Fuck you too game.

>>128789145
What are some of the "right devotions"? I'm tempted to reroll when I finish Ultimate as my Conjurer. More-so, reroll as 1h melee + shield. Not sure on classes, either. Soldier, of course. At first I thought + arcanist, but + demo or + nb sounds legit as well.

First for AAR being the worst skill in the game.

>>128789848
Light of Empyrion, Targo's Hammer and Manticore are the main ones I'm using. Then just anything that gives OA and OA%.

>>128790154
Yeah, sadly the beam skill is a little tedious (same with the others, conflag, oblit etc) I love beam skills in ARPG but damn GD just falls short. Huge pain in the ass to use (gear, energy, the delay and ticks in damage)

>>128790425
I'll write these down. Wouldn't mind preparing my shieldfag a little before I start it (still a while away) How tanky do you need to invest to be very tanky? I've never used shield in GD before. Like in PoE you need to invest your soul to be a proper block character. My goal is just to be a very tanky asshole but I've no idea how realistic this is or if you try to balance offense and defense.

is there viable hc builds for dee caster ?

>>128789848

You can't go wrong with any of the early access but highly useful stuff like Hawk, Empty Throne, Crane, Viper and so on. Later on, the more defensive orientated procs are a good choice, like Giant's Blood and Chariot of the Dead, Dryad's blessing. Most offensive procs either scale badly at this point, or just suck as compared to their defensive counterparts. A couple of very useful offensive procs are the Manticore and Assassin's blade. Getting stuff that gives OA is always good as well.
But unless you play Hardcore and plan on getting to ultimate, it doesn't really matter and you can experiment as you please.

For a shield user, you'd want to get Anvil and Autumn Boar for shield proc, and maybe some DPS devotions, like Bull or Dire Bear, together with Assassin's Blade for reduced enemy defenses. You can go from there to either more shield procs with stuff like Targo the Builder or Obelisk of Menhir, or take the offensive route getting to Oleron and Unknown Soldier.

>>128790638
It's very easy to become tanky in GD. Basically as soon as you cap out Shield Training you're good to go. Don't forget to take War Cry and put 3 points in the transmuter for fear CC.

>>128790932
Another great reply, thanks, anons.

I'll admit I've more-or-less ignored non-pet devotions (just focusing on my Conjurer since B28 or whatever, quite a while anyway) I'll have to take a further look into the devotion tree, specifically the ones mentioned by you anons.

>>128791129
For sure on Warcry. I'm amazed at how people neglect it and I'm not even a Soldierfag. What's retaliation like? At least on Ultimate. There are mixed thoughts about it in the community. I wouldn't go out of my way for it but it seems decent if you're expecting to get hit a lot.

And how do shieldfags sustain themselves? (ie 1v1 boss fight where you'll be getting nuked/slapped for a while)

>>128786465
build plz

>>128790638
Oh I love beam builds they're the coolest shit in games but they're always the worst. And in grim it's pretty unplayable, I'm pretty sad since I completely respected and geared for it and it's awful compared to replicating missile.

>>128790425
>Light of Empyrion
Quite point intensive, is it as good as the text says?

>>128792836
it's pretty rad and if your into paladin RP it's a nice visual. but it's the rest of the constellation that's frankly awesome, tons of resists and even a 3% additional max resist that makes it good

going to try gun shaman, will report back after I clear act 1

Are the legos from the last quest completly random or are there some restrictions, like no weapons?

>>128791340
Retaliation is good, but you need to stack lots of different sources of it. Devotions and gear help with this. Devotions especially. 1v1 I have no problem with anything. I can facetank whatever I want as long as I use my cooldowns in a smart rotation.

>>128792836
hefty investment for sure but you get what you pay for. A shitton of resists and a good proc.

>>128795209
I got a weapon from it.

>>128793449

I'm also working on this, just got to the labs and been fine most of the time.

Any ideas on what devotions to get? and other classes?

