted me.
>>744068841only your actives. ring of blades is ok since you'll be in the thick of mobs, blade burst doesn't really scale and makes zero sense since you get no WPS, shadow strike and breath is obvious choices, and you just stack your passives after you max your wolf stuff. its really very lackluster and the sheen of the mobility gets really old once you start falling off around 50. WPS and attack speed are really big parts of the nightblade kit and onslaught is needed to ramp things like ring of blades and shadow strike. it seems overpowered but it just...isn't.
>>744062639oh nice they added the loading screen
>>744069945I was using skeletons and blight fiend for the death knight.For occultist I just have a hound for the moment because I haven't gotten anything for necro yet and am mostly pox maxxing.Is death knight good at all or is it just complete shit at almost everything?>>744069914Mesugaki femdom loli footjobs
>>744069361grim dawn is janky as fuck in that skills aren't really made to be viable on their own or in general, rather they're made to slot into specific end game gear sets, and if there is no end game gear set for it, it isn't meant to be (when i say sets I don't exactly mean set-type items, there's plenty of "standalone" legendary items that may as well be sets because the bonuses they give are so overfocused to one specific kind of skill on one specific kind of character, and so they'll pretty much always be used with the other kind of items that also benefit that specific build).
>>744062639she uses magic to make it work

>>744070040>e. it seems overpowered but it just...isn't.it is kinda not seems overpowered, that's why im actually asking what can work here. first passive for 2 weapons (literally dual blades) gives to wolf lots of damage. Ring of steel need 20 points invested in mastery, and it's addon need 40 points invested, this is like, 20 levels more, without any other useful shills. some bullshit yea.

>>744065601is this modded?I remember trying this game years ago and the character model looked like he came from a PS1 game.
>>744070739The game has gone through several graphical overhauls over the years
>>744070720Those are both pretty okay depending on execution. Both could even be the same character with the "bad" femdom being the foreplay to the "good".I hate the ultra hardcore shit where they permanently maim you, or the scat, or whatever else. Like I'm okay with some temporary pain and teasing and supremacy and what have you but only to a fucking point.I remember playing this one game where a chick literally decapitates you and brands you and shit and I was just thinking what the fuck the whole time.

>>744071109I'm obviously not a werewolf, since i have onslaught, but rallying cry, pneumatic burst and generic life steal do the work just fine
>>744070681This is basically what I've been doing but I have some points in cadance and the melee strikes for Necro until I get what I want in soldier levels and I have the extra points in the blight fiend skills

>voidy void sword of voidness
How do you decide on a class to play?I've tried to start this like 5 times now and none of them seem interesting and it just feels like i'm picking a different color of cone or circle to spam for the next 500 hours with nothing else interesting about the skill.Tried whatever the closest equivalent to d2 skellies back closer to launch and dropped it really fast, but i'm not even sure I want to try that now including DLCs.

