What's the /v/erdict?
Give me a tanky build that uses multiple buttons. Can Purifier be made into a good melee build?
>>744580625Already has as many reviews as forgotten fags.Snowbros won.
kiss tummy
MOre like gay yawn
So these on crit effects (left is on Stormrend, leggo axe), if I interpret them correctly, are applied as buffs that trigger on any attack. This means celestial powers and player scaling pets will proc them too.Essentially you can have effectively near 0s cd Primal Strike or Shadow Strike right?
>>744580947it should yeah
>>744580625Boobs too small.
>>744580826What do you mean when you say "build that uses multiple buttons" exactly?
>>744580826Inquis has no melee synergy. Mortar inquisitors wield a melee weapon but that's it.
>>744580826soldier + inquis/oathkeeper with the octavius set
Melee plays like DDR.I FUCKING HATE IT!How can I face tank?
>>744581208Compared to D4 women, i don't think there's much of a competition. I'll take a red head fit cutie with a flat chest over a vitiligo WNBA icon.
>>744580625>added WADS movement and mouse attackingFucking finally i can make a Purifier/Gunner PC without him running to melee range
>>744581510you need to be in melee for storms spread anyway
>>744581264A build that has a rotation of at least 2 or 3 buttons. I'm not interested in stuff like forcewave warlord anymore where I just left click. I'm not counting movement skills if that helps. >>744581267Well that sucks
>>744581562I guess Retaliation Warder will work then you press 4 buttons + Blitz
Im caught between warlord and witchblade, whats more fun?
Another new area that I found that wasn't previously there.Also Flame Touched is kinda mid, I see no big increase in dmg on my Primal Strike from the +100% lightning damage.
>>744581752Warlord.Can't beat good ole Cadence.
>>744581752Warlord is the more natural choice (physical damage and retaliation overlap), Witchblade relies more on gears to shape your build
>>744581785You need to find a way to convert the physical damage on primal strike to lightning to get more oomphs out of %lightning damage. Forgotten Gods enemies can drop one.
>>744581913The rifle I'm wearing does have 50% dmg to lightning conversion, I guess I'll level the other flame touched skill that gives physical dmg and see.
>>744582074A good roll on a 2hander gives 60%, +15% from your lvl 50 skill, +10% from a lightning component gives 85%. No need to press for a better rifle though.
These stormcharged sparkthrowers are some good shit when firing into crowds
am i missing something or does this set have no way to expend onslaught charges?
>>744581854What are some builds you can do with Witchblade?
>>744580625Grim Yawn. Tried it. Hated it. Booted up Titan Quest. Infinite synergies, boundless creativity, a bright and vibrant world, full action bar of skills by level 10.GD is just shit. It really is. Masteries have no synergies and are incredibly boring and 'builds' boil down to stacking [damage type] to [damage type] and then stacking bonuses to [damage type] with the constellations, which by the way are not only lame as fuck PoE style 'cast on hit' slop but detract from masterites. Half of those skills and passives should be in the damn skill trees.
>>744582437Don't WPS trigger the onslaught charges?
>>744582596no since it says cooldown attacks and WPS don't have a cooldown
The double bonescythe build is funny.
>>744582437It doesn't, it's a non cd onslaught set.Onslaught by itself is a strong attack replacer with numbers similar to Fire Strike/Savagery etc so if you go for pure weapon pool build you don't care as much for the onslaught stackingThat said, late game you can still get a medal augment/relic/component for a cooldown skill with about 300% weapon damage>>744582497By default you can try physical blitz/cadence/forcewave (usually 2hander) and buff the physical damage with Curse of Frailty. Late game there are additional support for>Chaos Cadence, maybe paired with Doom Bolt with shield dropped by dlc piggies>Chaos weapon pool >Acid cadence>Elemental Cadence>Acid retaliationThe first 2 chaos options also have a few items available during leveling
>>744580625Art is on point. Music is good. Balance is fucked.
>>744580625It's the same exact normalfag slop it always was. I don't know how people can play this and not feel like they're being treated like a dumb animal
>>744582437You will still have siphon souls or something, but yeah, there are sets for onslaught as a straight up replacer. Onslaught builders usually have % chance not to consume it.
Where's the roll chart? I died on HC again.
>>744582525>Titan Quest.Is there a good one?
>>744582785It's an Ipad baby's ARPG. You stack your modifiers onto one skill and turn your brain off doing the same boring content over and over. 'A new DLC with a map the size of the base game' sounds less impressible when the base game map was an empty piece of shit and the content is all the same.
>it is an arpgzoomer thinks this is a revelation
>>744583181there's plenty of ARPGs which expect plays to use multiple skills. Titan Quest, Diablo 3, Torchlight 2 etc. It's cope to pretend your skinner box slop is even in the same league. The best skill for a necromancer is a passive which deals damage to all enemies, debuffs them and shreds resistances. You don't even have to apply it.
Titan Quest is the dullest game I've ever played
Bro actually thinks Titan Quest and Torchlight 2 are in the same leagueAnd bro thinks a passive makes or break the game (it is not even leveled in a lot of builds)lmao talking to 2 digit IQs is pretty funny sometimesThe amount of seethe they have for what others take for normalcy is unreal.The funniest thing is that I spent like hundreds of hours on TQ and while I like the game you have to have sub 80IQ to even think the amount of mastery synergies it has is even the same. The synergies are so bad that the "guide writers" just don't even bother with most combos. But that's hardly an issue with the game and more with this sub 80IQ monkey having delusions about it.
>mom walks in>she starts crying >dad says he has no son only a faggot under his roof>have to move out by tonightThanks Crate.
>>744583603shouldn't have been jacking off to it, anon
Speaking of TQ, did modders ever manage to add WASD and better effects for when you kill monsters? The ragdolls always felt like they're missing something compared to other arpgs
>>744582671>>744582817>Onslaught by itself is a strong attack replacerIDK about that it doesn't have any shards and the nodes past onslaught itself are useless I wanna try it since it's the first new set I full completed but it seems like it would abysmal dogshit
Is nexusmods the only place to get mods and tools? I don't want to make an account.
what components would you put on this belt and chest?
>>744583460So dull that everything GD is praised for came from TQ. It just does them 100x worse but normies haven't played TQ so they don't know.>>744583553GD masteries have little to no synergies. I looked up a build guide for Apostate and it was just people saying 'uh yeah this is the worst combo in the game it has no synergy'. That's why every retard picks Shaman, Soldier and Demolitionist. Every TQ combo has synergies.
>>744583603>hey son, you beheading infidels?>sure am, dad!>praise the Ravager!
>>744583783The most important property on an attack replacer is the weapon damage %Onslaught has 170% at lvl 16 making it better than Righteous Fervor and on par with Savagery.In this game, weapon pool abilities (like Ferocity, or Reaping Strike), stack its weapon damage multiplicatively with the attack replacer when they fire. This means Reaping Strike for 200% on lvl 16 Onslaught (170%) deals 340% weapon damage. Many cooldown abilities have this rate but on a 3s cooldown.This is also why attack replacers don't get many skill modifiers. They are already the best scaling stuff in the game.>retard picks worst combo (Apostate) and complains about it having no synergy (it has) while praising TQ which 90% of masteries are completely pointless80 was probably too generous
the grimmest of yawns

