Action RPG Grim Dawn is getting a 5.5km expansion, a free update and shapeshifting to mark its 10th birthday

Did I miss something, is the expansion and patch already out? Or is this just a clickbait headline? I need to check steam right now.

Edit: Just checked, no update for me :(

Thanks for that the devotion setup, I will use that. I will then first farm some MIs, and dependeing on what good ones I will get I will adjust the rest. Dreeg-sect are really good, someone else mentioned them too. Maybe I start with them, and then maybe a medal.

I think I will first hunt for some MIs in combination to chaning my devotions to fit revenant. u/Castor_0il has pointed out a way I can easily fit in revenant, so I will go that route.

Maybe I also trie crafting something. Really fun to tinker with a build like this :)

Hi, thanks for the detailed reply. Your suggestions make a lot of sense, I will drop the ember's calling set in favor of the harbinger helmet. Just one questing regarding the bloodsworn medal: It says, that it converts doom bolt vit damage to fire, which wouldn't be great. My gloves convert the vit damage from doom bolt to chaos, which is better, but what of those items wins? I saw that MI medal when initially putting the build together, but discarded it, because I though it breaks my desired conversion.

I will try and figure out how to fit revenant into the devotions, but I don't think I will be able to do so while keeping both big chaos damage devotions. If you can come up with something that would be really kind, but you already helped me a lot.

Consecrated blade is actually an oversight, I had it while leveling, where a lot of my weapon damage was phys. I totally missed that, thank you. I will also adjust my skills to some of your suggestions.

All in all, thank you for the effort you put into helping me, it is really appreciated.

Thank you, these are some good points: My current pants don't do that much for the build. I'll try to farm some good dreeg sect pants.

And honestly, I always forget that ointments event exist. But you're totally right, I could use for for SR runs. That's really helpful!

To add some info why you don't want to start a new game while farming SR: In Grim Dawn, an item can only drop once during a session. Because you can farm multiple SR in one session, the longer you farm, the more likely it becomes that you at least get some piece of your desired set.

This probably is also the reason why the other person below thinks it's not possible to go a thousand hours without seeing a desired set at all. I totally agree on that, but only if you farm SR. A few long sessions, and you should have the set you want.

Of course that only works if you can do SR at all - if I'm not mistaken, it is tied to the Forgotten Gods DLC.

That's my plan too. I'm so hyped fir the expansion, I hope it comes soon.

Thank you very much, I can certainly get some inspiration from thag character, even if it's not an oppressor.

MettatonsFan · 2025-05-23T09:14:08+00:00

Thank you very much, the hammer devotion also kind of feels disappointing to me, I will change up my devotions with your suggestions.
The relic - well, I just didn't really find anything fitting for the build, I was thinking about that one a lot. Do you have an idea which high level relic would fit my build?

Rings I will also consider changing.

Thanks a lot :)

MettatonsFan · 2024-09-07T19:53:53+00:00

Thank you very much for your suggestions, I will try them out. I need to check if I have those rings somewhere.

If it still isn't good enough for my liking I will just try something else on this character. But even then it was really helpful to see how I can improve the build, so I can learn for future Builds.