Does berserker Battle Surge which activates 100% on CRIT mean that on CRIT devotion skills will never work?Secondly, still very new but I've never seen any Critical Rate boosts, just damage. Are on Crit traits worth investing in?
>>744071664Crit chance is determined by offensive ability, which you want as high as possible
>>744061742im not a pussy
>>744071519>revoidler voidelot
>>744071664>Secondly, still very new but I've never seen any Critical Rate boosts, just damage. Are on Crit traits worth investing in?i actually thing critical damage boosts is some meme, because you mostly, can crit only some low easy mobs, not big ones, because big bosses would have more stats than you every time, and you will have like 4% chance to crit some good boss.
>>744071834OA is not a dump stat, anon. You can consistently crit super bosses if your build is strong enough.
>>744071664>CRIT devotion skills will never workI don't follow. It's not a replacement, it's an effect on crit.
I bought this game 8 years ago, and I remember it getting shilled on pre-neo vagina /v/ a lot. In reality ir felt really boring and sort of generic.
>>744072007That's good to know. I thought they were like the proc skills and fell into same pool if trigger conditions met.
>>744071973>OA is not a dump stat, anon. You can consistently crit super bosses if your build is strong enough.yea if build strong enough, so literally "you if playing as some special planned imba with overgear, with gear that you farmed for hours already", but usual players would have pretty little critical chance agains good bosses, skeleton door bosses, or nemesis
Haven't got much time yet but I'll run my 88 Blademaster twin stick build double dual-wield melee/pistols switch health mincer for a run. See how far it can make it in it's present incarnation.
>>744071513This always happens when I burn out and play too much.
>constellation spell triggers on crit>hovering over spell in my bar doesn't show crit rate
>>744071834>>744072273Getting good OA is not only easy, it's borderline mandatory and part of the game's core design.
>>744072273Getting somewhere around 10-20% crit chance is not that hard to get to. It's about 2900-3100 OA. Getting higher then that means sacrificing something somewhere else, but this is an ARPG, killing things faster and more efficiently tends to be the real endgame.
>>744072443your crit rate is determined by your OA relative to an enemies DA so it's different for every type of enemy
Odds OppressorEvens Sentinel
>>744072443you kinda yea, have different crit chance agains every mob. so, against some miniboss i have about 5% critchance on some location, and about 10% against usual mob. with some mid suboptimal build.
Uooooooooooogh It's time to yawn!
>wood chip>metal sfx
>>744072513Which makes some skills that lower a targets defensive ability basically do the same as giving you that same amount of OA to the target.

>>744073505Good work then!
One of my old level 100 characters can't beat Loghorrean on Ultimate anymore. I have all resists overcapped and he has 13k HP which isn't awesome, but he's still one shotting me with those fat red projectiles and the circular aoe that follows you in the arena melts my HP within seconds now when before this wasn't the case. This used to be a trivial fight. Did something happen? Did they beef up enemy damage?
>>744073587Yes, before the xpac officially launched they released a 1.3.0 patch that changed a lot of things. Enemy health (bosses especially) and damage were one of them as well as toning down the health gain on a lot of pieces of gear.
>>744073587i've heard that Ultimate bosses and some big mobs are hard as fuck now, but there are even Ascendant difficulty, which is harder,. I assume it is only for meme builds or something?
>>744073972If you're build can handle SR 30, then you can "reasonably" handle Ascendant, it's just going to be a slog all the way through for not a lot of reward for doing it.
I like pets but I dont like zooshit. Is there a way to gigabuff my briarthorn and not get filtered by ultimate? I know grim yawn heavily punishes hybridization
>>744073887>>744073972Damn, that's a shame. I can literally face tank everything as before, but the few attacks either one tap me or melt my health so fast I virtually have no time to react. Out of curiosity I peeked at the Steam forums and it seems like I'm not the only one who is having this exact same experience, so maybe I'm not just taking crazy pills. I was playing with my pet builds before and didn't notice any issues but after hopping in on my other dudes I was running into problems where I'd just be cruising along just fine against a boss and then suddenly just die. Guess it's time to bench this game again until a mod or a patch changes it back to where it was.
>>744074120Yea I just made a salty post about my pet character getting onetapped by some unavoidable attack. Shit isn't fun

Do I jump straight into ultimate after completing veteran?
So I just learned that if you turn werewolf and use a 2hander, it slaps twice with the same weapon by default. This means werewolf is kinda biased toward 2hander by default, despite being slotted in the dual wielding class.I'm aware there are 1handers that synergize with the skill but rn it just feels like a 2hander skill out of the box due to massive front loaded damage