>>744583797armor + armor absorption on belt
i'm dumb should i be using the werewolf form as a berserker? does the stacking attack work with it? what about forcewave? or necromancer reaping strike?
>>744580826>Give me a tanky build that uses multiple buttonsThis is Grim Dawn, all you do is left click. There's a reason all the PoE and Diablo rejects flocked to this game.
>>744584327Forgot to mention, case in point, this retard was confused when he saw words "multiple buttons" >>744581264
Putting no portal in the raven hideout is some trolling but not putting a stash in there is hardcore trololololing by the devs.
>>744583797>77% bleeding resistUgdenbog leather on belt, Chains of Oleron on chest.
what's the lore on the war of the gods?
>>744583993>210% at max level >fire strike is 170% damn i could've sworn it was may more might actually be good on a numbers level then but fuck me is not having the fire strike shards and aoe gonna feel like ASS >>744584025there's a billion other sources of it >>744584319anything that's not a default attack replacer (or wps) works (so onslaught and reaping strike doesn't, forcewave works fine)if you're not using those you might as well get werebear/werecrow to take advantage of pic rel
>>744581562>>744584327just go to the forums and search "piano" that's what the community calls those multi button builds
>>744584319It says it doesn't trigger weapon pools, so none of the passive attacks proc off of it. No reaping strike.Werewolf is kinda defined by which item you find or which mastery you have 2nd. It's a very flexible skill but if nothing else you can start chaos werewolf with occultist>>744584418You need maxed rep for a portal to Kurn next to the altar>>744584469Fire Strike is tricky to evaluate because it's very pistol biased; explosive strike and the purifier gun pools cause some small chain reaction so it's intentionally gimped by default.
>>744584561>Fire Strike is tricky to evaluate because it's very pistol biased; explosive strike and the purifier gun pools cause some small chain reaction so it's intentionally gimped by default.that's half the fun of gun builds!i guess i'll gdstash a test char to try out the "feel"
>Grim Yawners struggling to buildcraft something as basic as a builder/spenderJesus christ
>>744584698he's right you know
I throw eyeballs at dudes and they dissolve into slurm. If I want to keep doing that should I go with necro or night blade? Nightblade looks like melee but having two vilroth rings and two poison rat dude clubs looks broken early on.
I finally just finished Fangs on Veteran. I enjoyed the expansion. Tweaking potions with alchemy is a cool mechanic. The maps are pretty cool. The music was alright but a little more cinematic and less horrory than I am used to. Some nice synth sounds in there too. There are some dialog audio problems, but nothing unforgivable. One NPC sounds like it was recorded from a bitstarved Discord voice channel. That bothered me.Overall good DLC. Three big expansions makes the game quite long, especially with there being three or four difficulties, depending on how you count. There's a lot of stuff to get through. I guess that's pretty typical for ARPGs but I wouldn't know. Grim Dawn is the only one I like.
>>744584698Chud status: owned>waaah give us a CM so that I can be placated by corpo speak whenever I complain on the stream forums!
>>744584737>onslaught + any cooldown skillThere you fucking go, you pissant.
>>744584698Nice to read.
sub 70 sounds about right
How do you decide which gear to hold on to?
>meanwhile poo2 players literally rage daily at Johnathan because poo2 uses builder/spender
>>744584698are we witnessing buck breaking live?
>>744584761Oathkeeper is also an option with me personally thinking that path of the three is superior to possession as an exclusive skill for poison builds
>>744584469Yes, there are a billion other sources of it, but you're getting it for free instead of wasting 5 points on ravenous earth which does nothing else.
>>744584761>necro or nightbladeoathkeeper why? look at their resist reductionnightblade's requires you to be in melee range necro's requires you to get hit both of these will get you raped in ascendant difficulty meanwhile oathkeepers' just werks (don't forget to take scion of dreeg passive)
>>744584946I hold on to the gear that I am wearing.
>>744584946Get grim dawn item assistant or GD stash if that's still going.
>>744584946I played Dead Money and realised it's about letting go
>killed the two bosses in Bastion of Chaos>Clear the Fields of Despair isn't completedWhat the fuck does the bird want me to do?
does an elemental soldier/arcanist cadence build do YUGE dmg or not really?
>>744580826Purifier is full crowd control + tank but it lacks damage for the harder bosses
>>744585363"clear [thing] checkbox isn't ticked off until you open the loot chest
>>744585389Battlemage has 0 stacking resist reduction and rainbow damage is like the worst damage type so no not reallyThere are support for the archetype but it's in the form of legendaries.There are some solid looking items for Battlemage in the expansion though, like the piggy shields.
>>744584449perfect. my build finally feels “done”. now I can finally play the game
>>744585389Idk if it's still true but elemental didn't used to have great peak damage as it is split 3 ways
>>744585242What about your other toons and different things you want to try?>>744585310What advantages does that have?>>744585321There is wisdom in this without a doubt. I've got a stash full of shit that I'm tired of sifting through.
>>744584953Builder/spender is only fun when you have to block a few hits and then discharge them as a big "fuck you" nuke.
>>744585528>What advantages does that have?You can stash everything and retrieve later
>>744585054>but you're getting it for free instead of wasting 5 points on ravenous earth which does nothing else.that node does nothing else too the bleed damage will tickle enemies on an aether damage build with no %bleed or bleed res shred
>>744584698gotDAMN
>>744585623if you need damage reduction Ill Omen has better rate and is less likely to missNot having the other node on Onslaught isn't a real issue unless you are floating skill points; it's just shuffling buffs around.
Most fun class to pair with oathkeeper?
>>744585489>>744585520ok what about one that converts elemental damage into physical?
yeah, crate's forum has modding section and utilities section for current updated things.
>>744585742Demolitionist
>>744585449I swear I opened it though. Guess I'll just have to run it again.
>>744584946the usual >does it raises my res by a lot/swap one for another without slowing my kill time too much? use it>does it have similar stat but the def stat is higher/have +x to a skill i'm using? use itdon't think too much about it, trying to fix something early on when drops are ass sour the entire experience
>>744585528>What about your other toons and different things you want to try?Different characters farm their own gear.At most I might get a drop that looks interesting enough to build around, but that will mean 50 to 70 levels of an entirely separate character before I get to use it. Just sell it now and keep it in the back of your mind when it comes time to reroll.
>>744585765Which item are you talking about?Battlemage is more or less choose-the-supporting-item-and-build-around-it class mastery. It has little synergy other than being a tanky piece of shit with Maiven, shield block and Menhir's. Damage will often be an issue.Item support Battlemage >Physical or Aether Blitz (Krieg set)>Physical Sword & board blade arc>Aether 2hander Callidor's Tempest>Trozan or Forcewave piggy shieldYou can also just pretend you are playing mono class soldier with the Arcanist buffs. Probably not exciting, but it works.
>>744584953>>744585548Note that D3 had multiple classes based around builder spender and nobody ever had any issues with it. D3 has the best combat of any ARPG to date, and it will likely never be surpassed. Why? Because it was designed to be where the fun in the game was derived, instead of all these autistic nu-ARPGs where combat is where you test the strength of your spreadsheets and sims
bro is talking to xhimself now
>>744585793what's the point of the lore notes? they give fuck all XPjust talking to the two niggas in devils crossing will get you to level 30 at which point they'll be useless
when they let the dumbest nigga in the room talk
>>744586027well this thing dropped and looked sort of decenthttps://www.grimtools.com/db/items/14529
>>744586332Those lore notes combined with the XP pot will boost you from 1 -> 30+.
>>744586167D3 plays like ass and I never had any fun with it. If I wanted an ARPG with a non-spreadsheet combat, I would play DDDA.
does this imply that only a small percentage of the total playerbase both plays on ultimate and has the latest dlc? because this is like 15 seconds in and was a regular mob fight basically
>>744585597I see. It's cheating at an inventory level. I think that sounds like a good idea at this much time spent in game. Hope it isn't too difficult to get working in Linux.>>744585962I hear what you're saying and I respect it but on the other hand I have ~12 heroes at various levels. Remembering what masteries and builds I was doing is impossible. Rather than farming on demand, I'll archive what I get from other heroes via something like Item Assistant. Feels like that would optimize my game for fun.
>>744586467Yeah, if you have late game supports then it's definitely decent late game. But it's probably better that you find an elemental cadence weapon first.https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/17071https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/13920The crossbow is probably not a hard fine since it's an awakened blue item.You also should probably level up as literally anything else first.Fill rest of the slots with random items with +% elemental damage boost.
>>744586679SHUT IT DOWN
>>744586679Achievement stats are highly diluted because they include everyone that bought the base game. They may have bought it 10 years ago and only played through normal once before moving on, or got it in a bundle and didn't touch it at all.
What are the actual advantages of the two transformations? I get it for a fun factor, but I'm seriously thinking of respeccing out of the bird because I'm playing ultimate and I know the game is going to rape me later. It just seems like there are way better options.
I'm going to do it. I'm going to try Titan Quest.
>>744586679
>>744587053I give you 30 minutes before you realise it's even more boring than GD
>>744587181
>>744586909werewolf is very flexible and works well with sword & board/dual wield/2 hander; so you can just sorta free style. Lots of lifesteal. Extra mobility so you can just sprint through acts. Lots of weird item supports.Wereraven's advantage: ranged and not channeling. Very big advantages on zerker.
>an other cold skill that reduces resists.... to firefuck off. seriously
Good god it feels so good being able to just kill monsters and get loot instead of worrying about trade, farming starts, juicing, scarabs price, DIV/H, investment, inflation, map prices etc etc
>>744586909
>>744586679its including everyone who bought the base game since release and most have never played much of that, let alone three expansions inthough the ultimate achievement for beating forgotten gods is like 4.3% so it must not be selling that much compared to the others
Besides https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/15340Has anyone come across any decent MI's for pet necro zerker? Trying to gear up a bit before making the jump to ultimate.
>>744587359Mate, people who play trade league don't actually like playing ARPGs, you know that right?
>>744587535unless you have full Ice King set it sounds like a horrid ideaBut you can just use the regular pet necro MI like Spectral Crown, Wendigo Gaze medal, Salazar's blade, bloodsworn signet
Does leveling Cadence do anything for the other 2 hits?

