In your opinion what builds need gear support ?

Grim Dawn Classes, Skills and Builds
1

While very excited by the new xpac anouncement, i haven’t forgotten that a new patch is coming posthaste with new legendary sets “opening new builds possibility” :cool: and i’m still very excited about that too :smiley:

as reminder GD vanilla got support for bleed Warder, lightning Elementalist, Cadence Soldier, BWC Demo, CT Sorcerer, Chaos AAR Warlock and poison NB in 1.0.0.6.

from the pictures in the thread (see link above) i’d say we will have a poison caster set (Cabalist ?), a cold Infiltrator and a vitality DK set (pure speculation as usual :D). What do you wish/expect to see in 1.0.1.6 ?

Defilers could use some help. And all grenadiers =)

Some forum members have mentioned Ravenous Earth (outside of Vitality that is). Acid/Poison versions could use some help.

Few ones I’m hoping for but know will never happen are Pierce Phantasmal Blades and something other than Fire/Lightning for Mortar Trap like Chaos.

Indeed this

6

Pierce Casters - specifically Pierce PB as mentioned by Evil_Baka and also Pierce Bone Harvest
Besides that we could use some more sources of Acid to Pierce conversion, Vitality to Elemental conversion and Pierce to Elemental conversion
I’d also love to see Chaos to Pierce conversion

Lastly, some actual non-conversion support for Vitality Decay.

Aether (especially fucking Aether), Acid, Fire, Lightning, Cold, Physical and Vitality are in a good spot at the moment imo

Dude(s) what? Are you talking about non-Occultist Chaos? Cause I agree on that front

7

Just cause Chaos cadence is fine?:stuck_out_tongue: or And also darkblaze

DW can’t crucible 170. Just your WB can.

Also to add:

PIERCE

Is this ↓ really needed??)

My own pet peeve, physical caster builds. Specifically ones that don’t use soldier, there’s a set for that but the others are currently exercises in frustration/masochism. And they could be so much more.

10

This as well. I find it weird the only +2 all skills set in the game is Aether focused. Elemental might not need it (although modifications to The Cataclysm are always welcome) but Physical/Pierce sure do.

11

more support for aether panetti. in fact I’d love more plus skills item to panetti line, so i can ultimate ranked them all! :rolleyes:

#MakePanettitheBestRangeSkill :stuck_out_tongue:

We lack gear that has Green Lightning procs. Also we need either Mythical Warhammer of Heavenly Judgement or an item with Sun Spot

13

2 Hand Ring of Steel.

The only Ring of Steel Cooldown reduction is on the Korba set (dual wield), and aside from one pair of gloves, all the % weapon items are on one hand weapons so more dual wield or sword and board.

I know that a nice pierce focused 2 handed sword is on a couple of other people’s wishlists, so I figure why not tack this on to the ask. And if it gets expanded to a small Harbinger style set, all the better in my opinion.

14

Physical/pierce, chaos, acid/poison support for RE, cold melee (myth.leviathan skill mod = wtf), more conversion modifiers, like aether to chaos.

Though I suspect the gear for one of the new masteries in Forgotten Gods will support physical and pierce damage, if only because there’s as hole in the masteries for it.

15

I’m probably being a bit too optimistic but I would like to see more combinations, like say f.e. Chaos + Lightning

But I am well aware that would make development more complicated. :stuck_out_tongue:

16

I’d like a set for a bleed conjurer. Preferably a caster type set.

17

Mage Hunter gunner (more elemental gunslinging, less casting please)

18

2H melee Vitality. Everything is 1H or caster. Btw the droprate of spectral warmauls in the campaign is really low, especially compared to the AoM MIs, wich drop in abundance.

Thank you for all replies, interesting suggestions here !

So Chaos and Pierce seems the dmg type which needs the more support. Maybe the Golden Sentinel will be for Pierce Infiltrator (DW pierce infiltrator seems like an obvious synergy now that i think about it). For Chaos Pyro maybe, or a set enhancing Tainted Flame the way the Black Flame Covenant did for Tainted Ray (or better :p)
