Chrona 82 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I hate the aggro system in this game, it basically sucks! Your pets hardly draw anything to them. You can run around in a circle while they attack and everything tends to ignore them my petbuild is in ultimate you can solve the problem-> Rotation: Curse of Frailty - Grasping Vines - Pet Attack command - Blood of Dreeg will keep them alive Pet setting: Familiar -> normal Hellhound, Briathorn, Revenant, Primal -> aggressive Link to comment
CoolColJ 87 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Really nice stash managing program - sure beats my batch file method http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30848 Link to comment
CoolColJ 87 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) BTW here is a simple Autohotkey script to make it spam Spirits or whatever skill you need to on a timer. Just adjust that time to perfectly match whatever cooldown you needPress Scroll Lock key to activate/deactivateEdit the key it sends to Grim Dawn as necessary.Can be tweaked to have more than one. Also works well in Diablo 3 After you edit the #IfwinActive part to D3 #IfWinActive, Grim Dawn SetTimer Click, 100 Scrolllock::Toggle := !Toggle ; Scroll Lock key turns on/off Click: If (!Toggle) Return Send {left down} ; sends a Left arrow to Grim Dawn, replace with whatever key you use for your skill sleep 100 Send {left up} sleep 2600 ; sets cooldown to 2.6 sec, adjust as necesssary return Edited February 16, 2016 by CoolColJ Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 The Stash mod is a life saver for me....I hoard and then hoard some more....I have 6-7 copies of many unique or legendary items....many I'll probably never use but will eventually dismantle at some point (I must have 200 dynamite sitting doing nothing) My Cold based build is freaking awesome.....was worried about all the cold resistant enemies in Act 4 but not really any problems so far...have so many procs going off that I might repsec some Devotion points to other areas....have no more offensive skills to bind to another Devotion skill and want a few more constellations that have them. Just pushed through Elite last night...might take a break and try out my reflect/retaliation build over the weekend 1 Link to comment
CoolColJ 87 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Looks like the aggro system is getting fixed! According to Nine from his stream: Right now mobs have an internal ability that is basically "add x aggro to the player." The problem is that the cooldown on this ability is super low. So a mob sees you, starts "spamming" this "ability" on you, and you quickly get cemented at the top of its aggro list with an ever-growing lead as it continues to use the ability. This is also why pet taunts are currently worthless. They have lengthy cooldowns and there is no way they can ever compete with the aggro generated by this ability enemies have. In B31 they have adjusted the cooldown so mobs can no longer simply spam it constantly. I'm guessing there are some more intricacies, as this doesn't explain why some mobs target you immediately and others will initially target the pet. From his stream, occasionally he got aggro, (which pets were able to steal back.) Largely, gameplay consisted of casting stuff to proc devotions while following behind his army of ravenous minions as they wrecked Ultimate. It was basically how you would expect a "pet class" to work. The stream http://www.twitch.tv/ninetrix Link to comment

Chrona 82 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 great patch took me a while to find my way to twin falls again full release on friday-> next weekend will be a good time to start hc again (fresh- will delete all hc toons) Link to comment
CoolColJ 87 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Holy hell this combo is a lot of fun! - new Mortar proc'ing Elemental Storm, Thermite mines fullly upgraded plus Black Water cocktails proccing Meteor Shower on the Demo side, plus Vindictive flame also maxed, plus some Blast shield And Flash freeze maxed on the Arcanist side for crowd control and fire debuff. And Elemental Exchange to convert some of the physical damage and energy regen It's like an artillery barrage build I have some free points so I might add in Trozan Sky shard... mainly for the extra freeze Edited February 23, 2016 by CoolColJ Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 I've got a few video glitches (mostly just the new character intro) but my god do the areas and skills and procs look awesome I hate comparing games but D3 got the animation right and that was the first game I thought of after playing B31. Game simply looks great. Yeah they changed up Act 2 pathways quite a bit. There is no overland route any more between Old Arkovia and Broken Hills. Have to go through Cronley's Hideout now....The exit has been moved Link to comment
CoolColJ 87 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) BTW there are 2 Target Dummies in Devil Crossing, and elsewhere You can use the Pet Target command on them for Pets and Mortar etc to check damage Also hold down Pet Attack key to make the Mortar Spam - might be a glitch though!