>>744587595poe isn't balance for solo play, tho
>>744580625>What's the /v/erdict?It made me remember that grim dawn existed but other than that I don't care.
>>744587595I like playing ARPGs tho and I play trade in PoE because SSF is ass since drop rates are balanced around 100000000 Chinese bots and not you playing on your own.
>>744587682hope I can do without it
>>744580625Finished the expansion and will probably never touch it again, it takes way too long to get a new character going the legit way.Every ARPG should just copy Diablo 3's adventure mode shit, it's the only thing it did absolutely right
>>744587656thats disgusting, dont point that out. I dont want to think about the passage of time
why the fuck are armor augments level 70? even the weapon augments arent that powerful
>>744587814How long does it take you to level new characters to 94?
>>744587771That's because PoE is a bad game
>>744587256>>744587181That's funny. Does Steam calculate against purchases, installs, or executions?
>>744587986not that guy but around 6-8h with speed leveling strat (which isn't hard)
yeah. Chris Wilson loved RMT and forcing people to interact with out-of-game bot farmers. Path of Trading is one reason I have absolutely no hype for whatever he makes next since it'll be another game with dogshit drop rates tailored for Tencent botters.
>>744588035You're basically just admitting the game is bad and not worth playing
>>744581510Where can I enable it?
>>74458814660IQ and still decreasing
>>744588146dont worry I doubt you could do it in 20
>>744588027At some point I think they changed it to not count people who literally never started the game up but most games hover around 50% just for finishing the base game on a default difficulty.
>>744588035Same
Yeah this definitely isn't Ascended Beronath viable.
You only get 1 skill point per level in the 90s?
>>744588292Yes
Decided to copy the meta retaliation build. Once i hit 35 and copied the gear wich was easy to farm i became unkillable. Put on cheatengine and played on 4x speed and did a full run of normal with all dlcs in 23 hours. Put on a good audiobook and played away.Should i go straight into ultimate?
>>744587630Will it be that bad? Maybe I can salvage by respeccing into not pets

what is this guy talking about
>>744588356zerker itself has 0 pet synergy and hybrid builds are pretty badYou can still salvage this by making this a cold build with wereraven or winds of asterkarn and only use necro for the cold resist reduction.There might be a few support late game, at least I've seen an aether onslaught necro/zerker set.>>744588467Same guy's been seething all thread about Grim Dawn all day because he claims that ...............................................

I'm sick of playing Birb but it took me so long just to get to level 62 to reroll would be insanity
>>744588467There's only one reason why you'd speed level a character to max in a few hours, the campaign is shit>>744588510Which they are to anyone that actually enjoy ARPGs

>>744588605birbs pretty easy though if youre not using the dogshit werebirb abilities
>>744588551Yup love Hero Siege for having it.Last 5 hits that struck you colourcoded in what damage and what monster did it. Makes it very easy to learn what to improve and what enemies to be careful around.
>>744588695Why even play it if you're not going to use them?
>>744588773for >>744584469 and the damage buffs later in the tree connected to it.
>>744588695Bird's moves are fine though. At least its been fine for me stacking Frostburn.
>>744588857I think if youre going frostburn over cold they can be pretty good, yeah
>>744588773Because you get to be a big bird.
>>744588928I mean I'd rather see my gear than be a big birb if I'm not gonna use the birb abilities
Double Void Lament, Noice. Shame I'm not occultist multiclassed.
>>744588993I like being a big birb in middle of a snow storm that is triggering more blizzards and rotating ice crystals that kill more things which then stacks 12 onslaughts for a gigantic nuke sky shard
>>744589058Meh, that skill being channeled kills it for me. I actually thought it was going to be a like a cold Righteous Fire when I first read it but then I got it and I hate it.
>Nemesis can spawn in NormalWell, that scared me for a moment. I thought it was only on Elite and above.
>>744588510Well fuck, the cold aura and that item seemed cool. Hopefully I can atleast get rep and the ulti skip item and try somehing else.
>>744588993But you can be a bid bird and summon two other birds.
>Chaos EoR was a bust>Physical EoR doing slightly better>Still feel like ass when doing superbosses or even just Nemesis compared to just playing ranged PSThis sucks. What's a good melee build that doesn't evaporate when you get close to these guys or clicking on a Tempest Totem?

