Not sure if anyone else has noticed but it seems Vindictive Flame has FX changes now? Either that or I’m going blind as I swear my pulses were the normal orange last patch but every one is red (or blue depending on the order I equip items) now.
On ones that didn’t take up the helmet slot, I also had Gaze of Empyrion equipped for the larger range.
Like Titan Quest makes use of mastery shrines to boost pet skills, this helped mitigate way higher skill point demands for pet builds in Grim Dawn and still give your character a little attention. Now you have refocus all skills on your character which breaks pet usage. Please reconsider.
Just wanted to say thank you Crate for your continuous support. =) Awesome patch.
I was leveling an Avenger Warder, now with all the great regen buffs he’s up to 11k+ regen, 150k+ sheet with buffs and 3k + oa/da. I’m curious to see how high I can take him.
Some people were complaining about this trick being a thing IIRC.
Why should pet builds get special treatment in the skill point investment department when there are other builds that also suffer from skill point shortage? Seem pretty unfair for a build type to abuse a system that allows them to get more out of skill point investment than other builds types.
This was fixed because it was unintentional.
LA has been around since the beginning though. When was the last time it got buffed OR nerfed? Never? I’m not saying that it wasn’t OP, just that a nerf was hardly predictable for it.
Man, I wanna say this isn’t true, but I legitimately don’t remember what was there before it.
Something called Lethal Gambit. At least that’s what the patch notes said.
At times like this I look back at the fandom wiki for an idea and I can’t even begin to fathom what the hell I’m looking at for old Lethal Assault.

From Misadventure #31. Seems Blade Trap used the current ABB icon
Looks like it worked like Explosive Strike from Fire Strike tree. So additional aoe damage for Lethal Assault duration
Yeah, it’s just amazing how much it’s changed compared to now is all. It’s a completely different skill enhancement.
Ok, I’ve now gone through all the new areas except for the East Marsh one and I gotta say. They’re really, really great. At first I was doubtful whether new areas were needed, GD already has one of the longest ARPG campaigns I’ve seen. But damn. They’re all so good and so distinct from the areas they connect to. The Coliseum offers interesting verticality for ranged characters to exploit and with its solid, paved surfaces is quite unlike anything you see in Arkovia. The final room of the Corrupted Tomb is GORGEOUS. The overworld areas seem surprisingly spacious, the Docks in particular. Just…great job on these, they are likely to become my favourite areas to explore when playing.
Gotta say though, they are BRUTAL to go through when levelling a character on Veteran. Monster Totems were already quite the challenge, usually way harder than most of the area they appear in. But Celestial Totem and some of these area bosses. Ouch. Rutnick’s Storm Spread close to one-shot my current character. Don’t even want to think what he’s like as melee.
HI guys,
quick question do u need to have all expanses to enjoy new locations? It showing me that game is updated but no access to new locations is available.
Thx in advance
Welcome to the forum. 
Yes, you need both expansions for the game to explore the new areas.
Can I share an opinion? Not that it matters, but it’s different than what I usually hear, so I’ll do it to balance things out.
I hope I don’t come off ungrateful. I still have hundreds of hours to spend in Grim…
There’s been a long running joke/request/rant about the bridge south of Devil’s Crossing. In fact there are entire threads about just this particular bridge. To finally find out what is on the other side is just a Devil’s Crossing landfill is a Crate troll of epic proportions. At least this is my take on it, I think it’s hilarious. Certainly new players may not get that but then new players will most likely find it right away and it’s a freebie you get at the very start of your journey.
A video of Old Grove was the very first released for the game back in 2010. Sadly, it was never used in the game.
However, it obviously caught players’ interest because being able to visit Old Grove has been asked for again and again over the years since. Now Crate have finally allowed us to. 
You do need to have the expansions and also to be L16 or higher otherwise the repair site won’t appear.
