I don’t necessarily disagree with the comment on Elite enemy scaling but as for the “Scaling in this game is just weird”, sure, but it primarily comes down to Grim Dawn’s dual mastery system AND the fact that you can ‘beast-mode’ pump a skill or skills with points lickety split.
As the game moves on more options are open for you, as a player - you have more skill points, devotion points, more access to craftable gear at the blacksmith, faction reps etc. Then there are the extremely wide range of ways you can choose to build your characters and the fact that some builds are stronger than others, some weaker, combined with how this humongous array of possibilities also fluctuates DURING the leveling process itself, well, I would say they’ve done a pretty damn good job trying to keep some semblance of balance during these leveling phases.
Sure, there are ways. Grim Dawn is a very moddable game.
You have have GD Stash or GD Defiler (and one or two other lesser known tools), which can allow you to easily bypass…
