Fangs of Asterkarn
what files do i need to copy to make a full backup?
>use random roller to decide classes>get berserker/arcanistWould wereraven work as a good base here for a cold/frostburn build? Haven't played since the original release, and only did a pet build then.
By the way, what the fuck is these guys' problem? Why are they like that?
>Using EctoplasmJust use Arcane Spark on one of your medals or ammys
>>744618120You walked up to them with no construction permits.
>>744617945Ya
>>744618114>the roller in question
>>744584946i just save everything with a good amount of res and then clear it out every time i've progressed enough to have a higher standard for what a good amount of res is

Does "elemental to [whatever]" conversion only affect specifically tri-element sources (Iskandras etc) or does it convert ALL flat cold/fire/lightning regardless (e.g. flat lightning on primal strike)?

Leveling with Eye of Reckoning is fun.The damage isn't great, but it's a great driver for trigger skills.
How do you not get bored before a build actually becomes a build? Like all the good items require level 94 that takes a long time to do
>>744618965I just totally respec my character's masteries via GDStash.
>>744618965By finding low-level build combos.Arcanist solo comes online at level 5 (and technically before).>OFF>Searing Ember>Literally viable for way longer than you'd expect
>>744617945shitiest grim dawn syndrome classes?I made a purifier but is shit, don't do it it has good crowd control but bosses will just straight kill you
>>744618965I have fun while levelling and drop the character after my build comes online.
if i have 100% lightning damage converted to cold, will converting aether damage to lightning damage then get converted to cold damage?>>744618114it's what i'm playing and it seems to work well enough.
>>744619125Nyo, conversions work all at once.
Eh? Homestead? Why you mad?
>>744619242Wasn't it something about them needing those supplies too?
>>744618139medal and ammy slots are too useful for components. theres literally nothing else worth putting on rings, they're a junk slot
>>744618114thats what Im doing right now. eventually I can like 12 stacks of onslaught with winds
>>744619426While leveling, sure use ectoplasm. But bloodied crystals are extremely good. Also the topaz is good if you need stun resist.
Can somebody explain how to get WASD movement? Or should I say, what should I set the old WASD keys to?
>>744619495>skill on 3You did not beat the game with that cheater button.
>>744619495This skill would drive me nuts with how you can't move with it
Is this game better than diablo 2
>>744619532In the settings you have 3 different modes, Keyboard just sets it to WASD.
>>744619690nah cant beat diablo 2 ............................................ farming kurast chests
>>744619690Like all D2 clones, it's just a sidegrade. Play Dark Souls if you want a better Diablo 2.
>>744619690>>744619743>>744619751Kill yourself and return the blood to the rightful owner.
>>744619495I was just looking at putting that build together https://www.grimtools.com/calc/ZR9RkXvV
>>744619548>3 seconds of immunity every 30 seconds is OPhardly. just for clearing packs I cant kite into my winds>>744619583with enough cast speed it gets to full size pretty quickly so enemies just run into it and die or freeze before they get to you. bosses are a little annoying without any of the stuff Ill have at 94 though but once I get the 7 second health pot Ill be fine
>>744619727?
>>744619916Wack. It automatically assigned it with mine. I guess put WASD manually then. Or what are you trying to do here?
>>744619892https://www.grimtools.com/calc/2MAEaY02 was what I was looking at, roughly. havent really decided 100% on everything yet
>>744620020was also considering using this for the off hand. the extra projectiles on a 9 onslaught sky shard could be more than a 12 onslaught regular sky shard. Ill have to see when I get there
>>744618476nigger lol
>>744620002The default thing fixed it, thanks.
i just beat mogdrogen (the one in asterkarn valley not the one in the mountain) and all i got was some shitty summoner shoulders
>>744620232The real reward was the numbers you increased along the way
>>744620232He also drops one ancient heart though
Got a summoner to 100 and done near about everything. Got a few still on the checklist but thinking about the next thing I want to level to 100.>bleed buildI've got a 60s Trickster (melee dual wield) and occultist thing with Bloody Pox, I may go with the latter>phys rangedMight level my 65 physical rifle pierce character>melee coldI like the idea of a cold nightblade with that Nemesis relic that gives you a pet scaling with your bonuses
>>744618298rollin
>Just now finding out you only get 2 skill points after 50Does the game ever mention this?
beating up Celestials was always just a build test for fun rather than something to really do. you get major street cred for trouncing gods.
>>744620467Bleed Trickster is one of the strongest bleed out there because of this https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/12702the bleed damage stacks across each blade spirit, it's like a big outlier in the game
>>744620573I don't think so but it's not really something that needs to be mentioned. You learn it when you see it and if you somehow planned your build wrong around 3 points per level and never used some calculator on the way, it's trivial to fix.By the way, it's 1 point after 90.
>Oh hey, this is interactible now?>Hargate's Other Isle>Suddenly surrounded by level 99sNever panic noped harder lol
>>744620657>By the way, it's 1 point after 90.
>>744620636>shieldAh yeah I was thinking of Fire or Poison shield-throwing Oathkeeper too. I don't have any shield build atm.>>744620676For future reference, it has an item related to FoA's secret quest and that's it.
>>744620657>I don't think so but it's not really something that needs to be mentioned.Why? I was just dumping points into things I wanted.
>>744620823Because you can just go respec.It only costs Iron.
>>744620823Games don't need to mention every little detail like you're some retarded babby. Play the game and find out, you can respec easily.
Onslaught + Horn of Toots or Onslaught + Primal Strike?
>>744620823Because knowing about it in advance doesn't affect you at all. You can't fuck yourself over due to the lack of knowledge and it doesn't change anything one way or the other.
>>744620930You'll probably have more fun primal striking because it's fucking primal stirke
Oh the upgraded potion bottles carry over for all charactersNot much reason to redo that grind even with a mandate then
