The malmouth chick was way hotter
>>744491432Bustier maybe.
Another update?
I love affix-rerolling
>>744491432Consider this though.
>>744491720I really need to look into that, how does it work?
>>744491736body hair is fucking gross
>>744491696https://steamcommunity.com/app/219990/discussions/0/586181727714820947/
>>744491752it is one of the inventor services, it rerolls the affix for one of equal or greater rarity so you can "upgrade" a single rare to a double rare and end up with some crazy stuff.Costs ashes of awakening like crazy tho
Wow DRUDD faggot sure has a lot of lifesteal. That was the longest I spent on a boss on my summoner so far throughout all of the base game + AoM Ultimate.
>>744491043Temu Diablo
>>744491776you are fucking gay
>>744491827Oh okay, I've just barely started Ascended difficulty, so I don't have many of them I don't think. I read that Magic items get better Ascended Affixes than rares, so would the meta be Magic Item > Ascend > Upgrade both affixes to rare?
>>744491736>>744491662redheads are gross, both men and women.
>>744491043Made an Apostate DoT build. Level 15. Played TQ so I know the general idea, max a few skills and dump points into mastery bar. Save attribute points for endgame. I wipe out mob packs with the spreading dot in a few seconds. Maxed out the necro resistance shred aura so they die instantly. Also have dual pistols to proc the necro auto attack skill more often.I do no damage to bosses. The warden took like 10 minutes to kill. Their HP is huge. I'm on veteran. Either the tuning is borked or I'm not playing this right.
>>744491895you don't need to be on ascended difficulty, just offer the blue flowers in the kurnhold altar and then farm voidmarked chests>so would the meta be Magic Item > Ascend > Upgrade both affixes to rare?never tried that, maybe it works or maybe it removes the now-incompatible affix
>>744491872why did they make the warlock look so gay
>>744491993>Save attribute points for endgameNah you can respec in end game, no need to hoardAlso Veteran is kind of a waste, going through Normal faster then skipping to Ultimate is smooth>>744492018Interesting, I'll have to visit the altar and see what these voidmarked chests are all about then
>>744491132I liek rainbows
>>744492095So it's the difficulty? That's lame.And I just want to say, I was told this game had good visuals and story, that was a fucking lie
>>744491132I'll take you to clown to you little bitch, how does that sound?
>>744492189>he doesn't know about the tentacle breeding factories
I need some gear that actually buffs Trozan's Sky Shard god damn, help me find some
anyone else get an infinite load screen after 9-10 shards in the shattered realm? really fucking annoying losing all of that progress and getting no rewards because of janked out loading screens.

One last question: if I acquired the game with a letter of marque, how do I update the game?
>>744492437If you haven't already accepted it, somebody in the last thread said if you quit to main menu and go back it'll reroll

>>744494185most of them have that. check the beginner URL.
>>744493785I would if I could
AH, YOU ARE STRONGBUT NOW I WILL DEMONSTRATE MY TRUE POWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Safe with me. Promise!~ ^_~
i'm getting my shit pushed after beating Krieg wtf? am I supposed to grind a bunch?
>>744494808Class(es) and what are you doing build wise?
i've seen people mention this before, i keep it for a secret quest right?
>>744491662Also hotter, she's not living on a cold as fuck mountain.
>>744494892yepnobody really gives you a quest though you just gotta find all the shit
>>744494892Nah man you sell it to the vendors in Valburry for a secret surprise.
neat
>>744494971I don't think it matters for a person who can shit out fireballs like a minigun with unlimited ammo
OK So I started the game and everything after Krieg has been kinda dull I just got to homestead am I gonna fight monsters more interesting than Mr. Bones and banditos?
finally got the apoc shoulderbooba
>>744495317Okay this is a bit weird but ... full Apoclypton set doesn't make your Guardian of empyrion look like firedogs. You have to use the Gryphon medal. It's really weird since you'd expect the legendary set to give the coo visual effect
first 100 ting
I am not strong enough for Ultimate and I don't want to go to Elite. I'm in act 2 in Ultimate level 53 and everything just shreds me and it takes me 5+ minutes to kill any boss mob. Playing Berserker/Arcanist Birb.
>>744495317Now that just makes the medal look silly, they slapped that thing right on her tit. That's gotta be painful, but maybe she's into that kind of thing.
Idk bros. I want to like it but melee is not very fun and I can feel time pass when playing. I am understanding the "Grim Yawn" dis. Maybe the maps are too big but melee is a non-stop slog of dodging shotguns to the face and LOOONG hero/boss battles.