I hate that you have to assign devotion abilities to your other abilities. I don't push enough buttons to assign these things to.
>>744591863Many of them apply to buffs/auras that are always up.
>>744591863You can assign them to abilities granted by items or components attached to items
>>744591757Inquisitor+Shaman
are the only options for berserk onslaught builder into cooldown spender and wolf/raven auto attacker? I thought it would be neat to do a cold or cold to chaos conversion raven caster but I’m not really sure how the mechanics for the raven work
they take a little while before adding in a Skeleton Key dungeon. dunno why, they just do.
>>744591834>>744591840>>744592115Thanks, will look into them.
>>744586167>Note that D3 had multiple classes based around builder spender and nobody ever had any issues with it.I do. Builder spender sucks because it's the ultimate cockblock. Grabbing D2R and going back to the old way was a breath of fresh air. Finally I can pick a powerful or fun ability and just spam it to my heart's content and chug mana potions if I run out. It's pure fun.
>>744591863I just assign them to my adds and my primary and then the others tend to be on the buffs. At most I'd have 3 devotion skills proccing on skills and I think that's too much.
>>744592186>onslaught builder into cooldown spenderyep (or the onslaught no spender set discussed earlier in the thread, treating it as just an AAR)>>744592186>wolf/raven auto attackerNo, you can just use the forms as a buff if you prefer, or use the universal damage type conversions to change other mastery skills easier
>>744591863Your gear should have enough procs to slap shit on that it doesn't matter
Can I go Champion in Titan Quest and still get use out of the wolves if I'm not investing in pet gear?
The same ring debuff can't stack right? Like say I have 2 of the same rings that inflicts -10% Physical resistance, only one instance works right?
>>744592942It should work but don't quote me on thatLike how you can have the same aura twice if its from an item or component
WTF Mr rape.I don't think I am quite ready for this dude.
now that the dust has settled, who won in the end?
>>744592836>putting 10% proc on a 25% procWould've been a great idea if you could assign devotions to procs at all.
>>744593017Most procs from your gear are going off nearly on cooldown because it counts any hit and all DOT ticks, the % chance hardly matters
I should probably start filtering
>>744593142wtf are you doing nigga
>>744592836>>744593017>>744593097you can't put procs on procs tho
>>744593007>lace trim She is cheating
I think my favorite part about the setting is that outside of a handful of enemies pretty much all of them deserve the smackdown we give out
>>744593182yo dawg
>>744593142>Hasn't filtered out RaresBro
>>744593007silk stockings, corset and runny mascara win
>>744593254If he's still leveling its worth scrounging for shit with good resists
>>744592875That's the optimal setup for a summoner build - champion is the only one who can sacrifice pet gear if you have enough -recharge to spam battle standard/refresh. Normally, getting the recharge cap + at least +4 to all skills + good resistances + pet gear is kind of a pain in the ass.You still need lifesteal for pets though, ideally from one of the legendary weapons.
>>744592996Why are you level 92 in Veteran?? Get to ultimate
>>744580625Haven't even started it. Been trying farm my gear before I start. Also a few crashes.
>>744592731take picrel for example though. does that mean that all cold damage cast while in raven form turns into aether? or is it just a specific attack the raven does?
>>744593472all damage
>>744593472Unless some other conversion happens at the same time, yes, it's a conversion "buff"
>>744593472ANY COLD WHILE TRANSFORMEDThey aren't modifiers for cold claw or whatever it's called
>>744593472if it was a specific raven skill it would mention that, so its all damage
So this or PoE2? The class autism interests me. Is there a necromancer class? Is there MP?
>>744593623I mean you're asking in the Grim Dawn thread, so of course we'd say Grim Dawn.>Is there a necromancer class? Is there MP?Yes, yes
>>744593623Play Victor Vran.
>>744593623PoE2 is "off-league" right now, so no sense playing it unless you find SSF enjoyable.
>>744580625I have 33 hours in grim dawn but i dont remember a single second.Not sure if i should play it again with the dlc
sex with all of the coven girls including the old lady matron
>>744593623Would you rather find the item you want or grind currency to trade for the item you want(and might not exist)?
>>744593568>>744593587>>744593605>>744593617awesome, might go down the rabbit hole trying to figure out a arcanist raven to abuse this with devastation or something
>>744593661Despite how shit this board has become I still value some anon's opinions.
These inventory mods are tedious to get working on Linux.
>>744593874Birbs Cold > Chaos skill node is an easy option while leveling too and can make some interesting mastery pairings until you get your legendary
>>744594121are there any good builds for chaos raven floating around? I'm trying to theorycraft myself but it never hurts to check out others for inspiration
>>744592186I'm currently working on a Winds of Asterkarn Runekeeper that has really good damage for not being finished.
Leap gets you stuck so much it's unreal
>>744593007>runny makeup, corset, flaunting her vulgar cleavagevs>nose ring theory dogfuckerIt was never a competition, it's obviously Anasteria
>>744594514>3k DAWhat is generally the "recommended" numbers on these?
>>744594486Dunno, I just throw stuff together myself
is it more light torchlight or more like poe/d2
>>744594730D2
>>744580625My expierence with this game was either have a 1 button build and delete the screen, or just fucking die. It kinda sucked.
>>744594730Spiritual successor to Titan Quest
That wasn't so bad. Just a bit of minor kiting and not standing in the red shit. He even froze from flash freeze.>>744593368A full veteran playthrough and I need to faction grind too before swapping from what I heard.
>>744584802>Whaaa we hate souless corporate speak!>Whaaa we hate when corporate messages try to be relatable!>Whaaa we hate community mangers that just give nonanswers and try to sanitize discussion!>Whaaa we hate how rude and unprofessional the devs act!>Whaaa we hate a total lack of transparency with no updates or feedback!It's amazing that anyone bothers to do anything at all. I now understand how only psychopaths become monarchs and politicians. There is no way a semi-decent person who honestly just wants to help can get through just one minute of feedback from the population and not just want to either quit or kill themselves.
>>744594885>I need to faction grind too before swapping from what I heardThat's only before swapping to a new character, your reputation follows you into higher difficulties (unless you plan to take the other Homestead, in which case it will 0 out your old one since they're enemies)
Should I convert all my shit to Lightning with this set or stay Cold?Not really great weapon choices either way but I think turning everything including the little raven's attacks to Cold takes up less item slots unless I'm missing something.
>>744594696I don't know about ascendant difficulty, but in my experience on ultimate 2600 DA stops you from getting critted by most things and 3000 basically gives you another layer of evade defense. It's kinda the same with OA where 2600 lets you hit most things and 3000 is about the baseline for crits on all things and is what you should aim for if crits are a component of your build. These values probably need to be a little higher on ascendant for the same effect.
with two of these and a bunch of cooldown reduction, couldnt you have a crazy uptime on mirror?
>>744595151forgot pic