>>744620094would be good too but the MI only rolls pet prefixes on drop so youd need to gamble for the right one and already have the affix
these new areas are honestly really cool.
gonna make a cringe phys jarldin thingyhttps://www.grimtools.com/calc/ZR9RkBBVThe 2 classes overlap on bleed damage but the bleed on leap is mediocre so gonna go full cringe physical
>>744621186only reason I know of is you get an awakened crafting thing in kurnhold at honored
B]
>>744621480You could get a weapon with big flat bleed, that will make leap bleed decent with 585% WD.
what even drops celestial essence? I don't even remember where i got the only one i have
>>744618298rolling
>>744621575One thing I've learned about weapon bleed is that 600% bleed is in fact, a very low amount in the bleed world.
>>744621592they only drop from special chests in FG, I think carian docks is a good place to farm them
I'm at the Malmouth expansion and for the love of god tell me if the level design gets any betterThe zones are legit ten times worse than the fucking base game ones which weren't even that good reallyThe sewer town song slaps though
>>744621667Where did you "learn" that? 600% WD bleed with guillotine or farmstead eviscerator is a solid bleed. It may actually be good with onslaught.
>>744621794i love the malmouth levels, does a good job of feeling like a city that has had a war fought through it
>>744621794You either enjoy the bombed-out town or you don't.
>>744621908>>744621939Malmouth itself is fine but the parts leading into it suck ass
>thad more like CHAD>>744621794it does not get better in crown hill lmfao
>>744621794Which ones don't you like? I like everything before the void transition, I find gloomwald is comfy and easy to zoom around. Malmouth is interesting and quite an impressive design but it's annoying to navigate. I would recommend getting a leap type movement augment, it's the best at going around corners and it really helps for moving through those damn staircases.
>>744621831I've been playing bleed with guillotine forever and it's like the definition of mediocre bleed. Also that weapon really needs some buff fucking casting speed for some reasonGood bleed these days is like the blade spirit scarab shield. DoT builds like Dunefiend or Grey Knight forcewave have effectively 1100% weapon damage and practically 0 charging up like onslaught or rng (weapon pool shit)I've built a few DoT and honestly if you aren't doing better than 600% it's just better to do hybrid because you are supposed to sustain off of flat damage anyway
>>744621794Personally I fucking HATE Malmouth's city and the L-shaped stairs but the rest of the expansion's zones were fine for me. Forgotten Gods zones are pretty good all around. Asterkarn is decent for the first half then completely falls off a cliff and goes to shit in the second half.
>>744622025Yeah I agree 600%WD bleed by itself is not enough for a build, but investing into leap with that build doesn't cost you that much and you're combining it with onslaught autoattacks and onslaught stacks, which could add up to something decent.
>>744621794>>744621908Reaper of Souls did the same thing but managed to have coherent map design
>>744622256"managed", yes because the maps are just corridors or blobsmalmouth pushes the envelope, it's annoying but it's also coolI salute it
>>744618114Arcanist is THE best subclass for Wereraven>immediately fixes the energy problems Wereraven otherwise has>berserker wants lots of OA, Arcanist provides in spades>lots of built in cold synergy, loads of items to make elemental or aether builds work too>double dip on damage absorb with untamed rage and SoP>Mirror
>>744622578>berserker wants lots of OA, Arcanist provides in spadesWait really?
i dunno if they just realized how big the earlier maps were and decided to minimize how big the mountain ones were or what. i like snowy mountain but they definitely just turned it in to a hallway with a bizarrely generous amount of portals peppering the climb.also Hoggle is pissing me off, he keeps making me run back to him just to keep giving me the crummy missions so i gotta menu back out and try again
>>744622578https://www.grimtools.com/calc/2jB0lgx2i prefer occultist for the wereraven
>>744622578What's OA?
are there any secret community quests in the dlc that people are working on solving?
>>744622718there is a big questpeople have solved it already thoughyou can try to do it yourself, I think it's doable although hard
Fuck, wasted all day trying to get GD Stash working rather than playing.
>>744622718yeah there's a complicated secret quest about werebeavers. they already done solved it. and the secret boss is slapping people around, probably intended to be Ascendant geared
>>744622709Offensive ability. All inclusive stat governing hits and how well they land.
I don't think the flat damage on leap is applied twice while dual wielding unlike shadow strike ... big sad
>spamming SR with iron bits potionyummy, but the inventor is going to slurp this up like nothing
>>744622709Offensive Ability. Hit chance, crit chance, and crit damage in one
>>744622948It obviously is. Flat dot damage is never applied twice like that, thoughbeit.
>>744622829what are you having problems with?
>>744622829All day on GDstash? lolare you on windows?
>>744623021Flat isn't applied twice on blitz even when you use a shield. Shadow Strike is the big exception of the bunch, because it actually does its damage twice.
>>744623258Interesting. Searching discord indicates flat works on your shield with blitz but I'm gonna test it.
Got to the Blood Grove and I finally feel like my Berserker/Occultist build is decent. The last 20 levels were a struggle except for Smuggler's Pass because the trolls didn't get shit for buffs. Maybe I'll finally have enough mana to make the crow work.
>>744618298Ahem
which shard until the SR starts dropping good shit
>>744623442Flat from auras or constellation will work on the weapon damage portion, but the 300 something physical damage on the skill is applied once.SS is like the only thing that applies its listed flat twice.
>>744623561Oh the listed flat, that's weird, thanks.
https://www.grimtools.com/map/markers/rifts/87152 How far into the dlc is this, can I just run there?
>>744622664Why would you level Bloodfrenzy over Icebound if you're running a Wereraven build? I'm pretty sure the overall DPS increase from the latter is significantly higher if you're running bird, and you get the added resistances to poison, acid, and vitality.
