Grim Misadventure #146: Virtue-ally Better

We welcome you back to Grim Misadventures, the place where your adventures are grim, and…mis…y…?

Our last update was kind of a big deal, as we unveiled the 9th mastery coming to Grim Dawn with the Forgotten Gods expansion, which brings the number of mastery combinations to a staggering 36.

Today, we’re going to take a closer look at some of the incredible item art coming your way with the expansion, which not so coincidentally was the centerpiece of the Oathkeeper class art.

So just what makes an Oathkeeper set? As it turns out, virtue. This pure Oathkeeper class Legendary Set is akin to previous class iterations, such as Uroboruuk’s Guise for the Necromancer and The Runebinder for the Inquisitor. The armor is said to have been blessed by Empyrion himself, and it represents righteousness and purity. It is Virtue’s Light.

Please note that as the expansion is still under development, the following information may change by release. Numbers on skills/modifiers are scaled to the character’s stats.

Should you uncover all five parts of this forgotten collection of armor, the following bonuses await you:

Now you may recall from our last update just what the Aegis of Menhir is…

This is just one of many sets in the upcoming expansion. Forgotten Gods brings with it 12 all-new sets, themed not only around the new Oathkeeper mastery but also expanding upon your options for existing masteries. You will also discover that many items (including sets) from Grim Dawn and Ashes of Malmouth will support for Oathkeeper mastery as well.

nice…

I knew it. Item suppprt for OK. Thank you Zantai! We getting close!:cool:

Wow. Ascension? Looks promising!

Release date ! give meh !

Look very nice
Assets look cool as always

ok it seems AoM (the skill) will be kinda central in the mastery :smiley: the art is gorgeous anyway.

12 new sets is the total number or just legs ?

i’m quite hyped. I wonder if there will be good support, both items and skill transmuter wise, for non phys/fire Aegis of menhir

One set - that’s all we got after two weeks waiting for grimnews?
So kindly.

Not really. What we get is we are now inch closer to the release. Think positive. It has been like this if you recall the dress to necromance thread. When that thread was released I knew its almost time for AoM. Same applies here:cool:

Holy cow I review that thread and it still got months before aom got revealed. Epic fail on me

In the last misadventure it was revealed that it would have a poison/acid transmuter.

“Pledge your soul to Dreeg and turn the Aegis into a vector for the Great Guardian’s suffering.”

Artwork = drool, artwork = drool. Gimme, gimme.

Set looks great! I could see good mastery combinations with this class. My hands are burning to try the Oathkeeper mastery myself. :stuck_out_tongue:

I was thinking about preparing a non-class character in order to start into the Expansion faster, or like, more leveled-up. Now im thinking a class with fire or Elemental RR could be nice: Occultist, Inquisitor, Demo. Also Soldier looks crazy but i guess this could be quite boring.

Also i guess it suits well as a support class to casters like arcanist.

Main thought is i could levelup as one of those instead of doing harder non-class levelup!

Also eager to find out what the skill Ascension and Avenging Shield does. :smiley:

Ascension could be a temporary self buff and Avenging Shield maybe some sort of shield slam or retaliation skill.

not much this time. cmon… two weeks of w8ing just for one set.

Since we had a pretty big reveal last time - yes. :rolleyes:

I see a commando. :undecided: #team double commando now?

Damn, my S&B Firestrike Commando is jealous! Great set! :smiley:

from the name i’d say ascension could be the exclusive toggable aura
