>>745029896Why are you gay
>>745029896MP isn't great in this game in the first place and even if it were, Grim Dawn selects for single player enjoyers since it's the only ARPG left that caters to the playstyle
>>745031059Consider disabling dread at Devil's Crossing and seeing how ascendant feels after that. The rewards on the mode are totally worth stronger enemies is you can clear it
>>745031124last epoch is pretty close desu
>>745031059Skill issue. I literally upgraded 1 piece of gear whos blueprint dropped on ascendancy and now I feel like doing the same if not more damage as in ultimate.

Dreadnaught or Zealot? Is the RR from thermite mines good enough or does demo need oathbreaker to deal with the bloated resistances on higher difficulties?
>>745032434Use your compounds and powders.
>>745032447you have bonechilling scream as well as the mines, not to mention your devotion procs
>>745032434While I do agree that the resist autism in arpgs is retarded and they need to do away with this trend, it's really not that hard to understand and fix your resistances it's just addition.What I would have really liked is something like how you can trade one resist affix out for another directly like in PoE1. GD let's you reroll stuff at a decent price now but by the time you can do it you're probably already well beyond levelling.
>>745029529I would have preferred to stay in wolf form or try something out with the raven but onslaught stacking seems to be the way to go. Not that there aren't ways to get onslaught stacks as one of the wereforms but still...What damage type to focus on anyways? Onslaught has the chaos modifier but most of the demo's conversions are to lighting damage.
>>745032546Do the screams and mines stack? I thought they were the same RR type.
if the anon who wanted elemental briarthorn is still in these threads, the mace that converts it has a blueprint you can buy in forgotten gods
>>745032660Fire would probably be easiest to build for, Onslaught isn't really there to do damage, just to build up stacks while your bomb is on CD
>>745032660Apoclypton is actually extremely easy to farm, so much so that it's probably a starter build going forward. You can just go fire werewolf grenades.
>>745032736They are, but it's the one reduction type that adds with itself
>>745032660>What damage type to focus on anyways?Cold
>>745032736they're different abilities so they stack
>>745032847What's the difference between A and B again
>>745033341Read the picture explaining it, retard
>ascending gear removes the augments and componentsThey should change that. Not sure how many ugdenbog leathers I can still craft without farming for them.
Does GD force certain builds like POE to get anywhere, or am I actually allowed to have fun?
>>745033543it's a single player game mostly you can have fun with any build you want.
>>745033341The image is old and slightly out of date. The real formula is (add b together) x (highest of c) - (highest of a). So there are two qualities: it only picks the highest value, unlike b, and it isn't multiplied by c.(the c operation also changes depending on whether a brought the target into negative resist, but don't worry about the specifics there.)
>>745033543You can practically make anything work. Just pick two classes that seem to have abilities that roughly share the same damage type, that's all you have to do. And even if you don't chances are that there are items that will just force abilities to have the damage type you need, but that's more advanced autism territory.
I have medal that converts bwc's fire damage to chaos, but it doesn't seem to effect agonising flames? Is that a bug?
There isn't enough resistances.
>>745033647>slightly out of date*inaccuratealso meant to add information about the real formula:https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/actual-resist-reduction-formula/47174
>>745033692Did you check the skill's tooltip in your hotbar or did you check the second tab of your character window? Because the former will more often than not show you retarded stuff when you're running conversions while the latter will have a detailed damage breakdown.
>>745033543Pretty much anything can be made to work. GD's big appeal is that it's actually a game you can play however you want to and introduces very little friction to play
>>745034015Is says it's all chaos damage, so I think the tooltip just doesn't change from to chaos for agonising flames. Odd, because the other tooltip does change.
>>745031746Acid synergy + curse of frailty and blood of dreeg being absurdly good, also you can get possession if you really need tank. Oathkeeper + occultist definitely carries big passive beef and it’s a double rr class. Not as outright loaded as say warlord but definitely up there.Shaman + oathkeeper is another obvious combo if you want to go elemental instead but I avoid that combo cause guardians of emperyon already irritate me and having wind devils on top is just too much clutter for my taste
Do you guys finish every side quest before moving onto the next difficulty or just the main quests then move on?
>>745033543Grim dawn is the best arpg for solo players because it’s about having fun not milking time and money out of you.You can get pretty creative with end game builds but that’s basically predicated on slowly accumulating interestingly rolled greens and specific legendaries over lots and lots of play time. Starting out you’ll need to seek out at least a couple specific greens aligned with the skills you want to use and then probably just roll with the first good legendary set you can put together to expedite gathering more loot. Once you get going the amount of future builds you can put together on your next character snowballs
>>745034787my ocd will not let me move on until I've done everything
>>745034787I’d do it all first play through and then for subsequent characters you’ll run just the main quests to help level and do just quests with key rewards
>>745032815>>745032838Fire is what I started out with, and Apocolypton's does look like it has better synergies with Dreadnaught specifically. I don't think my current character can farm tempest totems reliably though. >>745032938This interests me a lot too, especially ever since seeing the Dreamwalker set. The medal also specifically adds frostburn damage to flashbang, so if that forum post about that skills work with onslaught is correct, I can turn flashbang, grenado, and blackwater cocktail all into Onslaught boosted cold damage attacks.
>>745034787I don't think too hard about it, at some point I just look at my build and go "yeah this seems ready for ultimate" and drop whatever I'm doing at the moment
>>745034787After downloading a completed map with no fog of war I use the leveling guide image posted in these threads and then main quests and all sidecontent in Ultimate. That was I don't miss anything on a character but I also don't feel the compulsion to explore each and every single corner of the map to fill it out.
>>745031812>>745034472Alright, I really wanna see the skillpoints and devotions you guys use on that
>>745035035I'm so used to aRPGs being online only that I honestly forget you can download mods for GD
>>745035106The D2 conversion mod is sick.
>>745035049Uhh go to grimtools dot com and look for sentinel builds anon. You’ll be on that website a lot if you pick the game up

