Grim Dawn

The rainbow mod should be part of the base game imo. They said they like it but it would be unfair to color blind people so instead everyone has to suffer. I really hate their devs mentality sometimes. Since some people have a disability we’re going to make it like everyone has it, even though everyone uses the fucking mod anyways.

Anyone know how it works if I have a skill that converts 100% of physical to Acid but an item converts xx% of physical to something else?

Only the skill would convert it. Conversion only happens one time for each type, in a hierarchal fashion. Skill is above item in that hierarchy.

A more in depth analysis from a reddit post that sounds right to me. It’s been a long time since I tried to understand It myself, I’ve just followed build guides for a long time.

“Conversion is a special stat found on equipment and skills that changes one damage type to another. The way it behaves is different depending on whether it modifies a skill or is found on a piece of equipment. The order of events for Conversion is as follows: Base Skill > Skill Modifiers > Conversion on the Skill or Transmuter > Conversion on Equipment and Buffs > Equipment, Auras and Passives If you have a skill, such as a Transmuter, that converts the damage your attack does, then this calculation is performed before any bonuses from other skills, attributes or equipment are considered. Skill modifiers are still applied first. What this means is that if you take a skill that normally deals Aether damage and use Conversion to make it deal Chaos damage instead, then the skill will benefit from % Chaos Damage bonuses instead of % Aether Damage bonuses. If you have an amulet with 10% of physical damage converted to fire, that means that 10% of all physical damage you deal (regardless of source) will be dealt as fire instead. This calculation is done before any bonuses you receive to physical damage from Cunning, skills and equipment. What this means is that you can change the damage your weapons and skills do to suit the % damage bonuses on your equipment, opening up exciting opportunities for hybrid builds. No matter where the Conversion occurs though, it is only applied once. What this means is that if a skill has its damage converted to another damage type via a Modifier or Transmuter (ex. Aether turned into Chaos), the converted damage cannot then be converted again by items (the Chaos damage from the earlier example cannot be then turned into Elemental via an item because Conversion has already occurred).“

Anyone use Rainbow filter mod? I have GrimInternals up and running but can't get Rainbow to work. Do you put the file in your mod or Grim Dawn main directory folder?

Making sure the text files are in the right place tripped me up in the past.

How does the Item Assistant work? I've got it up but not sure how to actually put gear in it...

There are settings to decide which of your stash tabs sucks up the item. Like if it’s set to the last tab and you’re new and don’t have that one yet it won’t work, so need to change it to second tab.
