Hey Folks,
I just started the game. I am very familiar with D3 but not with other arpg’s.
I have been told to make sure you have some kind of goals in the game like using particular builds.
My question is now. What builds are viable at this moment and are easy to understand for someone who is new to Grim Dawn.
All help is appreciated!
Greetings Boghir
There’s a logical inconsistency in this sentence…
There are lots of viable builds. I could throw out builds for you to follow but I think it important that you have a style/theme/damage type that you like as you could be playing it for a lot of hours. Do you have any preferences?
Could you help me out or not?
I am currently playing Demolitionist. I prefer fire and explosions lol.
Seriously though, just wait for FG and then pick Warlord and go for physical damage. Can’t go wrong.
Note: Unlike D3 there are literally thousands of viable builds in GD. If you narrow down your specifications, maybe describe the kind of build you wanna play, then many ppl here would love to point you in the right direction.
Pick inquisitor as your second and go for two guns. That’s one of the most straightforward builds in GD.
BTW, what made you stop playing D3?
Demo is combine well with Inquisitor,especially for dual pistols.Take Fire strike line and inq wps skills,aura of censure,mines,seal,words of renewal.In devos you can get meteor shower:cool:.In new expansion Oathkeeper will be viable option also.
So basicly I can make whatever I want and it could be viable? Just alot of experimenting I guess? how about devotion points then. Heard that those points are hard to get back?
What would be your advice? Just experiment or follow a build?
Hey! Welcome to the forums!
I would suggest checking out the forum’s build compendium: http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79419
There are build guides ranging from ‘easy to build’ to the tippy top of the very best.
As for what you want to do, it really depends on whether you’re a filthy casual, or a no-lifer min/maxer 
EDIT: I would personally spend some time reading the mechanics, and asking questions to clarify my doubts. For me, the fun lies in crafting builds, not so much playing the game. :rolleyes:
But I understand this isn’t for everyone.
It’s your decision,devotion points are easy to reset elwith aether crystals,later you have potion for full res.You can check in forums build Purifier Annie for heads up and ideas,but you should adapt depending what items you have.Just remember to take skills I wrote,cause they are necessary.
A bit of planing your build in https://www.grimtools.com/calc/ is a good idea to make decent build.
At the very least I’d recommend picking out some gear you’re interested so you can make sure that you hit the min stat requirements to equip it.
EDIT: also we shouldn’t assume he has AoM
There’s an excellent thread here http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=74454 that will answer many of your purifier questions. Besides, visit many threads and ask questions. GD veterans got OCD when it comes to explaining GD stuff.
Thank you all for your answers I will study the links you guys provided!
Really amazing community
Also, if you are into pets, then try a pet build.
I still don’t know what I am doing in the crucible and come out just fine, so definitely works for noobs