>>744492080This is not the Warlock. This is Akarat, possessed by Mephisto.
>>744495468>>744495538post grimtools, noobsif it's going like that it means your build sucksGD is a game that will punish you if your build sucks
once you beat the main campaign whats the endgame loop? crucible?
How the fuck do I know which devotions to take holy shit
how do i stop getting raped by the roguelike dungeons?am i only supposed to do them when i'm fully geared and leveled?
>>744495742>Use search bar>Type in main damage type>Work towards those devotions
>>744495681Akarat....the guy who founded the big religion of the humans in Sanctuary?
>>744495681why did they make Akarat look so gay
https://www.grimtools.com/calc/NkB3o96ZHelp me fix my shit brehs
>>744495683>>744495543Ok yeah my resistances aren't capped but even when I run into something that I have at or near capped resistances for they still shred mehttps://www.grimtools.com/calc/2gaeEK7Z
>>744495680None really, but there are a bunch of items that support the class comboThese are very easy to farm for levelinghttps://www.grimtools.com/db/items/15947https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/14464This set is dropped by tempest totemshttps://www.grimtools.com/db/itemsets/182There's also blazeseer set, but while it does complement the build I might drop it for the gryphon medal just for the fire dog look.
>>744495690It used to be. Then it became SR. Now it's>running around ascendant mode doing totems/chests/nemesis/dread, you can farm different areas for various purposes>same thing in roguelike dungeons>use mats to reroll your gear and shit>SR or crucible if you need iron $$$, or a lot of legendaries>>744495765Generally they are not worth it while leveling, unless you need a drop (MI). If your build is good you should be able to do them but if you can't that's OK, you can make it better later maybe.
>>744495742You want to work towards big constellations that give you core bonuses or skills. Don't mindlessly take a bunch all spread out that lead nowhere. Usually it's best to focus on offensive devotions
>>744495681i just meant like in general
>>744495862You need maxed Bonechilling Cry for -cold res and maxed Maiven for damage absorbRemove points from untamed rage and Overload temporarily for thoseFor item you need for farm frost roc (asterkarn highlands) for the shoulder https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/14707 and medal https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/15898Farm spiders in the Warden's Cellar for rings https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/14550For constellation your should prioritize Rhowan's Crown and Murmur for -cold res over Amatok (you can't crit reliably yet)This should easily steam roll Ultimate
>>744495862Your armor is the major problem. Nearly all attacks in GD also do physical damage, and they will destroy you if you have bad armor. You need a certain threshhold of armor to not get raped by most attacks, 1800+ at max level, whatever you can get at lower levels. You also need 95%+ armor absorption. You can get it using components. You can put an antivenom salve on your belt too. Giving +armor to a belt applies it to every slot for whatever reasons. Some points in amatok's pact will also help. It's a very efficient passive even if you don't need the flat damage.So basically>get 100% armor absorption (or close)>get some more armorAnon's suggestions are also good but the armor problem is essential, especially absorption.
>>744495849You need to farm wendigos (yellow named or heroes/bosses) for these https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/7775If you have the the Barrowholm quest (even if you completed it) quest to hunt the 3 wendigos then it's easier: https://www.grimtools.com/monsterdb/369/spawns (look at spawn location)Get Rhowan's Crown constellation above anything else for -elemental resist.Now that could get you farming in ultimate, the issue is that Nightblade is weakish if you stick to Panetti, since it's an elemental/aether skill with limited cold-only support and Nightblade is a cold class. The typical Spellbreaker route is more likely Trozan's Skyshard. If you are interested then reply.
>>744495849See>>744496196You need armor absorption and some more armor.
>>744496196>>744496231Basically slap on two of these and you will be way tankier.
>>744495958>Usually it's best to focus on offensive devotionsme when I lie on the internet be like: ^constellations are one of the easier places to get physical resistance, and has a handful of great defensive options to get to build out towards your T3s (ghoul, behemoth, chariot top tier, or turtle or dryad)
just get Behemoth, the best devotion
>>744495680I am thinking about doing a Vire's Might + Onslaught big bleed build with the Kurn reputation spear, but the rest of the itemization is very limited :(
>>744496206Alright, I do wanna learn more about that one
>>744497471You can get easy trozan items early gamehttps://www.grimtools.com/db/items/2178This is in a dynamite gated area north west of Flooded Passage (act 1), guaranteed drop from the bossThis however is a random drophttps://www.grimtools.com/db/items/1942But you can farm it by visiting the ghost cave east of the Arkovian foothills rift and kill the boss there a few timesIf you have been to Kurn then visit the black citadel rift and check the shop there for this helm https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/15425Might take a few reloads to get itRemove other active skill (Panetti/Devastation). Max Night's Chill on Nightblade. Kite people with Trozan and heal periodically with Pneumatic Burst (Nightblade)Constellation should try to get Rhowan's Crown and Murmur ASAP; then aim for Leviathan. Once you are high level enough, get Amatok constellation and put the celestial power on Blade Spirit (1 point/Nightblade tree). The proc it reliably.
Hello, I love demolitionists (bomb-type skills only).

what's the most "gotta go fast" build in this game
What is the difference between ascendant and ultimate, difficulty-wise and reward-wise?
>>744493718Incase newest works.
Wtf why didn't anyone tell me that faction augments and armor upgrades stack?!!What other tricks are there?
>>744498392>Berserker + inquisitor with gun(s) will run insanely fast, plus you can add the potion, 200%+ is possible>Low-cd vire's might builds (skaters), you can have near zero cd>Shadow strike and blitz especially with charges and cooldown refresh>Leap builds, I haven't tried them but I'm sure it will go very fast
>>744495317>>744495427>globes