>>744075101Yes Crate Entertainment will hunt you down and perform a rapetrain on you. Then you will explode.
>>744071613
>>744075101AoM is only 9 years old you sick fuck
>>744074918Sure, why not, lot of XP gain to be had. I have heard Ultimate is harder now though.>>744075148Yes, you'll be sent to Kreig's basement
>>744074972it is kinda nice but you lose "implements of war" passive, i think, and you lose ability to wear 2 weapons, each of them giving bonuses like "+2 to werewolf". There was dropping some okay 2handers in black bastion new location, i think but im not sure where it is worth it. and you lose "dual weapons" passive from nightblade, so you need something something to support that 2hander choice, i dunno what.
>>744074918Before I'd say yes, but after the patch I'm not so sure. You can certainly try.
Am I still just supposed to pump physique or did they make the other stats good now? Also, how are you supposed to get OA when you are only leveling physique?
Any reason to play Berserker if I don't wanna be a furry?
>>744063313I didn't play with the new patch yet, but previously the vanilla game was designed to be perfectly playable on hardcore, while the endgame content (superbosses, SR and Crucible) was designed to kill you over and over, until you learn how it works and become really good both with your build and your gameplay. And even then you had a good chance to die in SR and Crucible if you get far enough.Now anons are saying the vanilla game is overtuned. Maybe they are filthy casuals, maybe they are right.
>>744074783Nope but it was an extra dark part of the woods.
>>744075202Typically the passives only help dual wielding weapons keep up with 2handers. The main thing that drives dual wielding damage is either shit like Shadow Strike (which intentionally has massive damage) or weapon pool skills.Late game 2 handers have around 450 base damage and 1 handers have around 150; so most passives can't really keep up with the damage difference.Main issue is definitely +skills, so if I farm a 2hander (likely Voidcarver blade from the birds) I need an affix like "untamed rage" (+4 werewolf)
>>744075238They've revamped the stat balancing slightly so I'd say it's safe to invest some points into your damage stat if you want. Hell, I always did that and always ignored dumping all my stats into physique. I've hated that kind of degenerate stat design ever since Diablo 2 and refuse to partake in it, and I was always able to complete the games.
Is there any point to auto attack skills if I'm using an active skill for my damage?
>>744068956You're gonna see him for like 1 second before he Shadow Strikes your ass and kills your auras.
>>744074017except, you know there are mats for ascending your gear that only drop on ascendant
>>744075528fr bro finna bout to fanum tax on Mogdrogen
>>744069361It's not a class for a summon build, but I had a really fun tanky summoner meme build with ghosts and the swarm relic. There's something very satisfying about facetanking while your summons kill everything, even though a normal summoner build is much more effective.
>>744073435It'll be ok. Everything is better with doughnuts.

Acid werewolf. Seems rad.
>mistborn talisman is required for like 20 items>recipe for it is only dropped by 2 bosses in the entire game

Tips for a 2h weapon Acid melee fighter? I'm going Oathkeeper + ??? and can't figure out what's the best secondary. For the purpose of this build I'm taking the Path of the Three exclusive skill so there is some physical and fire damage converted to acid before items come into play and I want to use Righteous Fervor as my main attack but I'll need some skills that activate from default attacks as well.Occultist has Curse of Frailty and Blood of Dreeg, both awesome spells but not sure if it's worth taking the mastery for them alone.Nightblade has Nidalla's Hidden Hand but that's for dual wielding.Soldier Any brainstorming ideas are welcome.
>>744076046Chaika in the thread!
Downloaded a map to remove the FoW from the map and it makes the game a lot more fun. Still greys out unexplored areas but you at least know if you missed a spot.
Is it still yawn inducing?
>>744076461Yeah it's pretty grim
>>744075858yeah but its a like 20% drop rate on two easily killed bosses that have a single spawn point. aint that hard
I was playing fine yesterday but now it says I wasn't running the game on steam and refused to start. What the actual fuck?
>>744076059Occultist for acid but I think youd be much better off with sword and board.
How does conversion on Blood of Dreeg (or other buffs) work? Like https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/822 for example. Blood of Dreeg doesn't deal damage in the first place (it has a little bit of retaliation and flat acid), so it wouldn't benefit from flat found elsewhere. How would you get Elemental or Aether damage on it?Or does it work like a gear affix and converts all aether damage, regardless of source, while Blood of Dreeg is active?Also related, why does Demo's flame touched add damage to BWC but Occ's Solael's Witchfire does not?
>>744076539I look like this irl
>>744076656If conversion is given to a buff skill, it means you get global conversion after buffing yourself.The item is kind of supposed to help a weird set up, Arcanist/Occultist that deals acid damage. It allows say your Aether beam to be converted to acid after you buff yourself with Blood of dreeg.Demo's flame touched has % fire damage which affects all sources of fire damage.Solael's witch fire adds flat chaos damage and % vitality damage, neither of which applies to BWC (it needs % weapon damage to benefit from the flat chaos, and it needs vitality damage to benefit from the % vitality damage). You can level Second Rites to increase the chaos damage from Demon Fire however.

