Grim Dawn 1.2 Beginner Guide - Cold Dual Wield Reaper [HC viable]

Generic Beginner Guide video & Build Guide Update to my Soulrend Reaper are coming soon.

Hi ther great video, i noticed that in u lvl 100 GT link , the off hand conponent u replaced Shard of Benorath for Coldstobe , is that intencional ?

hi quick question Malkhdarr dosn't spawn anymore ( im in eltie difficulty and still ally with the choosen ) so i can't farm the elite version of the weapon ..

First of all, thanks a lot for the guide!! It’s my first time playing the game and it’s been very useful. Unfortunately i pooped the bed and put some in necro before the death’s vigil quest and cannot go back, what weapons would you recommend?

I messed up and I didn't chose kymons chosen faction, are there any other great swords that I can get instead of those recommended?

What other class can I select other than necromancer because I don't own the DLC

This build is making you really squishy... I have randomly died from Elits more then once. Im level 33 atm. The damage is fine tho.

"A lot more interesting"
Translation: super hard for us plebs

"Is Kymon the only important faction to side with? Do the others not matter? I'm afraid of aligning with the wrong faction and ruining the build or something like that. I don't understand something about factions... if I ally with Kymon's Chosen in 'normal' difficulty as an assassin and then switch to the necromancer class, is everything okay? BUT when I change the difficulty to elite or ultimate, the faction resets if I'm not mistaken. So, how can I ally with Kymon's Chosen again if I'm already a necromancer?"

Hi why you remove skill points in amastara blade burst at lvl 33? what am i supposed to use then?

What addons (mods) do you recoomend for using ?

Do you have an opinion on the Reapers touch axe? (im noob). I got it early and still havent replaced it at level 40. Seems to be absolutely perfect for this build. Didnt see anything about it in the guide and thought I would ask.

I farmed until lvl 30 in coliseum and each level I'm getting even more whacked by random white mobs, what a weird game

Great guide! How do you prioritize Necro over Arcanist as second class? For me it seems the Reaper dishes out a bit more damage, but the Spellbreaker is a lot tankier. Coming back to GD after spending about 800h til 2020, so I have a lot of gear to work with. Ty in advance for your answer!

why not use shadow strike as main dmg ability?

hey can this be used to level for your "Chillwhisper Reaper" ?

Great, detailed guide. Are you going to post more in the future?

Krig two shots me.

hi i forgot to not pick necromancer before going to homested so what now ?

Thank you soo much

Thanks for the guide I will definitely try this in HC but, I would side with Order and use the 2h Pierce Tactician to "farm" the Order's items... SHAREDSTASHFORTHEWIN!!!

Ты проделал такую огромную работу. Спасибо!

Haven't played GD for over a year, coming back for 1.2 and rektoss still got the best build guides and playthroughs out there. Keep up the good work, it is very much appreciated!

rekt does what sinitdon't

this is my first walkthrough and your guide is awesome

I don't like damage type convertion builds but seeing how easily obtainable reaper equipment is I'll give this build a shot. Ow the edge

Do we know when 1.2 releases? My friends are gonna jump back on. Also I already have a level 100 reaper so im gonna try this

Hey, i really like your videos you explain it all so well. I have two questions (not really related to the video):
1. Is the Boss in the four hills fighting pit named after you, or did you name yourself after him?
2. Some question about fire strike and WPS (couldnt find an answer anywhere), so it seems like if Fire strike is used with an AEO/Piercing WPS (like Bursting Round/Chilling Round) it seems like every target hit creates its own explosive strike and brimstone effect, is this correct? And how is it with the damage of Explosive Strike/Brimstone, is it amplified by the WPS (some people suspectits an extra effect that isnt amplified by the WPS just procs on every target hit, but i havent found someone that could give a clear answer, maybe you can)
sorry if those are answered somewhere, sadly i cant watch all of your videos

@rektbyprotoss ty for the great video, can you please share a link to the rainbow filter you have been using in 1.2 beta? The one I tried was giving me error messages instead of cooldown numbers, so I'd be very grateful to get the one working

Thanks. This complement very well with the fresh start series. It's hard at first watching the series because I don't know why certain decisions were made.

Was there a patch that changed the look of the drops or is that an addon? I see little icons next to some items on the ground and different colours used in the titles.

Nice one. Top tier guide as usual.

Nice guide :) Minor thing, "chitin" is pronounced like "kai-ten", because English ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I never noticed when you kill lokarr’s john bourbon there’s a wilhelm scream? I know they included this reference in another part of the game (:D) but this is kinda funny

The “Assassin build”, props to sinitar Top G

Literally the best GD build video I have seen yet. Informative, to the point, and relevant w/out any rambling like every. other. video. so far. While English is obviously not your 1st language, you are far more articulate and coherent than your peers. By a wide margin. Thank you.

hi, I started new gameplay with Blademaster (took soldier for survivability), reached lvl 25 so far, I wanted to play fast dual wielding blade dancing character, with physical / pierce damage focus.
Then I started getting good cold damage items, and started increasing Veil of Shadow and Night's Chill for aoe aura damage, how good are those skills ?

also I'm a little confused how to play auto-attack oriented Nightblade, I went for soldier-blademaster to use cadence but figured I'd deal much more with Amarasta Blade Burst now that I have more cold damage.

Patch is out?