Biggest problem with retaliation is well, all the ranged enemies. It just turns into a slug when you have to fight them. It is still possible to make a strong a viable build with it, there was a video on the previous thread where some guy kills Log on ultimate with just retaliation on b30.

>And how do shieldfags sustain themselves?
We sustain ourselves thanks to all the shield and health procs, and own abilities. Take for example the Dryad's Blessing devotion; on it's last rank, it has a 10% to proc on attack, and it heals 10% HP on a 3 second cooldown. The reduced poison and bleeding duration is just icing on the cake.

Damage wise you can reach the point of soloing Fabius on ultimate, so you're not reduced into being just a mob flytrap on multiplayer.

>>128792836
While I find most high tier constellations shit, Light of Empyrion is quite good. It is a good place holder until you can manage to max your resistances.

A reason I hate the high tier devotions is because you always end up picking up useless stuff to reach them, so might as well focus on getting all the good devotions that don't require you to invest in shit.

>>128798506
what skills are you leveling? Both arcanist and Shaman?. My first shaman so this far went with Primal strike tree and 1 point in savagery and boar. tried out the totem and wind devils but I don't find them very useful but I'm a bit shy to invest much just to try it out...

>>128798825
Who else is on suicide watch from drops? Ive been using the same vendor 2Handed weapon from A3 Veteran to A3 Elite.

>>128799363

>>A reason I hate the high tier devotions is because you always end up picking up useless stuff to reach them
Exactly, thats why I tried getting there and oh man, that stuff proccs so often, its amazing.

Kinda. But I guess the whole soldier/nightblade combo is just bullshit, this was just wrong on so many levels even with 44% aether res

>>128799363
About 150~200 legendary drops, with about 75% of them being duplicates :^), and until yesterday, I still had a shitty level 40 yellow belt from A3 Veteran into Log Ulimate and a gorillion BoC/SoT runs.

I was wondering, do you guys think builds that are fun are that way because they feel fluid and involving or they are fun because they make you feel strong?
I think the game is not really good at the first thing with the squishy classes because well, you just die so fast, but pretty good about making you feel strong, especially tanky classes.

>>128803375

When I come up with a fun concept to play with and stick to it even tho it might not be the best build around. So roleplay builds.

>>128803375
thats why many people pick soldier as a secondary class so they can enjoy the other one in peace

i think funniest builds are the ones built around a niche skill/damage type, and making them viable

Any good sorcerer builds?

>>128803375
I favour skills that feel good to me, not if it is overpowered/ezmode. Like in PoE I played LA all the time since CB because it just felt right to me. No nigger used it but I really liked it. It was nice, simple, sounded and looked solid.

Haven't found anything like it in GD. I play Conjurer and it's good and all but nothing has clicked for me.

>>128801046
>>128798530
So you guys would say that Soldier NB is the best for being a shield and tanky asshole? Demo still looks solid for Blast Shield and Vindictive Flame.

>>128804000
http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30155

>>128804243
A long as you pick a soldier, any secondary will work well for a shield user. Just pick what appeals to you the most.

>>128804243
Vindictive flame is only good for the damage but it has a cooldown and it's not even retaliation damage so you can't buff it with %total retaliation damage.
Blast shield is super far in the tree now, it's not bad but i'd take pneumatic burst over it anyday as a defensive tool.
You need to keep in mind that melee guys can put themselves in really bad situations if you use blitz and demo has no "oh shit" button like NB(or arcanist) does.
You could go demo but not for the defensive things, the offensive abilities are what you want from that class.

Is Battlemage still shit or no?

does anyone know how to get a retaliation build going early game or is it something you have to limp half assed to until you can do it?

>>128805084
That's a good point. Why would you pick Arcanist over NB? Outside of Maiven's Sphere and mirror. Also if you're somehow going elemental heavy perhaps. Shieldfags mind screencapping your trees? Still unsure whether to go Arcanist or NB. Arcanist with Invoker's Shard might be neato.

>>128807472
Before Maiven sphere nerf that skill alone was worth it honestly, mirror was just icing on the cake.
If you go arcanist you can still take the nova skills and elemental damage with the new cadence transmuter.