>steam reviews are brutalIs this DLC this bad ?
>>744499238cranked
>>744499290There were several issues with difficulties and they toned down most of them in the previous patches.If you really played the previous expansions it's probably nothing new though, shit is always hardest day 1 and is toned down after because nobody likes to see "monsters are buffed" in patch note, only "monsters are nerfed".
>>744499296>according to my calculashuns, I can lure the Dread to thethse coordinatesh and looshe aggro, giving him the thslip and then complete my main objective to garner influenshe with my main bird man, Noktuk-ACKMy line of thought moments before dying.
>>744499424I'll wait until they fix this DLC then.
>>744499290>"Steam reviews are brutal!">76% positive
>>744499564It's already fixed in the latest hotfixes tbqh.
>>744499575>the OG is 90%+
I swear the scariest thing in the game is not any boss or elite but a basic pack of ranged mobs who'll instantly erase you when they see you
>>744499641If you have this issue it's typically because you have low pierce resist and armor.It is also an issue in very high Shattered Realm or Ascendant thoughbeit but throughout most of the game you are supposed to take 0 from them.
>>744499641>Go into Arkovian undercity>Fwip fwip fwip fwip>Health stolen
why the NIGGER FUCK? does the game launch on the wrong fucking monitor?
>>744499424>because nobody likes to see "monsters are buffed" in patch note, only "monsters are nerfed".That's because what Crate and every other dev in this whole subgenre forgets is that the original monsters were already balanced in the past at a difficulty level they thought was acceptable. All changes made since then, even if they made the game easier overall, were balanced against those monsters. So when you suddenly crank all the enemies by 25%, instead of returning to baseline difficulty, shit just breaks instead.In this case it's extra stupid though because Crate did a top to bottom rebalance of every single mob in the game after Forgotten Gods to make sure literally every enemy was at a power level that they wanted, then suddenly Asterkarn comes out and it's all "buffed mobs to counteract power creep"
Are Zerker Battle Surge and Amatok Pact bad to pot points into?
This expansion is kino. The new endgame shit is much fun and the new items/mechanics are fantastic. The secret treasure hunt is also amazing.
>>744499825>Amatok PactIts a good skill
>>744499721My real issue is that there's no fucking need to counteract power creep in the early to mid game because most players aren't actually knowledgeable veterans running levelling builds. Even most veteran players still level by fucking around with suboptimal stuff and don't bother regearing at every range.
>>744499825Battle surge idk, depends on your build, it has considerable diminishing returns though so just a few points might be good. Pact is really good, if you can make use of the flat damage it's a no brainer, even then 20 DA and 20 armor per point is quite good.
>>744499867They phrased it like that but it isn't to counteract powercreep, it's because Ascendant is a real end game and they needed act 1 mobs to be competitive. The changes leak into Normal too, which was the issue.
>>744499928Based, FUCK noobs. Ascendant is amazing. They will probably nerf normal mode eventually I guess, maybe even tomorrow.
deaths vigil is gay love killing these niggas
What's in your "cool stuff" tab?
>>744500031how do I get the anus face

I'm yawning, bros.It's too late for me to keep gaminng so I'm gonna sleep.
>>744500292Sleep well Grim Yawner, there's another glorious dawn tomorrow
Should I go to the DLC after the stupid tentacle boss in the main game or up the difficulty
If I have merits and shit should I just skip normal and play on ult or is not having resistances gonna fuck my ass so I should do veteran playthrough then ult?
>>744500569DLC is fine, it will stop you before you get into the real difficult areas anyway.>>744500583Starting lvl 1 on ultimate is ill advised, use the speed leveling guide.
>>744500609Yeah i mean my character is lvl 30 already from crucible which is why Im asking but my gear is shit
>>744500702You want to be looking for monster infrequents of your build.
>>744500031Mostly keepsakes from earlier leveling as my current character. What's that green thing next to the sword above the belt in the center? I remember accidentally stashing something that looked like that into ItemAssistant and I don't remember what it's called so I can't find it to get it back out.
What is a good distribution of physique to your main damage stat while leveling? 2 phys for every spirit/cunning?
>>744501297A random item I liked
>>744501461Oh, ok. Good, I thought it was a unique crafting component or unmarked quest item. Thanks.
Man, fuck Ugdenbog. Let the aethers have it.
So hold on, how do augments work? Do they erase the components?
>>744502408Nope, both can be applied together. It just makes it soulbound (you can remove the augments which makes the item not soulbound, meaning it can be transferred between characters)
daily reminder for new frens to USE THE FUCKING RAINBOW MODAlso for new frens, get revered with all factions before you start making new characters. It's a bit of a grind for some factions but you only have to do it once. Mandates can be used on other characters for quick rep gain and faction augments are the best way to fill in res gaps and power up your weapons/rings/amulets, the best of which you need to be revered for
Berserker + Arcanist?
>>744502493yes, that is a combo that you can play
>>744502431Fuck you mean I've been missing outAAAAAAAAa
>>744499238Fucking lol'd at the gate

>Chance to Hit Enemy: ~80%>Chance to Crit Enemy : 0%>Chance to be hit by Enemy: ~90%>Chance to be crit by enemy: ~10%Holy shit I am not prepared for Ascension. Feels bad man.
>>744502630Every item basically has an invisible slot for components and a second invisible slot for augments. It's like, the component is the gem you slot into a socket, and the augment is the magical material you polish the equipment with.
Are there any pet builds that fall off in the end game? I try not to follow guides to much, but hate getting to late game and finding out I picked an under tuned build
Recommend me a class combo for 2H melee funtimesNOW
>>744503005stop being poor. Money is very easy to farm and even easier now with the new potion shitstop being a poor person
>>744503197>Money is very easy to farm and even easier now with the new potion shitTeach me your ways then
>>744503232You can farm money by showing Magic items in loot filter then go into an area with a lot of casters (Blood Groves/Village of Darkvale/Tomb of Eldritch Sun) and just pick up the dozens of items per mob drop.
>>744499238SWIGGITY SWOOTY
looking at so many FGC contents and realizing all the thuggery stopped being a thing like 5 years ago
>>744503503makes you think
you can kick my ass, you can stomp on my balls, you can fuck my mouth, you can spit on me, you can pee in my butt, you can steal my lunch, so who's the real winner here - warden krieg
>>744503446Sudoku button WHEN Crate, so I can deny the Dread his desired assets.
Best place to farm these? My first guess is Crown Hill and just blast possessed mages until I get a double rare with lots of aether damage (my specced damage type) but I figured a second opinion would be worthwhile.
sorry, mom, but your son's just a disgusting masochistic little piglet! - warden krieg
>>744504253I'd say the same
>>744499238Can anything even survive that nigga's attacks? I don't even have issues with taking damage on ascendant mode anymore but if I sleep on one of his glowing slaps I'm just instantly dead no matter what.
>>744503183I vaguely remember occultist+shaman being better than necromancer+x. But really, don't let it bother you, if shit is so bad that you can't stand it at all you can always just do a full respec with GDStash.
>>744504253Can't you just do the malmouth faction main quests and unlock NPCs that sell these
>>744503005It's like 168k iron to give 200% rep gain with literally every faction. Like 60k for the base game factions. Your new toon can pay probably for the mandates themselves by the end of act 1 (when you get access to Forgotten Gods to transfer the iron).Whatever toon you have the rep with can also probably farm out the gold in like under an hour if you just pick up everything and sell it.
>>744502493Mirror is REALLY fucking nice on berserker but I haven't looked into end game builds.
>>744491993>I know the general ideaYou clearly don'tThe only good DoT skills early game are the one with cooldown because they have much bigger number, which are you using? Apostate I assume you're using either storm box. word of pain or drain essence, those can NOT be your main deeps, they suck ass without supporting skills, they mostly are for proccing devotions or debuff. Learn which skill can provide resistance reduction also, they are vital to do damage on any build.Necro + Inquisitor is just really difficult to build in general because most of their skills don't overlap with the elements, not sure you why picked such a weird combo for your first playthrough.
do resistances and damage absorption% affect damage bubbles like turtle shell?
rate my shitty bleed zealot wolfu devotionshttps://www.grimtools.com/calc/ZoXr4OBN