>>745033543I've never used a guide or read up builds online, while clearing ultimate on multiple characters before the expansion. I've cleared ascendant difficulty now as well. The game is designed around you throwing whatever bullshit in the mastery/devotion tree and somehow making it work. The only real mandatory thing you should be aware of is maxing your resistances and getting defensive skills. The addition of the dodge mechanic(previously there was only the medal jumps) trivialized the game.
>>745028647I only played the base game and none of the DLCs. Any reason to play now? I am not really into farming shit or trying different builds. I actually rather restart respec if an ARPG game allows it, and finish it with most fun build. I remember this base game having great soundtrack and really cool lore. However I remember disliking that the game damage types are just tags. They aren't like, fire = burn, cold = slow or stamina depletion. It's just a damage type meant to balance resistance values.
Do any of the movement augments on medals allow you to go over walls/blocked passages? Would really help the farm.I tried Displacement and it lets you teleport behind pillars and cut corners. But you could've just walked that.
New player here, when I'm supposed to enter Elite difficulty, after doing the normal campaign all the way? I'm lvl 62 right now, just finished Malmouth, got Gods to do, don't have the latest one.
>>745036142I prefer base game + all 3 dlc on normal or veteran then straight to ultimate, elite isn't really important anymore
>>745036142I'd say it's best to get to Ultimate before doing everything. Major quests that award you additional attribute or skill points retroactively award you the Normal/Elite completion as well.
>>745036142Unlocking the reps before jumping difficulties is also a smart move to make
>>745036579I'm not sure why people say this, your rep carries over between difficulties
Can you deal retal damage to ranged enemies or is it only ones that hit you in melee? If you block a hit do you still retaliate and what about if the hit misses?
>>745036617You farm the reps while doing anything else
>>745036224>>745036341What level should I be for Ultimates?>>745036579You mean maxing them out entirely? Which ones, if so?
>>745036835No, you have to interact with a faction to unlock its rep then you're fine playing like normal. The leveling guide ITT recommends playing Elite till you unlock (visit and side with) Barrowholm then start on Ultimate.
>>745036998I've completed Malmouth on normal just now, and I'm friendly (I think) with those sus dudes at Barrowholm, so I'm gucci?
>>745037117yesas long as the faction is visible on your faction window then you're good
>>745037117>susYour boy Scorv is just a friendly guy anon, what's the problem?
So just to be clear, any flat "X damage" buffs apply to all skills that have "weapon/off hand damage" on them and not just basic attack shit right
>>745036835I think I was ~70 when I finished everything in normal being thorough. But as long as your resistances are good (there's a penalty in ultimate) you should be fine in the 60s or whatever
So essentially on Normal you can just side with whichever faction, it's not going to brick anything, but for Ultimate you'd then want to lock in and make sure you're picking the right ones if you didn't already pick them?

