First of all thank you for the update!
I have been messing around with the new d2 masteries and they are pretty cool.
It is a bummer that the itemization for them is not scaled well into grim dawn. Aside from missing an endgame tier of items there are many items with either underwhelming attributes (very similar to the original items) or very powerful attributes for the level they are unlocked.
What attacks are default attacks in D2 masteries?
More bugs with Druid. Summon grizzly is summoning invisible grizzlies that do not move/attack. The health bar is there but they are functionally nonexistant.
Is there a change log? Wondering what has been changed in Cataclysm. Should I respec before installing new patch?
I know the author is working on an update to better balance things, so we will see what that brings. I guess the difficulty here is how far do you want to stray from D2 and if you do, how much does it upset the purists.
Personally I’d say make it fit GD over staying true to D2, add affixes for regular gear, and skill modifiers etc. make it the best mod it can be, not the one truest to D2, but that is just me 
Not a detailled one, there should not be a need to respec, certainly not one to completely respec. Some skills now have a few less points to bring them in line with how many points main / support skills have in vanilla GD. So if you have a skill maxed, maybe deinvest the top 4 or 5 points.List is below:

Thanks that was my meaning. I remember reading earlier that that was being worked on, reducing the number of points required to max the skills. As far as deinvesting, that should be done before installing the patch, correct?
To be safe I’d say yes, not sure what happens to points over the maximum if you did it afterwards
Dawn of Masteries 0.9.9a released
Forgot to inject the .tex etc. files for D2 for which I had no source files, should fix the missing textures for item bitmaps, skill effects, etc.
Amazon: Cold Arrow, Fire Arrow, Jab, Power strike
Assassin: Tiger/Cobra/Phoenix strike, Fist of fire, Claws of thunder, Blades of ice
Barbarian: Double swing, Frenzy, Berserk (still not rework)
Druid: Feral rage, Fire claws, Fury, Hunger, Maul
Necromancer: Poison dagger
Paladin: Sacrifice, Zeal
Found a visual bug with Stormcrow Visage. The helmet doesn’t act as a piece of armor, it just floats directly besides the male character’s head.
This bug also causes visual artifacts when my character is frozen.
Gotta say love the new classes.I deleted all toons to start anew.Gonna build Assasin/nightblade full poison build and see how it goes.
Btw:Did you or any other mod change herioc spoils to not have a 100% drop rate?I don’t mind as i love this change a lot as it makes it more interesting.
Anyways keep up the good work can’t wait for the last 2 classes to be added 
I did not change the drop rates. The last two D2 masteries are already added but until 1.1.7.0 there is a limit of 51 mastery buttons being displayed, so you cannot see / select them
Can’t wait for 1.1.7.0 to drop!!
what classes do you reccomend for a 2handed gun build?
NCFF’s Skeleton AI so bad… they learn Bone Spike Burst but almost everytime only melee attack -_-…shit
and cannot shown their base damage stat. only show 1 damage (just bug ?)
and… Have you any plan for merge your mod + Shatter Affix mod ? or How to merge that ? I need but don’t know how to merge…
Hi there, I’ve started using this awesome mod. Could someone tell me how to use the tokens to get epics as i can’t figure it out. I have two tokens, have bought the items to get epic blacksmiths yet still can’t exchange tokens. Do I need a certain amount or to have learnt blue prints or what?
Cheers.
epic and legendary tokens can be used to basicly craft any epic/legendary in the game, in order to do this you have to buy the specific blacksmith from the devil’s crossing reputation vendor at friendly, this should be fairly easy to do and be unlocked when you kill the warden. legendary tokens will not drop untill level 50 as thats the level that legendary’s will start to drop in the main game hope this was of use to you and ill be happy to see if this did help
Do the tokens correspond to specific blacksmiths as I still can’t figure it out. Or does any epic blacksmith exchange any epic token