I have become a Doom monster.
Does anyone know where the fuck I can find this thingI must be fucking blind
b-bros?
you have to prod frozen corpses along the outside path. it wasn't even particularly far away from the cavern mouth. and i think it had a star on the minimap I think so yeah you're blind
>>744508280It's pretty high up the mountain close to the end of the campaign. It should have a star market on the map once you are close.
>>744508448Yeah I found it like one minute after I read your post. I just assumed it's further down since the quest text says something about Aurora Peaks which would be in the same zone as the quest giver. Thanks.
Man is Aurora just going to be core on every ascendant build
i'm trying to decide on what pet build to go for and cabalist seems to be the one that just fills your screen with pets but conjurer seems safer for elite and ultimate, what are the main differences?
>rep grinding Hranaak>fucker wants me to do BoC back to backfuck you
Just started, any recs for death knight? I have no fucking idea what I'm doing.
>>744508897Used to be an extremely popular starter so you should be able to find a guide pretty easily on the official forums
>>744508662I'm using it. Not sure how good the proc is but the stats are too much.
>>744508943Alright, I'll have a look around. Just worried that what I'll find is outdated.
>>744508795Cabalist is like D2 necro, you kinda have to spam summon skeleton. Conjurer has more permanent pets
>>744508897It doesn't really matter what the fuck you do, you can respec shit later on if you think what you did was wrong. Just pick a damage type and stick with it.
>>744508897I just rolled a death knight, planning to focus on vitality damage. Apparently it SUCKS if you don't have a very precise itemization
>found Jarldin and Gloom Knight recipeAs love as I'd like to have another jank character playing melee is just a taboo right now

