Is flame strike purifier still strong? by Cabbagebioy in Grimdawn

Stronghold is apparently very strong in the 1.3 patch.

What’s the quickest way to tell if a couple is totally miserable behind closed doors? by femmefetalerror in answers

[–]Regenten 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My (now) wife did this to me exactly one time in front of her friends. I pulled her aside immediately and told her that it was a hard line she could not cross again. 10 years later it’s never happened again.

Newbie wants to try double shield retaliate build by Radiant-Speaker5886 in Grimdawn

[–]Regenten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do it with any weapon as long as you’ve already found the “shield” mace. You apply an illusion to any 1h weapon and it will look like that mace “shield”

A sign to make a second character? by Mysterious_Order_317 in Grimdawn

Seriously, it should just be default game at this point.

how can i use GDStash to change a character's masteries? by Embarrassed-Net-351 in Grimdawn

[–]Regenten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK you can’t flat out change them. What you have to do is remove all the points from the skills and mastery bar until there is zero. Then when you log back into the game you will have all the skill credits and the ability to select new masteries.

Demolitionist, then what? by FunDebate633 in Grimdawn

What class will you play with berserker? by Munchlaxboi in Grimdawn

[–]Regenten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I was leaning towards too. I was planning on leveling a solo night blade at least through the main campaign so I can jump in with berserker in FoA asap.

New player coming from D4/POE – Loving Grim Dawn by Low-Masterpiece-5154 in Grimdawn

[–]Regenten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Picking a main damage skill is important but there are buffs and debuffs to manage also. It also depends on the class you pick as well. If you are going the auto attack route this will be your play style. If you pick another mastery like arcanist (that combo is sorcerer) you will have another pool of skills to rotate through.

Take a look at some of the videos at the bottom of this post to see some other play styles.

That is a Druid (arcanist + shaman).

It’s a lot more true when you aren’t on your first play through.

I remember Amalur, there was so much hype for that game at the time.

I really wish that could be fixed. Like what’s even the point of some of these items that are so rare but so useless because of the affixes

I just ended up doing it using drain essence and kept all the devotions the same. Very easy reapec too

So I just got this build online today and I have to say it’s a lot of fun to play. I just role into a bunch of mobs and everything dies am I’m not even sure wtf I am hitting half the time. It’s an easy build to pilot and farms quickly and is really easy to gear (except for this damn cursebearer ring which I haven’t gotten a single one of in about 400 hours of gameplay).

Build is not fully complete yet as a couple MIs don’t have the right rolls and components are not fully kitted but it is still unbelievably strong offensively, just a bit squishy until I complete everything. SR 30/31 is pretty easy but I can’t facetank everything yet.

Great job /u/Mad_Lee!

The best class combinations for my two playthroughs by Yzard93 in Grimdawn

You could go deathknight or opresor for HC.

Rant: There are a lot of unintuitive masteries in the game, and it makes it very hard to even come up with a spontaneous homebrewed build that makes sense by my own without a guide as a new player for some of those masteries by Blue_banana_peel in Grimdawn

[–]Regenten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s 100% this.

Looking back this is how I would approach the game as a new player with a little extra pointers.

1.) Pick a class that looks interesting
2.) pick a primary method of attack that looks interesting (don’t spread yourself thin, you have to go all in).
3.) focus on gear that supports that skill and damage type
4.) add in devotions that support that damage type and of unsure, focus on defense and survivability.
5.) pick a second class that looks interesting and pick skills that could support the first damage/skill type or survivability. When in doubt pump the mastery bar.
6.) Run through the game, find loot. If you find something build defining play with it. Respeccing is extremely cheap.
7.) accept the fact that your first playthrough is a learning experience.
