I think it's dying Edition

>What is Grim Dawn
Grim Dawn is an ARPG made by a few left over developers from Iron Lore Entertainment who also made Titan Quest along with a few other devs including one D1/D2 designer. Currently you can't really pirate it because it breaks NPCS and quests (custom DRM I'm guessing) but there is a DRM free version planned for launch.

>What are some features
Dual Class System
Faction-Based Questing
Refined Loot Drops
300+ Hero Monsters
Destructible Environments
Dynamic Weather
Recipe-Based Crafting
Modding Tools (Future)
DRM Free Version (At launch in February 2016)
Survival Mode (think endless dungeon) (for all backers)

2handed Warder with high resists in Elite. How the fuck does melee deal with the constant stun/freeze/snare bullshit. I expected to die pushing my first toon through elite but this sucks.

I see Frozen Hearts I can put on jewelery and I have a few points in Decorated Soldier but is there gear/sets/legendaries that stop the constant CC bullshit, not that Ill ever fucking find anything for my spec.

Maiven's was nerfed (read: made less blatantly OP, it's still good). That's about it for the Arcanist as far as nerfs go. It got some cool new changes via two new exlusive passive auras. One boosts Aether%, Fire%, Converts Physical to Aether% and Cast Speed%. The other one is similar but for Cold%, Lightning% and reduces cooldown%.

> How the fuck does melee deal with the constant stun/freeze/snare

By getting stun resist? Stun resist works for stuns and freezes, nor sure about snare. The resist% is actually how much of the duration it reduces, so it's very good to have capped out if you play melee.

> Anonymous 01/19/16(Tue)23:50:29 No.129183000 ▶

empty throne constellation provides some good resists including 15% stun resist. since you're warder, put points into scars of battle on soldier mastery (it provides stun, freeze, bleed resist, and increased armor absorbtion)

rest from gear

I'm glad you got a good response.

what was your suggestion that got changed?

Some shit about Pet AI being dog-shit in Log'. It's still sort-of retarded because Pet AI in general is mediocre (with hitboxes being shitty too) but basically I learned that you simply don't use the "force pet attack" skill and there'll be 1-2 pets attacking Log' while the others kill adds.

I like the game, mostly because I was a fan of TQ (with Underlord it's one of my favourite games), seems to me like the devs tried to improve on things that didn't work too well in TQ and added a bunch of stuff you would expect from a mod, without really getting over the line and maybe fucking up just a thing or two.

As a casual player, who started nearly a month ago, but due to work etc. is only getting to the end of act 4 on veteran difficulty, I hope Crate won't pander exclusively to people who post on their forums and to lessen extent 'oldfags' who inhabit this general, otherwise barely anyone new will pick up and stay with the game once it's finally released, because the early parts of the game could use some polish and we won't get that if the devs focus too much on the content for players with multiple lv 70+ characters.
>>
>>129186401
The people who are doing the majority of the play testing for the game are doing it via unlegit means i.e using gear that is otherwise unobtainable unless you have some 500 hours put into the game or are touched by RNGesus.

Regardless, Crate is scaling the games difficulty down despite their whining that the game is too easy (no shit if you cheat the best gear for yourself), so you can remain hopeful that Crate listens to the public opinion as a whole rather than a group of few specific people.
>>
>>129185949
The pet AI is a pile of shit. I only use force attack if I'm being beelined by specific enemies who'se AI ignore my pets, otherwise I just let them do what they do.

I don't have any specific posts yet, the last time I posted there was when they were introducing the new faction system and expressing my disappointment that I wasn't getting the game I was sold in their Kickstarter videos.

You need to hoard up all the OA% and defensive procs from the devotions for Ultimate to work.

>>
>>129192474
Yeah, ok. When you get to Ultimate you'll see what it's like. The amount of viable builds plummets and the only way to do Ultimate in any sane way is to do as >>129192514 says. Basically everyone picks the same devotions regardless of their build, because some of them are just that good and important to the point that they are mandatory. The only way to fix this is to nerf the difficutly levels, which is going to happen. Crate said that this isn't how the game is supposed to be.
>>
>>129192514
Cheers, I'll try tweaking my build. Hopefully I can at least crawl my way through ultimate at the very least.
>>
>>129193259
Scales, Tortoise, Viper, Chariot of the Dead and Empty Throne are popular picks.

If you have some good gear saved up for the build, you can go Witch Hunter, if you don't Blademaster is probably better. My first acid/poison dual-wielder was a Blademaster, but with the changes to Occultist last patch I felt I had to give Witch Hunter a try too. Witch Hunter might have the edge on damage and healing, but the Blademaster is noticably tankier while still dealing insane damage.

