After watching half of Shadowstrike Skip Guide - Grim Dawn ZIPPING - YouTube by @RektbyProtoss and Eluminator
I’d love to make some build guide with hard to get MIs and use this technique to farm them.
Hello Nery, thank you so much for all your work. It is possible for you to reshare the " [Advanced mechanics guide by Nery et. al. ]? It’s seems to me that it’s down, maybe I’m mistaken.

Check THIS link if it’s working for you. Mind that the guide wasn’t completed and it’s pretty old.

Sounds like it needs to be completed then.

What do you think of this format of build entries: Build Compendium for Mods ?
For me it’s more readable but it is a bit rough and lacks the flow the current one has.
- Keep current format
- Move to new format

Usually, old ways are complex to break due to habits but by the looks of it, I prefer the new style.

I skip the vote as I can live with both - and you would have the work to do for the change

The poll is closed. Since 5 were for the changes and 3 against, I reformatted the OP.
I also changed the color of links from the default one as it’s not very readable and blends with the background.
Also colors of damage types because I’ve never liked those chosen by Ulvar.

I’m going to slowly add game version entry for every build and builds in tables are going to be sorted in a decreasing order
(PM me if you update your build, its game version changes and you’d like it to be updated)
Than you should likely make the “patches - still viable” point more prominent - as the builds here age much better than top performers (and if a build is updated - the question is if only the final build was updated or the complete leveling was repeated - and how to mark the difference as the title likely will have in both case the later game version? [:dunno:])
for me it’s enough if you keep up with the game and if there’s some change, mention it in the guide and just update the Grim Tools link [edit] or even just the thread title. You can edit your recommended budget char manually as far as I’m concerned (and maybe put the link earlier so that GT Parser updates it [or does it not look at it just in the title?]) - or add a new one that’s more up to date
I’ve changed sections somewhat because the previous ones were a bit all over the place. I think the current ones should be more useful and readable. Also a few builds were in wrong sections.