If you revealed the entire map before, you will be able to spot a totem spawning around the area.Other easy totems: Twin Falls (walk toward the dungeon), Arkovian Foothills (walk east-south east)You can use grimtools to find monster totem groups
>>744509460shattered realms is how I did it
>went through the entire campaign without realizing blizzard weather being active does damage because my passive regen is so high I couldn't even notice my hp bar going down
>>744494212>>744494235You actually can repair the bridge from the other side, it was added after the FG expac.
My character takes huge black shits everywhere.
>>744510375He's just like me...
Morgoneth was right, we should just stare into the abyss and becoming one with nothing
when will this game be finished so i can start playing?
can anyone tell me how to get the anus face helmet
is a elemental only dual ranged mage hunter (inq/arc) possible ? both their exclusives look shit
>>744510859If you want dual gun then it's going to be a shit show from start to finish due to limited supporting itemsmage hunter is typically either Aether Ray or Panetti build, both have good leveling and end game items
>>744510941ok then lets change it, what about physical cadence/inquis dual pistols
>>744511065There are good supports but specifically PHYSICAL pistol builds tend to be Soldier/Necro or Oathkeeper/Necrohttps://www.grimtools.com/db/items/12611This pistol drops from the sandviper early in Forgotten Gods and enable leveling with physical focused pistollers.The reason for necro is because it can reduce enemy physical resist and it can buff itself with Soul harvest, a lot of the damage will be converted to physical via wielding 2 pistols.(You can dual wield pistol as non-inquisitor by forging a Gunslinger Talisman relic)Inquisitor typically goes for elemental (individual element or rainbow) or pierce pistols
>>744493296Grim Dawn is a way more session committing arpg for sure, especially the base game and first dlc. After that they give out way more frequent waypoints but it is still far from zooming map reset spam other arpgs evolve into.
Hmmmm
>>744511315I'd buy that for a dollar
>>744499290ARPGs literally can not review well. Grim Dawn at least is lucky to not have seasonal resets because that gives your game -50% score from all the normalfags crying about their build not working anymore, which you can only mitigate with millions of dollars worth in psyop shilling like poe.
Does berserker offer anything to a sword and board soldier? I've been looking at grimtools and outside of onslaught I'm struggling to see something that synergises.
>>744511559Leap? The survivability passives? The WP skills? Warcries?
>>744511559Onslaught Forcewave should be a no-brainer, desu
>Albretch's Rail Gun
>>744509460Totemshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxTWBE8POtE
>>744511694>Leap?Its good but if you've got a shield then you may as well use blitz and fully synergise with that. >Survivability passivesBattle surge is good for one point but untamed rage feels a bit redundant thought maybe with Menhir's Bulwark it would make you super tanky.>WarcriesOne offers pierce and cold RR which is useless for physical builds. The other can boost crit damage and offensive ability which I admit could be nice.>>744511826Yeah onslaught feels like the best part of the kit.
>>744508897be yourselfi shit you not this saved me from dropping the game after trying it 5-6 times
>>744511559Werewolf is a very good skill for sword and board. The default attack is just better Blade Arc (before considering items) for s&b since it still strikes twice so you lose considerably less damage compared to most build for not using a 2 hander or dual wielding.>Chaos OnslaughtSoldier has good weapon pool and there's Naren Kur's for leveling or even late game: https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/14234 ; Onslaught is just a better Cadence since it stacks multiplicatively with weapon pool skillsLate game support there's a set for Acid weapon pool (Gloom Knight) and one for leap/blitz (Jaldir); intermediary there's stone carver sword for the same concept https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/15455Overall I wouldn't say it's the most synergistic combo but there's some wiggling room.
>>744511694Bloodfang is pretty meh Why the fuck is Leap physical and pierce, I hate it
>>744509621>>744509626>>744511907thanks bros
They added an end game shitting set...
>>744491935shitskin kike
Just started and decided to try the new class. Went with the wereraven. Do you later get modifiers that make the transformations more interesting or is it literally just a different model + 2 attacks?
the GoG version isn't getting updates right?
>>744508280It's not actually on the map called Aurora Peaks. Quest descriptions are all like this in the last 2 expansions.
>>744512365GOG is just slow with updates this is why it sucks compared to Steam
>>744512365Gog actually looks at and checks updates so it can take some days at worst. On steam you can just upload your ai generating bitcoin miners rootkits and it only becomes an issue once a poor customer finds it on their system.
>>744512258>designated
>>744512365correct>>744512530gog cultist retard
so this buffs your attack speed when it procs? But what's the duration?
>>744512798Nvm I'm pretty sure what's happening is that the speed is applied all the time. It's just Crate doing skill bonus in a weird manner again I bet.
Uh oh steamie melty.
>>744512750>cultist retardBut you didn't call him wrong. Curious.
>>744512954I did, I said gog. Gogslop is always wrong
>actually guys, getting updates later when steamchads have already enjoyed them is... le good!
Honestly transformations are kinda mediocre.
>>744513798Yeah it's mostly for a furry rp playthrough OwO
>>744491776bait
>fucking bug arms are better pierce swords than all the legendary shit I have
>>744514016pretty normal, monster infrequents (green base) are basically hyper catered to certain builds
>>744503195Bleed Primalist (Berserker/Shaman)Onslaught + (Leap or Primal Strike)
>>744491895That magic item on an ascended affix means the base isn't crafted/MI
Does the soldier's terrify node reduce all resistances or just elemental ones?
what the fuck is this? what do i pick?
>>744514590all damage-related resistances (not status resist)
>>744514594dumbass
there's no "swap this res for another kind" craft in this game right?
>>744498486This guy is a great artist but it's really too bad he puts dicks on all his hot girls
>>744514617Does that double dip reduce physical resistance with break morale then? How does resistance work, does each enemy have a flat amount or am I reducing their % resistance by 56% total.
>>744499238>
how many shards do i have to do before a single waystone offers another checkpoint in the SR?
>>744514772You should probably google how resist reduction in Grim dawn work, but there are 3 typesFlat reduction, like both Break Morale and Terrify. Only highest bonus apply. If an enemy has 65% resist and you have -25 from break morale, it now has 40%% reduction; this one is rare, it's found on say the Viper constellation, and it works multiplicatively. Say Viper says "20% reduced enemy resistance" and an enemy has 50% resist, it loses 10% down to 40%. Doesn't stack either, highest applyThe third type and most important is debuff resist reduction. It says "-X% fire resistance" for example (note the lack of the "reduced" word). Example: Occultist's Curse of Frailty, Oathkeeper's Summon Guardian of Empyrian modifier. These fully stack with other 3rd types. So an enemy with 90% resist being afflicted with -25% from curse of frailty and -25% from guardian will have 40% resist left.In general you want to find the 3rd type and get one source of the 1st type (2nd type is so rare it hardly matters). Soldier only has 1st type RR here. Necro, Oathkeeper and Occultist have 3rd type. Many constellations have 1st type RR (Manticore, Revenant, Scales, Rhowan). Yes, Soldier kinda sucks in the resist reduction department.
>>744514957You get a checkpoint every 2 shards, so 3.
>>744514985Thanks for the info anon.
what’s best combo with werewolf form?
if big bird offers me a faggy dungeon quest can i just exit the session to 'reroll' it?
>>744513839kek
>>744515479Chaos werewolf with occultist is easy to level up and has some late game supportFire werewolf is weird but is well supported item wise and has target farmable late game set >>744495867Bleed wolf with shaman/nightblade can work>>744515520Yes
>>744515520As long as you don't accept it yeah.>being afraid of a dungeon
>>744515520>I cant do like 6 dungeons which I should be doing anyways to max out my repPussy ass bitch
>>744515554Allright thanks going full chaos
>>744515587>>744515657I'm NOT going to valbury again
>>744515678Just make sure to only level werewolf in zerker then max occultist for solael's witchfire/possessionThis way you don't have early game damage issues
In one of the previous threads someone mentioned that disabling gore would bring back the ragdolling. Thanks for that tip, I missed everyone getting blown ass over teakettle whenever you hit them hard enough.
>>744506731FUCK chimera, ugly as SHITLIVING SHADOWShttps://www.grimtools.com/calc/NYPe4neZ
>>744512334There's modifiers on items that can affect it further, like any other skillPersonally I think it's good they didn't limit you to only using certain skills while shapeshifted, like PoE2 and LE both do. Fucking annoying
>>744511845I dont think thats going to offset not being able to use legendary weapons, damage wise. particularly legendary setsI use this and its a massive damage boost since the skill trees conversion to chaos damage overwrites the conversion to piercing and its just a straight up 25% damage buff
>>744515915Have you checked the char screen? I was under the impression that this is applied at the same level as the chaos transmute, so it's going to cause weird damage split.
>>744515983no, skill conversions always apply first then after that theres no elemental damage for the neck to convert
>>744491935They seem to be 1-4 or 8-10, nothing in between
>>744516042I'm pretty sure the skill modifier is a skill conversion itself, which is why I asked to check the damage on the 2nd tab of char sheet (which is honest at least conversion wise)
are there any (((high quality))) youtube videos that go over the story/lore of grim dawn or is it all guys rambling into their $7 headset while they play the game on hypercam 11 years ago
Does game really became difficult at some point? I've seen people bitching and moaning about dying. Is that elite? Outside of everything with skull being fat as fuck damage taken feels manageable so far.
>>744516315Yeah but it's often the case of going from 90% HP to 0 in an instant, and a lot of people who complain about difficulty ignore their defensive stats
>>744516183no its almost entirely chaos damage, other than the little bit of extra pierce there from the neck and some vitality from some other items. its like 90% chaos, 9% electrocute from disintegration then the last 2% is pierce and vitality from gearnot that any of that shows up in my tooltip but thats what the second tab says
I went berserker and nightblade, mid-range casting with the wereraven seems decent, it applies a lit of negative cold resistance as long as I'm not too far away.But I'm kind of getting bored of the bird honestly. I know every class is mostly spamming one attack, but it just feels extra spammy. Wonder if I should just respec into onslaught or something. Or try the wolf.
>>744516392Why do you have unconverted aether damage on the ray? And a lot of it even.
>>744516516beats me. like I said, the tooltip doesnt show the proper damage types at all. electrocute isnt mentioned at all despite not getting converted. maybe its using aetherreach (for the skill bonuses and cast speed) causing it to wig out
>>744516701Oh you were using the tooltip, it typically shows damage conversion in a very half assed manner.The one I'm talking about is on the inventory screen, top right, 2nd tab. If you hover over the damage number it applies the final conversions.
i've done valburry so many times but this is the first time I've found the door to this basement. can I actually find her daughter in malmouth?
>>744516924I think you just find a lore note (never read it)
>>744512276don't be mad, saar.
>>744516769I already said what was there
>>744516292>are there any shitty video essays that read the wiki so I don't have to play the game
wtf, when did they add this part?
>>744516924no and it ends up sounding like an easter egg for a sequel or something. the baby kinda sounds like the protag, both aetherial and human
>>744516924No, but there is an NPC in the forgotten gods starting area who asks about them

