Short newbie Question

Grim Dawn Gameplay Discussion

Hello!
I’ve played this game for awhile

But still have some serious doubt about my knowledge

Could someone please help me with this questions please

  1. What happen if I have more than 100% of Physical damage convert to Lightning damage?, like 100 phys damage now deal more than 100 lightning dmg or just 100 lightning dmg and the overcap is useless?

  2. What if I have 2 source of dmg convert and its sum is more than 100%?
    i.e 50% to lightning , 60% to fire? how 100 phys dmg now become, 50 lightning & 60 fire OR 50%/(110%)*100 lightning & 60%/(110%)*100 Fire?

3.Do % Chance of -% Skill Cooldown Reduction affect proc too? like this proc Windshear Greaves, if not then what else it affect beside normal active skill, i.e Item skill? Devotion skill?, any proc at all?

  1. Like the above but with Belgothian’s Carnage

5.The Increases Armor Piercing by 100% by Blades of Nadaan , what is this mean? If i have a sword with 50% piercing, and 100 phys dmg then its dmg will be convert 50% to piercing dmg ( 50 piercing dmg), plus the Blades effect it will become 100 piercing dmg or 150? ( get the feeling I got this all wrong:rolleyes:)

6.What is the cap of resistances one can reach with + x to maximum resis? 90? 95?

  1. The items from faction shop, are there anyway we can get them with affixes ? ( legit of course)

Thank you so much!

p.s Sorry for my English,its not my mother tongue

I’ll answer a few and someone correct me if i’m wrong.

I’m pretty sure if you are converting 100% of your physical damage to lighting damage, it means your entire physical damage is now lightning damage. So yeah, i don’t think you can above 100%.

The 100% Armor Piercing of Blades of Nadaan doubles the armor piercing of your equipped weapons. It increases a weapon with 25% armor piercing to 50% armor piercing.

Cap resist is 95%.

Faction shop items are static. So no, you can’t get them with different affixes.

So if i wear Dermapteran Slicer all my phys dmg will convert to piercing dmg, but only applied to that weapon right?

4

Correct!

Top notch slicers are the best weapons you can get because of that and if you lack high end blademaster gear any ole slicer is pretty good, likely outdoing anything else you can find

5

Yes, if you have Blades of Nadaan. Armor piercing also applies before other conversions.

Faction items have fixed stats, aka uniques. But you can revisit vendor for maximizing rolls (since rolls vary somewhat).

% cooldown reduction affects procs and devotion procs too.
Things like Belgothian Carnage affect only Active skills (and that’s stated in description).

Um… what is “Top notch” , “ole” ? , its affixes or an epics name?
sorry but I cant find them on gracefuldusk

7

so what happen if i wear 1 slicer and 1 Empowered Cruel Edge , when the add phys dmg proc do they convert all that super phys dmg to pierce dmg ?
