I highly recommend reading the official game guide on Crate’s website [the incredibly excellent Grim Tools [for more information and the chance to really dig into the details of the game. I will not go into item-granted skills or in depth into the constellations on the devotion tree, because there are already good guides for that. To aid in this monumental decision, I’ve listed below every class and skill in the game, its basic characteristics, and a brief overview of why you might want to use it.
Worry not, we’ve all been there at the skills screen, wondering what the heck to do with those first three skill points or maybe even what the heck to pick as our first class. There are all these skills and nodes and lines connecting some of them and a big ol’ mess of stars that are grouped by color, and who even knows what a mastery bar is? Starting your first character in Grim Dawn can be daunting.