what's the best way to farm death's vigil?
>>744517428There lived a humble family, religious through-and-through.
>>744517381It was to prevent brainless facetanking
>>744517381a lot of melee builds were facetanking superbosses with lifesteal and devs weren't happythe most annoying thing about Sunder is when you play skeleton summons and the boss does some shit that normally you can evade but the skeletons are too slow to walk around so they instantly die
is the grim tools build editor incorrect or can you seriously not wield a melee weapon in your off hand with a dual wield skill if your main hand is a gun?
i got stuck in the fucking boar pen what the fuck
>>744517504brainless facetanking is the peak of ARPGsit certainly isn't rollslop
>>744517625WHERE YE BELONG, YA DAMNED CREATUR
we are so back
>>744517504>brainless facetankingThat is a core part of the gameplay and it requires a lot of effort to achieve. It should never be prevented. Souls cancer has been a disaster for the gaming industry.
>>744517531Ranged fags get away scot-free as usual.

>>744518913yea, do we not get to pick? kek
>>744518861you can't side with kymon as a necro unless you pick them before taking necro as a mastery
>>744518943Yeah, Necros are locked to Death's Vigil, on account of being Necromancers.

Hey anons, I haven't played this since Early Access. Since when the only content was that early dungeon / prison only an hour into the game.What's the best "Paladin" I never die build? I don't want any red or blue or evil looking abilities. Just golden light if I can help it and lots of healing.Is that possible? I've been meaning to pick this game up since I saw it got some kind of Paladin DLC.
>>744520662t. Anasteria
>>744520694Oathkeeper/demolitionist
>>744520694You can play a Paladin in the game, add Oathkeeper and Inquisitor together. You can do ranged builds or Sword and Board builds, with a lot of ways to keep you healthy and hard to kill, but you're kind of stuck to mostly elemental builds and maybe some poison builds.
>>744520694>PaladinNightblade/Occultist comboNightblade always wears a hood, kinda like a monk. It utilizes knives like the one they use to remove foreskin.Occultist is your typical religious nut. He has righteous abilities like Hellhound (he bends the minions of hell to his will using the power of Jesus Christ), splashing people with acid and smiting heathens with Doom bolt.

Oh now it shows a quest star but still you need to just happen to have at least core and 10 meat in your inventory which isn't told to you.This quest design reeks of algo pushing from search queries

>>744523554It's good but there's no lower limit for resist Assuming the -20 comes from Scales it's probably not that good since it's single target and requires you to get hit.