>>745037850yes
>>745037850That's the gist of it, but there's really only a couple that matter (Kymon v Order, Siding with/Against The Outcasts & Barrowhelm). Kymon v Order you would want whichever faction has augments that are good for you, and Outcasts and Barrowhelm you can be friendly with unless you need a few specific gear drops from going against them, which have been power crept out of relevancy for the most part
>>745035527>The addition of the dodge mechanic(previously there was only the medal jumps) trivialized the game.I must be retarded because I've died more on my current run than pre-dodge patch on normal

>>745041680Some items let you use skills that you otherwise couldn't with that class of item. You can't equip a shield with it, but your left click attacks can proc Shattering Smash.
>>745040283I wish it was set or you could configure it to only highlight stats of relevance to you. Like if the skills you have invested in deal cold you probably don't need to see chaos. Obviously there are edge cases like gear modifiers or future plan that would be complex to figure out order of priority, hence being manually configured. Though I'm not sure if that level of granulity is possible.
>>745041362These are actually preferable since epics are more common so if your endgame set is awakened it's easier to get started

I'm struggling to allocate points for this cold damage cocktail and grenado build. I'm starting to think I might need to just focus on one or the other, which would be unfortunate. https://www.grimtools.com/calc/2gae6YBZAny suggestions?
>>745042960take points out of agonising flames and Bloodfrenzy and put them in some defensive, especially blast shield. agonising flames adds much less damage than the other two nodes and you can get resist reduction elsewhere.
femTaken is kinda cute ngl
chaos skeletons kick assi can't see and it doesn't matter
>>745042960Grenado isn't gonna do shit, it needs more item support with charges, cooldown reduce/reset, and/or total damage modified, ulzuin's chosen is also essential, I would definitely not use grenado with that set though there is no way it can be good.You could go onslaught + cooldown BWC although I'd say a fire version is a lot better with rageflame spellblade(s), or chaos with shadowhearts. To me dreamwalker suggests spam BWC to saturate the proc which should be quite strong and has very low CD so stacking up BWCs will proc it nicely, should also give you sustain since it leeches. That would go well with wereraven. You will want to max cast speed, I think there are some items that modify wereraven so you might be able to get even more max cast speed. I suggest skilling it like this, and getting more items to support BWC, you want BWC/demon flame/agonizing to all be maxed if possible.>https://www.grimtools.com/calc/VbKxpBkZ

>>745044962It could work although there is a funny thing with ultos devotion, the dot won't stack from multiple player pets unlike most dot devotions, possibly because it's attached to a special debuff. I would get either tsunami or fiend for the wind devils and convert, if possible. The damage is significant with 7 of them. I'd skip Spear of the Heavens too, it's expensive and no electrocute damage which is gonna be a lot of your damage. Also worth noting that if you let your devils put their dots on an enemy then resummon them, the new dots will stack with the old ones. So resummon is kind of a dps booster cooldown against bosses.

wtf is this weapon? Why does it have +4 Devouring swarm? Is that from the affix? Can affixes be changed to a more bleeding one?
>>745048354annihlation gives +4 devouring swarmYou can change affix at Kurn after completing the quest to find the tinker
>>745048393First time playing, what level would that unlock?
>>745048393>after completing the quest to find the tinkerI don't think you unlock rerolling until way later, the inventor by default can only salvage item/component
>>745048483The tinker of KURN adds the reroll option>>745048454Usually lvl 40-50 if you go to Kurn as soon as you are told in Ikon
>>745048454Kurn is the town from the newest expansion so you need to own the expansions and you can access FoA content when you hit Fort Ikon (Act 4).

Is chasing Retaliation a good idea when leveling or should I keep that stuff for lvl 30+ when skills that benefit from Retaliation start coming online? Also on that topic, which is more fun?>Warlord>Shieldbreaker>Commando
>>745049034Warlord is de facto retal character. Or Sentinel.Unless you twink a full early game retal set like the acid retal set, don't bother with it during leveling since it's a very hard stat to get.
>>745048731theres is virtually no difference between a single refillable potion with a cooldown and having 3 stacks of 999 potions because they weren't even scarce to begin with
https://www.grimtools.com/calcCan anyone take a look and maybe advise on spots I probably missed? I plan on changing the ammy soon since double storm totems wasn't as helpful as a I thought. Thought of using Eldritch Kaisan for +1 skills and CC protection but maybe there's better options?