>>744068186>I need to know which mods I need for this, are they good now, or is it too early, and are they still releasing patches for the expansion and when will it stabilize? I really want to start playing it but I'm afraid everything is still fucked.Please respond.
>>744076926you don't need anything to start playing, homie.
>>744076926you don't need anything.rainbow loot filter does help but you won't understand the colors if this is your first time playing
>>744076806>Solael's witch fireAh, my bad. I thought the flat fire gets added to skills because it was a buff, but but looking again more closely I see now that BWC's fire damage (on char sheet) only slightly increases with points in Flame TouchedBuff conversions is good to know, I thought it worked the opposite and only applied to the skill itself since it was tied to the skill. Man that's confusing. One buffs applies to everything (conversion) but another buff only applies to some things (flat damage).
>>744076598Very possible. I just like the aesthetic of hitting shit so hard with a big heavy weapon that it sends magic flying around.
>>744076059Oathkeeper + Nightblade has some support and is pretty strong late game albeit squishyMain damage source is going to be from Lethal Assault, transmuted Righteous Fervor and the dual wield proc (Execution)The big scorpion boss in Forgotten Gods drops a nice mace for the build. Either that or just farm the riftspawn bugs and they randomly drop a dagger that gives 50% cold to acid conversion.>Nidalla's Hidden HandsSadly this skill kinda sucks for lots of reason; like how it doesn't benefit much from dual wielding multiplicative scaling and how it doesn't benefit from multi hitting. In theory it can do some damage but in practice 95% of your damage is from flat acid.
>>744077635I'd check the database for a related weapon you might want to use then choose your second class based off that.
She cute and gave me 2 upgrades.And then I died to the boss in 2 hits.
>>744076848Prison fun times!
>>744077013>>744077075If I start now and they start putting out updates will this change anything and brick my character? Also, mouse+kb or gamepad?
>>744078101the actual boss or the optional one that covers the entire arena in aoes?
>>744078304you can play the same character/file if you add a mod later or remove it.
So I booted up GD this morning and now I don't see my characters. Yesterday they were all there including my berserker. I'm running on Linux and pissed that my day off has started trying to figure out what happened and wondering if my toons got deleted.
Where are the wight's weapons?

>>744078547You need to switch proton version from 10 to maybe 11

>>744078630Just use one of the trillion movement augments then?
>>744078652i kinda interested in another such secret mechanics, but drops kinda not giving anything
>>744078671arent these things lvl 50+? I admit it has been years since ive played
I am watching trough data files and there is a fucking Wendigo shapechange for Occultist's Hellhound. What item is that? Sounds fucking amazing, especially on occultist/shaman.
>>744078652is this arcanist + berserker? I kinda wanna try that
>>744078547If you have cloud saving disabled and uninstalled the game, your local saves are gone forever because the game's prefix also gets deleted.

>>744078765It's a warlock. Look at that curse of frailty.
>>744078354I actually beat the optional one and then died to the quest target.
>>744078773Thanks I just remembered that I woke up at 3am and Satan made me reinstall the game, good call kind sir, many happy reddits to you!

