Its like titan quest, except its quicker

Its definitely a better sequel to diablo 2 than diablo 3 still not as good as diabnlo 2

>Do you like grinding forever?

There is grinding in it, although imo there's less than there is in diablo 2 and significantly less than there is in PoE

Rather its all too easy to get all the shit in the game and it only takes a few days to fully level a character, especially after running fully through with one character and get that gear that increases exp gain

Still, the biggest disappointing thing in it is the build variations, most of the builds that will push you to the end of the game require certain sets that you can only get around lvl 50~ meaning starting new characters can become a drag once you've finished the first difficulty if you're dumb enough to build your character right at the start instead of choosing an easier early game build

Its sounds worse than it actually is, rather its the fact that you NEED certain items to actually get to the end of the game that annoys me

In diablo all you needed was good items that supported your build, in Grim Dawn you have to get specific items or try and grind for a magic item with an extremely hard to find prefix to maximize your character

I should probably mention that finding the items with the right prefix is by far the hardest grind to do in the game, and you're nearly always better trying for legendary sets instead

I should probably also mention that the endgame I'm thinking of is getting 170+ in crucible which is DLC worth around $0.5 imo

>Albrecht's Aether Ray: significantly increased turn rate while channeling this skill and increased beam speed. Increased base damage and damage scaling with rank, particularly at ultimate ranks. Reduced base Energy Cost by 3.

Hell yes, time to dust off my Arcanist

>>15863569

Got experience with using the two new classes as support for Arcanist? I have trouble deciding which one to go for.

<Spellbinder

>Spectral Binding for damage

>Spectral Wrath for resistance reduction

>Ravenous Earth/Decay for devotion procs and enemy damage reduction

>Mark of Torment for defence against bosses

<Mage Hunter

>Deadly Aim for damage

>Death Sentence for resistance reduction

>Storm Box for devotion procs

>Word of Renewal/Vigor and Inquisitor Seal for defence

> I'd already forgotten about all the bosses except the final boss

Not sure about you anon, but i found a few of them memorable

Mainly the bug queen and the warden, although that might be because they sort of reminded me of the butcher and the maggot queen from D2

Still the end boss is pretty unforgettable for being a giant vagina

>The areas were super repetitive and the enemies felt more like random crap you plowed through instead of actual threats

Did you play retaliation soldier?

Because the soldier class is pretty much the only one i can think of that would make most of the enemies in the game not a threat as well as make everything a drag

I mean supposedly the next expansion will add a class that adds retaliation damage to attack which would make the soldier significantly more active solider will always be the most OP class in the game

>The terrain and graphics in general suffered from poor art direction

that's garbage, not the graphics part but the terrain was pretty gud, My only problem was that all the undead dungeons looked the same with pretty much the same units; skeletons and ghosts.

>The loot was uninteresting and I never felt excited about picking up stuff off of the ground and seeing if it'd be an upgrade or not

You don't need to pick it up anon, you just need to put your mouse over it an it will compare you're current equipment to it

Also the loot was a lot better than the shit in PoE and Diablo 3

>The combat was easy and I don't even think I died during my playthrough

did you try going past normal difficulty?

Because almost every class becomes a glass cannon in the final difficulty except for soldier