>>128807965
NB sounds more and more attractive the more I discuss it with anons. I really like Veil of Shadow too.

>>128808545
curse >>> veil
sigil and blood give a ton more survivability too

>>128808807
Anon why do you do this to me.

Actually can you even do a chaos heavy shieldfag? I'm inexperienced with melee in GD. And don't mobs always move out of Sigil making it worthless?

>>128808926
I think they do try to avoid it but end up moving back into it so you can choke them
witchblade is definitely the most fun soldier combo because it has everything except for tankiness which is compensated by soldier

>>128809121
Why go Occultist though? You say Curse and Blood? Possession and Raven + Mend Flesh on Defensive could be good as well.

is the crow pretty good to spec into healing or is it shit

>>128808545
With NB you can go S&B, dual wield or even 2-handers.
>>128808807
Veil reduces total speed not only movement speed, that's really good.
>>128809435
The crow only use is for healing pretty much

>>128809413
go occultist if you feel like having life leech, armor, 100% ps/acid res, chaos damage, acid damage or a qt3.14 raven
I used to play pure occultist but with addition of shield mastery picking soldier is justified
just don't get bulwark, that shit's broken

>>128810186
veil is pretty irrelevant when you are stunning and petrifying shit on block/taking hits
hourglass is GOAT

Here is a detailed guide for a good S&W Blademaster that can even kill Ultimate Fabius in 2 minutes:

http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30989

why do people still use blade arc if cadence has actually more bleeding damage, more weapon damage, and more crit damage? is there some meme im missing?

>>128812125
Why would you NOT use both if you're going for a bleed build?

>>128812281
because nightblade is a thing and curse gets rid of enough resist to make a bigger impact than a few more hundred bleed damage

What's the lowdown on dumping into Physique? Before November when I last played there were a lot of people on the forums who recommended it as being the best option. Now I'm seeing people saying that's changed with the latest build, why is that? Did Physique get nerfed or something?

>have 2 characters at 50
>3 more at around 25

I can't fucking decide what to play. And the only 2 legendaries I got so far are for neither of those characters. Fucking sucks. Love the game though.

>>128815638
No, people just got worse.

Keep on going Physique.

>>128820065
Reaching Nemesis status with an enemy faction and then having a build capable of killing their super-boss.

>>128817281
They probably took advantage of the fact that before B29 or B30 you had the same chances of getting legendaries on veteran than on ultimate.

what nemesis is the easiest to farm for legendaries for a fire damage warlock?

I still feel that this game would be MUCH better if they dropped those retarded pure elemental daggers/scepters and created 1h ranged elemental weapons. Does anyone even use those daggers as a weapon? Why not make a sword that doesnt have physical damage, but leave it in the fucking sword category?

muh first character to complete Ultimate

obviously the gear isn't completely finished - there's a few pieces I would switch out/regem but tradings pretty tedious and overall this guy was pretty damn good for not being a solider/arcanist and it was pretty cool dishing out more lightning than most shamans ever will

I will say I really wish there was some sort of arena unlocked when you beat Ulti Log where you could face waves of heroes, and more and more keep spawning until you're overwhelmed. The lack of any sort of endgame challenge once you're done with ulti is pretty disappointing

oh well, time to make a pistol fag

>>128840834
>The lack of any sort of endgame challenge once you're done with ulti is pretty disappointing

That's my only problem with the game too. There's not much reason to go back once you've cleared it with a certain style/build. For all of it's problems, I always liked TL2's randomized dungeons and massive content mods. Hopefully GD can get some really great mod creators if they ever release modding tools.

Arcanist is the better choice. Inner Focus, Mirror of Erectoes, Olexra's Flash Freeze and Mental Alacrity are gud son.

Unless they changed it in the last patch you can't bind a devotion skill to auto attack, it has to be an ability or an ability that counts as your default weapon attack. Both the talisman and shard give you an ability to use as your default attack thus allowing you to bind something to them.

