Nipples of Asterkarn
I've gone back to Softcore after dying yet again in Hardcore. I have become full coward mode.
>>745936372It's a shitty balance. Dying in softcore has zero lasting consequences, but the last time I lost a hardcore character, I did not sleep at all that night. I wish I enjoyed the stakes of permadeath, but in the end I prefer making meme builds and fooling around in babbycore.
got to level 100 on my cold leap spam reaver, i can traverse maps so fast between 3 charges of leap, 2 charges of shadowstrike, stormclap and dodge. not sure what chest armour would be good for it though, or shoulders
>>745934327>grim dawn>here's this lovecraftian FUBAR country, there are alien ghosts that possesses and rapes people, good luck>act 2 and beyond>lmao nvm it's titan quest go fight demons>Forgotten Gods>?????????????????????????????????????????DESERT GODS FROM HYPER MAYAN EGYPTI first found out about grim dawn 12 years ago while looking for this fucked up post-calamity world as an arpg. now I keep seeing hot chunky desert men, a literal cow wearing a corset and now as of fap of asterkarn fucking Braveheart the dog fucker.I'm not keen on the lore but I feel like the aetherials and the looming calamity they're unleashing is just a big fat bait and switch and I'm actually playing a high fantasy world. the ghost aliens just seems to have lucked out.
>>745938002AoM is more of that alien ghost possesses and rapings.It plays like absolute dog cause crate did too good of a job making a trashed city so you get stuck on everything, but the setting is breddy great.
>>745938197just leap through it ezpz
Is the shard of baronath a good skill for a dual ranged elemental mage hunter build? I cant think of any other skill to put on my right click. And would the blind sage or setu be a better devotion to reach towards? I dont think I can fit in both. Half way through veteran I think and word of pain is doing most of the work blowing everything up
>>745938350>leap into a staircase>softlockedI would, but is this shit fixed?
>>745938393i've not gotten stuck in staircases but i have gotten stuck in other terrain and been forced to portal out
>>745938427last time it happened to me was in a port valbury run, I got a bit miffed.
Trying to compare two items is so hard. Like why is this new item 4k more damage? I'm Leap heavy so the Leap buff is really good on my cold Reaver, but damn, that's so many stats
>>745940000No one knows how the DPS calculation really works other than it doesn't, it's completely retarded and the numbers it shows are completele rubbish
>>745940000Your leap is converted to cold and Nex has higher % cold damage bonus, hence green numbers. It doesn't know that removing Amatok will disable the cold conversion.
So what are anons' hopes for Grim Dawn 2: The Grimmening?I would love a soulslike set in GD's world, but maybe that's too ambitious for Crate.
>>745940642i want a yugol themed class, think of legion shadowpriest,
>>745940642I want a more pirate themed act. Beaches, Boats, Caves, Dagon, Underwater Temple stuff like that.Mite b cool
>>745943390good morning saar
>>745943506? Are you too new to know about the mite b cool meme?
>>745940642Gimme a hunter class. Traps, crossbow focus, more natural animals as pets.
On my way to Fort Ikon right now and so far I have encountered only one person who was a bit perturbed when a seven foot bipedal canine tried to have a conversation with him.
Grenado is just really stupidly strong now with charges and either Adversary or Barrelsmith to reload your grenades Some grenado supports feel scuffed though like Yurra's Voideye chaos grenado (not enough support to be its own thing and it competes with Unmaker)
>>745943797>chaosNo. The fire must be pure.
>>745943794compared to vengeful angels, cultists of a dead god and wendigo worshipping cannibals you are pretty tame
>>745934327I'd suck them dry desu senpai
>>745943751One of the best thing about Torchlight 1 and 2 was the pet system. You had a pet from the start and you could give him your items and send him to town to sell them and bring you back potions. And you could modify his powers via Fish you would get. You could transform your pet into pretty much any enemy in the game like a Goblin or a Mimic on a Temporary basis and if you caught a rare fish, it would be permanent. Loved my little Mimic. If you have not tried Torchlight 1 and 2 and you love the Hunter archetype because of the Pets, try them. Really good Diablo 1 and 2 style games. Plus the basic pets were really wild choices from Cats, Dogs, Honey Badger or even Deer and Alpaca or Eagles
I think this is the longest 1click autowalk possible in the game.Though i could autowalk back to my dropped item but ive got scammed.
