Grim Dawn does a lot of things right, but one of those things is not Port Valbury. What an awful, awful slog.

Stokes posted:Grim Dawn does a lot of things right, but one of those things is not Port Valbury. What an awful, awful slog. I do think it's because they mostly listen to people on their forums who have end-game characters who can't really be touched by much. Still, they might go back and fix it - when they first released the Loghorrean fight, it was a lot harder than any previous fights, so they made some changes to the fight on Normal/Veteran. I'm hopeful they'll do the same for Valbury.

What are good skills/constellations to go with a fire strike/explosive strike/brimstone setup where you shoot people with a gun? Are thermite mines/mortar trap worth grabbing for support since they use the same damage type? Was thinking arcanist for iskandra's, with mirror of ereoctes and flash freeze for survivability. But occultist has some pretty useful stuff for this setup too. Kraken and hydra look like the big constellations to work toward, but I'm not sure what other ones to hit.

Arcanist is good for defense, Occultist for offense, as I understand it. Thermite Mines are great for that build since they reduce Fire, Lightning and Chaos resistance. I'd also pick up Solael's Witchfire since that reduces Fire and Chaos, and you can put it on Flashbang.

This is a nice change coming in the expansion: http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52039 Exactly what the game needs, I think. Now they just need to add weapon damage ratios to most skills so things scale properly.

I just bought this game and tried out a few classes. From what I understand, the best way to decide on a build is to just pick 1 or 2 skills from any class that look interesting and then only focusing on those, right? Because spreading points out seems like a bad idea with how many skill upgrades there are. Also, holy gently caress; I tried a shaman and Savagery gives me +600% weapon damage at level 1 as soon as I attack 6 times? And Primal Strike just straight-up clears all trash mobs around me in one hit.

My Lightning Druid is still getting used to Ultimate, and I just ran into a pack of 5 Hero Rifthounds in a cave. Bleeding, Poison, Fire and two Physicals. Fuuuuuuck.

Rifthound heroes have a real propensity for spawning in groups of 3-5, I almost never see that with other enemy types.

The first hit gives a 30% bonus, The second 50%.

There's no Beast faction, so I figure they're just able to spawn with multiple guys like that more often than Aetherials or the Undead would at the start. Might be wrong though.

I actually see groups of 2-3 hero enemies in most factions from time to time. They seem to be a bit weaker than usual individually when they're in a group, but maybe I'm imagining that.

There is a beast faction. It's hidden in-game but you can see that it exists with any sort of memory viewer.

Picking this back up in anticipation of the expansion. What's a good DW build for someone starting fresh? My past characters have all been pretty 2H melee-centric, and I'm looking for a change. Is Nightblade a requirement for effective dual-wielding? EDIT: Originally asked for ranged builds, but then saw the Inquisitor and decided to wait on that.

Devorum posted:Is dual wielding pistols always better than using a rifle? Is Demo a required class for gun builds? Dual wielding pistols is actually not better due to the game's mechanics. Gunslingers aren't meant to be stationary yet you can't move and shoot, so it's difficult to make use of the pistols' DPS advantage. Rifles are slower but hit much harder. That's not to say DW pistols are bad. On the contrary, you can easily finish Ultimate with a gunslinger if that's what you want to play. Rifles just make more sense if you're playing solo.

I just logged into Steam and apparently Grim Dawn is -50% off. If you haven't checked this game out, I can think of worse things to spend 12 bucks on.

Might pull a few points out of Hellfire to go harder into CoF/Vulnerability or something. Also debating between Bat and Fiend; Bat's ability is nice for some passive healing/damage, but Fiend probably does more for me in stats.

drat, I'd forgotten just how much more synergy the Grim Dawn masteries have with each other compared to the Titan Quest masteries. Lots of combination ideas come out when looking at the GD skill trees, but the TQ trees just don't feel like they blend much at all, with a few exceptions.

At the risk of being a double-posting jerk in addition to possibly rehashing a discussion from a while ago: What towers are folks using in The Crucible? I'm guessing it'll vary by character type, but I'm having a hard time thinking of something better than just stacking the hell out of lightning towers for the resistance debuff with ranged characters and substituting in a defense tower to turtle onto for melee. Although given the lethality of ground-effect stuff in GD, I'm guessing I'd want to stay pretty mobile even as melee and it seems like the aura range on the buff towers is drat small. I could kinda see the point of doing cold towers to space out the timing of mobs getting into my killzone or for kiting around nasty single-targets, but that's about it.

Yawgmoth posted:Yeah I typically go 4x stonewall just because more defense is never bad. Can someone post what the various banners/archmage buffs do? I can never fully remember and of course the game has to be vague as poo poo about it. bam Also, given that defenses are only temporary and aren't saved per map (I checked), they're probably only useful when you're doing a pretty long crucible run rather than just like,one for 30 minutes tops. Which is a bummer, since that's about all I've got these days for play-time and have spent so damned many tributes that way. Dr_Gee fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Mar 29, 2017 |

That is also not how Savagery works. (The following also applies to Beronath's Fury and Mistborn Talisman) The skill has three aspects: %weapon damage, all other built in flat damage, and other buffs (OA/DA). The buffs and the %weapon damage apply at 100% of their listed value from the first hit and don't increase with stacks. The flat damage scales with the listed steps. This means that for all intents and purposes, the charges can be ignored and Savagery does its primary job (insane %weapon damage) from the first hit.