>>745051162I don't see any source of flat RR to substitute for the missing Rhowan Crown
>>745051162Get solael's stormfire ring for EoR level over the glyph. Maybe get 2 just to max it out, stormwitch does little hereNeed flat RRNeed severe amount of attack speed. Even of Alacrity on weapon would go much harder. Ferocity is probably the best suffix.
>>745051093>>745051162You've got no source of flat RR, if you can spare 3 devo points just get elemental storm and map it to your mobility skill. Ring also seems like a waste? You've got no pets
>>745051331>>745051504>>745051493Shit, right. Forgot about RR entirely. I can definitely take out some points from Spear to slot that in.Not too sure what to get for the ring though. I'll take a look at the Solael one at least.I'll also try farming a double AS spear to compare.Thanks!
Is the new expansion worth it? I already have 400 hours logged.
The fucking heralds/portents are awful, worst new enemy.
>>745052357lol yeah the teleport is annoying when they're the new healer enemy
>>745052357>>745052501I swear they're tankier than most enemies too, or is it just their healing that's too good?

Does anyone have that starter chart? I'll just make a new character to gather Scrap so might as well make it a new experience. Also, wolf or birb? I've seen a bunch of stuff that really support wolf but seems like the general consensus is that it sucks.
>>745055480Are you talking about this >>745029896 or the roll chart? I tried wold and then went full SCRAW mode per the recommendation of an anon here. I don't regret it.
>>745056206The leveling guide. Thanks. Do you just use Winds of Asterkarn or something else?
They really need to reduce the healing abilities of some of the new bosses.
I have zero fucking idea how to build a character. Either I'll play and get rekt by pussquill until I quit, or I'll play until I reach a boss that constantly one shots my "tanky" character and I'll quit like the fucker in the snow town right before a cave who puts down constant yellow crystals that end my life every single time.Still I go back and try again. I may be a retard, but I'm a stubborn retard, and I will get my money's worth one way or another.

Does the difficult system work the same as back in the day? Are you still expected to play through it multiple times and raise the difficulty each time? If so should I bother with the expansion content in each difficulty or just rush the main campaign?
do the main campaign in normalElite is now skippable do Ultimate and if a quest gives you stat or sk point reward it also gives you the Elite reward
The game has the most retarded system an arpg can have, dynamic scaling. Wherever you go all monsters are leveled to your level. Total dogshit.
>>745058863Ok, I think that makes sense. If I miss devotions in normal can I make up for them in ultimate or do I have to go back to normal to get them?
>>745059039each difficulty has its own set of shrines, so there's like 150 devotion points in total (max 55 on your char)You should however get the normal devotion points since fixing your resist makes Ultimate easier
>>745058269You get rep with all 3 you'll just get rep with the one you pick a little faster from the story
>>745059080thanks anon
Fucking hell. Finally doing the new expansion areas and that music is 10/10
>>745057071The game is trying to tell you that your dps really sucks.
Okay, no. Not doing Werewolf.>Squishy as hell>You do get a high ACDH basic attack replacer but it's too weak>No immediate ranged optionsMaybe this works during endgame but that was awful.
>>745058269If you know your build check out their gear at each shop, they cover every class and might have some nice +3s for your main skill. Also check out the first page of the shop for movement augments. The first faction you choose boosts you up high enoguh to unlock them right away. You apply them to medals and they give you movement abilities. It's like having a second evade but better.
>>745059619Which 2nd class did you pickWerewolf is very viable but you need early game sources of flat damage much like every other weapon damage build>Occultist (chaos wolf)Solael's Witchfire, Possession>Nightblade (pierce wolf, get weapons with 100% armor piercing)Dual Blades>Nightblade (bleed wolf)The interesting weapons early game are Pit Master (act2)'s axes. Your bleed is on Rip and Tear and Circle of Slaughter
>>745058269It doesn't matter, you get revered with all at the same time almost. You can choose whichever one looks like fun. Byscilla has the best early augment imo (the leap).
>>745059525Freyoll Valley has my favorite track.