How should I level my necro?
with how long the campaign + expansions are now you can ride Normal for a long-ass time. i would've switched over to Elite...i think i used to switch straight to Ultimate but things seem to hit harder nowadays.
>>744595270I think going straight to Elite at least is still worth the trouble.
>>744594885You might need to get faction rep for augments if you can't quite get your resistances up to par for Ultimate, but you are 30 levels past that point.>>744595247Skeletons. If you don't want to do pets, then SUCC (Drain Essence). But even if you do SUCC you should do Skeletons for the first few dozen levels then change to the real build, they're just that good at early levelling.
>>744593791you know Ulgrim did
>>744589679how does it stack up against warder?
>>744595270>>744595324They should just delete Elite desu.
>Baited into making an hybrid build awardWhy can I not just make these niggas scale with player buffs like the raven gets? I'm doing less damage than my shitty Chaos werewolf that used 2 MI swords and literal random greens for resists.
>>744595705It's already completely skippable after getting to Ultimate once.
>>744595831It's completely skippable regardless now, beating normal unlocks elite and ultimate
>>744595830At least that looks really cool.
How do I mod the game, specifically Ascendant numbers? I don't believe the small increase of loot quality is worth the monster health/damage increases.
*farts*That's what you get for being an a*therial or cha*s scum.
>>744595830I mean yeah, if you dont have pet bonuses then taking pets that dont scale off player stats is pretty dumb so why even bother?
>>744594982Ahh I see. Do I keep my quests progress?
>>744595903That's a great change for new players, or returning players who lost their old saves.
>>744595381Is bone harvest any good for levelling?
>>744596017Hell no
>>744596140That sucks.
>>744595830The hellhounds explode on death so its not all badI'm pretty sure that set wants you to use dog missiles instead of keeping them alive
When i played grim dawn back in 2016 i made a demolitionist/occultist buildDid i fuck up?
>>744596371That's a pretty straightforward build even now.
>>744596017Nah but once you hit the first FG starting town you can buy a Savior's Merit that will allow you to skip Normal (or Normal and Elite) and while it won't give you quest progress, you will get all available rift portals for those lower difficulties.
>>744596371Yes. But not for the reasons you think. Now you'll never know.
>>744596371No, it's a tanky build, meaning it's viable.
>>744596401>>744596572I only used a demolitionist bomb and mostly the poison orb. Beat the campaign with no issues>>744596464Tfw
>>744596371No, infact they added a new legendary specifically for that combo
>>744596371Did you have fun?>YesGood build>NoYou fucked upSimple ass
>>744595830I have seen so many people get baited by Ice King. I'm not even convinced it's bad or anything but man, it's the type of build that requires autistic super optimization to get rolling and like 8 buttons of pianoing to play.
>>744596715based af
>>744595830why do they even keep making these meme hybrid sets when they're total ass and player pets already do the pet + player thing but better
https://www.grimtools.com/calc/2jB0xOr2thoughts on this as a chaos wereraven? new to theory crafting so idk how much of this is redundant. will do devotions and components/augments after I get the skeleton of the build squared.
>>744597012>Mostly EpicsKinda aiming low no? Or are you trying to make something from what you have?
>>744597012You can't use onslaught while transformed.
>>744597012Those weapons don't fit raven at all because Avalanche doesn't work in wereform, and you shouldn't be doubling up on them even if it did because converting Avalanche twice is pointless
>>744597345>You can't use onslaught while transformed.>>744597359>Avalanche doesn't work in wereform, and you shouldn't be doubling up on them even if it did because converting Avalanche twice is pointlessI'm glad I asked, thanks for the info anons
>>744597278was kinda just looking for grimtool results that fit what I wanted and those popped up at highest level per match
>>744596818ice king is ok if you ignore the pet part and play reaver
>relic tailored toward cold nightblade with pet that scales with player bonusesmight be cool, zipping around as a NB stabbing and freezing niggas while my wolf eats peoplewish it were something different though
>>744584698Holy
Which one of you is this?
>was gonna farm Ugdenbog Sparkthrowers>this drops while still going through the area like normalYes please
>>744597786Nemesis is goated, yes, you can even bind devotions to it.
>>744598008Sparkthrowers are kinda powercrept now since Mythical Raja'Jax is now a thing. I also don't understand what's the point of changing the Primal Strike mod from percentile to flat.
YUGOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDROP THE LAST PIECES I NEED AND MY LIFE IS YOURS
>>744582525Meh, I find grim dawn to be the better game despite me liking the theme more in titan quest.
>>744598282>changing the Primal Strike mod from percentile to flat?
>>744598282Yeah, but my level 51 Vindicator has very little use for a level 94 weapon.Also I think the booming gun sound is better than the pew pew of a crossbow.
>>744598445The most recent patch changed it for -100% cooldown to -3.1 seconds or something. Not sure what's that about.
KILL THE NONBELIEVER
>>744598521There's items for some skills that add damage but also increase the cooldown of certain moves now. I assume there's one for Primal Strike somewhere.
>>744598597No, I mean the Shaman's mod itself has been changed.>Thunderous Strike: now reduces skill cooldowns by a flat amount instead of a %.
Anasteria called me a m-marvel...
>>744598685Because there might be items increasing the cooldown obviously. Otherwise you could imagine something like +7 sec cd, +700% damage, -100% cd, and the percentage is calculated last.
>>744598781The Taken will return in...Grim Dawn 2
>>744598880I thought about that but is there anything that actually increases CDs? I haven't noticed desu and anything with PS reduces it.
>>744580625Thinking playing this with either a cold wereraven since I like some of the arcanist shit, or some kind of oathsworn build, not really sure yet. Preferably id like something that is a pretty easy run to late game stuff for my first character so I can get my feet wet.
Raising Noktukari rep is so ass.
For a 0.5% average droprate, the gun is definitely worth it.
>>744599186>Faction only hates 1 specific enemy group that spawns in like 3 areasI swear they balanced Kurn rep around having a mandate cause there's hardly enough Bloodsworn to go kill when they're half mixed with regular Cthon dudes in every area, and those don't count
It took a reroll to kill this fucker and I kid you not despite having lower resistances and hp I could facetank him without issues but on my first character he just bursted me down even with better defensive passives/devotions.See you on Ultimate next, fucker.
>>744600075They nerfed a bunch of early game bosses in the hotfixes because they were overtuned. Port Valbury was probably included in that on the normal version since you can wander into the conflagration by accident before opening Homestead. You probably fought a stronger version on your first character.
>>744599810The new herald enemies count as bloodbound and not as chtonian for some reason so you can farm groups of those for kurn rep
>>744600371Not that guy but Loxmere's still a cunt he's the only thing that can make my Oppressor's HP springboard down to near death in an unavoidable hit like that.
>>744599026There's mutators like BWC that gives it a 75% increase in size, not sure about Primal Strike (but maybe future-proofing for unique drops from the new dungeons?)