>>744079000Oathkeeper has a whirlwind skill, Berserker too
>>744079029i remember getting back into both titan quest and grim dawn a couple years ago. i'd like to play something strong without having to research builds for 10 hours before playing. anyone have suggestions?
>>744079125Just pick two classes with matching damage
>>744079125https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/build-compendium-x-forgotten-gods/49673play oathkeeper + warrior strong whirlwind man then
>>744079125It's a bit weird if you don't want minimal researching since the game is a bit heavy on meta knowledgePet builds tend to be relatively more flexible with items. You won't be optimized damage wise if you don't get the right set up, but having a clown car's worth of minions make your baseline survivability very good.Take something like Necro/Occultist. Max skeleton and hell hound. Go to constellation and max anything that says "bonus to all pet". Find items that say "bonus to all pet".This should be very self sufficient, after that you can just look for any items that boost your hellhound or skellies.
>>744079181actually use this one https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/beginner-build-compendia-for-fangs-of-asterkarn-forgotten-gods/106137beginner grim dawn builds mostly mean that you don't need pre-existing gear to make it work. you can self-found your way to success.
>>744078642Tried that. I'm sure I was playing all day yesterday on 10 just fine. Version 9 throws an error on launch "Grim Dawn requires Steam." Version 11 hangs on launch with a black screen that crashes when I force close it.>>744078773I have never enabled nor disable cloud gaming. It also restored my characters just fine when I reinstalled and bought Fangs yesterday.Aw man I really hope this isn't 500 hours down the drain. Dang it.
>>744078781i don't want BEAM, i want other skills with secret mechanics
>>744079336They released a hotfix that broke Linux on proton 9. Proton 10 has a steam cloud issue. This is reported on the forum.As for Proton 11 I think you need to occasionally click it when it's black screen because it doesn't actively recognize that it's being focused; at least that has worked for me.
>>744077941Thanks for the tips. I'm finding that even my tanky guys are quite squishy in Ascendant so I think I'll avoid the Nightblade for now. My Reaper gets blown up even in Ultimate now, which is somewhat concerning.>>744078054That's what I usually do but I just wanted to take the opportunity to talk about Grim Dawn instead since I have no one in real life who plays this game to talk with.
>>744071346If you want to be an aids merchant you are probably better off with Occultist + Shaman using bloody pox and wendigo totem. You'd have to find some vitality -> acid conversion though because I don't know if there are modifiers for those that turn them into acid
>drop from Ultimate Krieg Fuck yeah
>>744079259that's a link to a whole thread of builds
>>744079539Nightblade will eternally be squishy, just make sure to max Ill Omen on necro and cast it before engaging (25% damage reduction, up to 35% overcapped) and pray that you kill enemies before they kill you.Also life steal helps a lot.

>>744079397No luck. Man, I'm fucked here. Could you link a Proton 10 steam cloud issue if you have it handy? What are the odds this thing gets resolved and I get my characters back? Pretty small, right? Fuck, so much time and grinding. FUCK
>>744079850ok cool, i'm sure when i hop back into the game i'll pick shit up quick, i'm just autistic about planning. thanks pal
>>744079875The Proton 10 steam cloud is known. I have it. It's mentioned in the comments herehttps://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/cannot-launch-the-game-after-v1-3-0-1-hotfix-on-linux/156421Most people seem to get the issue resolved by going into Proton 11. If you don't have "must launch through steam" issue, maybe Proton 9 works.
>>744079875>No luck. Man, I'm fucked hereDid you try switching proton versions, try 11 if you haven't.
>tfw no aetherial gf
>>744079902beginner builds are helpful because they autistically lay out the build process like what your build should look like every 10/15 levels, the exact path to connect all of the proper devotions, where to find specific MIs and other pieces for your build along the way, etc
>>744079932I found where I can explore my Steam Cloud on a game by game basis. I see all of my characters on there. Fortunately, I can download them. I'll start by doing that. I do have the must launch through steam issue with Proton 9.>>74407994711 hangs on a black screen on launch.
>>744080203On 11 have you tried waiting for like 10s and then just clicking once?I had the issue but later I realized it's just slower boot + it sleeps when not focused.

why the fuck is the game telling me out of nowhere that i need steam to run iti have it on steam and haven't had any issues. what the fug
>>744081206Well, Crate sat on GD release date until the very last moment too, we only got to know the date by the very end of the May. We also know for certain GGG have quite strict internal release schedule. So I'd say communicating releases schedules with their biggest competitor was on them too, GGG said they are somewhat open to B2B discussions like that (this situation happened before with LE, and they sorted it out for next league, so I assume GGG didn't just gave us PR speech on that topic and while they probably won't move anything around, they are at least willing to disclose their plans to other developers).I am not even trying to say Crate are retarded, but with weird sales fuckup and sharing release with PoE it clearly didn't do them justice.
