MODS Subreddit policy discussion: Mod (modification) posts

63 Upvotes

How are people feeling about all the "I made a new mod!" posts lately?

Many of them pre-release and/or sketchy.

Many of their creators posting frequently.

Many of the vibe-coded or otherwise using AI-generated assets (e.g., voices trained on the voice actors to generate more without authorization).

Many of them getting reported, even multiple times.

What are the community's thoughts on these? Any suggested policies? (Including, "anything goes" if that is your preference.) I have some ideas, but I wanted to ask first.

TUTORIAL I grew tired of always digging through all the mobility augments and forgeting what level/type/damage combinations exist. So I made a spreadsheet. Enjoy.

BUILDS Your Top 10 Sets to collect and play?

4 Upvotes

​

Hey,

I managed to farm SR30/31 with my fire pet Conjurer (with beastcaller set) and now I got so many set pieces I don't know how to handle them all.

They look so well and interesting to make a new Char eg Cinderborn, Worldkeeper and Dawnbreaker, Dagalon set .. also my space is quite rare ;)

I wanted to know what are your top 10 Sets and for which build they are good?

HELP! How to farm sets/target gear

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I recently reached lvl 100 with my first character and played through the basegame campaign with relative ease on and I am doing ashes now (on Ultimate after skipping Elite).

I found 1-2 really good legendaries for my warlord but I also found a lot of "nonsense" so I was wondering if this is just part of the game or if there are ways to target farm / optimize the loot I get.

Thanks for any advice or tips in advance! :)

GOG key if anyone wants it

I meant to get it on Steam, bought for GOG by mistake. I’m looking to play with steam controller and steam deck so figured it’d be easier on Steam. Only costed £5 so not so bad.. Anyways here you go:

Any use for non-MI greens in end game?

6 Upvotes

As far as I understand so far - MI with the same affixes will always be better simply because it adds its base static bonuses?

Or do non-MI greens get better stats from the same affixes, e.g. Searing affix gives +50-75% fire damage for MI but +60-90% fire damage to non-MI?

Or something like that to make non-MI greens more useful outside of early levelling when you simply didn't find MI replacements yet?
(I don't include craftable greens here, as they are a special case)

Just like ascended affixes can be better for yellows (and maybe greens?)

Update @ 6:03am EST US:

Thank you guys. It seems to be back up for me now. I was trying to load the site for about 12 mins. before I made my post.

I checked isitdownrightnow.com and the domain is up. grimtools.com replies to ping but the www via http and https never loads. I've checked my internet connection and everything is good.

BUILDS How to Move Faster? (I feel so slow)

7 Upvotes

Hi all!

Starting off by saying I’ve played for a while but never made it past act 4. I really like this game, but I always burn out in the mid-early game because I feel like I’m just not loving the class/combo I picked.

I really loved MC dungeons and Diablo 3, games where you could end up moving really fast (like barb with leap or witch doctor with funny chicken lol). Are there builds like that? I’d love an equivalent barb leap build lol, fast movement, good melee, aoe, and damage.

I just feel so planted on the ground and very slow and anchored. I gotta go fast man!!

Any help or guidance is appreciated :)

HELP! How do bonus Onslaught Stacks (from items) work?

4 Upvotes

Here's my guess, want to confirm.

  • They work even if you're not a Berzerker.
  • One use of the ability puts you at the listed stacks and no higher.
  • If you are a Berzerker, leveling up Onslaught increases your maximum stacks.

Is this correct?


r/Grimdawn • • 1d ago

I just bought the game and having a blast! Is it worth purchasing the DLCs straight away or shall I finish the story first?

9 Upvotes

As per title, I just bought the game and playing on my first Normal playthrough.

Am I missing anything by not owning the DLCs from day 1? When does it make sense for me to purchase them?

Also, where can I find tips or builds for the base game? I tried using grimtools but I don't even understand how to use it?

Edit: thank you all for the inputs! You guys are awesome (not used to communities that are this friendly lol)

Is Conjure Primal Spirit worth it with this build? I can beat every Nemesis boss on Ascendant mode except the Dread.

