Grim Dawn Public Test Discussion

Sept 29th

A new build is coming posthaste to address a couple critical bugs:

  • duration refresh modifiers added in the last build for Blood of Dreeg etc. now work as intended
  • Weapon Pool wave skills (Avalanche and Shattering Smash), were dealing 2x as much damage as intended. This issue is now fixed and the abilities and their modifiers were rebalanced to compensate

In addition, further tuning to the Obsidian Swordsman has been made. The pet granted by his set should also be much quieter now.

Ascendant Mode and Crucible 171-200 tuning now emphasizes a reduction to Physical damage over other damage types.