>>744623643 there's a blocking boss in Guardian's Sorrow that was known to kinda one shot pepole often (dunno after patches)
>>744623643like 4 zones in, a little past the town. you should be able to run there
>Hit 94 on Hardcore>No build defining items for my MysticBummer that some gear appears locked to Ascendant
>>744623720ah yeah you do get stuck there with that boss i think
>>744623720>>744623728Thanks, want to try for an MI before heading to ulti
>>7446237372 Gruldir Tainted Cleaver, Ironeye's helmet, Devourer rings are pretty decent for chaos werewolf
>>744621545I love those poems. The one with the pig is the best
>>744623841I have been the bird all this time so I may give it a go as a wolf. Thanks bud
>>744621794Everyone online seems to love Malmouth but I fucking despise it. Navigating it with WASD is a nightmare and the map isn't as helpful as it is elsewhere. I got lost or confused like 5 times. Worst area in the game by far imo
Why is there only like 3 good wife-material women in the entire game? How are you supposed to rebuild society after the Glorious- I mean Grim Dawn if there aren't any good women?
>>744623882If you get lucky with an Elrun set recipe you might be able to turn full time cold wereraven/summon familiar mysticAlso if you don't like being in melee range as wolf then Bloodsworn Repeater dropped by the blood grove cultists (including the boss there) sets you up for a nice Onslaught/Doom Bolt build. Some faction gears will raise doom bolt levels.
>>744623142No, on Linux.>>744623024The database sync doesn't complete, instead freezes and hangs on "Loading Shared Stashes". It stops doing I/O and does nothing else until I kill the process. When I launch it again, I see the stashes and do stuff with the database but I can't interact with the stashes in game in anyway. Additionally, refreshing GDS doesn't actually refresh from my in game stash.I'm done trying but I was looking for logs, anything.
>>744623975>anastasia>allostria>meadfu
>>744624137that's weird, it werks for me on linux, are you using the jar?>java -jar GDStash.jar
>>744620573Yeah, it tells you when you hit 51 and you only get 2 points.
Hail Empyrion
>>744624212Yep. Cloud saves are off in Steam and in game general settings. Directories are pointed where they should be.
>>744624406Bummer. The only thing I can think of is to check file/folder permissions. Good luck.
>>744624524Thanks. That's at least something to try later. I wish the thing was open source.
>>744623882Recommending Malmouth faction gear since you probably raised it to revered anyways
>level 70>not high enough rep with any faction to buy any of the level 70 gear they sellthis system is dogshit
>>744624745The system was made when it was very hard to break lvl 60 in normal/veteran
Do the mushroom circles (besides the one at Pilgrim's) always spawn in the same spots? I finally got my jar of eyeballs and now that I have it I swear all the mushroom circles that were taunting me beforehand have just up and vanished.
If grimtools lists spawn locations 8 for an area, is that 8 possible spawns or 8 actual spawns every map generation, and ifbits every time, is there a way to see where those spawns are?
>>744624917all of them are fixedmany are in base game and other expansions
>>744624958For heroes/bosses they can only spawn in 1 of those. For trash mobs they can spawn in all of them. Grimtools doesn't show the location for trash mob, you just have to kinda comb the area. When farming trash mob it's best not to try any area that has sub 20 spawn locs anyway.
>>744624745When you max out your rep with a faction once, you max it out on all future characters via the Writ. I haven't had to do any quests for the Rovers in years.
>>744625031If you were going to target this https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/15340 I read it as the best place being ruins of utak kunar, is that right?
>>744625340If you can take the 3 bosses in Scarstone depths (dungeon in Bitter Wind Pass) is better; bosses always drop 1 MI (they might own multiple MIs) per kill and the 3 over there are guaranteedI think the 3 bosses in Scarfell are reduced to 1 after you finish the quest
>>744625472Can I get to bitterwind pass just running through the dlc, or do i need to do the others to progress that far?
Is making a Block build (or what passes as one when leveling, I guess) viable without playing Soldier? I want to do Demo/Oathkeeper Fire Retaliation memery, but Solder's Overguard looks too juicy to pass up.
This guy is upset that beaver form isn't a real build. He was sperging out on d*scord about it too. And yes, he's a furry.
>>744625676There will be 2 mandatory bosses, one in Guardian's Sorrow and then in Black Citadel you have to activate 3 blood basins and clear the central dungeon (there's a boss there) but the rest of the areas can be walked throughIf this is your first character I'd say be prepared and cap your chaos res
>>744625894Cheers man, thanks for the help
>>744626078Oh one last thing. I never tried this but, you can probably try going to Scarfell first (it's nearer), talk to Maruda (he's the first wight lord you encounter) and talk into fighting him. Check his loot then quitout.I don't know if the game prevents him from respawning but if it doesn't then you might be able to farm from him like this. Normally I know he's gone if you complete the full quest, just not sure abut doing it partially.
>>744625761I hate these special interest spergs, man. Best off ignored, though.
fuckin bloodbound totems man
>>744626078Oh hey never mind, Maruda has 100% chance to drop the thinghttps://www.grimtools.com/monsterdb/3852/itemsYou just need to get to Unak Kumar -> Scarfell and provoke him
>>744626291How are you farming them? I got a lot running around ascendant popping troves and totems, not sure where they come from exactly
>>744626509You can farm them from blood bound bosseshttps://www.grimtools.com/monsterdb/3631/itemsIf you advanced far enough into kurnhold quest you can retake bloodbound bastion and farm them from the caved in area in to the west of the bastion
>>744626509nta but I personally do blackheart's hideout -> Black citadel boss -> ironeye's hideout since you get 5-6 bosses that way which are the ones that drop those totems
>>744623258I just tested this and you are wrong about blitz, you gorilla monkey. It adds the skill's flat to both hits, same as SS.
>>744626291they always itemize components in kinda funny>meanwhile, have a wheelbarrow of ugdenblooms
>>744627175I guess leap is the big outlier hereI knew there was something about blitz that I forgot, it's probably that it's trash with a 2hander despite all the supports.
