How do we make werewoof good? Ive only managed to use it for leveling with bloodypox.
>>
>>745096213
Werewolf is already very strong and really easy to build. If you're having trouble levelling with it then you're probably overinvesting in offenses when you should basically all into defense while levelling it since it scales poorly with most early game offenses.

Yigra is unironically hotter than Byscilla.

it can work if you can get onslaught stacking on its main attack. otherwise its not any better than just not using it

I'm pretty sure the answer is no. Absolutely more cracked than I thought if otherwise and that would also mean that other procs are buffed too.
>>
Finished the main game on normal/veteran, was pretty easy didn't die once. I unlocked elite/ultimate and not sure if I want to switch? Currently at level 48 and I can kill shit without dying on ultimate but it sucks I gotta redo all the acts and can't start one of the DLCs
Do I run the campaign again on elite/ultimate when bosses got 1m+ hp and I deal around 6-9k per hit or do I run the DLCs on veteran?
>>
>>745097104
Do the DLCs first to unlock the faction reputation so you can passively grind for them once you switch over.
>>
Is there a way to increase the size of only your skill bar or reposition it? It feels really bad on a 4k monitor having to constantly stare at the bottom of your screen instead of paying attention to the map.

I swapped down to ultimate to get my missing quest points and wow my build is almost autowalk tier on normal mobs now. Ascendant really bloats them up.
>>
>>745097324
You can increase UI scale in settings but it bumps up the size of everything. Options in the game are pretty whatever.

>>745097185
Guess I'll do what. I got up to warden on ultimate and bosses while easy are a chore to chip away at

tips for devotion re-route or skill changes? might try ditching stun jacks and putting it elsewhere, I like grenados stun though it helps me a lot. Dps is around 180k at idle and 220ish with buffs but would like more

I tried that but it tanks the FPS which is sad and ruin the graphics. But if I don't increase the UI scale I can't appreciate the damage numbers.

I'm going to be upset if builds settle and Aurora is just on every single fucking build. I've been staring at the pet build I'm working on and trying to justify not adding Aurora when it would fix all my immediate problems since I have a much more synergistic in-build relic.

That looks good but I would lose a constellation skill proc swapping off Nemesis.
>>
>>745098375
ofc it's gonna be everywhere, the stats are amazing for literally everyone, and the proc's value can be further increased by getting other damage shields before it goes off, like from the new potion modifier for example

aether damage is too hard to build or am i retarded. be easier if i just went full elemental on replicating missile

>>745099736
Aether and chaos are harder to build than other damage types yeah. The game straight up gives you less tools for them intentionally to make them "rare".
>>
>>745098375
>I'm going to be upset if builds settle and Aurora is just on every single fucking build.
Serenity wasn't used on every single build so I don't believe that Aurora will be any different, even though it's admittedly better.
It's good but you can do better.
>>

Whats a good build that has a lot of built in tankiness? Ive always run pet builds so preferably not those. Soldier/Oathkeeper is what I assume is the tanky tanky tank, but some fun options?

My build for that is currently abandoned at lv 46.
Does it get better? Because from what I tested it feels like fucking ASS compared to Aether Ray

I just don't see the point.
At least Drain Essence can hit hard + has free lifesteal & some AoE options to compete with new Beamchads
WoA on the other hand does fuckall

I cant figure contelations for shit, im satisfied with what i came up yet i keep thinking there is definitely a better way
>>
>>745101702
Just unironically slap Behemoth + Turtle + Chariot on everything and then whatever -DR Devotions for you main damage type like Solael for Fire/Chaos or Widow for Elec/Aether etc.
Bonus point: Bard's Harp on everything that can get away with it as well & Scythe
>>
>>745101524
Damage doesn't look that low from the tooltip, considering it hits faster than AAR. Not sure if the modifier/extra thing can shotgun. You can get considerable onslaught on it with eastern set and some other thing.
>>
Best content to be farming if iv taken my build as far as I reasonably can with MIs an dspecific farmables before end game sets and legendaries. Anywhere specific for lots of gear?
>>
>>745101921
SR will give you the most legendaries if you can do 26+ reasonably fast. Maybe lower or doing it on elite can be good too, not sure. You will also get a lot of iron if you use the iron potion.
>>
>>745101921
Shattered Realm 30-31 is the best for farming if your build is good enough otherwise just farm totems

