yeah, I was wondering if I should have mentioned that. There have been a number of free updates/content, since launch. People might have missed a few. not full acts. but new areas/dungeons/bosses/items.

East march added at some point. East of Burwitch. and "the hidden path"
Port Valbury added . Conflagration, northeast of Homestead to journey there.

Yeah some of that was in when I played, the east march was. Hidden path is new, Valbury yeah.

They also changed some drop rates on a bunch of stuff since I last played. I'm getting quite a lot of recipes, when originally I got like 3 total clearing the game on normal other than quest rewards, but I've gotten 6-8 already which is pretty good since it sucks not having any relic to craft otherwise. I crafted one that's at least kinda useful for summoner(it gives an aura, so it affects pets although it isn't very good synergy since it adds phys dmg but better than fucking nothing like last time). Dynamites look more common too which is nice. I also feel like Shrines used to require having components on you back when I played but now they pull from the stash(including shared one), so I haven't had to go grab shit to activate a shrine yet, I just hit them all and that's a lot less annoying.

I installed GD stash to clean out my shit without using mules and it does have a character edit part where you can specify most shit. Doesn't come with gear in the database though, I assume however you could find a file to import with all the gear.

For stats it's pretty much the same for everyone I think, you dump everything in phys and only take the bare minimum to equip gear in the rest. Like for endgame as a caster the bare minimum is like 8 or 9points in spirit, and everything else into phys. Especially as a summoner yeah.

Im leveling Necro/Occultist atm, it's very easy(although the minor patch supposedly nerfed skeletons early game a little bit, although I doubt it's very important). You want to max skeletons and the 2nd passive which lets you summon more, and then kinda whatever, everything can more or less stay at 1 so you might as well grab various stuff for utility. Since you can respec devotions now too it's worth it grabbing a bunch of ones with like active skills to put on pet and respec lategame for a better build.

This is what I'm uysing as a base Unimaginative Skelemancer Cabalist - Grim Dawn Forums but for now while lvling I'm doing entirely different devotions since I don't like his choices for leveling. For endgame it's apparently better but yeah atm I have like scorpion sting and elemental storm for example, elemental storm works a lot better on skeletons until you have enough points that you summon the melee ones more consistently imo.

Are you able to change class now? Like I don't really like the two sub-classes I pick but I beat the game anyway, Can I change my sub-class? I don't want to replay all the ACT...

Not ingame no. You can however do it with an external program.

I'm using GD Stash for like, storing shit and what not and it can be used as a cheat program too. There's an actual trainer that's simpler to use for this but not sure if it was updated.

For GD Stash you need to go to the forums to find it, needs Java to run, you load all your shit, make a copy of your Documents/My Games/Grim Dawn dir in case shit goes wrong.

Now log in on your char, spec out of all your shit in Devil's Crossing(you don't have to but if you don't, you'll retain the skills which is pretty broken, and also annoying when you're selecting skills to assign devotion/ to your bar and you don't get the skill points back), log out to save. Load the char in GD stash, remove all your mastery points then add them to your Skill points(otherwise you just lose them), and when you relog it'll let you select classes again.

You should have all your skill points to use if you did it this way. If there's some missing you can just re-add them, can also reset the cost of your respecs, or just edit your money. Can do a lot of stuff really with it even though it isn't really dedicated to it. Like max shitty reputations or just dupe/generate items.

Just tested with my old char and it seemed to work fine.