Just curious if there is another option.

Why the fuck they made skeleton key so hard to craft I have no idea.
Dropped this fucking game.

It's extremely stupid since it's not like they keys guarantee any good loot anyway.

Anyone FPS tanks whenever they go to the top of Fort Ikon?

>>128869072
>>128869030

Keys should have a chance to drop off King whatshisface so you can do multiple runs off one key, reducing the need to farm mats endlessly.

How/when do legendaries start dropping? Lvl 50 and above but do the mobs need to be 50 or you too? Also does any mob above 50 have a chance to drop one?

>>128869139
Are the keys for Bastion of Chaos single use as well? Because if they are, I am just going to move onto Elite and forgo farming for corpse dust.

Anyone want to give me some suggestions for devotions on a Cadence Blademaster? Dual-wielding for what it's worth.

How does Grim Dawn compare to PoE, D3 and Torchlight 2?

>we will never be able to add certain components to change SoT and BoC layout/enemies
what's so hard about coding modifiers based on extra materials put in the skeleton key?
for example coldstone and vengeful wraith would buff ice relenants and some ghosts but also increase hero spawn rate and their drops
or put extra blood of chton for a second chamber of souls
this is the closest we will ever get to custom maps as far as unmodded GD goes

>>128870209
It's the same but different.

You're welcome.

>>128870209

It's got a more raw, visceral feeling to it. Plays closer to PoE than D3, but I feel it's more fun than either of them. Then again, I've only got 70 hours and about five times that in D3.

Fun ARPG, my favorite since Diablo 2. Flawed as fuck, though, but it's still incomplete so maybe all the weird and wonky changes the devs have made now will come together to make a cohesive whole, as they have said so themselves. It was a well balanced game in Normal/Veteran with lots of build possibilities and variety, but ever since they introduced Elite and Ultimate (the higher difficulties) the whole balance has gone to shit and the meta is basically Arcanist/Soldier + X for each character you make, effectively killing viable build variety.

How extensive is the item list at Graceful Dusk, is what's there all the items in the game right now or are there entries missing?

>>128872712

The issue I see with it is the lack of AoE clear. OFF has a fucking huge cooldown and wind devil by itself doesn't really output that much dps.

I could see a Nightblade/Arcanist spellsword type build work pretty well but Nightfall is so god damn far away and unreachable that it'd make the whole build basically require lvl 50 to even be able to do anything. Still, blinking in, OFF and ring of steel with the transmuter COULD work.

Did anyone suffer a performance drop with the newest build? I always got a constant 60 fps with B29 but with B30 and the same setting my fps sometimes drops into the 40s.

>>128874714

It does. Those Chthonic rifts in Act 3 and Act 4 are it. You get a shitload of XP from them, although post level 70 everything is a slog, even the rifts.

>>128875439
this chtonic rift in blood grove is nothing but an extension of the area around it

theres nothing special to be found inside, aside from good chipped claw + roiling blood farm

>>128874534
>>128874714
If you have a higher leveled character you should have a shitload of epic items just lying in your stashes, when you make a character skip everything but the main quest and shrines, you can go really fast since items are so strong in this game.

Are there any items that gives your attacks -resistance% ? I'm tired of having half my damage lost due to resistance. I'm specifically talking about AAR.

just use manticore devotion for -60% to everything, like most other builds in ultimate

>>128877732
>>128878273
Or alternatively you could get the Manticore devotion for Acid Spray. It reduces all resistances.

Do you mean respeccing out of earlier constellations after you've reached higher ones that on their own give you enough points to support themselves?

I like how it's currently working. If you spend some time tinkering you find lots of ways to optimize your setup in order to get as many beneficial constellations as possible.

>>128881253
>Do you mean respeccing out of earlier constellations after you've reached higher ones that on their own give you enough points to support themselves?

Yeah, that. It's sort of neat, but it also feels like it's not working out the way Crate intended.

>>128881992
I do recall reading one of the devs commenting on it
>Working as intended^tm

Dunno why it wouldn't be. If it didn't work like it currently is, there'd be a lot less customization and more forced paths to take.