Do penalties to enemy DA stack additively?
Or is there no point into using something like Seal of Annihilation with Storm Box or whatever
>>
>>745102217
Any location req for totems? And 30ish SR, ascendant or Ulti?
>>
>>745101809
I thought about rhowan and crab but maybe widow+chariot+harp and then tree of life on top feels better.
>>
>>745102328
It depends. If it says "reduced" then only the best one works, if it says something like "-50 DA" then it stacks, including with "reduced". Generally anything with "reduced" does not stack.
>>
While we're discussing devotions what's the fucking deal with Hyrian+Chariot on everything anyways does the meta really demand that many defensive procs?
>>
Starting a Warlord today. Any advice?
>>
>>745102885
Get coffee so you don't fall asleep. In all seriousness, it's a really straightforward mix, strong and survivable so you'll just be coasting through everything. Unless of course, you play EoR.
>>
>>745102809
hyrian proc does nothing, it just has nice hp+damage nodes
chariot proc is decent but also taken because the nodes are nice, it's good if you can make use of the stun/slow resist and cunning, otherwise meh
>>
>>745102969
You think it's too defensive such that it's boring? Yeah maybe to start with, but I have a handful of a wide range of mostly offensive heroes already. This will be a new approach to me.

>>745102504
>Any location req for totems?
Because a lot of totems are random and have a few possible preset spots on same area but you usually only get one per session per area, ideally you want to always check the map after teleporting to see if the totem is there
1. Devil's Crossing: After the bridge in Devil's Crossing to the right where you fight that first Cronley Faction guy
2. Wightmare: move a bit towards the lake where the path ends, usually you'll get a totem on either left or right side
3. Burrwith Outskirts: either close to where Angrim is, or above Burial Hill
4. Burrwitch Village: close to the Rift after the house, or keep going up the path, to the left after the long road
Extra: South from Rift, if the above twototems in Outskirts didn't spawn (or left of Burial Hill, it's just faster from Village Rift)
5. Warden's Lab: move backwards, Totem shoud be close, this is a good spot to farm Crystals anyways even if the closest Totem doesn't spawn
6. Cronley's Hideout: go up the stairs then down, just spawning on the Rift should show you the Totem on the map otherwise just move to next spot like the first totem in Devil's Crossing.
7. Arkovian Foothills: close to the Aether Crystals, there's 3 spots it can be there, farthest one is to the right next to cave entrance
8. Twin Falls: always 1 Totem there out of 3 spots but they're all pretty close to one another
Can write more later if you want

There's 3 main builds you can run to clear content imo: Blitz, Retaliation and Blitz RTA. I am currently running a pure retaliation build and though its not the most flashy I've gone through ultimate without dying and being a retard. Only put 1 point into guardians of empyrion and max out the RR they give. 1 point in vires for extra mobility. If you aren't levelling with forcewave I'd recommend using a blitz cadence build to level. You want to grab milton's helmet and krieg's shield in act 1 and you'll be online to spam blitzes all over the map. FoA added a new shield that gives both retaliation and an extra blitz charge which is nice.

Alright, so I went back and gave SR another go. My derpwolf can do 30+31 SR without much trouble. I do run out of bonus time because I have to do some kiting and make sure I fight one boss at a time, but otherwise, it’s doable.

>>745106139
Because Korinia isn't possessed. Anasteria does think something is up with her but that's beside the point.

>>
>>745106510
She is and she's one of the faction leads for the DLC. And of course she's the actual goddess that the faction worships. You will find it funny that the CG for her is completely wrong and she doesn't appear in the DLC for that, she's in the other one in the desert.