>>744626310I actually got it from activating the unak kumar waypoint, crazy lucky I think, but thank you
>>744627339Leap does too, I also tested it. My character has 100k cunning and only acid damage on weapons. All the damage comes from skill flat.
>>744627429Okay so now I have to figure out what to do with Jarldin because it's a 2 hander setGod this is so fucking scuffed
>>744627507Maybe you should start by not confidently spouting incorrect information like you're some kind of expert. Retard. Ciao.
>>744627535Hey man I actually tested things before, I just don't remember them since it's been 7 years since the last expansion
>>744625761Dude I joined their Discord once to ask some build questions and this exact guy jumped in to be of no help at all. Multiple people on their Discord then DMed me to tell me not to engage with him because he had issues. I've never seen this kind of behavior anywhere in a video game community before.
>>744627563You tested leap 7 years ago? Interesting.
won't stop grimmingwon't stop yawning
>>744627639I tested blitz and ss 7 years agoLeap I can't tell easily from the numbers since it has built in bleed
>>744627606yeah he's got issuesI feel bad for posting a screencap now lolstupid furry
I wish I could like make this game have a baby with poe2. Like the game is great, the systems are cool and exploring is fun but man the combat really gets stale even by arpg standards.
KORVAAKGIVE ME THE LAST PIECE OF MY SETAND >>744627782'S LIFE IS YOURS
So testing again leap does add flat to the offhand and there's still a bug it's the char screen display damage, all other skills will halve their char screen when you unequip their offhandAdmittedly I really didn't see the 2nd damage instance before but it does work, just with an unhelpful damage display
>>744627876never trust the character screen
>>744627842in my hypothetical grim dawn remains as is, a new game is just birthed
>>744627908It's pretty trust worthy to check if you have any stray damage conversion, that's like the main benefit of it.
>>744627936OK, it can also tell you your resists, yes you can trust it sometimes, good job you have detected my hyperbole!
The legion must grow.
>>744628090Well thanks my 99 IQ friend (this is also hyperbolic, I have to double your IQ for this conversation, and I have to explain the hyperbole since normally it wouldn't come across easily)
gonna ask here since there's probably an overlap, but how's titan quest 2 so far?
>>744617945i reinstalled this to try the werewolf build and it seems really simple and boring, am i missing something?
>>744628212yeah
>>744628250damngot any build recommendations to make it more interesting?
>>744628282post grimtools
Does the new DLC actually address Hagarond in any way
>>744628316no
>>744628316 no
>>744628316Wait until Grim Dawn 2 in 2030+!
>>744617945Temu Diablo
>>744628414>he gets captured again in gd2>you get to release him or kill him again>no further development
the problem i generally have with diablo likes, is that they are generally not engaging enough to fully hold my attention, but engaging enough that i cant pay attention to any podcast or video i try to listen to while playing
>>744628445That would be lulzy.
>>744628414have they hinted at what gd2 will be like? don't tell me it's gonna be souls-like same as poe2
>>744628512no idea personally. all i know is that they're making their own engine in order to make it (and an RTS in pre-GD Cairn).
>>744628445crate would actually do they, they like a little trolling
>>744628512>>744628565It'l probably be the same but without engine limitations and some gimmick like third person over the shoulder/back camera or something
>>744628721>over the shoulderplease god no
How do I not get buttfucked by obsidian shards on veteran. Just got unexpectedly btfo by the act 2 corrupted tomb guy and I'm not looking forward to act 3.Do I really gotta bring my 40% chaos res to cap on vet...
>>744628721>>744628753>they wouldn't play in first personCasuals.
>>744628778I'm down for first person, maybe even third person, but not over-the-shoulder.
>>744628778First person melee is always weightless suck.
>>744628753>>744628778>>744628823If they did it, it would probably be a toggle, like the camera rotation
gd2 will be the first game to feature 4th person camera
>>744628874Darktide has satisfying melee hits
pretty sure we are supposed to call it "global south" camera now
GD2 will be developed by Kojima
>>744625761>furries finally get a werebird>still not happyHis greed has no limit.
>>744628989True, I completely forgot DT exists for some reason even though I have over 200 hours in it. But still, robust melee is like the 1 thing Fatshark can do correctly. I don't trust other studios to deliver on it.
will the world be fixed in gd2 or is it going to be like fallout where people are lazy and live in shithole shacks
>>744627782I kind of agree with you. But the problem with poe 2 is that it has the most boring melee of all time. Sure, grim dawn's is flawed but I'd rather take grim yawn's melee any day over whatever the fuck poe 2 is trying to do.
My old Occ/Nec is 68 but I bet it would be more fun to run a Bloody Pox Wereraven build
>>744629237I don't think the world is going to be fixed for a long time, if at all especially with FG's ending. There are tons of loose ends.
>>744629237Fallout did get better with new civilizations being built.The thing is these games are more or less post apocalyptic and they rely on that to explain why 99% of game world is covered in enemies to fight so we'll never get to the point where it feels like a healed world.
>>744629237Dude, GD has like three apocalypses going on at once. That's not going to fix itself in 20 years or whatever.
>>744627782I was gonna go back to PoE2 after playing GD but it's still missing so much. Like swords for instance, or melee strike skills that aren't shit
https://www.makeship.com/products/mildly-amusing-box-pinsyoooooooooo?
Feel like there's something I can do with this...
>>744629562>Dude, GD has like three apocalypses going on at once. That's not going to fix itself in 20 years or whatever.Ulgrim is unironically sure Malmouth could be fixed in just a few years, including removing the whole of fleshworks
>>744629882these chests are always so good for chaos build anyway
There's a mod or cheat table to completely respec your classes, right? I can't bear to restart again, I'm just not satisfied with my character or just how the game feels to play right now
>>744630218gdstash
>>744630246Thanks
>>744629882How do you people play without the rainbow mod? This is terrible