>>744601145>80% total damage modDamn. Should've abused it when the reduction was percentile. Probably just turns PS into a pseudo Doombolt now.

What's a good class to pair with oathkeeper to make it feel like a wow paladin, it already has the shield toss and the two dudes that follow you. Ideally something that doesn't change the colour of it's abilities since I like the soft yellow.Maybe just soldier for more physical damage or berserker and use onslaught stacks on the shield toss?
>>744600843both
>>744601995>the two dudes that follow youTwo?Oh, lol, I forgot Guardian of Empyrion got buffed to 2 minion capacity.Nightblade so you can run Blade Spirits.Which also got buffed to 2 at some point.So you can have FOUR dudes.
>>744601995Soldier or Demo for the righteous fire theme
>>744602246>full 5 man partyI like this idea
>>744594651why choose when you can have all 3?
>>744602391Find a way to convert to Piercing (or Pierce to Phys or Fire I guess) and get unknown Soldier even more niggasThat's probably the point where it stops being practical unless you're leaning more into the Nightblade side though
>>744602391Dervish in general is a fun combo and is a great excuse to not go Soldier.Any excuse to not go Soldier is a good excuse. Bastard's so basic.
>Start checking all my factions for augments after hearing that augments stack with components>Find a few I'd like from Devil's Crossing, well some of my later factions were fairly highly rated so this should be no problem>Nothing gives Devil's Crossing rep>Having to grind bounties to get enough rep to even get a writI SHOULD'VE LET KRIEG SODOMIZE YOU
Do player scaling pets double dip on stats from auras, or does it only apply once?
>>744580826I know a build that uses right click and you can also dot. It is paladin fire skater build.Vire's Might is the main skill and you can put dots on bosses too. It is a mostly aura build by end game. You will never want to play another build ever again.
>>744602884>>Nothing gives Devil's Crossing repFarming runs up through Cronley's place for dynamite.
>>744602884Just go give Cronley his daily CBT session. Its gay that Devil's Crossing doesn't get rep from aetherials but whatever.
>>744602884I mean, you could kill Cronley's fucks, but that's horrifically slow. Once you do have the mandate, just doing the normal quests will catapult the reputation to near max on any subsequent character.
>>744602884Either farm Conley hideout or reroll for the bounty that require you to craft a relic: it will always be the same and it give a whopping 400 rep.

>>744604353it's an unfortunate symptom of the kind of game grim dawn is. you will be press pretty much exactly the same buttons at level 40 as you will be at 100, so it can get boring.

Am I just blind? How do you reach the cemetery in East March?
>>744606418You get that island through a cave under the estates in Burrwich
>>744606418What cemetery? Like other anon said, Hallowed Hill is from Burrwitch Estates. Go north from the Village rift past the first bridge then circle to your left and under the bridge toward your right
>>744604427No, takes too long to get a character up to just lose it and playing gigatanky every time to be safe sounds boring.
>>744584698Incredibly faggy response. This is why GGG remains the best developer in the industry.

>>744607201About the same as any other DoT build. You can make some moves into real bleed nukes with Onslaught.
How much should I overcap all my resists if I want to clear all content without juggling multiple gear pieces for niche enemies?
>>744604343Oathkeeper + something else for a retaliation build, probably
>>744607387Previously I've heard +30% for everything except 50% for Aether and don't worry about overcapping Pierce by much.I dunno if that changed with any new enemies added.
>>744607441Occultist. Sentinel is an incredible retaliator.
>>744604343Any build with automatic AOE procs and either pets or Seal of Blades on your weapon(s) to set it off constantly
I forget, wasn't there some special item somewhere for basically beating the game classless?
>>744606723>>744606564>>744606490Thanks, somehow forgot from last time I played.
>>744580625Is this an ARPG I can play blind or do I need a guide in mind, or even just a vague build planned out beforehand?I haven't played Grim Dawn, but way back in the day I did play Titan quest.Also is there any nudity in this game.
>>744607952There's an ingame guide you can consult and by default hints are on
>>744607952Play it blind, if you played these games, many of it will feel familiar. Also, the game has a lot of secret areas that are fun to find on your own.>No not really. Some female armours are definitely risque though.
>>744607460Oh, I thought it was way more for certain bosses, guess I can chill with resists and squeeze out more damage then, thanks
>>744607952All you really need to know is keep your resists up and mostly try to build for one damage type. Go nuts.
>>744607868https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/14288
>>744608071It is higher for a couple of the superbosses, but nothing you'd run into just running around the world. Those numbers are supposedly good enough to not get exploded by whatever random heroes or nemesises getting spawned on you simultaneously.
So what is this tree about?
>>744608184later quest
>>744607952You can definitely clear normal difficulty without a strong build- just be mindful of your class combo so that you get two that work well together. Soldier + anything is straightforward and strong, for example.there's some big titty sphinx statues in Forgotten Gods.
>>744608184Part of a quest where you cure some dude's curse (unless you choose to make his curse worse, then it's not used for anything)
>>744608184part of a branching quest
>>744607952It's very easy to fuck up in Grim Dawn, but its very forgiving to your fuck ups. I recommend starting blind so you can just play around with whatever catches your eye and then referencing guides or builds later. It's not a game where you can easily ruin your character then end up short of resources to patch them up later and get forced into starting a new one.

former poefag here, I am loving this game, it's a nice change of pace and I the monster killing is surprising satisfying. i like that it's first and foremost a singleplayer experience tooi started ashes of malmouth and am in steelcap district, where the FUCK is pic related. don't tell me she's a boss, i've been anticipating her titties for days
What is the optimal Crucible strat? Like which turret aura things do you 'buy' while pushing deep?
>>744593254Aren't they kinda nice with ascension.Some of the rare-only skill modifier ascensions look quite good.
>>744609425She's an NPC in Forgotten Gods
>>744609425She's in the next expansion :^)
>>744609464You'd still almost always prefer monster infrequents for the extra stats
>>744609504>>744609487>literal false advertising
>>744609415Time to totem farm, anon. You'll get it. Eventually.
>>744609425She's actually not in the AoM expansion but in the FG one.She's one of the cult leader and not a boss.Also ACTUAL SPOILER she's actually Bysmiel in disguise
Is this better than diabolo 2?
even after the latest patch I'm getting two tapped by early game bosses on veteran and its killed any willingness I had to play. wish I could refund the xpac desu. idk what changed. are you just supposed to jump away on cooldown now?
>>744609539I wanted to try a reaping strike build and it seems like you can get your chance to proc up to some pretty high figures with ascension + doing other things for reaping strike like +2 targets and some more bits and pieces.If you look for RS skill modifiers on MIs its all a bit shitty and you often end up with damage conversion soup if you try to use the MIs anyway
>>744609425what class are you playing, titfag-kun
>>744580625Temu Diablo
>>744609673you're supposed to be using defensive gear and capping your resistances also dump all your points into physiqueor just play soldier