It is definitely best for farming.

I really like how MIs mean you can get whatt you want by just going to a campaign area and doing the quests there. Makes me wish there were much fewer drop anywhere legendaries and epics, and more guranteed drops.

Just watching the screen fill up with purple over and over waiting for the one you actually want seems like the antithesis of grim dawn.

It varies because high AOE abilities tend to have lower damage than single target and degen onslaught builds can have very high peak damage, but too much set up for most encounters
I think Aether Ray builds have more than 2M all the time which is a nice benchmark. Tweaked out dual wielding builds can probably do 3-4M

I got an Onslaught blade arc build that can reach 5M bleed/s but that requires a crit on blade arc.

>>745111286
it can do a lot because of crits
and snapshotting, dot damage is snapshotted at the moment the dot is applied so if you have temporary RR or something duration will make you do more dps
also dots on player pets, which each count as separate dots, so duration can help get more uptime since proc rate is limited, plus you have crits
also some dots like rune of kalastor ignition modifier stack because it's a player pet, so duration is pretty much multiplying your damage

Fire werewolf is very easy to level and you can farm the apoclypton set from tempest totem https://www.grimtools.com/calc/2JL8lY8Z (replace the medal with Gryphon Eye to turn your guardian into fire dog)

so about dranghoul blade onslaught phantasmal blade, since the archetype is only carried by the weapons, it's a surprising good wearer of shattered realm set
https://www.grimtools.com/calc/ZyDvJ6kV
>>
>>745119112
I'm going to guess that you want to use onslaught + chaos BWC and you want to use a ranged option instead of shadowheart. I would see how much WPS you can reach with that weapon, if you can get close to 100% then it might work OK but 2H ranged WPS is relatively rare, I do think it exists on some shoulders though which might help. Dual guns might be easier, you can use two seals of the void and I think there's a relic/medal that only give WPS with dual-wield. I would consider exterminus for the nice RR and darkblaze incinerator which offers WPS. Either way you will need to focus on autoattacks as your BWC isn't gonna do much apart from aoeing trash, which can still be quite useful since you won't have great aoe otherwise.

Onslaught + chaos BWC is anti-synergistic as you won't be able to burnmax effectively. This is overcome by shadowheart which offers a ridiculously huge bonus to chaos BWC. But it may still be viable with to some extent.

>>745119754
Chariot is OK but getting abom is a lot better. The flat damage on abom is insane. You will have to get some HP on gear though. Divinesteel chest can be good if you don't need any particular chest, or greens with HP mods.
>>
>>745119754
>>745119867
you might be able to fit chariot if you go dual guns, since you won't need kraken
I would not give up dying god or abom though

You should try farming monster totems
There might be a youtube guide somewhere. The easy one to farm is the one near Necropolis Interior. Just move to the dungeon entrance and check the map for where the totem spawned
>>
>>745123591
You should just keep doing the Fangs content to progress your faction rep
After you are done with all main quests skip Elite and do Ultimate
On Ultimate finishing a quest also gives you the reward on Elite if it's a skill point/attribute so you don't miss anything

>>745123591
Im a new player and i personally did a full playthrough (all dlcs) on veteran (didn't play normal at all), that gives you the skill/stat rewards from normal so you never need to play it. Then jumped on ultimate for the same reason as it gives you the rewards from elite.
Im playing ranged so it might be different for melee but ultimate has been a cakewalk, just take care of maxximizing your resistance and have some solid defense, enemies will die eventually.

After normal I have about 20 devotion shrines. If I want to go to ultimate do I hunt around normal for more shrines first, do elite until I natually get some shrines playing through the campaign, or just rush ultimate and start getting shrines again in the campaign?

>>
>>745125326
20 seem like you really speedrun the whole thing; eventually you might want to do some Elite for a couple skillpoints/stat points, so i might grab some on there before going ultimate.

