Grim Dawn

yeah, there is life steal on physical damage.



Devotion did add a ton of needed build diversity.
I am not certain yet, that its not a bit too "one right path" though. Efficiency in points, seems to determine what you take too much. Not what the points provide, int he constellation itself.

My arcanist is transitioning a bit more into the, "immune, while everything kills itself on me territory".

I mentioned how Mirror +cdr is super strong. But didnt mention its retaliation element. 16/12 atm. 210% damage reflect. melee and ranged.
I have FF for the instant aoe freeze+chill.. but didn't mention my chillsurge ring. 10% chance on hit, for item given flash freeze.

Chillsurge Ring Graceful Duskthe wiki here lists 60 cold damage. hrm. yeah these must level with you automatically. mine does 450 damage atm.

http://gracefuldusk.appspot.com/item...d's-Signet
10% chance when hit by melee aoe aether blast.

Fateweaver mantle
http://gracefuldusk.appspot.com/item...r's-Mantle
100% chance when crit, 100% phsy and pierce resist.

Equilibrium Graceful Dusk
relic.
100% chance when crit. confuse+stun target.

http://gracefuldusk.appspot.com/item...er's-Badge
33% chance when hit by crit, +50% move speed. (no idea if this stacks with fateweavers move speed. probably not)


http://gracefuldusk.appspot.com/item...ist's-Belt
This is a big one. hard to every actually replace.
When hp drops below 20%, 15%+300 hp restored, 25% energy restored, +25 hp regen/s, +15% energy regen.
Auto-potion.. very powerful.

of Serenity Graceful Dusk
"of serenity" offhand.
20% chance when hit.
33% slow on target for 1 sec. 4.5 aoe radius. (this is much stronger then it sounds. It drops th aoe time slow at the attackers feet. So this wrecks archers.)


I am now adding to this with devotion. I tried planning other paths, largely damage/elemental. not much success.
Heading towards Light of Hyperion, and want hourglass as well, possibly spear of heavens.

Part of the issue is offensive vs defensive devotions. I cant link anythign to FF. so only have aether ray, and Skyshards for offensive. 2 offensive constellation skills.. But defensive, I can tie to Maivens, mirror, reckless power, chill aura, Isksandra's EE, or Radient shield. So, at least 3 up 100% of the time. Mirror with high uptime for #4, and good for a reflect skill, like spear of heavens.

1order, 1 prime.
Sailors guide. 4 points, gives 5 prime. and some defense.
6spent:1o,6p
Tortoise. very strong for Arc. 5points, for 2 order, 3 prime. more defense, and 100% chance at 40% life, for damage absorb shield. stick this on maivens. Unkillable arcanist.
11s:3o,9p
Dryad. 5 points, for 3 order. more def. mostly meh. 5% spirit is good. we need the points, and the active is pretty good. life regen on attack. stick this on replicating, or Aetherray. this life regen is far better then a weak damage proc imho.
16s:6o,9p
panter. 4points. 2o,3p (a bit meh. crane is 5p, for 5o, an option.) some offensive stats.
20s:8o,12p
we need 6p for light, and hour. 8p for spear.
eel is 3p for 5p. most eff. def, avoidance.
Tsunami. 5p for 5p
30s:8o,22p.
remove the crossroads p.
29s:8o,21p
light of emp. 7p, no affin.
36s:8o,21p


hourglass is 6p, needs 8c. Spear is 7p, needs 7c
I need 8c, with 1 point. haha. cant do both.
14p left.
Jackel and vulture give 8c, for 8s.
6s left. enough for hourglass. if I want spear. I would need to drop tsunami, and swap to gallows. which gives 5p for 4s, or hound, which is 3p for 3s

Alt, is take scholars light, and then Amatak for blizzard. in my skyshards. not a super fan of tsunami on it.

I'm full shaman pet mode. I use 2 occult pets, shaman pet, shaman ultimate pet, two totems and lightning whirlwind.

I have the increase pet damage by 60? in the divination screen. It's a cool proc.

Working towards necromancer tree.

Next working occultism to get a hellfire aura on my pet which grants everyone that aura.

My gear is shit though and i haven't settled on a damage type.

I wasn't sure what the difference was between those choices.

Blacksmith - Grim Dawn Wiki - Wikia

When crafting gear from them, they can get apply bonus stats differant to each. sort of like, "tora's bow, etc in PoE.

Also, everyone should readGame Mechanics - Grim Dawn Wiki - Wikiabecause there's a few things that don't work like you might expect from playing other ARPGs.

I didn't know pets had stances...sheeeeet.

Yea I almost rerolled my entire dude out of pets because I didn't know about the stance. Aggressive makes pets far less shit though.

OK this inventory is out of control, and worst part is I need all that stuff.

Do you know about the smuggler? It's your bank and an account shared bank. Find him in the north west corner of Devil's Crossing. You get a bank tab with him per character and a shared tab for free, and you can give him iron to unlock I think up to 4 shared tabs as well. Stick all that crap in the bank! When crafting, it will pull the items from your bank automatically.

What about when you need stuff to unlock devotions?

tp back to base and grab it. not hard.
L is default tp iirc. you have unlimited portals.

also, you get more backpacks via questing. And can unlock more transfer/bank space via ironbits.


Enviroments.
yeah, one of the things I love is the background lore. The salt wards vs Aetherials are never outright explained. you just have to observe it.

Nice didn't know about that one.


Just found some pants that lets me throw poop. 10/10