>>744609568AoM came out a long time before FG. She was probably intended to be just some rando possessed arcanist, but was promoted to actual NPC in FG after everyone liked her design.
>>744595830Hybrid builds are pretty good on soldier. There's a lot of field tactics skll modifiers and soldier in general has a lot of auras and debuffs to scale both player and pet damage.
>>744610669The problem with hybrid pet builds tends to be getting pet resists up so they don't instantly explode, you kinda have to go all in on pet gear+augments to make that work. Might be even worse with the monster changes now.Unless you're using hellhounds in which case it doesn't really matter if they blow up once in a while.
>>744610768Hm, my hybrid build is always skeletons, an ascendant cowl is usually enough to solve half of that problem.
>>744609570Actually it was a 2nd tier buy from the black legion that I never bought.
>>744604427Why does it matter if it's singleplayer? Is everything you do just to show off to people who don't give a fuck? Diablo 2 hardcore offline challenge runs have been a thing for decades and it's one of the best ways to play the game
>>744599778>level 72>still on veteranwhat the FUCK are you doing anon
Is this item bugged? Why do I get the tooltip for two skills not listed on the item?
>>744611203>le zoomzoom speedfagGod forbid someone wants to see all content on a playthrough
>>744611693Items can have skill modifiers separately from the bonus skill points.

>>744580625I hate these games because they make you press buttons and shite, they should be autobattlers.The only game of this type that has ever been fun is Vampire Survivors. The rest are cringe failed action games.
Why grind for one when you can just buy one?
Are totems the fastest way to farm ashes of awakening?
>>744611203I'm level 70 on my reaver, and I haven't even finished the base game yet. The +100% exp pot from the Malmouth Resistance combined with level scaling is a scary combo.
I really like the ice spike normal I get from chilled steel but the stats it gives as component are just so behind in endgame.
>>744611746Oh it modifies the skill itself? Noice.
>>744611831vampire survivors is kinda shit compared to some of its clonespic related is closer to a diablo-like autobattler
>>744609585>spoileri fucking knew it>>744611203isn't it better to do a slow clear and then zoom ultimate?>>744611846damn guess i'm sitting in that shithole for a while
>>744611868Just opening crates felt faster to me, but I don't know any optimized totem routes
>>744611924Yeah I think that's the unique drop from the fight pit boss. A lot of monster infrequent items have skill modifiers like that.
>>744611807>>Could've been getting rep these past few days I've been playingHe doesn't know
>>744611939>Y'ALL SEEING THIS SHIT
did they say when they'll do a full game bundle? I want to buy it
has anybody done "a chilling end" yet? i cant find the dudes body
>>744611898that's why you use the level 75 component that gives you chillspikes which is a beefed up ice spike
>>744612579I doubt the new expansion will be included in a bundle for a while, but there's minor hope the game + previous expansions will be bundled cheap. They fucked up having the game on sale during the summer sale (cheapest it's ever been at that time, two weeks before expansion release) and steam store policy mandates at least 1 month between discount periods.
Putting on my lvl 94 gear finally feels so good.I even have all maxed res for the first time thanks to ubgendog leather crafting.
>>744612754Oh yeah that is a shotgun auto wow. Makes me think if an auto attack chillcaster would work.
>>744613024I'm still on my level 70 gear at 100 because I don't want to go through the struggle of fixing res when I have everything ult capped already...
>>744608958yeah it was intended to be a gag reward. they should've made the medal icon a very tiny jester badge on your chest
>>744613153Oh yeah, I know.I was actually saying thanks, sorry for the confusion.
>Awakened Shard of Menhir converts Eye of Reckoning to fully physical>The best weapon for this option is Gutsmasher, which is already the best option for thisThat's pretty gay. Every other weapon is proc based and doesn't even support EoR.Anyway, how's 2H Savagery?
>>744613318Gutsmasher is kino, why the long face anon
>>744613362I just thought this opened up more options. My autism is simply flaring up because it adds flat bleed instead of phys for EoR and was hoping there were better alternatives.
i legit cant think of what i want to runsomeone post that roll picture
What's the bew best EoR build atm?
>get one-shot 3 times by the boss before the final boss of the dlc with max chaos resistance on normal>barely get any damage from the final boss and kill it with easeok?
>>744612646He's waaaaaay the fuck up the mountain, basically at the peak. There's like 5 rift gates between where you pick up the quest and where you find the guy.
>>744580625Why you removed the wolf that looks like wearing mascara when the thumbnail is shrunk? it was the hottest thing in the picture.
Is Elemental Storm from constellation good for the 2 seconds reduced elemental res on target?
>>744613764me
>>744613795Kymon, I'm guessing?
>>744613795Logorhean? Iirc, the previous boss can shotgun you why the big kraken is more of a "shit on the floor, please move" fight
>>744613764Hard to say. It saw a ton of buffs but the skill is basically undeveloped to begin with since it was bad before and they raised the whole playing field on it. Probably Korvan Dunefiend but maaaaybe Chaos Sentinel since Mythical Wrath of Tenebris is possibly broken enough to carry the whole build on its own.
>play with mouse>hand gets tired from clicking>play with controller>feels nice but have to constantly use keyboard to search items>play wasd>best of both worldstake the WASD pill
>>744613887Can't be, Kymon is piss easy while Korvaak is actually threatening.
>>744613947i played a turd called hero siege oncebeyond shit game but it taught me that wasd for arpgs is indeed superior
>>744609732>DiabloDiablo is exclusively for nostalgiafags/blizzard fanboys, and normies. Everyone else is playing PoE or Grim Dawn, for a good reason.
>>744613916>but maaaaybe Chaos Sentinel since Mythical Wrath of Tenebris is possibly broken enough to carry the whole build on its own.I already tried this, doesn't feel that good to play. I can see the vision where you build up Onslaught stacks with EoR and drop Doom Bolts now and again, but needing to stop spinning from time to time feels eh. On one hand, I was playing with like 2 suboptimal pieces of gear whilst running Rah'Zin. On the other, dropping 1m Doom Bolts was pretty neat.
>>744613514
>>744613887>>744613901im talking about FoA, Prodromus just killed me instantly 3 times but Beronath died in one go
>>744613795Maxed resistances, 15500 health, also on normal. I can more-or-less facetank the boss before the final boss, but I've been oneshot by Beronath's stupid fucking lightning spam bullshit in phase two at least three times. I don't understand this game anymore. I mean I never understood this game really, but this is getting silly.
>>744614139>>744614152Very funny posts to read side by side.
>>744614083you're replying to bait but Diablo 2 will always be the golden standard. Every ARPG that comes out will be compared to it, always. It's so good and stood the test of time so much it got a new fucking expansion in the current year. A game from the year 2000 received brand new content.
>>744613948Kymon's shotgun can fuck you up if you aren't paying attention. Korvaak is an easy fight.
>>744614095>3 numbersthis is kind of a shit image considering you can just sort of guesstimate what you're going to get
>>744614086Onslaught's really strong right now so I imagine that there's some set up with Tenebris and Infernal Dreams that has to be solid. Biggest issue with EoR is just finding a way to solve your single target damage since your survivability, clear and movement is all typically good automatically on it but I can see stopping to Doom Bolt sucking.I'd bet on Korvan Dunefiend being the best version since acid sentinels tend to be very good but I'm trying to farm up for a Cyclone Archon right now and hoping the resistance reduction will work single target out.
>>744614281I honestly don't understand the continued hype around Diablo 2. I'm convinced it's carried by nostalgia but I also played it growing up and every time I've returned to it I've thought that it's very much a game that has been thoroughly replaced in a genre that advanced. Grim Dawn is such a clear direct descendant.And I'm certainly not complaining about old games either. Like I still see the appeal of going back to Starcraft or TF2 or an older fighting game. It's just Diablo specifically I can't understand the continued playerbase for. It just feels like everything about the title is done better elsewhere and in so many different ways.
Should I pirate this or Diablo 2 as my new forever game?
>>744614152
https://www.grimtools.com/db/itemsets/87which other class asides from demo (obviously) would go well with this set for a 'mad bomberman' build? Inquisitor seems obvious at first but the fire-> lightning conversion makes me think shaman could be good
>>744614580It got people hooked for decades and it's not letting up. I genuinely don't understand how people can do>1000 TRAVINCAL RUNS, HERE'S WHAT I FOUNDmultiple times, but they do.
>>744614667Clearly a skill issue
>>744614152Like in that webm anon posted you're probably getting fucked by phantom lightning. It's just a bad fight. Just zerg it until you get a good pattern and get it out of the way, I cleared with far far worse survivability than you have.