>>745944139Can I get a spider or a scorpion
>>745944320In the base game, yeah with a Fish. But Torchlight 2 has a good Modding scene where you could just download a Spider pet mod to start with one without breaking the game balance.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=136179370
>>745944320yes, there are fish who will permanently transform your pet into a spider or wolf etc
>>745944219I'm surprised the game pathed this.
more like Analsteria
>>745944472>>745944439Thanks anon, will pick it up after I get bored with Grim Dawn and Quasimorph
>grim yawm
>>745943535>The Dread when you the least expect it
god the adversary is so fucking dumb with grenadoSince you now have 3 charges of grenade with Ulzuin's chosen, and getting a reload with Adversary will give you a stock, a single canister bomb can give you 3 charges of grenado which you can then mash to get your canister bomb backYou actually have to build cast speed for grenado now
Is there a strategy for farming bloodbound totems?
>>745945623You can either farm treasure troves or resplendent troves (on ascendant) and pray that they drop totems (they drop all rare ingredients) or you can finish all kurn quests, do the bloodbound bastion quest, then farm the sealed in cave in the same area afterward (3 bosses with 8/3/3% chance to drop totem)
is this game even good
>>745943794I was pretty surprised there was any dialogue that acknowledges your transformations
>don't see sunder icon because the whole screen is visual diarrhea>instantly dielol!!!!thank you zantai or whoever keeps coming up with these dogshit fucking mechanicsyou should also implement aoe scaling for boss attacks (just infinite fucking aoe aids)fucking retarded cunts
>>745945623Actively farming them is terrible, there's absolutely no good route to boss for them. You're best off just hunting resplendent troves.
>>745940642VFX upgrade, more NPC dialogue and interactions. Maybe a more CRPG based system where decisions actually matter and change the acts.
>>745946103no idea but it needs to go on sale
>>745946103if you like arpgs sure
>>745940642I'd be happy if it's mostly the same. The only thing I really want is for skills to be more distinct in how they actually feel to use. The biggest flaw in Grim Dawn by far is the sameness of different skills, the majority of skills boil down to hold m2 over target and attack.I guess a second ask that isn't really important to me is NPC companions. It's weird they never became standard in ARPGs.
>>745938197> He gets stuckSkill issue.
>>745946282There's like 1 right at the start, which makes you think there might be more, but as far as I know there aren't any. Bit gay innit.
>>745946920It's a skill from the expansion so I figured they wouldn't go back and do anything for it at all. Fangs itself has at least one additional interaction that it changes though
>>745934327Titties of Malmouth
>when you're farming rep in malmouth and lonely moon hits you
>that feel when you are one piece away from your set completion bonus
Yes, they're real. They're not mine, but they're real.
>>745934327>anon is nippleless
how do you avoid this niggas sunder
>>745947112
>>745948562I was waiting for the camera to turn and bara nipples guy to be there
>>745948558you don'tbone colossus bosses are gay bullshit
I really like the music in the Tomb of the Eldritch Sun. Part intense and part sad and melancholic.
>>745948828My favourite is the part where you confront Kymon. It does a really good job conveying how he wasn't this evil dude looking for power but just desperate and genuinely thought he was doing the right thing. Feels even more sombre if you sided with him because he expresses remorse at having to fight you.
>>745940642Dungeon Siege-esque NPC party system.
>>745949654Doesn't help that the Witch Gods really did Korvaak dirty. Doesn't excuse his current actions, but it is understandable.

>>745950694KILL THE NON-BELIEVER
https://www.grimtools.com/calc/VLJBmDONStupid level of damage (I can clear tempest totems before the bosses even attack) but survivability is an issue
>try to do a quest in Feral Thicket>Nemesis spawns>It's the one who spawn copies and rush at you non stopPlz
>>745950694>diesDEATH IS ONLY THE BEGINNING
>>745949724To be fair Korvaak was always kind of an asshole. That being said the only reason he went of the deep end was because 'he was trapped and betrayed' for god knows how long and then sensed Ch'thon was waking up.
>>745951420It's a pretty easy enemy as long as you don't stand in the blood pool, which will heal it
>>745937302That's where rogue mechanics come into play. Heck rogue beat souls in mechanics
Any point in playing the game if I don't care about the number go up shit? I get that's the main appeal for these kinds of games, but I just want to go on a long journey and explore cool areas and genocide evil things. I played before but got bored during farm area.