I used a necromancer build to beat the base game long ago and stopped. Can I respec him into a different class altogether to go into the expansions with a brand new experience or do I have to go through 60 hours of the campaign again with a new char if I want that?
>>744526669If the campaign takes you 60 hours you shouldn't be gaming. Maybe you should be at bingo night instead. Hope this helps!
got lucky with the MI gun drop that has sub 1% droprate on my second relog, this one came with +23% att speed but then another one dropped after this dungeon that had +200% lightning dmg which was a better pick for primal strike
Am I crazy or does it sound like audio is clipping when there are a lot of enemies? I don't remember hearing this prior to the expac patch.
any good place to found bloodbound totems? best i found was 8% from the black citadel guy but that's insanely low given you need 32 for a set
>>744526892Ironeye's hideout. 3 bosses close together plus some heroes. Still a pain to farm though.
>>744522534Good way oto get these rare crafting materials is blowing up unwanted epics and legendaries. If only the inreface wasn't so clunky.
>>744526767isn't it better to run primal strike without thunderous strike?
>>744527028That's great and all, but man... am I really supposed to head over to the mines in Arkovia every time I start a new session just to keep myself flush with dynamite?
>>744496027I just realized you told me to farm items from the new expansion when I'm still trying to make my way there in Ultimate...
>>744527212dynamite can be crafted
>>744526669You can't change a class once it is picked and you have put points into it. However, if you've beaten Ultimate, you can buy an item that can be used unlock Ultimate difficulty on new characters so you'll only have to beat the campaign once.
>>744525575Coulda been confused for something else. >>744525638Not that I saw. At any rate, I'm running through all of Malmouth (Crown Hill, Candle District, and SteelCap) with pic related in the ascension altar. So far I'm about halfway through the Candle District after finishing Crown Hill (lighthouse included) and I've only got four Sources, none of them double rares. Also I've only found 10 ashes of awakening and 4 soul echoes, which doesn't really recuperate the loss of the soul fragment for me yet.
>>744527212You can craft dynamite at blacksmiths pasts Fort Ikon. you'll have to farm crystal shards for the craft though
>>744527208Maybe if you're doing an onslaught build
I finally finished leveling a new char to 100 and gearing it with pre-Asterkarn stuff. All my chars were HC so I didn't want to get one of them killed just learning to play again after 6 years.I don't wanna google everything and get spoiled, but about new gear. What are the new craft options? Can you upgrade MI items too? And should I move to ascendant difficulty asap now or can I farm Asterkarn stuff on Ultimate at first?
Does the flat 61 Aether damage on this actually affect Drain Essence at all, or any spell skills in general?
>>744527527only skills with %weapon damage
>>744527379Honestly this whole system feels like it needs some upgrades because it is very stuck on refarming ancient content for basic crafting.
>>744527514There are two ways of upgrading items"Ascending" gives them a minor bonus, like 40 OA, 4% attack speed, 5% something to a skill, shit like that. This can be done to all items."Awakening" turns blue items into purples. The blues that can be upgraded are clearly marked as such. Be aware that you cannot awaken a blue item once it was ascended once for whatever fucking reason.If you feel like ultimate is too easy, sure, why not.
>>744527019>Ironeye's hideout>look it up>need to do the gay faggot "go get these 4 mcguffins shoved in 4 of the deepest corners in the game" quest to open it
>>744527662>. Be aware that you cannot awaken a blue item once it was ascended once for whatever fucking reasonThis sounds retarded
Wait, MIs are rares but can actually just have 2 magic affixes?
>>744527662Thanks. Can you reroll the ascending bonuses or is it just tough luck? And what's this about double-rares? I've dropped a few now too. Guess you can't exactly make a double-rare MI though?
>have to do malmouth and FG's to finish the Fangs main questYeah that makes sense. I have to fight some fodder demigod after defeating the Loghorrean that buckbroke him and fucking Korvaak the Eldritch Sun.
>>744528267You can reroll the ascension affix but that shit gets expensive pretty quickly. It's basically something you do once you have that perfect piece of gear and nothing else to do. You can't make double rares into MIs but MIs can be double rares. With FoA you can reroll affixes and suffixes of any rare item. Again, that shit can become expensive and there is no way to influence the rarity of your fix, but you will never get a low rarity one after a few rolls.
>>744528321Gotta pad people's playtime somehowI was honestly really disappointed with Beronath, holy shit what a boring fucking final boss
Can someone give me a hand with a theory craft I'm working on? trying to figure out how damage conversions work. I intend to use picrel to build a chaos trozan's sky shard warlock. with my amulet converting 100% cold and light damage from trozan's sky shard into chaos, does that mean that if I get the cold and lightning damage boosts from the Trozan's set (70% each) that the damage on the sky shard will subsequently go buffed lightning/cold damage -> buffed chaos damage?
Fangs of Asterkarn feels like a waste of money now that I've sat on it for a good while. It didn't add anything of real value to the experience. It's more of the same but not as good as even the base game content.-Berserker: cool, but doesn't add anything new that wasn't available with the previous masteries. It's not like the Inquisitor, Necromancer or Oathkeeper who all filled in niches that lacked proper representation. -The new zones are really boring to go through. Even on the first run it felt like a slog. I'm not sure what happened, but the new areas completely lack in identity that the new AoM or FG areas had. Things there felt more tightly designed in those areas. Now it's just an uninspired mess full of some of the dullest enemies ever, animals.-Potion crafting: lol lmao. Ironically though this is the most useful feature of the expansion, but hiding the entire upgrade system behind a hidden faction that is nothing but a glorified bounty table shows how fucking out of ideas Crate is. At least it only needs to be done once on one character.-Ascension: a useless system that maybe 0.1% of players will interact with, if even that many. I'm not a top tier hardcore player, but I have put over 2000 hours so I'm not a complete dadgamer either and even I don't see any appeal in this system as it is. The reason being that it's just too slow of a grind to get upgrades that are too minor and random. And if you can consistently farm for the materials to upgrade your items then you are strong enough to beat the new highest difficulty mode anyway. The value proposition just isn't there. Crate fucked up the risk-reward ratio.All-in-all I would've been happier if Crate hadn't reopened Grim Dawn development again. It was in a better spot before the 1.3.0 patch and Fangs. Now the game is in a much more awkward place. If people like it then that's cool. I'm downgrading to an older patch, though. That's the beauty of Grim Dawn being a single player game.
