I recently started playing Grim Dawn and have enjoyed the journey so far. Currently my character (commando) is level 61 and heading to Homestead. The build is completely self-made and was wondering if I’m taking the right path gear and skillwise. Below you will find a list of my gear and the build I have at the moment. All advice is welcome, thanks!
Don’t place more than 1-4 points in menhir’s, decorated soldier and scars of battle bonuses can be pretty easily bypassed by gear/components/augs, they don’t worth the investments unless you have a lot of spare points. This way you’ll free around 28 points you’ll invest in something useful.
Indeed, Forcewave just has too poor damage. AoE is awesome, but damage is lackluster. Not to mention high energy consumption. You may discover, that Blade Arc is actually better, cause it has higher damage output while still killing packs pretty fast.
If you want to build upon “wave-like” skill, i’d rather suggested building around Obsidian Juggernaut. Its active skill deals pretty high damage due to shotgun, although drains insane amounts of energy.
Blade Arc was great for killing packs, although on mobs like Moose and Fabius, it took forever and a day to kill them, making the build less than optimal for my playstyle.