No, WoP is only good in normal
Having no real way to scale it & the devs also hate having certain skills doing damage (WoP is one of them) you'll just waste your time beyond normal.
>>
>>745126760
Night's Embrace amulet & better prefix on the belt
It really depends on your resist but after you have overcapped everything by like 20% it's better to replace armor augments with barrowholm's 4% max hp
>>
>>745126780
Having about 2200+ base chaos damage seems pretty decent though. Or is it applied over time like Devouring Swarm?
>>
>>745126732
Don't think so. It only ever ticks once per second and that's also a ridiculous point investment. Compare the raw skill damage to Storm Totem for example, I think just 16 points in that beat the full 40 points WoP in damage.
>>
is this dlc worth it if i never beat the game? i was running a build and i accidently all my damage to a different element and i didnt know how to fix it
>>
>>745126928
It will tick per second
2200 tick per second (before %) isn't very good, a channeling skill like Aether Ray does like 6K minimum overcapped at 200% cast speed and you can grow it further.
>>
>>745126939
>>745126995
Too bad, might have been fun otherwise.
>>
>>745127294
For AOE builds you should aim for at least 5K flat per second. Weapon pool builds can push into the tens of thousands.

A lot of these estimates don't work well anymore since Onslaught builds kinda push a lot into the bullshit realm. If nothing else I think Onslaught should get nerfed so it doesn't affect DoT.

There are 3 types of absorb
1. Misnamed shield bubble like Turtle. Easily identifiable because they are in the thousands.
2. Flat absorb. Very strong, even a small amount makes you immune to DoT. Easily told by the amount being up to a few hundreds, except for Blast Shield which goes up to thousands but is not 100% up.
3. % absorb. Maiven on Arcanist, Possession on Cultist, Primal Bond on Shaman.

Turtle may have been fine in 1.2.1.6, but it's powercrept in FoA.

If you mean shield potion, you can have the shield up to protect your full HP and when you start losing HP it procs Turtle. It's pretty good.

I think the addition of onslaught is a contributing factor because you wanna max more shit, so all that +skills is nice. Also berserker has a lot of nice passives. The stats look nice, unlike serenity which has meme stats.

The nodes suck. It used to have physical resist. Maybe if the nodes don't suck for your build it can be decent, andor if you have a lot of CDR, and I believe that could be the case for certain builds. But I usually would go for panther or one of those other fags.

I have no fucking clue what this guy's game is except that maybe he refuses to make friends with cannibals but in all seriousness every character needs to aim for 20'000 these days. You can have some fantastic layers otherwise but any any lower than 20k health and you're pretty liable to either melt in pools after you've finished off a boss at full HP once leech ends but before you can react, or get two tapped off a surprise sunder.

With HP affixes being easier to aim for thanks to FoA crafting and ascendant raising the damage I wouldn't be surprised to see people start aiming for 25k floors before cutting health for damage too.

If I had to give new players planning their first personal builds any advice it would 100% be to aim for 20k after resistances. You should even cut phys res for it.

lmao way to out yourself as a gdstasher
getting a specific affix with the new system is still cock and ball torture to the point it's the realm of cheaters still
i spent ~250 AoAs and i did not see glacial ONCE (yes i used the altar)
let's say i was just unlucky and you can get it in 250
...now multiply that by 2 for prefix/suffix
now multiply that 5 for all the cheated greens these builds use
that's 2.5k AoAs
do you have any idea how long that would take to farm? of course not because you just GDstash your tiems

Bro they're fucking MIs you're supposed to farm a good base, multiples ideally if it's an easy MI to access, and then roll them within budget. When you're farming tempest totems particularly you get bases like crazy.

you're just proving my point
recreating this legitimately would take you thousands of AoAs
and the vast majority of builds use a set meaning they don't get to just shove 6 MIs into their slots
if you actually played the game you'd know getting vigorous is even harder than getting a specific green because not only can you not up your odds with an altar but there's also a good chance you get upgraded to a green affix and thus can no longer roll vigorous

Yeah the insane damage taken on ascendant just straight up removes a ton of builds from the game. At the very least lower the damage of smaller attack.

