I see, thanks. I’ve been also wondering, is the dodge chance from the Monk’s new dual-wield passive skill supposed to be shown in the defence tab of you character? I have three points invested in it, I’m dual-wielding, but the chance to dodge melee attacks is still at 0% for me.
Does anyone know where to find builds for the diablo 3 classes? i googled and i searched this site as well… are there ppl who make Build guides for diablo3 classes only?

Patch Notes 4.0
BUG FIXES
- Fixed an issue where Karlei’s Point had the same bitmap as Tiklandian’s Spellblade.
- Fixed an issue where Staggering Shield, from The Final Witness, didn’t bounce to other enemies.
- Fixed an issue where the “of the Reanimator” suffix didn’t grant skillpoints to Skeleton Archer and Zombie Dogs as intended.
- Fixed an issue where Heaven’s Fury stops working while wielding the Azurewrath sword.
- Removed burn damage bonuses from Roland’s Legacy set, it was not intended.

Patch 4.0 will receive some additional changes soon, one of them is the Meteor’s rework.
It will no longer be just a “Fiery Trozan’s Skyshard”, now it will work similar to D3’s original skill, dealing about 40% of Grenado’s damage, however, it still has no cooldown.
Here’s a preview of the classic skill and Tal Rasha’s Thundercrash proc.

Damn those VFX look good!
Looking forward to it’s inclusion in Grimarillion soon.
@Grimer - the Witch Doctor skill “Pierce the Veil” - It is possible to have the active energy cost scaling reduced at higher skill ranks?
To achieve/maintain 125/sec at rank 12 (for the 10% cooldown) whilst firing off spells is a tall order.
@Grimer The Barb Ancient Spear ability’s buff requires 16 levels but the skill only goes up to 12

Currently working on a revamp for the set skills. Most of them will have the mechanic of having a secondary skill attached.
Here are some preview of the skills:
Firebird's Finery | Disintegrate + Chaos Nexus
Might of the Earth | Trembling Stomp + Giant Stride
Vyr's Amazing Arcana | Stacking Archon

Ok, I am sold.
I will be installing GD again to play this Mod!
EDIT: BTW, How to install the mod? 
Just drop the “Diablo_III” folder into Grim Dawn\mods, and create a custom game picking the mod (create the ‘mods’ folder if you don’t have one)

Just wanted to leave a comment here to praise the work put into these classes for Grim Dawn.
I use Dawn of Masteries, and I struggle to pick anything else but a mix of a Diablo 3 class and Titan Quest, as they are the only ones besides vanilla with actual gear and set bonuses.
And wow. Those sets are amazing. They capture so much of the real Diablo 3 vibe, but in many cases, are outright superior to the game they come from.
Bravo. An incredibly well made mod.

I was told in the gd discord that you cant put celestial powers on item skills because it would crash the game. Never tested it myself so… Is it not the case anymore or you found some workaround?
yes, it still does, but only if it’s granted by an item, not from set bonuses
