[Grim Dawn] Beginner guide - Episode 1 Elementalist

[@stujd1539]

Great to finally see someone demonstrate the Shaman. I've created other character classes but keep coming back to the two-handed ranged attack Shaman with Arcanist as 2nd class before the expansion and Inquisitor with AoM. Preferred skills are Primal Strike and all the buffs as LMC and Grasping Vines with all buffs as RMC. I max out Grasping Vines as soon as possible as it stops the crowds literally in their tracks at range and with increasing area, and breaks all creates, barrels, crumbling walls, etc., with ONE click. After that I get Briarthorn, Wendigo Totem, Storm Totem, Wind Devil, Brute Force and a few others such as Mogdren's Pact. A lot of the time I can send off my arsenal and pick off any that get through. Requires a lot of kiting around with the bosses. Later on the Silvercore Bolter is a crossbow that adds 2 skill points to all Shaman skills.

Not making fun of your spelling Sharman just made me laugh so hard.

[@stujd1539]

Doh, typo. Lol! Quickly edited.

[@greymark420]

Great idea Mike, will be watching.

[@wastelander007]

Thanks for this. Have been looking for more info on early game. Like to see more of these if you have time.

[@Dirkei]

I started running the same build two weeks ago. It's a lot of fun

[@timjmill]

Looking forward to the next one.

Hey! Just found your channel and I really like it. Great stuff, very informative and well presented. I have put into GD over 340h but never got to max level:) Started so many characters for testing, never finishing even one. Now i'am focused on a commando build which is classic sword and shield physical/trauma/pierce retaliation (95% soldier and 5% demo). Going for the Markovian set but i found only one piece so far. I read that Crucible is a good way to farm items so i bought it today and started farming with little succes:) Love the game but it's so time consuming and i really can't be sure if i ever get the gear i need. And there are still so many builds i'd like to play with. You know, first world problems;)

[@Mikey92186]

Grim Dawn is not a race by any means and go at your own pace. Let me know how everything turns out!

[@usscheyenne688i]

This new series got me inspired so i also started a new playthrough with shaman. I already have some nice high level gear for him so this should be fun. Plus i never really played a caster type character so it i'll be a nice change from my soldier.

[@daft4343]

Soo..this what you were working on the other day.. :) great to see another build in the werks!

[@Mikey92186]

Yes sir!

[@drharvey6245]

This seems really useful. I'm new to the game so I just want a build or two in which to farm up some of the sets / legendaries that will allow me to make more builds in the future. As already said by another commenter below - ALL the guides seem to just show - these are the Mythical Legendaries you need to do endgame. Nowhere does it ever really say - btw, without certain legendaries / relics the build is terrible / borderline unplayable in Ultimate. Looking forward to following along with you and having a build that can do Ultimate well enough to get at least some good gear to start off other builds down the line!

[@Mikey92186]

Very cool, yes this build will have great aoe and clear potential, and it will allow you to farm effectively. I appreciate the feedback and I hope it is helpful.

i just love 3D flying words intors! great video do some on death knight

[@bertmanize]

Mikey, a little correction here. You mentioned that a great aspect of Grim Dawn is that you can do quests and turn them in later, but this is not always the case. For instance if you don't talk to Barnabas first, you won't get the proper response in Homestead. Another example is Mogdrogen's Shrine. If you don't pick up the Rover quest first, you won't find the Stone in the Void. Anyway Wind Devil's are so much fun, add a little Rowan's Crown sauce to them and everything melts. Or are you going Ultos on them? Great Tornadovid, will be checking out the next one.

[@Mikey92186]

You are correct some quest do not work that way, and thanks for the comment and feedback :D

[@sergebricault1040]

Good idea for a new video-series. I'm actually thinking of going the HC way very soon, and while looking at your video, I was wondering what's your take on the "money" issue? In the video, you don't break all the breakables and you don't mention to pick-up every yellow and green you find to sell in town... Is it because it's not super-important to get money (iron bits), because maybe you don't need to buy a lot of stuff?

[@Mikey92186]

I don't typically have any issues with currency my self. But I do not respec often and I do pick up yellows until about 20, and then it is green items and up.

[@nooneandyou]

i need it thank you

[@NostraFnDamus]

This could be interesting. I'm not a total noob at Grim Dawn, I'm more interested in builds and tips for the mid game (I guess you could call it). Nearly all the guides out there are along the lines of "Yeah get these 6 specific mythical legendary items", presumably having to grind for 20 hours to get them, or they might never show up at all.

[@Mikey92186]

Yea the information is limited, so I am glad to do this and I hope it will be helpful for everyone watching. Thanks for the comment and feesback.

[@mauricionavarro8224]
