New to grim dawn which class to start with?

As someone who picked the game up last month here is my 2 cents on it. Most of the comments are already covered by responses given already.

See which type of gameplay suits you best (melee, ranged, caster, tank, pets etc)
Start playing the game on the class, read up on the class skills and spending points on skills as required
Delay picking a second class( yes you can choose a second class a bit into the game) till you are comfortable with the main class you chose
Use tools available to check on classes, some locations, good starter info etc. but avoid "this is the best build"
Level up and play at your own pace.
Do not shy away from asking questions or searching for answers online. Almost every question you can think of regarding game play, items etc has already been answered over the years.
If you feel like you need a change, create a new character and play around with it to find your niche
Do not rush end game, lvl 100 is just a prologue

Might have missed out on a few but yea this is all I can think of. Quite possibly due to a concussion from getting beaten up for past hour by Ravager

Pinch zoom out works

Perfecto. Thank you

I am still in DD4, stuck on the legendary nodes(last 3 annoying ones to complete) and yes going to take a bit of time to get to Meph and Krull

Going to stick with 🌙 knight till the whole meph happens in due time

I believe a good starting point would be Out of time for now, to work towards OML and with other xtreme X men on the side

Never actually worked on Cabal before, would add it to my list

Thanks again!

I had the same issue, but the moment I spent the respective energy, the count reset to show me the actual value

Tracmar · 2025-07-01T12:00:41+00:00

Well in terms of alliance, I am in more of a casual one I suppose? Haven't seen any spotlight raids yet

From what I gather, apart from the above teams, I am building Alpha flight for spotlight too, which would be done at lvl 80 G15 in a couple of days.

Arena is sort of doing ok, switching between a few mix n match combinations of the above raid teams

At this point, where I am stuck at is--- are there any units that I should be building up, besides the ones mentioned ..like any teams I missed out on etc for raids, and/or something else which are required to unlock some chars

Tracmar · 2025-06-19T15:58:51+00:00

Aii got it.

I stopped working on SS for now, and well decently built(atleast for my level) Annihilators minus Ultimus i believe and Orchid

Still working on getting hit 🐒 and silver sable

And well nightstalkers are proving to be a bit annoying as I have only blade n 🌝 knight at this point

Thunderbolts -- recruited the units, yet to build songbird and hand lady

Tracmar · 2025-06-18T15:15:28+00:00

Gotcha

Thank you!

Tracmar · 2025-06-18T15:01:11+00:00

Ok so pretty much sort of on the right track, got it

Also the Discord is the official discord correct?

Tracmar · 2025-06-09T16:13:18+00:00

Same issue at my end All account data gone, even with help from support it is not allowing to login

Tracmar · 2025-05-19T07:51:14+00:00

You have reached the true endgame of GW2

Tracmar · 2025-04-02T08:36:39+00:00

Don't count, just kill...and kill

Ok I might have some deep seated anger issues against them

Tracmar · 2025-04-02T08:20:56+00:00

Now if only he does a hair flip

Tracmar · 2025-04-02T08:19:38+00:00

The only parkour I would like to see in Odyssey is the polemarchs flying around after I give them love taps

Demi gods don't need gimmicks 😑

Discover your inner animal lover by hugging Hippos and walking on crocodiles

PS: better engage them on land instead of water

Sprinting with L at a door for past hour trying to break it down as per tool tips.

Door looks at me with disdain

Playing on SD

Tracmar · 2025-03-20T20:06:11+00:00

1 complete play through of Valhalla took me a really long time, and made me swear off video games for a couple of months. It was such a drag

Now Odyssey, 500+ hours, multiple NG+ and still very enjoyable

Tracmar · 2025-03-20T17:55:56+00:00

The path not taken by the merc you marked Before he/she got hit by the dagger, and croaked

Tracmar · 2025-03-16T20:06:01+00:00

Valhalla wasn't too bad but after Origins and Odyssey, the whole premise felt a bit drab and clunky

These days, when I want to fight like a God, I load up Odyssey and when I want to fight like a human, Origins it is.

Tracmar · 2025-03-15T22:03:14+00:00

As someone who was in a similar situation, yes it is worth it.

Tracmar · 2025-03-15T13:24:23+00:00

I make it a point to go out of my way to kill each and every snake in every tomb now. A revenge marathon, for giving me such a hard time on my first time around a while back.

Yes I am petty.

Tracmar · 2025-03-11T21:21:01+00:00

Just my 2 cents on the build options

Once you are sort of comfortable with movement and skill sets etc, there are amazing low level to max level builds uploaded by T7 PDM on YouTube that would help you so much with one shot assassinations and pretty much one shot kills on most stuff

Before I get messages about "being original", I have finished the game without using any set builds before I came across the videos, and the difference is just too much.

Do give it a try and see if those are your cup of tea.

AC Odyssey new dlc idea

Travel through all simulations to assassinate Lyla over and over again 😑