>ascension altar resets when ending game sessionok this is retarded, I got excited for nothing
>>745059605If I'd listen to the game, I'd just cheese Onslaught.
>>745060053Yeah, it's a pretty bad addition imho>Sessionlocked>Buffs enemies way too much even at baseline and that's on top of Ascension buffs>Biases don't work that well>Pretty meh even if you're gunning for Double Rare MIs since rerolling is a thing
>>745060231You have to get a lot of bases even with rerolling since the cost of rerolling is insane
>>745060262Maybe, but I still think that's more economical compared to sacrificing a material and getting to do a single run off it.
>>745060398A single run is like a whole hour or more. You want to do skeleton key dungeons to get multiple nemeses and find the ascendant troves and visit all the easy totem sites for tempest spawns at least.

Do you guys do expansions in normal or go to ultimate first?
>>745048354Are there are 2H guns like this for bleed? Melee is kinda not fun at times.

>>745068018anything else? there don't seem to be any other sets to complement it with even though it doesn't seem to compete for slots used by many other sets
>>745070664Rah'zin pieces complement it, rings are just usual chaos good stuff (Voidheart and Combustion Band)idk about medal but probably Voidplume crest to nerf enemy OA/DA (curse of frailty now reduces chaos res in case you played from like 2 years ago)
How do you unlock the secret faction in fangs? I talked to the bird after collecting the poems but nothing happened.
>>745069251I started going to ultimate the second I unlock it and it really isnt so bad. Resistances are a spook. Just keep a stack of trash gear with resists on hand if you keep getting btfo. That pittance of xp lost occasionally is not worth trudging through elite
>>745071105Wrong bird. Go to guardian Sorrow rift and walk left till you see a secret path.

This game does not, in fact, respect your time.

Anyone else level to 70 before hitting ultimate? Lets you grab all the faction gear and makes the switch easier.
I look at the Devotion screen and my brain just turns off from information overload.
>a mob in FG dies leaving a debuff that gives -16% Phys res just becauseholy shit

>>745075076basic trash in FoA can debuff your DA by 560>manged bristlehorn>Asterkarn Titan>maybe moreWights can debuff your max hp by -25%A long time ago the grim dawn group on 4chin discovered that DA was highly overpowered. That was during the day when Crucible was considered hard. The hardest enemy in the game was a hero boss that reduces your DA to 0.DA was nerfed like a few months after that. I was there.
I got the first real end late game item for my build and it wrecked my res setup but w/e its progress
>>745074961If you warp around Normal until you have like 40 devotion points and have mandates and shit to use jumping to ultimate is easy, Act 1 enemies are slow enough to let you get your shit together.
>>745075203I got basically oneshot by a pack of those boars twice. This game really sucks at telling you what enemies actually do.
>>745075027Best is to focus on some later constellations you want then figure out a path to get to them while still getting roughly relevant bonuses.Like you're doing a fire damage build. Ulzuin's Torch is your endgoal. So start off with stuff like Hawk and Viper and work your way to later things like Solael's Witchblade. Then soon you'll hit being able to reach your constellation of choice.
>>745074886>or making soul fragments to ascend your itemsDo I need to find that recipe?
>>745075364It's a slightly hidden blacksmith, west of the Guardian's Sorrow rift
>>745075364Ascension is from a secret NPC (technically there's a 2nd method). Guardian's Sorrow Rift, head west-southwest and find the path south, hidden
Bloodfangs, implements of war, and onslaught work with ranged weaponry yes? I wanna do a occultist berserker build. i saw that the rallying cry has a thing that let's me dual wield pistols so I wanna try something with onslaught and then pop it with doom bolt. Any good pistols for this?
>>745075650Implement of War already allows you to dual wield pistolYou can just dw the MI pistols dropped in blood grove (the boss drops 2 guaranteed)
>>745071838I think the mechanics of resist reductions are the only real hidden gotcha, especially for how important they are due to meta incorporating it into the scaling.Conversions might be another (since it works different from conversion in the only other game with conversion, POE) but the game guide explains it in pretty good detail. Assuming you go looking for it. Resist Reduction isn't mentioned in the guide at all.Devotion pathing is complex for a beginner but gets simpler as you get more familiar with it, which is expected behavior in any game.Skill tooltips and charsheet could do with being more accurate/less arbitrary (properly incorporating all modifiers and not just some) but maybe that is programmatically complicated.
>>745075650Wepaon procs work with guns too unless it says they're melee specific Avalanche is a bit odd at range though, it's slightly shorter than how far you can left click things with guns