Blademaster: http://grimcalc.com/build/9dDGN2
Witch Hunter: http://grimcalc.com/build/dRE6Ks
Not taking +skills into account, which is why it says I have too many skill points spent.

Devotion constellations:
Scorpion Sting on Belgothian Shears
Guardian's Gaze on Amarasta's Quick Cut
Acid Spray on Beronath's Fury
Abominable Might on Execution
Tainted Eruption on Whirling Death
Fetid Pool
Giant's Blood & Wayward Soul for some healing

Honestly, going more defensive would probably be better, but I enjoy all the procs and I'm not dying too often anyways, mostly thanks to good gear. If you don't have that available, going more defensive is probably a good idea.

There's a bunch of good poison/acid weapons, but I roll with Venomlash and Plaguebearer of Dreeg. Open Hand of Mercy is an amazing ring, Lifegiver's Signet or Ring of the Matriarch is fine too. Thorn Girdle of the Misty Glade has a nice proc. Mark of the Apostate has an insane proc that reliably confuses enemies. Malediction BiS relic, Zeal will do.

Insane single target dps paired with lots of AoE procs, great fun.

B-but why, anon? Other thread died before he replied. Plus the build is great fun and others have asked for it before. :^)

>>129194335
Id say behemoth and chariot are the two most popular picks, basically essential
Throne, viper and falcon? Are the ones that get you those two, so they are also essential picks
>>
>>129194353
I tried rolling a melee poison witchhunter but its really weak early game. Basically devotions and items make the build work from stacking poison procs as well as getting an array of skills that synergise to make poison useful.
I ended getting bored around lvl 16 and just went back to other witchhunter which is a chaos/vit pb spammer which is super strong early game
>>
if thread got bump limit (750 posts) she didn't died
>>
>>129195564
The build doesn't really take off until you have 5 points into the first 3 DW-procs, NHH maxed and a chunk of points into Night's Chill and Pneumatic Burst for survivability. It also makes a big difference if you have a Mistborn Talisman so that you can put Acid Spray on your autoattack.
>>
>>129196962
>maxing AQC chance proc
Is it just to have more poison stacking? The skill itself doesnt seem to have much contribution other than more dw atks
>>
>>129197160
NHH makes AQC do a shitload of damage. Also, if you have Acid Spary on your autoattack, ACQ helps proc that more often.
>>
>>129194901
Yeah, but Throne has good resists and viper has a nice amount of OA%, resists, and a badass -25% elemental resist debuff, if your character does any of that damage. Throne and Viper are first tier devotion picks but overwhelmingly good ones at that when compared to many other devotions of the same tier.
>>
What's the verdict on Tenacity of the Boar? Seems kinda shitty to me.
>>
>>129197752
>mfw caster
>viper debuff procs but doesnt do shit because of weapon% modifier
>>
>>129198330
Honestly, the entire Savagery-tree is a waste if you can craft Shard of Beronath. Saves you a ton of skill points without sacrificing much, if any, dps.

Tenacity of the Boar is good if you're lacking in OA, I guess.
>>
>>129198903
I'm using Savagery to boost my Bleed damage than then unleash my Bleed/Vitality damage via spells so I'm not sure if a Shard of Beronath would be useful for my setup.
>>
>>129199064
If you only use savagery for some measly % bleeding damage, you're better off dropping it completely and spending those points elsewhere.

Link build?
>>
>>129194353

How useful is Execution to the build? Wouldn't you be better off using all those extra points in Frailty/Vulnerability, merceless rep, or nidalla's justifiable ends?
>>
>>129200390
CoF/Vulnerability is just overkill, everything dies so quick I just don't need it. Execution does great damage on its own, while applying a pretty big DoT because of the 350% weapon damage. Also, since I'm reducing resistances like crazy, the % life reduction on Execution hits like a truck. As for Merciless Repertoire, I already have pretty huge acid/poison %, and adding more does almost nothing for my damage output. I'd like to put more points into NJE, if only for the CD reduction, but I can't really justify moving them from Execution.

half the class is pets, so if you're not doing that thats half the class wasted. all the other skills are pretty disjointed and are only useful for other masteries to steal.

Ill agree that it really lacks a default attack skill and therefore is trash on its own
Other than that its not bad

Are there any cool fire/chaos dual gun demolitionist builds? I saw one of those in /gdg/ a week or so ago.