>>128873542
Nearly everything. Dont listen to shitters who don't know how to play their non Battlemage class and blame it on the class being shit instead of them

>>128882507
maybe if devotion were more balanced it would be easier

instead now we have devotions noone takes because their affinity bonus is too low, or devotions that everyone takes because the bonus is so high, despite them being useless for your build

>>128883294
oh yeah
teach me how to play my pyromancer with nothing but offensive (mostly shit, mind you) skills
maybe i should get better gear, that is, play on other characters until i find perfect items? and then use them on pyromancer for an hour before they become outdated, and repeat everything?

>>128883332
Yeah, there's certainly a lot of balancing to do among the constellations for devotion to become more interesting. Right now there balance is really off, most of my characters take really, really similar paths which makes it a bit bland.

Honestly, just tweaking the numbers here and there would make a world of difference, and I don't know why that's not happened yet desu senpai

They actually did change components in order to have them stack. Given that the vast majority on the forums were going

without any regard for streamlining the experience (any such argument would lead to strawmans implying I should go back to D3).

Fucking Cratefags, seriously

>>128875929
There were a lot of bugged items like that in TQ.

Those gloves were fixed with the fanpatch though.

holy shit i just realized how useless vitality/vitality decay is

there is literally no way to build around those, either as melee or a caster

>>128885968
>implying
My vitality/bleeding Trickster is breezing through Ultimate. Pretty gear-dependant, tho

>>128884947
It doesn't help that the biggest build testers on the Crate forums aka the only ones Crate listen to are mostly cheaters so we'll end up having a game balanced around the fact that your character will have the most optimal gear at all times.
tbbqh I feel less optimistic about the game ever since Elite and Ultimate were released because that showed us how awful the games balance still was at a point where filing out and polishing kinks should be the main priority and not actually making *the* balance, but even if the game ends up being shit I've still gotten my 400+ hours of entertainment out of it.

>>128885968
>there is literally no way to build around those, either as melee or a caster

wut. Shaman + Occultist is really boss for a Bleed/Vitality based caster. There is some really powerful loot for this kind of spec as well. Devouring Swarm and Bloody Pox were buffed in b30 as well making a good build even better. It's probably one of the least talked about builds, tho, for some reason. Everyone is busy having dick fights over their fotm shit.

>>128886396
My Bleed/vitality conjurer is starting to struggle in Elite act 2. Maybe I'm just underleveled, only being 51. Everything before this was so insanely easy so I just kept pushing forward.

I have some good legendaries waiting when I reach level 58 and 65, which should make it easier. Right now I have Devouring Swarm, Bloody Pox and Grasping Vines maxed, but I don't really do that much damage.

Tips, senpai?

DEEEAAAATH IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.

This game is far from perfect but i love it

>>128885943
there was an MI dropped by tigers that had base +30%, affixes gave like +15%, and if they didnt you still had achilles that gave +25% speed

meanwhile GD lacks in MIs completely, they all give some useless +10% damage or +20 OA. where are the +2 to all skills MIs? where are the ones with +% attack speed? where are resistances bigger than 15%?

i wonder when will they realize that there is no difference between farming one area or the other, except if some monsters have lower resistance to your damage, or drop components

Even all the sub-optimal stuff is fun for me. Might not be builds with the fastest clear times, but I like role playing with my little characters, give 'em backstories and successors and whatnot.

I know this isn't technically the thread for it, but many of you cool niggas played Titan's Quest so I'm gonna ask anyway.

I want to get into TQ but I heard that some builds become unplayable at higher difficulty levels. What are the traps, if they exist, that I should avoid? Also, what are my options for caster builds? The caster builds in GD feel really lacklustre so I'm hoping that TQ has a bit more interesting variance. Basically I'm interested in pure caster and pet characters. Don't need to give me definitive builds, just what masteries and mastery combos I wanna look at.

>>128890619
>I'm still level 58

Why is RNG against me?