Flix 5,116 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Just fired up this game again for the first time since 27, taking a Battlemage through this time around. Only made it to Burial Hill so far, but... Holy cow, did this game get improved and fleshed out! I'm blown away. I'm not a Diablo 3-hater by any means, but I feel like this is the game I expected Diablo 3 to be. 1 Link to comment

Dorimil 224 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 we will see on Thursday how it effects in HC. We are heading up to Homestead atm. probably we will use some twinks to try out the new build, whre it doesn't matter if they die... I started the game yesterday evening...but it took quite some minutes to collect all the achievements... 1 Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 ...but it took quite some minutes to collect all the achievements... Oh man...yeah the first few minutes were achievement after achievement lol... Looks like my cold build took quite a hit.....real squishy now in Elite...might have to restart (though I think I want to anyways...got a hopefully better version of it......I think) Link to comment
Dorimil 224 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 We started a new char to be sure not to be surprised by anything new in the game, but nothing critically happened. still enyoiing the game and the new/old HC-Feeling 1 Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 So addicted to this game right now. My Battlemage has made it to Act 3 Normal, level 38. Died twice so far, once to the Steps of Torment boss (too many minions ganged up on me) and once in the Conflagration (thought I could run through it without chugging a Spiritbane potion). Otherwise my build feels pretty solid and I'm just following my gut and common sense on building him. Only need healing potions for bosses and never ever used a mana potion despite spamming skills constantly. I'm working on fire, physical, and aether damage, so right now I'm aiming to get the Empyrion constellation (drool). 1 Link to comment
Popular Post Knuckles 904 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2016 Got a level 55 Commando I've been working on the last few days, mostly by accident. I found this sweet double rare 2H axe perfect for a fire/phys build. So naturally I had to see how it actually performed. Melee 2H Fire Strike with Blitz...Also have Vindictive Flame, Flame Touched and Field Command as primary passives. And I am just wrecking stuff. Once I got the Devotion Maul on my FS I hardly use Blitz and just might spec out of it. Sometimes I don't even get to swing before the enemies die. VF and FT together are quite the combo. Cleared Steps of Torment at level 21...and never went below 50% health (got a few HP regen Devotions going). Using only self-found so far. Oh about that sweeeeeeet 2H axe...........not really all that great...by the time I was high enough level to use, my current weapon was 250 DPS better Maybe someday I'll get a build to 85 without getting distracted....oooooh a squirrel ! 2 Link to comment
Dorimil 224 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 btw...Gamestar voted the game with 86%, which is imho fair. they compared it with TQ and with Sacred and of course with Diablo 2. at the end...if you love this three games, you "must" buy GD! the critics uopn the MP is okay. we also got laggs and game crashes in MP, especially since release, but haven't loose a char by that so far (which is important in HC). but with the last updates and the changes of the map, it was a big step to higher the athmosphere of the game.

CoolColJ 87 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) Rocking my Flash Freeze, Mortar and Thermite mines build into act 4 now. Also Black water cocktail and Fire Blast for proc'ing Near 7k HP, and good resists at level 45. I look for HP on gear. Feels pretty tanky and kills fast. I have +1 to Mortar on a gear, so I can now have 2 mortars out since I'm over the max level. Skills stay up for a while, so less need to spam. And I can run around, while my mortars hammer the enemey. Plus it seems the AI likes to avoid the Thermite mines, so they spend a bit of time moving around instead of dealing DPS Edited March 7, 2016 by CoolColJ Link to comment
Chrona 82 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 my new vitality caster is in act 4 ultimate now-> 0 death -> we'll see what log will do looks like I've found my first build for a fresh hc start great found today (for my level 81 summoner): Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Had to figure out what you had there Chrona..so did a quick Google...luckily Og'Napesh is a very uncommon word Black Grimoire of Og'Napesh Nice find Link to comment
CoolColJ 87 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) I have one of those as well for my Summoner, for when he reaches lv 40 I found one these today https://gracefuldusk.appspot.com/items/8487-Infernal-Brimstone Will go nicely for my current Mortar Thermite mine build Sorcerer Although it's a 2 hander... Mortar procs Meteor, Mines proc Fissure, and the item adds another Rain of Fire skill, proc'ing off a crit! It's an artillery barrage --- Edit - also from testing if you have 2 of the component skills, they have their own cooldown, so you if duel wieild, you can have 2 Dreeg's Infinite Eye, and alternate cast for chain casting! Gives me an idea to make a build where I stand in A Sigil of Consumption proc'ing Guardian's Gaze, and cast DIG Edited March 8, 2016 by CoolColJ Link to comment