>>745075416I do have him maxed I just never saw that option. Bless that they put the smith orb into kurn to not have to walk there.8 per is quite a bit but they drop pretty common.
https://www.grimtools.com/calc/V1wjpaYNYou can make Primal Strike an alternate to Blade Arc for bleed onslaught. Surprisingly few items for it, but this is the closest the bleed on it has ever been relevant in the game's history.
Phew. Got my bonus points.
>>745076670I threw together an Ultos' set minus the weapon with Raka'jax instead and it slaps shit so easily all the way into Ascendant, still missing some items I want but I could sleepwalk my way through the expansions with this. Might as well go melee honestly with the axe but its nice having the Hydra devotions and the left click itself on Onslaught is really strong with the extra weapon damage.It's basically a better version of my Warder I made forever ago
Aw, shit. Apparently there's more. Is there any reason to keep going after getting all the bonus skill points? Is this like the crucible where you get a bunch of loot chests at the end?
>>745077085the best rewards that people farm is SR 30-31 then start overIt's very good reward and also very good iron for crafting.
>all the AAR Extra Beam items have anti-synergy with each otherMy 5 beams…
>>745077141Sound tempting. Guess I'll see how far my gearless ass can make it.
>left ring shows more damage than the rightI am so confused. Can 13 spirit and 2 more frostburn really overcome the bigger offensive and elemental roll?
I feel like they might do another pass to nerf OnslaughtIt does make Zerker the most synergistic non summoner in the entire game. It feels a bit stupid that you make a cooldown or DoT build and the first thing you think of is ONSLAUGHT even if zerker does not have many other compatible skills.https://www.grimtools.com/calc/ZwRA0BbVHe also amplifies the degeneracy of all the "total damage modified by" items.
>>745077592If you can't make it to SR30 then the best part to farm is just whatever you can clear quickly.
>>745077880It is either because of the frostburn duration bonus (which exaggerates the damage) or because the spirit loss on the right makes you unequip another item
haha vindicator go zap
>>745077973Hm nope no gear has a red border with it. So yeah the frostburn is really scaled up on my build.
>saw FoA add items doing Retal Damage converted to Atk>one third of them is for Oathkeeper>nothing works for Soldier + DemoWas expecting I can finally make a working Commando Retal build. No clue what I was thinking back then before I switched to Fire Forcewave

