Hello mate, I am about to start this game for the first time and am new to this game genre. Is there any starting build that you would suggest for a scrub like me. Preferably something visually interesting with good damage and survivability.
@@CaledonianCraftthat game is about you can build whatever you want it will work on normal diff if you get better then in elite too focus on 1 max 2 dmg spells
Started playing this one on winter holidays in 2023. Bought expansions week ago. I will finish it after PoE Necropolis, if LE doesn't have anything solid to offer. What a time to be alive. Future is bright.
You joke about "stinky bum" but there is an item in-game that....well I won't spoil it but it was a nice touch on the part of the Devs. EDIT You found them, I was taken aback by the beautiful immaturity of that item. One of Grim Dawn's strongest aspects is the variety of viable builds, this was also true of Titan Quest (which is worth dipping back to as well).
Not true for veteran/ultimate difficulty tho. I don't suggest new players to gd pick that mode.Veteran boost mob health/damage massively, and you actually want competent build and as much power/survivability as you can to combat boosted damage/health of enemies. While you can maybe power through vet without coherent build, it's going to be boring slog.Ultimate after act one stop holding back completely and without 80% resists + decent healthpool/DA you just going to die to cronley gang. To check if you ready for ultimate i would suggest trying to kill bosses in bandit arena of act 2(ultimate). They are surprisingly strong and they are actually copies of famous GD players and their builds. You don't need build to beat normal, that is actually true. Fairly sure you can just clear base game with abilities from components/gear. Veteran boosts enemy health to like elite/ultimate levels, so fireball component going to lose it's power very fast...Don't think Veteran is even worth it, despite 10% xp boost/more elites spawns.
@@SapFeaRon hmm I finished the base game on ultimate with a lvl 93 pyromancer. I didnt follow any build. I just took the Items I thought are good and tried to push my resis. It wasnt even hard. The only annoying thing was the one shots from these fat butcher guys.
I feel like Grim Dawn is really one of the real hidden gems out there. I do not play it all the time but it is definitely something I go back to on occasion and I recommend it to anyone that likes ARPGs
Some one help me with some nutty broken build combos first timer here and been thru evey class nothing sticks for me jsut feels like it’s all missing something.. I wil say the occultists was fun and inquisitor word of pain but it falls off so hard around lvl 40 ish and I give up what am I missing ?
Fighting reanimator at level 5 is not as difficult as this Not a good idea at level 4. More likely to not get that far till level 6. By level 5, you should have components. Stick a level 5 component into your green weapon that will give a powerful spell for that level.
This is a game I return to from time to time. Still one of the best ARPG in this day and age despite it being 7-ish years old.
It is an absolute gem, the sense of progression is intoxicating.
It is the best aRPG still. I have to play Last Epoch to see how it stacks up, but it is a high bar to clear.
Last epoch not as good@@LordJaroh
I bought this game back in 2020 and didn't start it until 2022. This is the diablo killer
the best ARPG of all time so far
Completely agree. Best arpg of all times.
Spent 2k+ hours and accomplished 100% achievements. Waiting for the next expansion !
Ole Reliable

Been playing since 2016 on my all in one pc until 2019 I decided to build my ow gaming PC and I still go back to this game.

Are you talking about the Soiled Trousers? Lol it allows you to throw turds!
Cauldron is a fun one too
Edit: and all the "southpaw" shields too
I bought this on release. It remains the best aRPG I have played. I still need to play Last Epoch, though. I am anticipating the expansion though.
Quick Sidenote. Dont even bother about your build before hitting lvl 94 or even 100.
Just play the game how you want and how you get the items.

This is a fun game, will be coming back soon.

I really enjoy the commentary.
50 hours in level 39. Yep nice and slow, loads of exploring 😃
Ragdoll physx is insane
Been that way since Titan Quest which is what this engine was built on top of.

Trust in the bird (it is the word)
Have you tried the League yet? You've got 69 days left in season 7 as of this comment. Check out the mods section in the official forum.
Super fun game.

It was a bit of a slog.