>>128891160
Because Crate hasn't actually done any work on the game for a whole year and are lazy cunts who can't balance the game for shit. Most of you should be aware that while they introduced Act 4, Elite, Ultimate and Legendary items quite recently, they have existed in Crates computers for years now. Yes, years. I forget which thread but it was Zantai who even said as much in the Crate forums.

I want to remove my second mastery, is there a ciheat engine table for grim dawn or a working trainer?

>>128891759
Not for the current version, no.

>>128891028
Diviner (Dream/Spirit) is a strong, easy to play, caster with 2 pets.

Dream is the best and most all rounded class in TQ:IT, so I'd pair that with Storm or Earth if you're not interested in Spirit as your second mastery.

What are some useful defensive Devotions, not reliant on shields and good for dial wielders?
Just the ones with res and DA?

Aside that, Im not a caster person, but if you want to play TQ, get IT aswell and the mod Soulvizier, it makes the game hard as fuck until you get to level 5 or so but you can "cheat" the early levels with a bow.

Behemoth and Chariot of the Dead are pretty much mandatory. Tip the Scales is great, and Nymph is probably the best you'll get on your left click, except if you're doing acid damage (in which case Manticore is too strong to pass up) or vitality (Wendigo gives decent life steal if you have a lot of % vitality). I suppose a physical/pierce build would also opt for Assassin's Mark over Nymph.

Also the hp nodes in Targo the Builder gives you a serious amount of health. Ulo the Keeper of the Waters is a good place to pick up resists. Don't have to get the proc, which is pretty lacklustre.

Thanks, that sounds cool. Storm and Earth, eh. I'm liking the sounds of that. What's so good about Dream, though? Whenever I see people discuss TQ they say how good it is. Is it the Arcanist of GD where it's a good mix for any kind of character?
Also, what does Soulvizier add to the game? I usually like to play my games the way the devs intended them as, unless there is a mod that is overwhelmingly good (or important for like bug fixes).

>>128892973
Making a Chaos or Aether based character in general is a fucking pain in the ass due to how long it takes for you to get some actual action going on and it is mostly impossible if you don't have the gear to support it. The selection of Chaos and Aether related spells is fucking atrocious as well.

>>128893138
>I suppose a physical/pierce build would also opt for Assassin's Mark over Nymph.
Thats my problem right now, pierce and bleed damage pretty much requires Assassins blade.
Im not sure about both, one is about taking crits, that could work, 15% on behemoth though .... yeah Ulo and Targo seem pretty good.
>>128893328
More items, more craftables, better skill balance and balance in general, more enemies and so on.
Its really good, dont post on the forums though, really. Just dont.

>>128893872
Sounds good. I might play through the game once without it though just so I can see the vanilla experience. Maybe I'll appreciate all the changes more this way.

>dont post on the forums though, really. Just dont.

Why not? I mean I'm kinda burned out of game forums in general after the shitshow that is Crate's official forums so if it's more of the same then I'm fucking out before I was in.

>>128893328
Dream is Arcanist's big brother, pairs insanely well with all kinds of builds. Lot's of % total damage and general buffs that doesn't force you into a damage type, which means it works with everything.

It makes TQ better in every way.

>>128893872
The health regen on Behemoth is really strong, and has a very good uptime. You won't find much better use of the 3 devotion points it takes to get the proc, plus there's a lot of flat health to get there as well. It's also a very easy constellation to reach, and can gives a fair amount of affinity points.

>>128894181
>Why not? I mean I'm kinda burned out of game forums in general after the shitshow that is Crate's official forums so if it's more of the same then I'm fucking out before I was in.
The game is ass old, its less about shitwars, its more about people acting all high and mighty because they were on the forums "first" and mods with superiority complex.

>>128895106
Ah, ok. I see that in the Crate forums as well with people pretending like they are the sole creators of some builds and hogging all the glory. I saw some guy called Nine losing his shit when someone dared to suggest that his build might need some tweaking after the b30 changes were introduced, mouthing off the guy by saying that he knows the build best and knows what works and what doesn't. Eh, some people.