Played MP for the first time. Apparently pet buffs effect your party, cause being around someone with minions gave me a few thousand extra health and made my highest damage go from 200k, to over 1.8 million lmao
do effects that reduce cooldown work when you have extra charges? So if I have 1 charge ready I can still get them to refresh my additional charges.
gonna make this cold leaper regardlesshttps://www.grimtools.com/calc/25WwlDEZAmulet & Sword can probably be swapped out if cooldown reduction doesn't interact positively with chargeIn the happy scenario this should have near 0cd leap.

>>744629516I remember the first 2 Diablo's relying on things getting apocalyptic and it was up to the player characters to stop it. So you could see a world that is (normally) not demon infested go to shit rather than things are already shit and getting worse. GD you slowly make things slightly better, but you've got an uphill battle as every end of the world scenario is happening all at once. Kind of reminds me of Hellboy now that I think about it...

If I have % increased to Fire damage does it also increase my Burn damage?I somehow can't get a straight answer at all after like 1 hour of googling. AI summary says it doesn't but when I try to check the sources it uses to make that claim, I don't see it discuss anything abut duration damage being affected by the associated damage type at all in the sources.
>>744637231no
>>744637231It's counted as 2 separate things, because Fire damage is the direct damage type, and Burn is the DoT damage type.
>>744637231also i think if you put skill on your right click somewhere in the character sheet should tell you damage of your skill (but maybe that only works for hit stuff)there is also a mod that put a dps meter inside the game
Am I a tard for not getting the ghoulish hunger devotion first chance I got on a new vet run? My character feels pretty squishy.
>>744638382take turtle first if you are afraid of dying
Can I get some build advice for my Trozan Iskandra Mage Hunter? I know I can improve the gloves and boots but theirs other things I need help with.https://www.grimtools.com/calc/ZwRAjwjV1, Should I ignore the elemental crown devotion since it doesn't stack with the heads 25 resistance?2. What rings, relic and medal should I use?3. I was thinking about getting out of Word of Pain as most things just die to the TSS, where should I allocate the points to.Feel free to offer any advice, I feel to squishy. Probably because I'm not revered with any factions yet.
>>744638441Last I remember flat damage absorption was always dogshit. Did they change it so that it scales better with levels or something? I went with crane and assassin's blade. Climbing scales of ulcama now.
>>7446384921. Yes2. Living Ring (green0 with good affixes add a lot of damage and hp3. Word of Pain -> Word of Renewal and Arcanist passives (you need more status res)Personally I don't level Flash Freeze beyond 1pt since it's useless vs bosses anywayAlso this set feels quite outclassed now with a lot of new Trozan supports. I don't think the new Trozan items favor Inquisitor though.>>744638568It's scales very well with level
>>744638382Ghoulish Hunger is great for survivability, yeah. At low levels though you're probably dying to standing in poison or being hit by boss attacks. Or pierce damage.
>>744624592Did you run it via protontricks?
>>744638382All the survival constellations are powercrept by now.
>>744638714Thanks. I'll give it a shot, especially since it looks like it gives primordial points for azrakaa. I usually went for the left half of the devotion tree on my other characters.>>744638782It feels like I'm getting stomped hard by projectiles. That raven summoning hero in staunton mine was especially nasty. Did projectiles get buffed or something? I'm playing a berzerker/nightblade so I'm extra squishy.
>>744639117Projectiles never got buffed but you are expected to have 80% pierce res starting act 2 because of all the gun and murderer that throw knives
>>744639162The gunners are hardly the issue during Act 2. It's the skeleton crossbowmen that will surprise kill you after a volley or 2.
>>744638714It got buffed with FoA to have charges and I wanted to try it. Can't afford to respec this character, I originally respeced him from an elemental right clicker to PRM, to flames of Ignafar and then now to trozans. Cost 1500 to respec a point. At this point I don't know other builds mage hunter can do and I can;t seem to find one I like other than Trozans.

idk if I was hallucinating but I remember finding either a skill or a constellation that causes enemies to lose defensive ability and gain speed, kinda like berserk. I scrolled through the list of constellations and skills but couldn't find it again. Is there such a skill in the game or was I hallucinating? Could it be an item?

>>744623882Don't know how tanky you are anon, but Gruldir's leap slams one-shot me in Ultimate so be careful.
What component should I put on my medal? The OA from Arcane Spark seems like the best option, unless I'm missing something?
>>744640282arcane spark for weapon damage classes who have some minor issues managing energy or udgenbog components (blazing ruby, bound topaz)
>>744640160I just hit 100 but not gone into FoA on Ultimate yet. I got some earlier gear from him already at Level 94
what armor set is there for a battlemage running elemental cadence with scion of arcane force? a quick look at grimtools doesn't really show anything decent
>>744640541There's no such set so you have to put together random piecesFateweaver is a decent chest piece
Is this a decent start point for a build? I think I would drop dagger and just do 3 set blightlord and go for ranged, I wanted something with pets up front and me in the back. Is it fucked? Am I missing something?

>>744641756Yeah the transmute was a misclick. Should I just ignore the entire fire strike line and just grab supporting nodes for cocktail and just use that and the pets for most of my damage?
>>744641892yeah definitely
>>744641937Cool, thanks.
>>744641756>>744641937Will the pets trigger the set "trigger on attack" skills?
>>744642146Player scaling pets do. There is only 1 cooldown though so often it just means you get 99% chance to proc literally anything you equip, even on crit as long as you have like 20% crit chanceI'm thinking about building around this for example: https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/13733 ; nightblade has player pets like blade spirit and nameless soldier constellation and they will reset the cooldown rapidly
>>744617945Have the player models been updated?
Anyone got that image for power levelling from the other thread?
>>744642207Yeah, I just found the unknown soldier constellation so I migh add that if I can. Fuck, there are way to many cool builds in this game. Thanks for your help

To the guy who said where to go to get the affix transmuter in Kurnhold, thank you. It's odd that every dlc for the game sort of just hides key features either behind quest givers or surprisingly esoteric quest lines you can potentially never find. Like the potion master faction leader that makes the new alchemy station amazingly useful.
Be honest bros how much do you cheat? Personally I just do infinite storage + infinite iron bits because spending my playtime deciding what to trash and what to keep is ass
>>744642827I cheat components, the occasional single item missing from my build and rares
>>744618298>occultist+inquisitorWhat the fuck can I do with this
>>744642858You know you can reroll rare affixes ingame now? Personally I find it a nice middle ground between just cheating them in and farming them the usual way
>>744641617If you're referring to the ascension altar buffs, the roguelite dungeons on ascendant difficulty can have these chests at various locations. They're guaranteed to have a legendary set piece in them I think.
>>744642827just gd stash for storage. mainly because there are so many legendaries that are build defining and it could take ages to find one if i wanted to try out a new build
>>744642953Chaos flame of ignaffar
>>744642953Play blind (with calculator and item database open). Theorycrafting is half the fun.
>>744642827I use DPYes to create extra TP slots in places I need to visit a lot, the new hidden faction is one I've been using like crazy, and run the game at 1.5x speed. Used to run at 2x speed before I started dying to sunder. I'm not above cheating with stash or anything but these days it's pretty easy to farm most things
>>744642207btw (nta) but why do player pets only trigger on attack effects on actual enemies and not on dummies? Even if stuff like wind devils or blade spirits are kinda 'passive' shouldn't their debuffs still be triggering on-attack skills? Even Curse of Vulnerability ticking on an enemy does it.
>>744643285what were you testing?
>>744624745They should really give us level 90 versions of those pieces for transitioning to late game. Also a fucking way to get 4% HP augments when you're siding against Barrowholm while they're at it.

>>744643447Regen has been bad for so long. Enemy meta is big damage spikes. Attack leech is way better. And the nail in her coffin is the flask changes.I'm sure we'll get 1.4 as a final hurrah for the game before they stop supporting it and I really hope regen is visited in a large pass.

Huh, how nice of them to put a cauldron in Coven's Refuge, complete with sidequest to add damage absorption to your health potions. I expected to have to wait until FoA to do anything with the new potion system.
>>744644358Wait what?

