WPS can have base flat DoT damage, such as Nidalla’s hidden hand, which applies flat poison damage to 3 nightblade WPS skills. However, it is unclear if flat damage (666 X Damage to) applies to spells or is only good for melee attacks. Flat damage, including damage over time bonuses, is applied through Weapon Damage on attacks or spells at the multiplicative level.
Damage on equipment comes in two forms: Flat Damage and Percent Damage. Flat Damage applies only to weapon attacks and does not increase the damage from skills unless they include a Weapon Damage component. “X chance of DoT damage” is a form of Flat DoT damage that is only applied to weapon damage (and skills that deal weapon damage).
The amount of flat damage on items, skills, and devotions is with the damage modifiers already taken into the equation. According to the game guide, flat damage from equipment only affects weapon attacks. The guide makes no mention of flat damage bonuses from skills.
Damage on equipment comes in two forms: Flat Damage and Percent Damage. Flat Damage applies only to weapon attacks and does not increase the damage from skills. It is priority for high attack speed weapon damage builds. Spells without weapon damage do not benefit from it at all.
In conclusion, flat damage is applied to weapon attacks and does not increase the damage from skills unless they include a Weapon Damage component.

Lightning is a powerful natural phenomenon that can cause significant damage to electrical systems and components. There are four main types of lightning damage: Physical Damage, Secondary Effect Damage, Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Damage, and Ground Reference Potential Charge Damage.

📹 Grim Dawn – How to wreck your build – Part 1 – Avoid these mistakes – New Player Guide – 2022
Demonstrating some basic mistakes that are easy to make and also easy to avoid … but the game doesn’t tell you this stuff.
Another important aspect of this tip, call it tip adjacent, is that your DPS in first tab is not always indicative of skill based damage. So, for example, my DPS might be 360 but my skill damage (if I put it on the right mouse button) might be much higher or lower dependent on my gear and other considerations. Because that DPS number tends to reflect the amount of damage you are doing when swinging or firing a weapon and doesn’t necessarily take into account direct damage skills. I don’t know if I explained that super well but basically always check you direct damage from skills on right mouse button and don’t rely on what the DPS is telling you that you are doing especially if you are a caster or pet build.
Yesterday I was googling how to determine what to look at for damage increases and didn’t find an answer. I gave up and though it turned out I was correct, I was unsure and uneasy about deleting certain items. Luckily your article randomly popped up. The skill button switch will be something I’ll be using in the future also. Thanks for all the years of great info and builds. We definitely appreciate it. 👍
I was just thinking that every weapon already shows the damage difference, and it’s nice, but not the rest of the gear. So yeah, you have to resort to that second tab. Also weird thing is that left click move has namelocking on it for some reason. So once you move on top of the monster, it gets selected, and you get stuck in it. I would assume that leftclick move would have the opposite intention of moving ignoring everything, like in PoE, but it doesn’t work that way. That’s just some weird things I discovered on my third day of playing Grim Dawn.
Currently envious of that 120% attack speed since mine is sitting on 84% (level 25 primal strike elementalist)… I have no idea how, didn’t even know that was possible. Good tip btw, I always use that to check for my main non weapon damage, right mouse button to check, even though I am using a controller to play.
I feel like only the mastery selection and to a lesser degree the ability point allocation are the only ones that you listed that can actually “wreck your build”. The others can be fixed by respecing/regearing and ability points can eventually be corrected though this will take many levels. Would have been good if you could have mentioned this. Though to be fair these are all problems for new players and good that you bring them up. I was actually expecting some discussion about the story choices that can lock you out of factions (gear/augments), dungeons (gear), etc that if done on the final difficulty can mean that some end game builds will actually be impossible.
So, I’ve got 3 builds for the league coming up, each using a new MI. 1. Callidor tempest Mage hunter. Primary MIs: S4 weapon, s3 shield, base medal to make Calli all lightning damage and cut the spam cost in half. Pros: high damage reduction (flat and percent), shield block, decent life, decent phys res, huge damage. Cons: it’s callidor’s tempest and I’m stuck in place for damage with no bonus movement ability. 2: Winter Thor Archon! Primary MI: 2H mace/troll club Pros: cold avengers shield with a 2h weapon (3x damage of a shield), perma wind devil, flat 50% phys and lightning converted to cold, high hp and the freedom to do whatever else with the build (playing pets focus with spam component chain lightning) Cons: pretty squishy the way I set it up, designed to hit and run, so not ideal for hc. 3. Block-master defiler MIs: S4 shield that gives 12% chance to block, 40% damage blocked and 45% ele to aether to spec binding, and 12% block chance, 35% block recovery and 50% ele to aether to flame touched. Bonus MI for my version: s3 pistol that turns reaping strike to 100% aether for firestrike (100% aether) goodness. Pros: 3.4k shield block at 63% chance with .4sec recharge, ranged playstyle, an oh crap button, high phys res, high life leech and RR out the butt. Cons: probably low damage without good MI rolls (untested, so maybe), low mobility and aoe isn’t the best. I’m probably going to stick with the Calli build, d2 lightning nova here I come! Tho all will be played at some point.
I’m my own worst enemy at times, mainly due to impatience. One of my worst habits is looking at my resistances, seeing they are inadequate and ploughing on regardless with a f’ it attitude. (And then promptly having an enemy put me in my place.) Dumbest thing I’ve done is level a HC character to 80, decided I was “bored” of the build and then completely respec’d into something I am not geared for. Naturally it was totally scuffed. I didn’t even give him the dignity of a warriors death. Simply abandoned and eventually deleted. So yeah. How to wreck your build: be as impatient as humanly possible.
Part 2: all your gear and abilities buff one type of damage, then equip an MI that converts all your damage to a different damage type … I have never done that before … 🤥😜 Put 0 points in spirit and wonder why you always have energy problems. (I’d consider about 2 to 5 points as you’re leveling)
never in my time since fröggäir have i played something feeling so örgänic?.. just to raise chars etc. only comparable with hundredds?? off hours similarlie or half as gr8 seems F76… but those expensive cards… lvl ´3400 ?xD shootist and nightblade fe nowhere nears as good as double ranged class cömbö ! hardcore arpg vv still waiting for a mix of darkest dungeon and vicilizatiön ^^