did the recent patch change something regarding MI drops? Because I am getting them from monsters that do not belong, like the herald crest dropped from the troll boss in smuggler's pass or ugdenbog items from FoA mobs
>>745080680Maybe you're confusing them dropping from something else? Resplendent and Nemesis drop MIs from other enemies.
>>745080361AFAIK the DoTs are converted when their related damage type is converted, for example if you convert Vitality to Pierce it should also convert Vitality Decay to Bleeding.
>>745080680Ascendant mode makes bosses and nemeses and shit like that drop MIs from any monster on top of their normal loot
>>745081237Bleeding isn't pierce's dot, they're both their own thing
>>745081237Pierce and Bleed aren't relatedBleed conversions don't exist, just adding bonus bleed onto skills
>>745081289>>745081345That's quite gay.What happens to that vit decay when converted? Does it disappear?
>>745081426It stay as is if the target conversion doesn't have a DoT version (pierce, aether, chaos)
Is there a Grim Dawn novel? If not there should be.
>>745077880It's probably the 5% frostburn duration. I don't think OA is factored into tooltips at all.
>>745082086It isn't, I'm also pretty sure that it doesn't even factor in stuff like crit. I believe it's more of a pure calculation of your damage x attack/cast speed and nothing else.
>>745082041I wish. Hell, they don't even have any dedicated writers. Everyone participates in writing. I was surprised to learn that. The best we have is the lore note compilation but that is currently missing FoA stuff.>>745044069
>>745082180>Everyone participates in writing. I was surprised to learn that.I am not surprised to learn that. The quality of writing throughout the base game and especially between the DLCs is noticeably inconsistent.
I can't find a way to look at prefix and suffix on grimtools.
>>745082041(You) should write some grim dawn fanfic (not, like, porn type but just a grimdark adventure plot in the setting) then sell the idea to Crate for publishing. Who knows, you could start a Grim Library expanded universe like 40k.
>>745082347Seriously I have to search it on my search engine and then get a link on grimtools but searching on the site shows nothing.
>>745082347I just filter via item type > suffix/prefix > Ctrl + F. I'm more annoyed that the game itself doesn't have a way to separate the mods by itself.
>>745082347each item category literally has a "prefixes" and "suffixes" tab
Is the reflect damage reduction here additive?Combined with the fat HP % it seems pretty bis for late game.
I can't make up my mind, is the stuff on the Scarmakers worth more than stacking Primal Strike's damage even harder?I've already got Primal Strike overcapped so those two points in it would just be moved elsewhere.I'm using some blue gloves right now that aren't either of these but they have a bunch of Cunning so I'd need to move stats around if I swap them out
>>74508414130% to PS' 500% unmodded is near nothing. Even if you have it modded, it's still peanuts.
>>745084320That's what I was thinking but I also have 100% cold to lightning so the Scarmakers lose out on the % damage I guess, not that that part's a huge dealI should probably just post my whole character in its current state https://www.grimtools.com/calcIgnore the Manticore devotion it's just temporary until I find the resist down ring I want I'm gonna move those points to Tsunami or another defense proc maybe after
>>745084609I'm retarded https://www.grimtools.com/calc/V0AwkyoZ
First time I got the Dread. Wasn't too bad and I got him down to like 1/4th HP but then the fucking day night cycle made it impossible for me to see the dark wave attacks on the floor.
>>745085072>no Hardcoreyou didn't even bring The Dread to 1/4
>>745083963yea it's additive, but being BiS heavily depends on your buildthe augments available for rings and amulets are very strong and usually a large source of damage for most
>>745048731thanks for the warning will pass an d stick to D2
>>745085419The screenshot is from the beginning of the fight duh.
My defensive consist of giant's blood, wayward soul, blast shield, untamed rage and the prismatic diamond. Anything else I should be striving for?
>>745085985Ghoul? Why are you even looking for more?
>>745086354I'm asking if I need any more. And ghoul isn't much use to me as I don't do a lot of weapon damage.
Currently at 4 beams on my AAR. Hooray
>>745086641I hear 2 and 4 beams aar is awkward to aim
is it just me who doesnt like the "choices" in the game ? i mean let me be able to get what i want when i need it>inb4 muh different choice in different difficultythat is a retarded way to overcome this shit
>>745086971There's only one where that actually restricts you. If you don't really care for """"roleplaying"""" in an ARPG, just pick the obvious ones that don't cuck you out of a faction.
>>745086947It is a bit wanky but when most things are groups of enemies or big fuckers, it should be alright
I'm trying Mage Hunter Aether Ray and it feels like ASS compared to Druid at level 80 Ultimate.Damage is lower, less offensive Const proccing because no Wind Devil, and currently Deadly Aim seems the only truly good benefit for higher OA...
>>745087765>and it feels like ASSyou mean it feels like ARR
>>745086971Ultimately all the factions that give you a choice or not only matter to do once for the recipes and you can do whatever and it won't impact your build afterOutcasts' augments all are outclassed by expansion shitBarrowholm has direct equivalents in other factionsKymon and Deaths Vigil stuff suck
>>745087881albrecht's rether ray
>>745087881fuck I meant AAR
>made it to shard 30Holy shit. I need a break. Please tell me I can just stop here and continue from this exact level later without needing to go through the whole thing again.
>>745087930rectal ray
>Everyone flexing how much beams they can use at the same time with the new FoA stuffI'm fine with just one... Mine's good enough, and it's a perfectly fine laser, what matters is how you use it...
