Grim Misadventure #114: A New Thing...

while i’m not such a big fan of the Necro than many of you, the mastery looks really cool to play with skills very different from what we have in store right now (like the Inquisitor by the way). i buy it !

as for the combo names beside Death Knight which looks obvious to me i find it very hard to figure it out :rolleyes:

I suppose, but it would be only for one mastery. So…yay? :undecided:

To me it seems clear the necromancer will side with the Order just for the best gear.

Not that Kymon’s Chosen are the most err… clean…so maybe…

I ain’t usually a fan of Necromancers, but I’ll definitely still be giving this guy a whirl or ten.

“Illusionist, your finest religious zealot costume, if you please.” ? :rolleyes:

Gotta keep to my word…

But you did some kind of necromancy with your game installation…

when having a back up of your files LOL

:p:p:D

I want this to be a versatile class, will we see the classic poison/bones skills? or it will come with just vampirism crap and summons, hope not.

So Necromancers are automatically hated by Kymon’s Chosen?

My guesses, based on how the masteries lore/looks/functions:

Reaper = Necro + Nightblade
Spellbinder = Necro + Arcanist
Ritualist = Necro + Shaman
Cabalist = Necro + Occultist
Death Knight = Necro + Soldier
Apostate = Necro + Inquisitor
Defiler = Necro + Demolitionist

EDIT: Someone already made a guess list, and his guesses are the same as mine :eek:

Will there be a corpse explosion skill? That always was soo much fun.

This is nice. I’m not really a fan of the Necromancer idea but Crate’s take on it is very interesting. The Inquisitor is just more interesting in every single way, though. It’s new and fresh, not something we see in every class-based RPG. :wink:

interesting…

I like the artwork. The mastery art looks very different from that of the other 7 masteries. More detail, just like the loading screen compared to the mastery wallpapers.

I too grow tired of the necro class and the obsession over it. Having over played the class in Diablo 2 the announcement of the necro in D3 raised no excitement for me. Having said that I’m sure you guys will do the class 100 times better than to losers over at blizzard. Good move to keep your player base by offering what diablo will be. I’m sure I’ll dable with the class mixed with occultist and now I won’t even bother to entertain the necro player pak on d3 out of curiosity as the better game will have it anyway. Good work there!

  1. Choose any mastery but necro. And do not choose 2nd mastery.
  2. Get homestead.
  3. Choose kymon as ally.
  4. Level up.
  5. Choose Necro as 2nd mastery.

Well Grim Dawn is a good game, I dislike Necro as well, but I am sure due to this game being solid I will many a time, or countless even, get good use out of its mastery.

Just really hope we start to see how these masteries lay out…

Kymon’s face when I decide to pick my second mastery only after I accept to join his Faction:

Thank you, Crate! I couldn’t be happier right now. Can’t wait to experience your take on such an iconic class!

Hell yeah, I’m glad the rumours were true :smiley:

As to what class combo I’m looking forward to playing, that will have to be a Necromancer/Occultist with a focus on vitality damage, life drain and summons.

I’ve just gotten to the end of Elite with my hardcore retaliation Commando, so I hope the expansion release is going to coincide with me finishing Ultimate with him :wink:

  1. Hope that nobody notices when you turn up to work the following day with an army of undead following you around.

You’d probably have to wait until Ultimate with picking Necro as second mastery then, since you have to actively choose everytime.