The minimum thing they should do is to make the altar not have so much damage increases too. The HP increase is nothing (starting Ascendant already bumped the HP up) but the damage is crazy on altar.

>it's not absolutely perfect gear so it's shitty
yeah okay lmao
it's still useful double rares on almost every slot my man
and that doesn't change the fact that most builds do not have 6 fucking open slots to fill with MRs
and they especially don't have 5 different MRs that have HP as on the base while still providing other useful bonuses for the build

I'm okay with ascension being as difficult as it is since it's clearly meant to be a mode for strong characters and I'm not bothered by some builds being boxed out but I'm bothered by altars. They're tedious to use on lower difficulties due to resetting and the scaling feels all over the place.

Grim Dawn is very forgiving. The game DOES have unintuitive ARPG bullshit, but you have a ton of freedom to tune your difficulty, fix your mistakes and experiment without paying out your ass to respec something and you can't ruin a character by committing to a mistake. It's very easy to go in blind and then learn slowly whenever you need to.

This has the exact same issue. The way they hide it is making a separate game called the Campaign where you are supposed to use all mechanics.

You are doing hybrid normal damage + retal when your retal is very low. It's not worth building around unless every piece of armor + shield you have are retal pieces.
You should just focus more on % physical damage. The shield is still very good even without the retal since it gives rapid cooldown reduction to Blitz and as you upgrade % phys damage on blitz it will just pay itself off.

-X% res (like widow) stacks with similar effects and it's calculated first
X% reduced (like ultos) comes after the first type but doesn't stack with itself so don't exceed one of this type
Last you calculate the -X reduced res, again it doesn't stack with itself so only get one

So in that case yes, those work alongside each other. I suggest you find as many of the -X% type as possible/reasonable.

Does Viper Reduced Elemental Resistances effect also apply to spell hits?
How does it work, is it a permanent effect on everything or only after you hit the enemy once?
>>
>>745138651
Viper is Type-2 RR, and needs weapon damage to work. At 100% or above weapon damage, it's applied fully. At below, it's proportionally applied. If you're not hitting with weapon damage, it doesn't apply at all.
When it applies, if enemy resist after Type-1 RR application is positive, then it's proportionally reduced by the Type-2 RR amount. If negative, then it's proportionally increased by that amount.

Okay i did it
95% absorption, cant reach 100% w/o sacrificing resistances
All resist capped (and some way overcapped it is what it is)
22 phys res
But only 11500 or so hp
Still i think this should be close to immortality on ultimate other than getting sundered.
Opinions?

difficult to say anything if we don't even know what build do you have. 11k hp is incredibly low for a melee character but might be ok for a summoner or caster. similar thing wiht armor absorption, no point in bothering to take it to 100% if you can't even scratch 2k of it
>>
>>745142384
Your best option now is to invest in the level 75+ components.
Ugdenbog leather for example, looking at your belt, replacing the antivenom salve will give you flat HP+, the same poison resistance and additional bleeding resistance.
It's just a chore to farm aether crystals and ugdenbog blooms but the areas they can be farmed in are quite good for spawning in unique enemies to fight for decent gear drops

Okay i googled figured out how to link my character.
I started copying a very simple build and have been building off it and now im aiming to a more endgame config of that same build.

The guides i follow(ed) are from a bit before fangs so i might be just doing some extremely outdated shit, but im breezing through the ultmate dlcs w/o breaking a sweat on a super easy to play build while i watch futurama.

The 55% aether res is covered by the word of renewal buff
Buff lasts 1 minute and it has 12 sec cd so i always keep it up while also having it as an emergency heal.

https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/1-2-1-6-beginners-fire-gunslinger-purifier/136838 This was the guide i started following while leveling and such
And this is what im aiming for https://www.grimtools.com/calc/b28laoq2 at end game.

Does Blast Shield provide Flat Absorption per second or is it just once & spent for the duration?