I couldn't find anything better for the longest time. Good thing they have faction vendors.
>>
>>129292645
Pyromancers are a good combo, you could make a Solael's Witchfire Firestrike build doing chaos/fire/vit with a ton of life leech

>>129292792
they are god tier I cant find the legendary rings I want anywhere

i dont habeeb. bosses wil lieterally one shot you in ulti
>>
>>129293459
Yeah, I don't see ulti being that great with this character. My DEE Occultist with Possession and Maivens, 2000+ more HP and better resists still gets slapped around quite badly if the enemy gets a hit on me. Some bosses are flat out impossible for me like Moosilauke because they just one shot me. I suppose the survi isn't much of an issue vs trash with DPS like that, but anything that wont die within a few seconds will be a problem.

Oh you're one of those scrubcore.
>>
>>129271710
It's a mess of game styles and damage types, and the class' skills don't synergize with each other at all.

It should have been split in two masteries instead of being the game's thrashcan where you throw all the shit you can't put anywhere else.
>>
>>129271710

Remove the pet junk and make that a separate class, replace the pet stuff with more chaos/poison content and there you go.

You'd also have to add heavy chaos related armor for the 65 -75+ brackets instead of forcing witchblades to wear physical oriented or caster gear.

Well I just lost my lvl 67 HC elite Witchblade ... against a fucking archmage boss. Aether is a fucking bitch, there is absolutely no component that gives protection against it.

I will never play in ultimate...

Since Firestrike deals a mix of Fire/Chaos/Physical damage should i go for Spirit or Cunning?
>>
>>129307801

Physique
>>
>>129309198
But Physique only fags got BTFO this patch i heard. Besides how will i have enough Cunning for weapons

>tfw I fucked up and will never finfind that rifle again
>>
>>129307801
Definitely spirit.
If you're not sure see the difference in dps bonus when you add cunning or spirit.
Also get some item that convert physical to elemental/chaos dmg.
>>
>>129311039
But why would you spec into primal strike instead of fire strike if you use a ranged weapon
>>
What to pair up a PRM aether based build with? Nothing really stands out. I guess Occultist for the heal bird?
>>
Can any kind anon whip up a good physical blademaster build?
>>
>>129312348
Soldier is probably your best bet. Useful defensive passives and good stats from the mastery bar.
>>
>>129313576
Something along the lines of: http://grimcalc.com/build/AGbhZW would probably be a all right start. If you get some +skills you can take points out of some skills, giving you more room to try other stuff out (War Cry for defense, more points into Dual Blades for more piercing dmg maybe).

As for devotion you'll probably want Assassin's Mark on your autoattack, and go defensive with the rest of your points. Chariot of the Dead, Behemoth, Empty Throne, Crane, Tortoise and whatever. Hp-nodes from Targo the Builder. Dryad.

Good thing this isn't a HC character.
>>
>>129267468

what procs should I go for?

Haven't made an arcanist yet
>>
>>129311320
Because tenacity of the boar helps me survive im HC and primal strike add more dps at the highest charge which is almost always the case.
>>
>>129316578

nevermind PRM is pretty dumb

going savagery trickster
>>
>>129316578
It depends of the element(s) you're focusing on, but there are plenty of viable options. Aetherfire, Arcane Bomb, Acid Spray, Meteor Shower etc.
I haven't tried Elemental Storm and Elemental Seeker since the buffs and can't tell if they are good at the moment, but if they are they should be great on an elemental PRM build.
>>
>>129317810
the empowered version is literally a sorc weapon with +skills to arc/demo
it works better with sorc desu
>>
>>129319013

>PRM is pretty dumb

Until you put some points into it, attach a good, no cooldown constellation and get some nice proc items.
>>
>>129319896
Oh ok. I'm okay with going full 2H melee but I don't know of any good electricity/physique based weapon. And I don't mean electrocute, I want real flat dmg.
>>
>>129320245

Alvarick's Rebuke is the go-to for 2handed melee lightning.
>>
>>129320393
>>129320393
Thanks. Any pistols or rifle ? I don't want to spec chaos because every single one of my character deal chaos dmg and I'm bored of it.

Question:

Do devotion WPS procs, item granted WPS procs and skill tree WPS procs operate seperately or are the thrown all in the same pool where if I go over 100% I'm losing out?

Say if I'm making a savagery trickster and want to stack Belgothian's shears and as many other AOE WPS procs as I can what should I go for?

Am I wasting my time making this character because Benorath's Fury on a Blademaster is so much better? I'm not that far in the game and don't have that much stuff to twink characters out yet and waiting for the relics that grant that stuff sounds annoying.
>>
>>129323832
freakin procs, fryman
>>
whats the easiest faceroll facetank build in the game?
>>
>>129323832
When you reach 100% WPS proc chance and above, the procs get weighted based on the number of their respective level.

I don't know if devotion procs actually count as WPS though.
>>
>>129326095

>>129326257

Devotion skills can set off other procs on their own afaik
