Grim Dawn Classes, Skills and Builds

I’ve just started playing GD and picked this build for my first character. So far it’s pretty legit, but I have a few questions:

  1. I’m following your path for leveling mastery/class skills. I’ve gotten my Nightblade to NJE and have maxed that out. Do I want to go into Occultist now? I’ve been putting some points in Veil and Burst to make sure they’re sturdy enough for Veteran.

  2. What kind of weapons should I be looking at while leveling? Do I always want the highest DPS weapons I have, or should I look for daggers in particular, etc.

  3. I’m still a little unsure where to get my AOE from. Is there a talent or skill I need, other than the ones in the Dual Blades tier?

Sorry if I have asked stuff you’ve already covered! I’ve perused this at length but want to make sure I’m doing it right. Thanks!

while it’s unlikely the OP will answer to you, I can maybe help you a bit :

1- Begin to invest in occultist in order to reach Blood of Dreeg and its modifier Aspect of the Guardian, it will offer you a second regen buff and some resist/extra damage

2- Every weapon (dagger or sword) that do your main type of damage that is to say Acid&Poison,
for example, Slithtongue daggers are good at the beginning an you can drop them in Wightmire at each difficulty, there is also the Manticore Longsword from a Black Legion quest in Jagged Waste

3- You may want to put a Mark of Dreeg component on one of your weapons as the skill, Dreeg’s Infinite Gaze, offer a good AOE and good poison damage

hope that it helps you !

Yes thank you so much! That’s extremely helpful, I’m still pretty much a noob at this game.

I think I sold the Slithtongue I found sadly :frowning: Should I try to make weapons with acid or poison damage?