1 Upvotes

I am playing a Conjurer and just recently found the Ravager's Barb which summons 2 Primal Spirits instead of just one (giving them -40% to their damage as well) and am using it alongside some items that reduce the cost and cooldown of the skill so it only has a downtime of 4.8 seconds. What in my build is keeping me from killing the Dread, have I made an bad mistakes with my build?

I can't fight this dude, so my plan is to drag the Scion of the Sand from Korvan Sands to the Conclave of the Three, hoping someone there is strong enough to help me. No one, zero, extends a helping hand.

SEASON Seqson builds

5 Upvotes

So the season has been going on for a few days. What are some cool starter builds that have been working for yall?

I am particularily interested at looking at builds that are green heavy and reliable to put together (low amount of random drop purples) and even more ideally using season items!

I've been playing poison aegis sentinel with skull of the realm and it smacks!

good luck fellow taken!

edit: I proofread all the text and just noticed I have a typo in the title 😭

Returning Player Question

5 Upvotes

I’m one of the people that tried to make grim dawn click multiple times (125 hrs)

To all the new players in the same position, the game starts to feel much better after level 50 and ultimate difficulty.

To the vets, now that I’ve discovered this, I’m at a crossroads. I’d like to get a maxed character online so I can unlock faster alt progression. The only character I have above level 50 is a Forcewave DK (69) currently at blood grove on ultimate, after that Pierce Blasemaster (47), and a bunch of 30 something’s.

I’m not sure how many more hours the DK is away from 94 progression wise, so I’d like to know if it’s worth sticking with the DK to max level in order to make alt progression smoother even if I’m not crazy about the forcewave spam? Or if I’ve got a long ways to max from 69 and I’d be better off maxing a character I enjoy the play style of from scratch

I didn’t particularly enjoy normal difficulty, but I do not mind speed running it

TUTORIAL What actually scales off of off-hand damage?

14 Upvotes

I couldn't find an easy answer, so I decided to research this topic at least a little, in case somebody else stumbles upon this from some google search or other.

Here's what I found (but did not always personally verify):

  • All attack replacers gain full benefit from off-hand weapons, including Troll Rage and Beronath's Fury.
  • All attack pool abilities claim to gain full benefit from off-hand weapons, including Oleron's Might and Burning Void. Notably, this includes Feral Hunger and Upheaval (which cannot normally be used while dual-wielding as they require a 2h weapon), as well as Smite (which works with a shield but I am yet to test to see if it actually works with two weapons) and Shattering Smash (which requires a shield)
  • Blitz and charge-style glyph powers do not include off-hand damage, unless it's a shield.
  • Vire's Might and rush-style glyph powers do not include off-hand damage, unless it's a shield.
  • Shadow Strike and teleport attack-style glyph powers do include off-hand damage.
  • Leap does include off-hand damage, but leap-style glyph powers do not include it.

Most other weapon-scaling abilities do not include off-hand damage, with some notable exceptions:

  • Feral Claws and Rip and Tear, the Werewolf sub-abilities, do include off-hand damage.
  • Primal Strike does include off-hand damage, even though it normally requires a 2h weapon.
  • Ring of Steel does include off-hand damage, which would make sense for a Nightblade ability, except Phantasmal Blades does not include off-hand damage, and Amarasta's Blade Burst, if the tooltip is to be believed, scales only off your off-hand damage if you're dual-wielding.
  • Eye of Reckoning does include off-hand damage.

BUILDS Bleed blademaster

Mucking around with a bleed blademaster, but when I look at my options for resistance shred, it seems I've only got devotions and the mutator node on warcry.

Is it worth pushing this in late game? Looks like damage will fall off a cliff

Sorry for the common display of pointless achiev but after several years of playing here and there and 2 losses of my save files (my fault) could have never believed I would get em all. Especially since i never played HC before FoA.

So just wanted to share my happiness towards my favourite game :D

Last achiev of course was killing 250k monsters. As an alt enjoyer my most played char had 180k.