Does any anon have a spiritmonger's gavel or an aeon's eye I can trade for?
Thinking of starting fresh again even though it hasn't been long since the expansion dropped. I'm curious how quickly I can get a character to end game with the knowledge I have of the expansion changes.What're some fun starters this expansion enabled? I've done a lot of the classics from before it already
>>744644418I kinda love the pot modifiers. My energy pot, which I don't actually need ~ever, now gives 30% max health as damage absorption and 12% of my life back. Just a free extra healing pot. With two charges. That gives damage absorption.
>>744644741With enough rep, that same formula can be improved further. It's a neat system.Glad they added it.
I can't believe i lived long enough to see this game become shit. this expansion took 5 years to develop, including endless delays and smug passive aggressive announcements from a community manager/tranny fucker who gets high on the smell of reddit's zealous virtue signaling praise, and a bugged release that ruined everything that 10 years of development tried to establish.ascendancy adds nothing to the game and functions as a gambling simulator in a SINGLE PLAYER GAME because they took so fucking long to make the DLC they needed to gamble to even keep wanting to play it. the bonuses are TRASH, there's no way to choose what you want, they don't overpower/take the builds to any sort of next level, and once you engage with it, you know that the only thing waiting for you on the other side of 3 playthroughs is gambling. even more ironic considering they MAINTAIN THE TOOL that gives you infinite stash and the ability to edit and spawn items. why can't I choose my affixes? why can't i just choose an affix and make it stronger with more investment? 500k iron and 15 fragments (a week of farming, at best with current rates) means I get a 3% chance to avoid melee projectiles?here's what i think: zantai hired a couple of trannies who gaped him at the offices over the last couple of years and he's more interested in defending their stupid fucking design decisions instead of admitting that this expansion breaks every mechanical rule and identity that this game has defined and built up a fanbase around. fuck this faggot, fuck this company. last time I ever buy anything ever again.
>>744644627Mythical versions I assume? I've got the gavel if you want to trade it for any new FoA item, I don't have anything in particular in mind.
>>744645050Oh. Nah just the basic bitch versions
>>744633482this pathetic faggot is on full damage control. they'll realize in 10 years what this release did to their garbage company. kill yourself if you're reading this zantai
I didn't notice it until now but crit and retaliation scaling on devotions received a lot of nerfs. I imagine they're both still very strong modes but I wonder if that brings anything else up
>>744645070Oh sorry I've only seen the mythical version, haven't seen anything new on the character I started leveling yet.
Haven't played GD in a ages, gonna jump back but I was wondering if the new werewolf shit is any good? shapeshifters are always my favorite class to play in games.
>>744645259
>>744643325Reckless tempest, which I know requires a critical attack, but if I ran into enemies I would get the tempest lightning strikes even when I was making no attacks of my own (running around, no one hitting me to proc defensive attacks).
>>744645746ill see you in 2036 when your company goes under, faggot
>>744645738werewolf is pretty strong and for a feature that just came out theres a lot of itemization support for it
>>744645865I'm not 100% sure on this but it might be Reckless Tempest checking for hostiles and the dummy doesn't count as hostile (same as the critters in the expansion)But yeah you should proc crit all the time from player scaling pets, sometimes to an annoying degree like it constantly wasting your Deadly Aim cooldown.
Might not go into Ascendant difficulty just yet, the first totem almost wrecked me
>>744643285use pet attack, then it will work (you can assign to a hotbar button)idk why
>>744645924>+3 to werewolf>feral claws 4% weapon damage bonus>on crit: 10% chance to lower the cooldown of rip and tear by 0.8 seconds if under half health>+3 onslaught stacks because onlsaught is disabled for the class for some reasonincredible itemization support. wow well done

I assume "retaliation damage added to attack" is kind of like conversion and only considers the flat values that then scale with the attack's other modifiers? Like if I have 200 flat retal and +100% to all retaliation, attacks that use retal will still only consider the 200?
>>744647510It's just one bad run. For me I got 3 tempest with 0 altar bonus for a run once. Also I do regular totems too due to the pity currency and soul fragment from heroesIt takes (base retal + % retal modifier) * (retalation added to attack) and is not modified by anything after that. It's for pure retal build and doesn't benefit from most regular damage mod.

>>744633482Lol what? Are they insane? Did they forget how damage numbers work?
>>744649000Storm totems will scale better as the game goes on. I'd rather just get storm totem gears earlier

