Im pretty impressed with crate. they slogged along with GD for a while to the point I thought they were just putting out the game and then forgetting (figuratively) about it. But they keep releasing content and updates, which is great.

It cannot be helped when you have a small dev team with a big dream. Crate is doing an incredible job fulfilling what the players want out of an ARPG.

Word man, they have done such a greatr job. doesnt matter what their team size is, they know what we want n they give it to us that want it. n by us mean we, cause we all are one in the end of the day.

hell yes a damn good game

Let's gear necro up.

Can someone send me a link for a good, NON gear dependent build in GD? I stink because I never play, I never play because I stink. I tried to copy someone's build but it doesn't work because I don't have good enough gear.

2H bleed warder

Devotions: aim at hintress and howl of mogdrogen.
Counter srtike points may also go to warcry/break morale, instead.

Doesn't require player skills, fat as fuck, sufficient damage, easy to gear up.

If you manage to die with it even once, just uninstall.

Thanks! But I seriously don't remember how to even play this game. How do I know what gear to get other than 2h weapon?

People post build guides on the grim dawn official forums similarly to how people posts builds on this website. I haven't played in a few months, or I'd recommend something. Because I'm not 100% sure what all has changed. Something else might be the new "budget build" meta.

Ofc in this case you'd want to have items which target this certain build - phys/bleed increase + something else, but these won't come early on.
You actually don't need certain pieces of gear up to the ultimate difficulty. Play with what you find on your way. The most important stat in this game are resists, then comes anything else.

Your power will naturally grow mostly by the skill tree (skills + skill mastery), devotions, components and augments.
You can eventually find some blue/green items which are tailored for this (or similar) build, but you may not need them at all. It's all different in the end game, where you'd like to have certain pieces of purples, or even complete sets. So don't worry for now.

A very important part of progression are the faction vendors. They sell fixed items, along with juicy augments. Get rep fast.

TLDR

Just play the game. Its design is noob friendly, at least at lower difficulties.

agree, except the huge spike between the end of Elite and Ultimate Act 1.
my first character leveled in Elite to a point he stood a fighting chance in Steps Of Torment and Maelstrom Of Chaos... but then got repeatedly butchered by mosquitoes in Ultimate as soon as he stepped out of town.
