Grim Misadventure #49: Skills be Changin'

Grim Misadventures, reporting in. Today’s update is on a new type of skill-modifiers we have dubbed Transmuters.

For the uninitiated, Grim Dawn currently features three types of skills: Active, Passive and Modifier. Active skills are those that, as the name implies, require active use by the player. They go on your skill bar and are manually activated. Passive skills are those that always provide their benefits and generally provide bonuses such as damage, resistances or even chance on attack effects. The last type of skill, Modifier, alters the behavior of Active and Passive skills by adding additional effects, such as an extra explosion to a spell, or extra poison damage to a blade attack.

Transmuters are a special class of Modifiers as they do not represent an obvious gain in power. Instead, they provide interesting trade-offs that can dramatically alter the way you use the skill. The goal for this fun new addition is to provide even more interesting build possibilities as well as to give players with even more flexibility as to how they use certain skills. Each Mastery will feature 3-4 such Transmuters.