>>744648130most of them are yellow-onlycould still be interesting but it will cost you
>>744649181my bad no they aren't
>>744649181It's just for the sake of novelty or for farming nemesesFor the rest of the game I feel like you just want % DA, % armor and some health bonus
>>744649090I actually got the totem points and all first, thinking that things will get more sporky, but the wind devils are still totally insane in comparison (I'm only 50 now though). If you have any good advice, please share, I'm just trying to recreate the Path of Exile witch from years and years ago in a game that I don't know anything about.
>>744648306>Implicating
I'm trying out burn build for the first time and its working really well. My blackwater cocktails doing almost 60k burn damage now. Do damage over time builds get much worse on higher difficulties?
>>744649401I don't know about burn but my vitality decay build scaled pretty well.
>>744649316idk if the guide mentions it but wind devils' first node do not stack its damage between pets; only the last node does (but it has like half the cast speed of storm totem)There are several sets for storm totem late game and among them there are items that gives DoT (electrocute) to storm totem; this is quite good because the DoT will stack across totems including newly summoned ones. So having multiple totems per cast and just resummoning them is a way to kill a boss by stacking DoT on it. You need to get a few nodes on constellation for more electrocute duration obviously.
>>744649401The main thing you're missing out on cocktail build is sustain, and it does get scary on higher difficulties. Demo can probably scale regen with Occultist/Shaman 2nd and some regen constellation.
>>744649446One thing I'm really confused about in this game is itemization which is very weird, it seems like the same item exists in multiple level ranges? Will there be build-enabling uniques later on and do you have to farm them at max level?
>>744649365Does that work? I believe WPSs take priority
I'm trying out Reaver (zerker+NB), doing wolf piercing+bleed but I feel like fucking myself in the ass rn. Maybe because I'm still level 30 something. On Veteran for the first time and had no expectation but i feel like I could've melt bosses faster.Then again, my gear is shite.
Do you guys play hardcore or soft? The first character where I beat the game I did it on hardcore with a safer build, but I did die fairly soon after on a higher difficulty. Now I'm back on soft because being able to experiment seems better than the stakes that come with a hardcore character.
>>744649621Yes for both, you can craft them as well.Monster infrequents (speficic rares dropped by certain mobs) can also be build enabling and are easier to farm.
>>744649621The monster frequents are build defining green items exist at multiple level ranges from really early until 94 (max); they can always be target farmedRegular legendaries are lvl 75 and not build definingMythic legendaries are lvl 94 and are build defining, but only a few can be target farmed.There are farming strategies like if you're a new player, just do totem farming and maybe keep awakenable blues that relate to your build. If you get a recipe for a set piece that you like, you can craft the full set via transmutation mechanic (forgotten gods dlc).Usually beginner friendly builds will emphasize more on green items or some targetable late game sets like Krieg.>>744649786I respect people who play hardcore but it's ill advised right now, so many random one shot stuff still get reported daily.
>>744649786SoftcoreThis game has a lot of bullshit deaths
>>744649786>hardcore character when you can just randomly go from 100-0 because scrotum the eternal shot a cumfart at youyeah no senpai
>>744649786After hitting 100 on HC and making decent progress for alts, I feel quite bored playing SC
has anyone tried the Dawnshield buildseems kinda funny just facetanking everything and mobs just dying by hitting you>>744649401the damage is fine, as >>744649526 said you have fuck all survivabilityit does get a bit dicey and I'm playing a sorc with sphere+mirror>>744649621> it seems like the same item exists in multiple level ranges?yes, this applies to both monster infrequents(very strong rare items that are guaranteed to drop from specific monsters) and epics (they get buffed and have higher reqs)the faction vendors also have good stuff in them, so don't sweat about it too much if you are just starting out
>>744649786I tried a hardcore character for the first time recently but I chose a bad build and it sucked to level. I still got to ultimate but died to zigging wrong while fighting the shambler in flooded passage (hit with sunder then dodged into his raining rocks, also I was level 60 still).I wish more games just converted your hardcore character into softcore when you died instead of making them inaccessible.
>>744618120reperations for the Kastorrian Massacre
>those beaver death soundswhat the fuck were they thinking
>>744650309>Kastorrian Massacre>there aren't any less of themI'm noticing
>>744650390I don't know I can't hear anything over my Werewolf claws.
>>744618062keki fucking hate those things so much
>>744619519man every build i try to make is way overcapped on bleed res somehow annoying af
Is grimtools not working for anyone else atm?
>>744651687same; it does go down periodically
There's nothing to do with these fuckers beyond the fight, right ?The bosses don't even spawn in the other camps, what is this place even for atm ?
>>744651763It's for a quest but you need to do other Kurn quests first
>>744651835If you talk about the quest where you have to talk to them, then fight in the pit, I did it. That's why I'm wondering if it's just a rep requirement or if I missed anything else
>>744652003Them and the area are likely gonna be related to the new skeleton key dungeon whenever it comes out. Don't think there's anything else to do there.
>>744652003After you do the fight, assuming you cleared other quest, you can return to the chieftain's hut and get a quest to retake the bloodbound bastionIf you reload you can redo the fight
>nerfed harbinger's message>even removed the +4 onslaught stacksguess im not updating
>my builds are ... unconventional
>>744648349not hard when his completion is a whore and an incel
>make it to lvl 70+>feel the urge to start another buildNext one's gonna be Winds of Asterkarn converted to vitality.
I wanted to make a poison retaliation build where things hit me and I just let out an unending cavalcade of diarrhea to drown them but why the FUCK is the affliction trigger vitality damage only?
>>744653306wtf is an affliction triggerAcid is one of the canon retaliation damage type along phys/fire/lightning
>>744652895Does it turn the molotov fire red?
>>744653402Fetid Pool, the trigger skill in Affliction devotion
>>744653306Weird, I could swear it was acid at one point. Still, itemization for acid/poison usually also has vitality so you're not missing out on much.
>>744638802The .jar file? No, why would I? Should I?
>>744653514That base damage won't matter to retal builds since you won't have any % damage at all. The 8% retal added to attack however will do quite a bit of damage, which will mostly be acid retal damage from your armors
>>744653427Why would it? It doesn't affect the molotov
>>744653608I misread, sorry
Blood for Ch'thon
>>744653662you can turn the molotov blood red with chaos conversion, it looks cool
>>744652895>ctrl+f vitality in demolitionist>0 resultshow do you even level classes like these
>press reroll>it keeps rolling worse
>>744654039There are a couple of vitality/fire themed items for demo, typically paired with necrohttps://www.grimtools.com/db/items/12558https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/11200https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/15339It's not a damage that the class deals by default so you have to build around items first
>>744619242>>744619296homestead can suck it. kill a few beasts and those points are right back
>>744654573leveling sounds like a massive pain until you get these items but I guess you could just go all-in on either class and respec after
>>744654039Well from demo you only really get Canister Bomb which in itself is a decent leveling skill. But yeah you level with something else for a while until you can get your stuff online at a basic level.
heh