>>745951585Reading books and letters.Talking to people and gods.Letting the lore seep in.
>>745951585you can just go through the main story and the 3 expansions on normal/vet and stop there, that's still a good 30+ hours of content
>>745934327Why did we never visit capital city of Imperium in this? All that talk of fleeing refugees from there and Black Legion, Ungrim and Creed being from there.
>maxed out resistances is the starting line and not the end goalWhy would you design a game like that?
>>745951585download a build from the forum, delete campaign data from the save, and start from ultimate with a game ready op character
>>745951845game is made by retards
typically people who don't understand resists fail primary school so it's hard to explain to them how it works
you only really start needing maxxed out resistances by mid-Ultimate. Normal and Elite aren't that bad, but frequent shitpuddles can really start to hurt real bad on Ultimate.
>>745950074I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have iron. But what I do have are a very particular set of masteries, masteries I have acquired over a very long playthrough. Masteries that make me a nightmare for tummies like yours. If you let me lick that tummy now that will be the end of it. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will pero pero.
what pairs best with blade arc, shaman or ***htblade?
>>745951845There are a bunch of ways to get resists so it adds a bit of a puzzle to character building. Where you decide to make concessions to get over the baseline. It puts a damper on just slotting in the most optimal damage for every gear, augment, constellation, skill node, etc.
>>745952347Depends of what you have, Nadaan's Reach or Guillotine. The former looks a bit more attractive.
>>745951585do you like dark fantasy/ grimdark fantasy?if so, yes you should play the game
>finally bother with steps with zealot>no problems up to alkamos>get him to 10%>instagibs meo fug :DDD
can I convert the bleeding on werewolf to burn somehow
>>745953968maybe at level 90 if you're lucky
>>745952347If you want bleed then Berserker's Onslaught can produce disgusting bleed If you want to use untransmuted then focus on physical damage and pair it with Oathkeeper
>>745953968Pretty sure bleeding is something you can't ever convert to or from.
>>745953374well I have bothI was looking at the bloodrager set and it seems to lean more towards blademaster than warder, plus the pierce/bleed combo with a sword looks like it would benefit a lot more from all the constellations clumped together on the yellow/purple side of the devotion sheet
>>745954560plus both blade arc and ring of steel are two node skills and leave you lots of points for those juicy soldier passives
>>745954560if you have bloodrager unironically you should go berserkerOnslaught and transmuted blade arc is comically broken
>>745948558The spine shots? Fight him near a corner or from up some stairs. He can't aim it up.
>>745954557Correct, you can't convert bleed at all.
https://www.grimtools.com/calc/ZrGrWJONalright fellas how does this look as a starting point? You can always have 2 primal spirits now and I love those things so having 2 permanently active might be worth trying. Not sure on the devotion tree as I've not done pets in years and I left a load of skill points ready to spend.
>>745955174You can wear full beast caller and still have 90% uptime with the thing (since you have some % cooldown reduction from offhand)You can then go for Wolf of Mogdrogen constellation for a phys/bleed pet set up
>>745955174neat, here's mine for comparisonhttps://www.grimtools.com/calc/23X8qwqV
>>745948468I will now join Barrowholm.
>>745951747Because they had to leave something for a sequel. You can already personally slay 80% of the game's lore.
>>745956982I want to personally lay 80% of the game's lore instead
How is the Whirlwind in this game? If an arpg has no/bad spin2win skill/build I rate it lesser for it.
>>745957201good for levelling but falls of lateryou can certainly make it work at end game but isn't easy
>>745957412holy mother of underboob
>>745957412Damn Ch'thon looks like that!?
Reaver or Evoker for coldest damage?
>>745957934Evoker if you just want to go 100% chilly willy
What the fuck were they thinking with the rallying cry sound effect? Did nobody test this outside of being transformed?
>>745959132ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
>>745957934Veilwalker
>>745946293Sunder was a mistake. And the jumpscare WAAH sound effect is annoying as fuck.
What are good devotions to put in any build? I grabbed the ones I want but don't know where to put the last 10 or so.
>>745960976Its contextual.
>>745960976you could use the extra points to fill out your lowest resistances
>>745957412Is that modded?