>>128897176
>look up nine's build

>spellbreaker
>max out one skill and passives
>a legendary set and items you are bound to find in 99% of other builds
>devotions also the same

you know, normally it would be okay to call yourself a build "creator" if it was something original, but in current GD its fucking impossible to create anything like that. all current builds use the same items, devotions, skills, even if they deal different damage types the build is so similar.

i start to doubt mods can fix this shit without a giant overhaul

Hello anon, in your honest opinion should I buy this game? I loved Diablo 2 and Torchlight 2 which seem to be in this game genre, and there are a lot of positive reviews but Steam discussion board has me scared that its gonna end up grindy/monotonous/repetitive after the first few acts. Thoughts?

What build has the least auto-attacking/spamming of one ability and the most general movement/activity/fun?

>>128900920
it does get grindy and monotonous but its still well worth its price

for me it started to get boring after 80 hours, and that was several builds ago with much less content than now.

>>128901041

I'm playing a Primal Strike trickster and it's quite active to play. Gotta pop wind devils, wendigo totems, shadow strike to engage anything at will, keep pneumatic up and use blade barrier as an oh shit button.

Eventually all builds boil down to smacking the fuckers with one skill but I actually feel like working for my survivability.

It also looks awesome with lightning everywhere so there's that.

>>128901543
Thanks, I'll check it out.

>>128900920
>Thoughts?
If you can stand grinding, you will be okay with GD - it doesnt have the atmosphere of Diablo 2 or wonky, but sometimes appealing graphics of TL 2, but at least the item and build variety until ultimate is quite nice.
Honestly, you can always test it for 2 hours and then refund it or torrent it.

Personally? Im dissappointed, not because the game is bad per se, but because it lacks so much compared to TQ and STILL has some majors flaws TQ had and they did nothing to improve it.
Take compenents for example, why is it so hard to make a filter to see which component can be used in armour A or B, why cant I rename my tabs, why are the tabs so small, and so on.
It feels like they took TQ source code and put something else on it.

who cares, just use the same ones in all builds like everyone else

Looking for these items - Exonerator, Barrelsmith's Crossfire, Wyrmbone Handguards, Ring of the Black Matriarch, Peerless Eye of Beronath

have a bunch of legendaries and mythical relics to trade for them

>>128902302
Nice to leave out the "sometimes" ;^)

In all honesty, TL problem was the fucking "skill 1 active ability - and 2314235352 passives"

>>128902457
>Peerless Eye of Beronath
Let me check, sounds familier

Are legendary items restricted by acts/difficulty levels? Or can i sit on my ass in one spot and get everything i want?

>>128900920
If you loved TL2 you will most likely enjoy Grim Dawn, my biggest issue with the game is the lack of active skills since the game suffers from the same issue that TL2 does, barely any skills but you need tons of skill points before anything gets good.

Basically I dislike the lack of build variety that's possible on each class and the RNG is awful as it is pure RNG and not like Diablo 3 where the RNG is in favor of your class. Or the fact that Diablo 3 allowed you to modify skills to suit your play style better. Say what you will about Diablo 3, but the RNG and skill modify system is pretty cool.

It's the best game of its genre that I've played since Diablo 2, imo, but it is also sort of disappointing. There are many flaws with it and they are the kind of flaws that feel tragic because it's an otherwise great game. Take what >>128900919 said, for example. There are lots of builds but in the end you gear them up all the same way. i.e you go for the exact same stats, mostly OA since it is *the* stat you want and you want it the most, regardless of what kind of character you are (ranged, caster, melee, whatever). Everything else is secondary to it. Most of the flaws GD has are due to engine related things and design flaws so glaring that it would require a complete overhaul of many systems for them to fix it and frankly they aren't going to do that. Also, most of the masteries are very badly designed. There's arguably only one mastery that feels like it is properly developed, and it's the Soldier.

Grim Dawn is like a prodigal son who could be president but would rather be a comfortably mediocre stoner.