>>744527368Never use the altar myself. theres only a few packs that drop the item I need so do I really want to burn the materials on them hundreds of times?
>>744528595>does that mean that if I get the cold and lightning damage boosts from the Trozan's set (70% each) that the damage on the sky shard will subsequently go buffed lightning/cold damage -> buffed chaos damage?If it's a regular elemental multiplier, then no, if you have 100% increased fire damage and 100% of fire converted to cold, the increased fire damage does nothing
>>744528872so in the case of my pic, boosting cold and lightning damage does nothing and I'd want to purely focus on boosting chaos damage?
>>744528423Does it just reroll the item/affixes entirely or do the base item's affixes matter in any way? So should I farm the MI I want with affixes that are close to what I want, or just reroll any of that MI and pray?
>>744529035That's what I said, yep
>>744529087You can choose to reroll the affix or suffix separately, and as the other guy said once it's a Rare affix it'll never downgrade to magical, but aside from that totally random and pray
>>744529087If you have hundreds of millions of iron around and don't mind farming a shitton of a resource that only really drops from the new end game mode at a reasonable rate, sure, you can pick any MI, otherwise, you might want to have at least one good -fix on it.
>>744529035Yes
>>744529229How do I know which are suffix and affix? Is it the [x] of [y] in the name?
>>744529348Yep
should i switch to ascendant?
>>744529531With the new changes in 1.3.0.4, ascendant is a lot more worthwhile for totems and things as long as you can handle it, yeah
>>744529531If you can farm SR 30 or so - sure
>>744529531i still don't know what is the difference between ascendant mode and just using the altar at kurnhold on ultimate
Where do you get more potion modifiers? I just unlocked the cauldron at the coven, having completely forgotten this was a new thing. What potions are you guys using?
>>744529908Do bounties for the caw caw niggaAlso they're quest rewards
I hate how little Chaos support there is in devotions.
>>744530049you VILL take solael's witchblade and Cthon and you VILL like it
>>744529908The secret birb faction has some potion modifiers as reputation rewards, some FoA bosses also have a decent chance to drop specific modifiers. The strongest modifiers by far are % increased armor (lasts 30 seconds) and the one that disables the normal potion effect but buffs the modifier effect by 50%.
>>744530028>Go clear out the Steps of Torment>Now do it againFuck you, bird
bird pussy
>>744530360I'm sorry, anon, but birds only have one hole and they shit from it
>>744530427we have magic and aetherial science, we can create bird pussy
>>744530219Just quit and reload when he tries to give out stupid quests and that'll change it to something else
Should I finish everything else after unlocking new difficulty? I'm playing on veteran and on my way to Malmouth but everything just dies instantly
>>744527368>%150 total damagewooot the fuck
I was gonna go aether birb since my second class is Arcanist but maybe chaos birb is still on the table even as an arcanist
>>744531143Arcanist is a great support class for birb and still gets bonuses to chaos damage from Fabric of Reality
Why did they give the cool birds such cringe voices? Sounds like some saturday morning cartoon shit.
>>744531336ALL ISRUIN
>>744530049you'd think they'd have added more devotions given how chaos centric the new class is
>>744531079It doesn't feel like it matters. I was running with 300% and was totally fine, the only thing that killed me was Dread and I die from his life leech attack even without the modifier.
>>744531079it looks scarier than it actually is since monsters in ultimate already got +%damage passive bonuses
I just can’t get over the fact that my build can take sunder hits from ravager and callagadra but can’t beat the fucking beaver due to not enough dps
>>744531671post makes no sensethat just means the 150% is buffing an even bigger number :/
>doing cold damage on a new character>going well until I come across some enemy with hard cold resist>realize I have aboslutely nothing to lower resists let alone for coldwut do
>>744532031Nta, but yes, just like it is for you. When you already have +2400% damage another 200% os not that much
>trying to rush through the new expansion so I can farm a mob for a medal>get to a point where you have to basically finish the desert expansion to continueWhat a waste of fucking time that was I'm not doing that other expansion on normal too
>>744532150oh okso its not multiplicative
>>744532118Get the celestial power from the crown constellation
>>744532118what's your class combo? you should be able to get elemental res reduction from somewhere unless you're doing some real memes
>>744532118What are your classes?
>>744532190This shit is so fucking gay, why do we need to go to Ugdenbog and Korvan City to finish the last expansion, that's moronic
>>744532190hol up, if you need to do something in the other expansions what happens if you only have asterkarn?
>>744532310You have to own the others to play Asterkarn.
>>744532203Afaik the only multiplicative stat is TDM and what's more it's multiplicative with itself from different sources.
>>744532228evoker, barb/arcanist. but I realized theres bonechilling cry though its not a huge reduction
>>744531926>my build can take sunder hits from ravager and callagadrathat's you're problem hcfaggot
New yawner, what is sunder?
>>744533285when a boss has that orange effect above their head, you need to dodge the attack or get hit with a nasty debuffdoesn't matter much on normal, but on ultimate it can ruin your day
If I’m new is there a good berserker build for leveling or is this game not like POE and I can just play whatever? I don’t know shit about the game but I assume berserker + soldier would be good? Melee chop chop build?
>>744533837you'll run into walls but respeccing is close to free
>>744533837You can kinda do anything but I would always suggest focusing on dealing one type of damage (like piercing, physical or cold) and choosing a second class that helps increase that damage with buffs/debuffs. This also goes for devotions which are like a second mini skill tree. Most of all you want to prioritize getting all your resists to 80% so you don't get onetapped by everything, stay on top of your armour and USE COMPONENTS!
>>744533837You don't want a single target build. Other than that - everything is viable.
>>744534195>>744534236Does it matter if I go Soldier first then berserker or Berserker first then Soldier? Or is the order irrelevant, and it’s just about what two classes you pick?
>>744534351no difference other than the first ten levels
>>744534423What’s a good berserker skill to build around?
>>744534531haven't played one yet
>>744534531You can use Onslaught as your default attack. This lets you use skills that trigger off of default weapon attacks and they will automatically proc. Onslaught builds up charges and you can cash them in whenever you use a skill with a cooldown, like Leap or Forcewave, for a big damage buff. Unless you want to go werewolf.
