What's easier to level: Nightblade or Inquisitor?

Grim Dawn Gameplay Discussion
1

Never has I begun my journey with either of those two masteries, so not sure which is more efficient to level. I will be making Infiltrator (as you have already guessed) and would appreciate any advice on which mastery and how to level. Gonna be rocking full Lokkar set and “pre-leveling” for 5-6 devotion points in Crucible Aspirant.

I think the fastest would be rushing max veil and night’s chill on NB + 1pt in SS then go straight to inq rushing censure. You’ll be a walking death till mid-elite. At least that’s what I heard. Never tried it that way.

This setup is the fastest non-necro leveler in the game I’m pretty sure:

You can do something similar with cold:

For inquis you can use WoP for some speedy leveling but either of those nb setups kill everything in vet/elite in <4 secs pretty much (except gods but why would you do that).

The only issue with the nb setups is they’re potion hungry as fuck unless you use components

edit: can use 2x rift scourgers too in the first setup (may be slightly better /shrug … last time I leveled that way I just picked some trash stuff up from the ground and it worked great)

Thanks, guys, I will stick with Nightblade then.

Maxed Night’s Chill + Lethal Assault = you win! I personally enjoy mixing this with the Occultist’s Blood of Dreeg for smooth sailing ~

I put I decent leveling guide into my post here http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70221 for infiltrator. Basically states what the above posters suggested, but in more detail. It steam rolls :smiley:

Both:

NB: ABB LA, Nightfall.

Inquis: WOP, SB, Haggarad.

Both level ridiculouly fast.

Inquis is a tiny bit faster at trash mobs early game

With no leveling gear inquisitor is about 30% faster. With gear Nightblade is the fastest leveling mastery in the game. Use 2 riftstones , it speed up leveling significantly.

Coming from “self found” camp NB with ABB feels smoother w/ better gear to be found from Spined Cove with enough farming.
I personally LOVE Superfluffs Shinobi though one needs some Ecto.
Never had any luck with Inq for gear 'till after Homestead.