>>744614667
>>744614813gay and WRONG
>>744614764I spent the day following a build guide to fix my Apostate and finally got him on the second try.
>>744580625For me the vedict is kino, peak, etc.>amazing new items make many cool builds>ascendant mode great, and encourages different farming strategies with different builds>new class is also great>secret quest was super fun and made me laugh
>>744614667what's the name of the mod that shows damage taken? Also you clearly need more armor
>>744614685On a shaman you will need some dual wield item which sounds bad, no idea how common they are.
>>744581489increase numbers
So at this point can you skip replaying on elite/ultimate? Is base>AoM>FG>FoA enough to get you to end game farming territory?
>>744615015both weapons in that set have a granted skill that allows dual-wield
>>744582437horn of gandarr could be good as a consumer for aoe clear, also offers huge DR if you can get +skillsyou are free to find a way to consume the onslaught is the ideamovement skills (augments) could be a decent consumer, they offer big weapon damage
>>744614824All in all, considering the hundreds of thousands of un-dodge-able DPS the Taken can dish out I don't think it's an entirely unreasonable number to expect in return. Still mad though.
>>744615052No. That'll only get you to 60~. You can skip elite pretty easily these days and go straight to ultimate to push for ascendant though. Doing normal and elite should be enough to get you to or close to 100 if you wanted to start on Ascendant though.
>>744614580Grim Dawn v1.1.9.8 was the best and most legitimate successor to Diablo 2. Everything after that has tarnished its legacy. Still a good game, but no longer a true successor. 1.2 onward has been an exercise in fixing what ain't broke. FoA is the capstone on that effort. At least GGG had the common decency to make a separate game when they got the urge to shit up ARPGs by making them into dodgeslop.
>>744615052you're gonna need to play on ultimate to get all the areas opened up for farming with real droprates anywaysI say start on Elite for new characters once you have all your mandates and shit unlocked then move to Ultimate when you feel like you won't instantly die
>>744614976DPYes from Nexus. And armor (as well as a lot of other stats) are looking a lot better now.
>>744614667>incoming damage >bestheh
>>744583783you are clueless thoughit has high WD%, that's all that matters for an attack replacer, other shit is just a little bonusthen you get weapon pool skills (avalanche etc)I'm talking endgame here though, default attacks are notoriously shitty for levelingfor leveling I would try to use those onslaught stacks on a big CD skill with a dot, that will be effective
>>744584698Hello, I love crate, I love Z-god, and I love Arthur!
>>744614685https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/1-2-1-5-th-ranged-beginner-friendly-fire-grenadier-pyromancer-hardcore-ssf/143825A bit outdated but most of it should still be relevant.
>>744591757Zerker+inquis looks amazing imo. There are a couple of nice endgame bows too (upgraded boltspitter and some other shit).
They've already started the process of gutting onslaught set ups. Harbinger Message was likely the strongest build in the game in 1.3.0.0 before they hit it the other day. I'm expecting to see them hit a ton of shit related to it this month.
>>744615467How high can you even charge Onslaught right now? 15 stacks?
>>744593007Honestly the new girl looks like a slightly autistic 31 year old who is the type of women who somehow gets hotter until the age of 45+. There is no realistic way to defeat her.
>>744615124Ooof. I don't know, man. Sure the Taken can do a fuckton of DPS, but show me the taken with a single shot millions-of-damage attack that can just delete a boss with one button press. Instantly teleporting all of the water out of someone's HP pool is fucked up.
>>744615584>Honestly the new girl looks like a slightly autistic 31 year old who is the type of women who somehow gets hotter until the age of 45+that is incredibly specific
Kurn bounties keep giving less and less xp. It's almost dropping under 100.
>>744615052The leveling guide remains good. Doing anything except shrines on normal is kinda pointless because the XP is so low. But blasting the main quests in elite gives tons of XP and rep, and it's fast because you have all the waypoints. So you do some shrines in normal then main quest and a few more shrines in elite. Then just play the game in ultimate (or straight to ascendant if you have good items prepared).
>>744615794>straight to ascendantAnon...
>>744615794>Straight to ascendantYou're not piecing together a coherent build with random drops from leveling.
>>744615843>>744615896Are you gorillas fucking retarded yes? This is a guide for twinked powerleveling of an alt. Therefore I will give the alt endgame gear at lvl 94 and do ascendant.
>>744615951You can't change to ascendant before 100 you mongoloid
>>744615951You'll still get your booty clapped by ascendant unless you've done enough to get most of your devotion points on the way, and rep for augments. Powerleveling is good and all but there's more to a 'finished' build than that.
>>744616049OK so I will do ult briefly if I'm not already 100.>>744616095Yes, the point of the guide is to get that shit on the way.
they really need to increase the drop rate of bloodbound totems this is bullshit
>>744615128>>744615138It's been long enough since I last played that I've been doing it on normal. Just finished AoM at lvl 55. Maybe I'll just go straight to ultimate after I finish normal.
>>744615467Dreadnaught bros... we'll be fine right??
>>744616569Some of you are alright, don't go to Kurnhold tomorrow.
I cawn't do that yet.
Leveling a Dervish since peeps were talking about it earlier and holy fuck I've never tried Eye of Reckoning before.This is amazing.Holy fuck, I need to Ectoplasm all my gear.