>>745087990you can craft waystones at the blacksmith to start around different levels
>>745087990Is this Chaoswolf?
>>745088449Except the new beams also add extra girth to your lasers...it's over, beamlesschuds...!
>beamfags trying to mimic a fraction of the power of the Ternion Attack OGs
>>745088791I hate it so much when a red chad beam beams harder than my virgin cyan beamMakes me feel insecure
>>745089015nice try chaos beam fag
it's almost funny how bad crucible is drops wisecleared the whole thing from wave 1 to 200 with extra spawns on gladiator and only got 9 purples and a bunch of MIs, not a single of which was double rare
>>745088617>Eternal Waystone Opens the way to at least the 32nd shard, up to the 36th shard. Okay, I see how it is. Might as well try getting a bit further in then. >>745088789It's bleedwolf with the goofiest build and items you'll ever see. https://www.grimtools.com/calc/2jB0J1j2
>>745089195SRs really is just the way to go.
>>745089068Only Red Beams can satisfy Byscilla & Anasteria...
>>745089268srslya single 30-31 will drop about the same lootalso they need to hurry up and add some special smith npc to turn other rare reagents into bloodbound totems and frozen asters
>>745089264>4% Phys reduction>Unoptimized items>SR 30Kino
So what's the use for those potion mods that protects you from environmental damage (seems like it's only protecting you from aether fields and nothing else) and the occulurom one, which reveals hidden stuff. What does that even mean?
>>745089452The latter is for the FoA secret quest.
Forgotten Gods areas seem good for farming ashes since there's a shitton of treasure chests and bodies in the tombs to check for ambushes
Tell me about your POISON builds.
do I just rush to ultimate after beating the main campaign on normal?
>>745089795Grab Barrowholm rep along the way.>>745029896
>>745089795Speedrun north through ugdenbog first to get Coven and Barrowholm rep unlocked cause you get their rep easy from shit you kill everywhere else in the gameAnd I think you can unlock the potion cauldron at the coven and not just in Kurnhold
>>745088791If a fat fuck gets hit by multiple beams, does it hit multiple times per tic?
>>745090078Nah, they don't shotgun.
>>745089749This shit gave me trust issues.I just want to loot a dead body, why did god forsaken me
>>745089872>>745089993Thanks. I'll probably hold off a bit from ultimate anyway. My damage was not good enough after trying to switch.
Okay so for shit and giggles i activated Ascendant modeIm clearing the candle district in ultimate ascendant and i have gotten 1 purple item.I have done a trove and a totem and it has been mainly blues, i mean im used to totems giving at least 1 epic and sometimes 2. A totem dropping 3 blues legit surprised me.Also as im nearing the end of the zone i spawn>The DreadWhich i obviously have no chance to kill (i dont think). So now im cucked of advancing through the city to finish the quest and will most likely need to redo the whole zone.Thanks for reading my blog.
>>745090553Get your 50-55 devotion points if you haven't yet and you should be okay
>>745091003If you warp away the Dread despawnsHe comes back way too fucking often until you kill him once and turn him off though
>>745088791my channeled spell has 360 coverage, thanks
>>745090125This is systematic arcanist oppression.
>>745091104Nice to know, i warped away and im cleaning another part of the zone
Alright, looks like this is as far as I go. This giganigga is oneshotting me.
>>745091492>malding;)
>>745091492how much hp does he have
>>745091492>going to SR32 with 14k HP
>>745091647I dont like that one bit
>>745091694My bad, I was thinking about the Dread and didn't double-check the quote.
https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/14523Seems like this might be neat for Clairvoyant Spellbinder?
>>745089284Savagery and Primal Strike.
>>745091592This much. Man, this sucks. Apparently if I just give up, then I don't get to collect any rewards, which means I'll have to start over from lvl 1.
>>745090125Ternion attack chads stay winning
>>745091816Looks great, might lose the weapon dmg on the beam but that might buff the spirits, I need to drop that and see
>when you hit level 94 and can equip all the good shit you have storedThat's a good feeling
>>745092109>12mVery doable but really, the higher you go the more likely it is for the modifiers instead to fuck you over. Also, SR doesn't drop Soul Echoes and the FoA stuff right?
>hit ultimate>2.3k armour and all resistances capped>10k hpYeah... I'm getting one shot aren't I?
Huh, they didn't give Korvaak any sunder attacksHis meteors hit like a train on Ascendant though
>>745093056It's really an issue if you're melee, otherwise you can just roll and better survive than melee
>>745093056Absolute breeze to the point that you will get comfortable and eat a sunder+one hit rarelyBut your stats are mroe than fine
>>745093056You'd be fine, just don't be retarded and stand on shit that's clearly killing you.
>summoner has all best equips except one>15 pets>still get raped by CrateaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAA
>>745092624Yeah, I decided to move on. I am literally not equipped to deal with that guy. As for your second question, I have no idea. It was my very first SR adventure. Also, I just realized that SR buffs bloated my stats by quite a bit, so I have no idea what my current real damage is.
>>745031495The HP bloat is ass. I just cleared SR29-30 on ascendent without an issue, but the bosses at the end having 10,000,000 hp each and me doing 220k DPS while facetanking sunders gets old pretty quick kek
>>745089452the first one helps with that quest later on too
>>745093543>Crate>pets>15 petsThat's exactly your problem. Unless you're really good at controlling them, spreading damage makes that fight even harder.
>>745093056To start ultimate that's fine, it's not like the dread's going to attack you in Devil's Crossing when you wake up.
>>745095927Only because Jarvis can't set the Dread on you right away.
