Occultist Hellhound

Grim Dawn Development Updates
1

So the hellhound pet is a definite. He’ll have three skills to unlock:

Ember Claw - A fiery claw swipe that does increases physical and fire damage to multiple enemies in front of the Hellhound.

Hellfire Aura - This ability gives the Hellhound a self-buff that inflicts burn damage to adjacent enemies and boosts fire attack damage. It also makes the hellhound look a bit cooler as it sets itself ablaze and leaves a trail of flame in its path.

Molten Breath - Gives the hellhound a devastating fire breath attack that damages enemies within about a 4m cone infront of the hellhound.

YES!!! =)

How will it perform its melee attacks? Will it use both, claws and fangs? Will it be visible on its animation?

Will the buff “Ember Claw” be visible with some nice fiery claw effect? =)

Oh God, the Hellfire aura!!! Can’t wait to see the effect in action!! =)

Yay! Thanks for update!!

Hellfire Aura sounds awesome, love that it effects the look of the hound too.

cant wait to see some pics, thanks for the update!

Yes, ember claw has a visible effect. It basically adds a periodic attack to the Hellhound’s repertoire that leaves glowing claw streaks in the air for a split second after he uses it.

5

That’s sounds incredible! Thanks heaps for the update.

6

awesome, i like fiery red effects, (although it was an issue in TQ…:(). will it howl when you summon it, like the wolf in TQ? and any sound effects when butchering beasts?

7

I think it would be lovely to hear some angry, beasty sound of flesh tearing fiery Hellhound. =))

8

This class pet sounds awesome!

Thanks for the news Medierra!

So far hellfire Aura seems like the coolest ability to me, a trail of fire indeed.

Sounds like occultist will be the first mastery I play :smiley:

Pics and video please! :stuck_out_tongue:

Two weeks
“Introducing the hellhound”
Showing the skills
20-30 seconds + intro/outro

That would be awesome!
Too bad it was me and not med writing this. :stuck_out_tongue:

I woud love to see this class in action, and the hellhound sounds ace, and a class I going to play first too, just a pity the game is still some way off, but the wait will be worth it Im sure

13

Sounds like a great idea for a pet, do like!

14

Will there be any explosive animations when the hellhound dies?

15

Great! Like Core Dweller, but cooler (or in this case, warmer, haha bad pun warning). Ahem.

I just hope that unlike in TQ, burn damage will actually do some damage after normal difficulty.

16

Brilliant! Pet classes are my absolute favorite to play. So happy to see they’ve made it into Grim Dawn :smiley:

17

Love it! Can’t wait to see it in action.

18

Wow, that sounds really cool. Can’t wait to see that bitch (yes, my hellhound will be a female, just so I can call it a bitch :P) in action.

Thanks for the update, Med.

Kinda sounds like a cerberus. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m getting good vibes from that pet!

Love the idea of Hellfire Aura. :smiley:

Ember Claw & Molten Breath - will we have control over this? (pointing targets)
