Is there any build who is not specific gear dependent?
Every build i’ve seen, the skill are chosen because of the gear the character have.
Is there some build where you can have gear whit stat you need but not THAT specific item for the build like i read a lot?
Every build i read NEED to have specific items, is it a thing in Grim Dawn?
I read like 5-6 sorcerer build, and everytime, they need at least one specific item to make the build work…
This one is the only one i found where you can change the gear, but i’m not sure it’s still updated.
Depends on what you want to do in the game. If just the main campaign that doesn’t really need any special gear for builds. Tackling Nemesis, doing Crucible and/or Shattered Realm you need more specific. And remember the builds in the Compendium are endgame builds which do focus on Crucible/SR.
You can always ask and someone will make you a theorycraft / sketch of a build with only easy to get / target farmable items.
There’s a whole compendium for that btw but no sorc there atm because builds with all gear available are naturally more popular amongst builders Beginner build guides Compendium (for AoM + FG expansions)
I’m bored of callidor, i’m lvl 28 and wanted to see what i could do. There a tons of sorcerer build and 95% of them don’t even use attack from arcanist, just passive and buff.
I’m full buffed +%fire damage so i think i’ll look at some demolitionist skills to use then
Lol, i just kill the warden and i start forgotten gods like people told me to.
Thanks for the tip, as always
When i see Demo skill, it seems more appropriate to use his skill for damage than arcanist. Cause except ray and callidor, arcanist is not that good in fire (i think i don’t know i’m a noob).
Maybe i push my arcanist too much and not enough my demo. When i saw video of skill like mortar it’s just amazing lol.
How do i know when i will be in act 3? For now, i kill the warden and i need to repair a bridge. don’t even know which act am i.
Act 2 is behind that bridge. Act 3 is after you kill Act 2 boss Cronley. When you get to Homestead in Act 3, you can go to a dungeon called Port Valbury and get Conflagration there if you want although it’s not necessary and might be too much / overwhelming for a new player. Just mentioning it if you’d like to use this Fire Ray I mentioned asap but you won’t need it.
There’s a reason why I am making these beginners guides
But to be more precise, majority of these builds you see posted are meant to tackle hardest possible content, so their goal is to have best in slot gear across the board. Of course some of the pieces are interchanggeable and build can function without every specific piece of gear.
But of course there’s different gear requirements for builds. For instance if you see build, which relies on more monster infrequent gear without specific affixes and without sets, they are easier to make. Or target farmable sets or gear like Dark One.
At this point of the game this isn’t point of concern. Choosing a build is though
To be fair, in this forum, there should be a wheel of choice. New lost people like me would just roll the wheel and play the build the wheel stopped on.
Just think which is your favourite colour and roll the damage type is similar to it. Then take the classes, which supports it and take the one, which sound most badass to you and voilà, you have a build
This is an RPG as well, so pick something that you thematically like. We have classic Soldier, Dark Magic Guy, Assassin, Necromancer, and Fire-Crazed Arsonist, among others.
My fav of all time are and always will be dark wizard like necromancer. Here, i think the necro lack of curse and dots.
Necro is someone who poison your mind, can be transformed into a dark soul and haunt you. Curse and confuse your enemies to fight for your and even revive the fallen enemies. There are no skills like that in the necro here (that i’m aware of)
BUT, i made a chart and rolled the dice (for real), it’s gonna be a necromancer with nightblade or occultist i don’t know, nightblade seems better. I don’t want a full pet build, i tried that with conjurer it’s pretty boring. I want to make my controller suffer for playing those buttons.
As for the build, here i am begging you again
I don’t know if i can play with a scythe (2H) or if it’s better DW. Please, choose for me what type of damage doing and i will play a build compared to this damage. I’m too lost with the damage type and skills cause skills give you +% to different type of damage in the same time and i can’t choose.
So yeah please, 2H ok or not and the type of damage, i’ll do the rest by myself.
To be fair, a necro with a scythe would be perfect
I love curse and dot, not pet. The problem seems to be that you’ll need certain item with granted skill by this item to have a viable build. I just want a class and play the game
Drain essence is not good cause you can’t move. All of the other seems great but not much skill to do damage though…