>>745960976Owl if you're doing DOTs, it has some -reflected which is niceEmpty Throne for aether/chaos/stunHawk and Panther have 5% crit damage and OABehemoth if it's available to you alreadyBut if you have 10 points left over you should probably see what you can shuffle to get a T3 constellation

Can you change your second class? I was a night blade and picked soldier and it's just not doing anything for me.

>>745960976Lion, Sailor's guide, Scholar's light are nice. Any with movement speed or physical resistance or niche resistances (like freeze or stun) are great to have.
>would you look at that>the floor boss in the Shattered Realm is Rinn'valgoth>again>oh wait, it's two of themFuck this massive faggot, goddamn.
what build are you running /v/?
>>745967227That last thread with the EoR werewolf zealot made me curious, so I'm giving it a shot. There's no good support until level 94, and it's dog's ass for leveling. I might just go full bleed for the moment. But once I can equip pic related, the fun will surely begin.
>>745968537>build needs conduit of whispers bullshitkek

>>745969232boss might've sundered you or reduced your DA and you got crit
>>745967227Mortar Trap Shieldbreaker. Following a guide because it's my first character to actually finish Normal. First 30 or so levels were dogshit, but once I got my bros (Guardians of Empyrion) the whole thing got much better.
How do you determine which skills yield diminishing returns at a certain point?Or should you just max every skill you need/can for whatever build you're going for?
>>745967227Right now I'm just a Demo with Blackwater Cocktail. Thinking of going Inquisitor and being a dual pistol wielding moltov throwing pyromaniac.But unsure on a second mastery yet.
>>745970225Please don't be shit

>>745970331Uhhh... level as Fire FOI then get Voidsoul and troonsition to Chaos FOI? It's ok/10 I'll try it.
>>745971456No. The fire must be pure.
>>745970225What the heck, roll them aetherial bones.
>>745971716Time for another pet build it is.
>>745971319MIs beat everything but level 94 legendaries
>>745940642An Aetherial faction that's siding with the humans because that one aetherial you rescued from his prison from the DLC managed to convince the others to try to coexist with them instead of taking over.
>>745970486time for a pet build... i guess...
>>745971252>giant lakeDrowned zombies or Zombies in general being in water is a rare trope. It's literally the act 1 of Path of Exile. Dead Island 1 and Riptide had tons of those
>>745934327the general is also here >>>4061473but maybe it should be on /vg/, /vrg/ is trash.
And thus was born Swamp Witch, summoner of bramble monsters, thunder ravens and demonic dogs. Defender of Cairn, slayer of monsters, friend to children and animals alike.
wasn't devouring swarm a ground target aoe?why's it a line a now
leap and got stuck in a wallDamn, first time it happens.
>>745972671whoops nevermind, that was vines
>>745972219GD doesn't need a general or to move boards. It's a still recent release with active support, a small community that can barely maintain one thread, and plenty to talk about. It hurts nothing being on /v/ and the threads will die on their own naturally as the modest hype of a single player game expansion naturally drops
so far i reached 14 permanent pets, what's your personal record?
>>745972219/vg/ is where threads go to die.Either the newly made /gdg/ dies a swift death because there aren't that many people active in it, or it turns into some horrid discord-clique shitshow that's worse than having the threads die out.Plus, it's not like /v/ is filled with quality threads. Having a single thread like this on the board increases the overall quality by like 100%.
>>745972219no
>>745972219>12 hours of prime weekend /v/ time>160 repliesThat totally sounds like general material.
>we don't do videogames on /v/Grim.
>>745934327So I just "need" these DLCs and can safely ignore the others, right?
>>745974463Yeah, those three are the actual expansions.
>>745946920There are three as far as I know.>Guy at the start>Elderveil raven>Werewolf tweeker
>Leap 55% Weapon Damage>Leap 4148 Cold Damage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9FImc2LOr8
>>745974895I know GD damage calculation is shit but is the dummy reliable?
>>745974463Yeah the others are just "donation" DLC where they give you a pet for pretty much Kickstarting the game after the fact.I kickstarted it a decade ago and I got a super OP pet that gives me 10% Brightness.But you can get other pets in the game for cosmetic reasons like a little raptor or badger
>>745974995I think so yeah, at least you can see your averages.
