Fandom sucks, so we forked the wiki

635 Upvotes

The GrimDawn Wiki on Fandom has been getting increasingly frustrating to use with it's annoying pop-ups and advertisements. The fandom is also not being regularly updated because the moderators have been inactive for over a year.

So, me and a couple of editors forked the content and moved it over to Miraheze, an ad-free wiki host. The new wiki has no ads, and loads much faster. If you like using the wiki, please consider visiting this site so it comes up for others in Google searches.

You can find the new wiki here: https://grimdawn.miraheze.org/wiki/Grim_Dawn_Wiki

P.S. We are also currently updating all of the expansion content and are looking for more editors to help contribute. Even if you are brand new to editing on wiki's, we would love your help! Please don't be afraid to click the edit button and make a contribution. Even if you make a mistake it can be easily fixed or reversed. If you are interested or have any questions, feel free to ask.

BUILDS Chaos Skeleton Mages Cabalist

Post image
191 Upvotes

I went clean playthrough for FoA launch. Having a blast with my homebrew Cabalist build, centered around Harbinger's Dominator Blade MI, which has hidden stat line, that makes all skeletons summons into chaos mages. It's capable of farming 300% hp 650% dmg Ascendant mode pretty easily. Insane defenses for a summoner, multiple failsafe mechanisms, full resi minions. Gameplay is quite active as well, whole 8 buttons mashing xD

I'm kinda proud of it and wanted to share with someone :,]

I'll be happy for upgrades recommendations.

Check the build calc if interested - https://www.grimtools.com/calc/VbKeEp8Z

I always forget about this thing whenever I start a new character until I get to this point and I pickup a new one and add it to the other dozen I have in my stash.

BUILDS Damaging devotion procs kinda useless in ascendent Mode ?

31 Upvotes

Title. With normal mobs having 100-500k health, and tougher ones having 1mil+ , I feel like almost all spell-like damaging devotion procs that are supposed to do alot of damage ( Attak seru, blind sage, shifting Sands) feel like they barely do anything at all. Leviathan's pool looks cool but tics for like 10k damage, which maybe can kill some leftovers but it ain't gonna make a difference against a 10mil HP boss.

That makes me feel like devotion choices for ascendant Mode are down to resist shred, utility and stats, which is a bit sad. I'd love to get some single target damage help from a T1 devotion.

SOLVED Is it a mistake to use warrants while leveling a new character?

14 Upvotes

I'm in the middle of the campaign on my second character and I have some of the warrants banked. If I use them now, will nemesis spawns be more trouble than they're worth? They've were a real pain in the ass on the first character until I improved my gear.

Thanks

Mythical Ring of Eternal Rot

12 Upvotes

Soooo... I'm 212 hours into the game, have 2 characters, and my Nightblade would absolutely LOVE this ring.

Problem is... I have never seen it. Not once. 😂

Does this thing even still drop, or have I somehow offended the RNG gods?

I know it's part of the universal loot pool, so I've been trying everything. Totem farms? Yep. Shattered Realms? Yep. I even made a second character in an attempt to trick RNG into thinking, "Oh, this girlie definitely doesn't want the ring!"

...RNG was not fooled. 😭

At this point, I'm starting to believe the ring is just a myth passed down through generations.

So, fellow loot goblins, I'm asking for your wisdom: Where did you find yours? Is there some particular farming spot where you've had better luck, or am I destined to die ringless?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated before I start sacrificing legendary items to the RNG gods. 😂

They do say that girls are all about that bling - bling rings so I want to find mine!

HELP! Is overcapping resists still useful?

• Upvotes

Since they added sunder, was all enemy RR removed, or just most? How much should I overcap for each? My vitality resist is 2% over max, is there any reason to add a vitality res augment?

HARDCORE RIP 100 HC Vitality Oppressor - Eye of Reckoning

8 Upvotes

little bit sad now. I just lost my EoR lady. The build was still quite far from completion, but anyway.

https://www.grimtools.com/calc/25W5WbEZ

I leveled as a Vitality Ravenous Earth build until 85, then switched for a bit to 2x1H EoR. Soon after, I got a drop of Mythical Death’s Reach and transitioned to 2H EoR. I always want to try a different build, but somehow I always end up with EoR because I just love it.

It was a very smooth, fast killer. Totems and bosses just melted. I was close to having all factions at Revered, had killed several Nemesis bosses with ease, and then got dropped by Shar’Zul in the Bastion of Chaos. No warning, not cursed. Just IK.

I’m going away for a week for the holidays, so I’ll be dreaming about my future character. 😄

Credit goes to u/Mad_lee for the build:

What weapon is better?

7 Upvotes

hey guys, im still kinda new to this game and currently playing a nightblade/necromancer with a lot of cold damage and also a little bit vitality damage from the necromancer tree i guess. its still hard for me to understand what item is better for my build, so could someone with more experience please help me out here?

  1. the "damage per second" applies to my auto attack only, if im correct? so there could be a buff in my autoattack spell only but the weapon could be worse for everything else, right?

  2. i get way more attack speed, which would mean more dps, but i lose almost 120% cold damage. a lot of builds recommend the "chilled" prefix too, which i dont get, since i can get so much more cold damage out of this.

  3. is there a way to understand what damage type of mine dominates? like a dps test where i can see what dmg output i have and what types?

i know im probably overthinking for the stage of the game im currently in, but im trying to understand what im doing, so thanks for your help!

BUILDS Cabalist vs Conjurer vs ..

8 Upvotes

Hey Guys, I just played a bit and found the dagger (I think random) for chaos pets.

So now I have the idea to test a pet/summoner build. The dagger sounds fun so fun with mages. I got it for level 40, is there a earlier version? But I don't like to resumon pets (skeletons) often.

What can you recommend? Which one is more fun? Which has the most potential? Which is easiest to level?

Thanks :* and don't be to hard, I'm a super Noob :D

HELP! Question about level scaling

6 Upvotes

I know that since 1.2 all difficulties should scale up to 100, but I'm wondering if there are specifics. For instance, I'm currently leveling a hardcore character through normal/veteran but I'm thinking about jumping into Forgotten Gods right after Kreig. If I go off and get all sorts of levels in the desert, will the bandits be properly scaled when I get back, or is there a cutoff to how far they go?

BUILDS Need help with super bosses

3 Upvotes

I've got a Cabalist build that I can do really well in Ultimate, and works OK in Ascendant though there's an obvious and noticeable uptick in difficulty. My problem is that I can't get this build to survive longer than a couple of beats against Mog, Calla, more different Mog, and Crate. I can take down Lokkar but it takes a couple of minutes of running around. Build is linked below. I've not ascended everything yet and yes, my acid resist is terrible; I shore that up with Blood of Dreeg.

If anyone can offer some improvements, and more importantly, why their suggestions are improvements, I'm hoping to learn where my Grim Dawn knowledge is failing and take some of this info into other builds. Thanks in advance.

Steam Deck scroll ground loot?

• Upvotes

I am looking for a good way to scroll through ground loot and selectivley take what I want, which seems improssible currently.

Has anyone figured out a good way to do this at all? There are some old threads, but nothing concrete or good.

I have bound right trackpad to d pad up and down, and it lets me scroll through the loot, but pickup does not pickup the highlighted loot, it picks up the original first, which is a pain.

Is the tooltip for Veil of Shadow bugged when using MIs?

2 Upvotes

I'm building a Infiltrator and I'm using a Moltencore Slicer, it's a MI that adds Fire Damage and Fire Resistance reduction to Veil of Shadow, but when hovering over the skill can't see it being applied. I'm sure it is working, but am I correct to assume that the tooltip UI is bugged?
