Some questions: Anestheria and Item farming

Grim Dawn Gameplay Discussion

Yo! How are you guys!

I have two questions:

1 - Anestheria… im lvl 50, finishing some stuff in the normal/veteran before i charge in elite, and i still didnt know what to do with this witch XD What would you suggest? I’m blademaster.

2 - I want to farm Marauder’s Justice and Fury, but i dont know the best spot. What would you suggest? I ask this because i have, for exemple, 2x Mask of Delirium, 2x Touch of Malice, 2x Edrick’s Backscratcher, 2x Spellshock Epaulets and 2x Marauder’s Gloves. So, maybe, there is a good place to farm the pistols, i have a lot of twin epic itens. lol

Thanks! Sorry my bad english!

1 - There is never any good reason to kill the witch in Fort Ikon. Always ally with her and betray Reave.

2 - Just keep farming and hope that you get what you want; Epic and Legendary item drops are completely random.

You pretty much only kill Anasteria if you want her legendary helm (Outcast’s Secret). But i prefer her augments far more than just a single legendary and i honestly can’t bring myself to kill her due to story reasons. So yeah, keep her alive if you don’t care about her helm.

Like Xeilua said, epics and legendaries drop randomly with some very few exceptions being the mentioned above Outcast’s Secret, Mad Queen’s Claw from Mad Queen and Mogdrogen Spaulders from Mogdrogen (i feel like i’m forgetting another one).

Ty for the answer!!

But i see i need one item, black Legion Starter, for Saboteur. If i help the witch, i wil lose near every reputation with BL, right?

Btw, Norzan, i saw you have a Witchblade lvl 85, could you give me some tipes of gear, devotion, skills, etc? Or link me something about it?

I found a print inside a topic, but only shows the grimcalc, none of gear, I just read about Warborn Set.

You’ll lose some reputation with the Black Legion by doing quests for Anasteria, but that reputation can be easily regained by doing bounty quests for the Black Legion. You can still buy the Black Legion stuff and be allied with Anasteria.

I can point you to this thread.

Ok! Ty, mate!

I never do Anasterias quest until very late in the game - if at all. They usually require some hearts, brains, blood, and that is not easy to come by and can be exchanged for legendaries instead. And you will gain her reputation easily enough by killing Aetherials (and Cthonians ?). This way, I also don’t get negative Black Legion rep.

8

Out of curiosity which bosses have been confirmed to do absolute reduction in the game besides her? And what skill of each boss causes this reduction?

9

I know Valdaran also does it with the overhead lightning bolt. But it turns out, at least Zantai said it. overcapped resistance does help with absolute reducion. It’s just the stats tooltip displays it incorrectly.

Wait, how come?

Then what’s the difference b/w it and “not-absolute” reduction?

11

For the witch, you should kill her on one difficulty and ally with her on another, so that you get to kill her and buy all her augments. That’s what you should do with Kymon/DV as well.

Absolute reduction means flat reduction or additive reduction instead of multiplicative reduction scaling with player bonuses. Thus, if a person has 100% lightning resistance but caps at 80% and the boss does a -20 flat lightning debuff, the person would still have normally capped lightning resistance (at 80%)
