Then later for the expansions during playtesting it was

Act 6 to end of Ashes of Malmouth content
Act 7 Forgotten Gods content
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 
I can’t decide, i annoy myself…
I think i’ll stop to play for a few day and look at build/gameplay.
Too much choice kill the choice for me, and can’t decide. I’ll tell you if i ever choose a build to finish the game at least once tho 
Toss a couple of dice for the mastery choices, job done.
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.
Would be a great idea 
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.
I’ll thank you kindly
You really covered a lot of different builds there 
not even mentioning what skills you’d like to use. But I will think of something
I love the Necro in Grim Dawn and its skills, not a fan of this class in other games.
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…
There’s a lovely weapon Soulrend designed for 2H Cold Reaper but it’s an endgame weapon.
Also this set Armor of the Eternal Night. They are target farmable - althouth it can take a while.
But it supports Shadow Strike melee / charge attack.
And also you use Necromancer’s Ill Omen with it which is a DoT
I’ll think how to best level into it, if leveling 2h from the start is reasonable 
I really like Cold Drain Essence Reaper
@Azazel If you really like curses cast from afar and kiting maybe it will probably be better if you play Cabalist (Necro + Occultist) and cast Ravenous Earth / Sigil of Consumption / Bloody Pox.
Here’s some Cabalist: [1.1.1.2-1.1.6.2] Beginner's vitality Ravenous Earth Oppressor with leveling guide
and you could also play around Sigil (there’s a great shield for it): [1.1.9.1][HC] Beginner's Shield Caster Sentinel - SSF + Viable for first character and end up with the following build: [1.1.9.1] Cabalist 12-13 Sigils. 100 SR. 150-170 5m 20s. Crate of Entertainment. Ravager. Avatar and other bosses
(but Cabalist instead of Sentinel for example)
Thanks for the tip. And is that will be viable for endgame? like ultimate or would i need to change to play that?
EDIT: Thanks a lot, i will check all of those and start as a necro, but cabalist seems good too
Yes, viable, here’s an endgame Cabalist (Necro + Occultist) [Grim Dawn] Dark One Cabalist (modified) (SR90 3rd clear) - YouTube similar to beginner Cabalist from the Beginner Vitality RE Oppressor guide (there’s a second build there)
@Azazel Did you have some problems with Demo / Sorc?
I kept it, but it’s not much fun anymore for now. I will maybe finish it someday but i don’t know.
I’m weird, don’t try to understand what i do, it’s not possible
I guess you didn’t find Mortars / Blackwater Cocktail / Fire Blast / other Demo fire spells enjoyable.
Mortar is not bad bud you don’t need to do nothing.
And the other skill, really really difficult to aim them with a controller. Sometime i launched my cocktail 3 meters next to my boss target…
I needed to run around and aggro the boss where my cocktail have explode to use the damage of it…
A yes, I forgot you play with a controller. That changes things.
I actually disliked Cocktail recently when fighting a boss. I used it for damage reduction but it seems tot take a long time before it hits the grounds and the damage reduction activates.
Yeah that too, but when maxed out, the damage is incredible, too bad i can’t aim better with it.
In term of attack skill, do you think something like that is enough or it lack an attack?
Here we go
I think you can try that. But maybe start leveling with Amarasta + default attack since your chosen skills require some levels to get to.