>>128902670
When are they ever appealing

>>128903573
Opinions

Same reason some people cant get enough of pixel graphics Opinions!

>>128903767
No one would ever get enough of pixel graphics if they were all high quality efforts like in Metal Slug and not cheap "It's Atari nostalgia you guys :^)" cash ins.

i wonder what crate were thinking while creating the occultist mastery

"lets give him the weakest damage buff and two purely damage skills, two DoTs that dont work well together, a buff to second most useless damage type, and then allocate 1/3 of the tree to fucking pets"

and of top of that, not a single skill is good enough on their own, and needs 1-3 passive extension skills. fucking hell, soldier has only 7 of those while occultist 17. not only are your skills shit, but they are shit after you spend 3 times as much points in them.

>>128904992
Well I have Rampage and Olerons chains, but not even the blueprints of the other two :^)
Got a bit distracted by trying Trickster, I mean holy fuck, dual blades + Savagery just annihilates stuff, I just have to get some defense, something like Blast shield from Demo.
Or Mirror from Arcanist, but wielding 2 maces without some lightning just wont feel right ... to be honest I dont even know if its worth it to split the damage between light, bleed and piercing.


>>128904156
>Metal Slug
True, I do miss Simon the Sorcerer, too and while those pixels werent the best, I will never understand what they tried to do with StS 3D I actually know, StS1 and 2 didnt sell well and 3D was "in" around that time, shame how that fucked the series.

>>128905938
Simon the Sorcerer is maximum comfy mode tho, just like the Discworld adventure game.

>>128902730
Highest lego I ever got on veteran was level 50, while on elite it was 68, and I've only seen level 75 legos on ultimate.

Places themselves are random, you could farm the same spot forever. Only specific lego drops I know of are Mogdrogen's Mantle, which drops from Avatar of Mogdrogen and Stormheart, which can be found in a vase in the Tomb of Korvaak

>>128905657
We should know each other quite well by now.
Open a game.

>>128905938
I have way too many Slaughter blueprints, but sadly no Reckoning one.

You're giving me the itch to go and make a Trickster myself now. I need to stop spending my time here and go play Dragon's Dogma instead.

>>128906443
room - nice guys
pw - gdg

I don't have very much time though, so if you go to find the game in 5-10 minutes and its not up I probably had to peace out

>I have way too many Slaughter blueprints, but sadly no Reckoning one.
Its alright man, half of the fun comes from farming, but while I can take quite some damage with the Blademaster ... its so damn slow, but I found the same hammer you use, couldnt identify the procc mechanic though, so I dont know if that thing is worth it.


>Dragon's Dogma
I just couldnt enjoy it, I hoped it would be like Arx Fatalis, mediocre graphics but amazing world and mechanics, the only thing that was nice in DD is the grabbing mechanic.

>>128906443
I just killed Moggy and he didn't drop a lego. Very nice shoulders, though. Maybe it wasn't lego because I did it on normal, but fuck doing it on Elite or Ultimate lol.

>>128909494
I have already summoned him and got raped, I was like lvl 40 or something, now i'm lvl 67, is he still there?

>>128908372
>I found the same hammer you use
I've tried it out because I saw some people in one of the earlier threads recommend it.
I also didn't notice the proc, so either it's bugged or it is just extra shitty.

>I just couldnt enjoy it
I only did the tutorial so far, got stuck on the character creator far too long. I got it with expectations of it being a 6~7/10 game, good but flawed. I'll probably not be disappointed as you.

>there will never be another Arx Fatalis
>there have been 4 FNAF games in less than a year

>>128909494
They changed it in the last hotfix or build. He doesn't drop it anymore on normal/veteran.

>>128909742
Yes, he will still be there, you can talk with him and try it again.

>lightning aura is the only item based damage aura that can't be put on melee weapons, only on guns

fucking why?

every other ward/damage aura from items is in a component that can be applied to melee or ranged weapons.

lightning aura should be on the amber component not hells bane ammo

Doesn't work for everything but it can reset mastery points.
