Thanks for adding my Ritualist, didnā€™t notice youā€™re still active :slightly_smiling_face:

Also I seems to miss some of the other builds, including your one Infiltrator with Chillstrifes, which is obviously cool.

I wasnā€™t active for a few months.

Tell me which are missing and Iā€™ll add them. Instead of your Chillstrifeā€™s guide thereā€™s leveling for it in the Compendium: [1.1.2.5] DW cold Infiltrator for beginners-build diary so I think Iā€™ll change it to your Chillstrife guide and players will be able to find leveling from there

Or maybe Iā€™ll check your compendium. [edit] Nah, all your builds are in compendium.

Maybe you meant my Spectral Longsword caster Infi ā†’ itā€™s in the compendium. I put it in Melee Hybrid but after remembering what this category is about (melee AA + other things), I moved it to Cooldown Caster. Although itā€™s Cooldown Caster (Roh) + Melee (Shadow Strike and fight in melee range) + Spam Caster (Chillspikes) hybrid because all these skills deal good damage but RoH is the focus and most damage I suppose.

No, no I just meant that Iā€™ve missed the builds you added in last update. For instance I havenā€™t saw before your Infiltrator guide and it serves better purpose than my own, which is pretty old.

After watching half of Shadowstrike Skip Guide - Grim Dawn ZIPPING - YouTube by @RektbyProtoss and Eluminator
Iā€™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. ]? Itā€™s seems to me that itā€™s down, maybe Iā€™m mistaken.

Check THIS link if itā€™s working for you. Mind that the guide wasnā€™t completed and itā€™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 itā€™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 :slight_smile:

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 itā€™s not very readable and blends with the background.
Also colors of damage types because Iā€™ve never liked those chosen by Ulvar.

Also wanted to change usernames to links to their profiles but

Iā€™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 youā€™d like it to be updated)

148

Than you should likely make the ā€œpatches - still viableā€ 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:])

149

for me itā€™s enough if you keep up with the game and if thereā€™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 Iā€™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 thatā€™s more up to date

Iā€™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.