>>744654730Some of them can be found quite early, like this one which is kinda meant to lead into Blightlordhttps://www.grimtools.com/db/items/12577Demo/Necro still a cancerous class combo to do but some people just thrive on the novelty of it. Like fire skeleton summoner items: https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/12734
So what's the best way to farm these fuckers? Just chucking 5 ashes of awakening into the ascension altar and doing skeleton key dungeons in ascendant diff?
>>744653545because if gdstash isn't native you have to run it via protontricks tricks otherwise running it through plain wine it won't know the necessary locations
>>744645259you're such a fucking faggot, holy shit
>>744655272It is native. Plain old Java. Everything else seems to work except for the last step of load DB.
>>744646652>96 on vet
>>744647653Why is there no middle ground between XXX hardcore gamer and being a total casual?
>>744621079nta, would PS be better than Leap as a CD skill?
Any good AI of the Grim Dawn chicks with realistic body hair?
I have the item that lets me unlock Ultimate on a brand new character how hard is Ultimate going in at level 1?
>>744655725they support different buildsPrimal Strike is often very lightning biased and 2hander biased, with some specific leggo allowing you to use it with 1 handersLeap is dual wielding biased and leans more into physical/pierce/cold damage types
>>744655918Very. It starts out manageable but the difficulty ramps up very quickly while your character will be stuck with negative resist for a long time. It's just a mode for sadists.Most people will use it to powerlevel >>744618556 instead
>>744647539nta, but the game is so big now, it's hard to find a middle ground as to what difficulty you should approach. Elite is in a strange spot where you either start on it or just skip to ultimate once you complete normal/vet.
>>744655747if you want goonerslop, find one of those degenerate ai threads. fuck off
man coming back to the normal 135% run speed after having 150% on zerker feels so fucking SLOW
>>744656261Kinda the same except I never took that shout skill but trying to play without Leap is going to fucking suuuuuuuuuck
Rolling for new character, odds = finally making a pet build, evens = Wereraven-based Evoker
Are there any cool Inquisitor builds? Preferably ones that aren't just dual wielding guns and auto attacking but I could be convinced that that is cool
A sudden change in character class and build makes Ascendant suddenly not so bad. I got my Fireforce commando build, and I regen more hp then the enemies can deal in damage so aside from nemesis enemies I can face tank a lot of shit while setting everything on fire. This is nice.
>>744656015>It starts out manageableOnly if by starts out you mean before you get to the first enemy that uses elemental damage.
is reflected damage a concern for builds that don't do trauma damage?
>>744656857Inquisitor/Occultist: chaos flames of ignaffar or chaos doombolt/rune of kalastorInquisitor/Nightblade: rune of hagarrad (spectral longsword drops from ghosts) or shadow strike or just pierce dual wieldInquisitor/Arcanist: Panetti (elemental or aether) / Aether Ray (likely lightning)Inquisitor/Shaman: primal strike or just savagery with a crossbow and inquisitor's weapon pools>>744657114I think most builds got some free damage upgrades with a lot of buffed items in 1.3 so you actually have to care about reflect now even without trauma. Randomly pointing an aether ray at the wrong mob and losing 80% of my HP in half a second wasn't fun.Also both trauma and bleed builds have to especially care about reflect because the latter has bleed that lasts about 30s
does the reputation gain bonus from the altar affect infamy gain with hostile factions?
loli feet
>>744657516Careful, loli feet may secretly be ch'thonic demon feet
>>744657490Yeah
>that legendary item that keeps dropping instead of what you actually wantStonefist rebuke my beloathed
>>744657804no need to sell me on it anon I'm already on board
>>744657947for me it's Stormrend, I have a whole stash tab full of them now
>>744656757Which pets you going?
>>744656015>>744656074How hard is Elite going in at level 1?
>>744658257Probably going a conjurer and focusing on familiar and the wolf from the new Mogdrogen helm, might mess around with other pets too, dunno yet
Spent my entire savings on rerolling set pieces to get this set but god damn my dps skyrocketed. Is it fun? Yes. Do I fear for my life every time a boss throws projectiles at me? Also yes, fuck me berserker has bad defensive options.
>Noktuari asks me to go complete Tomb of Heretics>Pussy back down to Ultimate>Everything gets melted in seconds>Can still die if I play stupid thoughCan't really hit the goldilocks zone with damage huh.
do you guys use any of the altar bonuses when playing on ascendant?
>>744659150I thought money was anon issue but once you do a tiny bit of crafting it just burns all away.
>>744659646No. Too goddamn rippy. Ascendant already has you getting surprise bursted down, putting one sacrifice is going to give 50% more damage already.
>>744659749Doing SR on normal/veteran for cash gets a lot of iron back fairly quickly, but yeah even a modest amount of crafting legendary gear or doing the transfusions will drain your funds stupidly fast. 150k per transfusion!? Does Crate think I'm made out of money?
Are resistances just cope? Seems like it makes little difference on Ultimate if I have 0% or 80% of a resistance, I still explode in a nanosecond against specific sources of that damage type (mainly puddles).
>>744659646Only when I want something specific, mostly ashes for now.
>>744660129No, you're probably getting>Shotgunned>Have multiple DA debuffs on you>Have resistance debuff slapped on youThat's why people recommend overcapping and why a good chunk of builds use MIs as those have the most resistances.
>>744659646I usually run ashes of awakening for more soul drops
>>744659150>doing anything before 94you are retarded
what class do i play if i want to be an unkillable giganigga the rapist of worlds>inb4 anything with soldier
>>744661614Not anything, only the classes with defences, of which there are like 6.
>>744660832I'm sorry for playing the game anon, I didn't know it was frowned upon.
>tfw I only just realised why the community calls those defensive procs circuit breakersI'm a retard
>>744661727>of which there are like 6.Which are those? Because I assume picking one of them is mandatory
>can't assign an ability to left click with WASD controls onthe fuck is this
>>744662118Not nightblade or zerker, inquis is also iffy with being a giganigga.
>>744662558Inquisitor has flat absorption on the seal
different sources of flat reduced resistances stack right?
>>744662708The seal isn't something you should rely on for survival. It's far too easy to get yourself killed because you want to hang around your own seal.
>>744662708It's 200 or so unless overcapped. Basically nothing.>>744662845No, only -n%
Ok Inquisitor's rune skills seem pretty neat what would pair well with using both of them so fire+cold scaling
>>744662368Anon you are retarded.
>>744662912Kinda whack a potion mod gives you your HP as Damage Absorption.
>>744663118??????????????????It doesn't fucking let me assign anything to left click
DUDE I LOOOOVE ROLLING ELEMENTAL RESIST ON MY GEARPLEASE NO OTHER RESIST NO SIRJUST THESE 20 BLEED AND 30 CHAOS RES WILL DO WHILE I HAVE OVER TWO FUCKING HUNDRED FIRE ICE SHOCK RESISTS
>>744663231What ability are you trying to use?
>>744663505One of the runes I guess
>>744663557??? You guess? You don't know what you're trying to use???
>>744663612What the fuck does it matter? I just want to use left click to use an ability it doesn't fucking matter which one I just want to use one.
>>744663690I was trying to help but you know whatever just enjoy not being able to bind it to a mouse button I don't really care anymore.
>>744663231I'm on Classic mode and my selection is tiny as well. I have my dedicated movement command bound to spacebar so I don't need a click to move functionality and would really just rather have left click as another skill bind with all my skills select-able as options.
>>744663690You can't assign a ton of shit to your lmb
>>744663612Rune of Kalastor.
>>744658359Starting from level 1, Elite kicked my ass when I reached the Fangs DLC. It used to not be this hard, but they definitely made the overall game harder.But you won't have to be at lvl 1 long. You can easily grab a lot of the lore from the starting towns and hit level 15 no problem.And exp rewards in Elite are so massive, you'll gain 2-3 levels just for collecting scraps.
