Is there a way to change my picked classes?

[XDeadzX]

I'm part way through the story and don't wish to replay it, but I also just picked up the expansion and would very much like to swap my Occultist spec with the Necromancer because it appeals to me more than occultist does. Is there some way to switch natively ingame that I haven't seen yet? Or is there some way to use a save editor to switch it? I tried Grim Dawn Stash editor, but it doesn't let me switch classes. And GD Defilier doesn't load my saves at all.

I don't want levels or items or anything, just to swap my class picks.

Edit: I ended up using GD-Edit and was able to easily swap from occutist to necromancer without having any other things affected by the change. Now I get to enjoy some undead slaves while gunslinging and throwing explosives instead of summoning beasts.

No, unless you use a mod or a trainer.

I mentioned that, but the two popular mod/save editors don't work. Would a trainer let me reset skills? I haven't seen any discussion on that. If you have the name of one, it'd be appreciated.

Well, if you have put all your points into Occultist, you can go to the trainer in Devil's Crossing and reset every point (skills+mastery bar). Keep in mnd that you will still have 1 point in Occultist then and if you choose a second mastery, you will play with a hybrid class (Occultist+Necromancer=Cabalist I think). But you don't have to put any points in occultist though, so that should not matter.

Nah I'm a pyromancer with occultist+demolitionist already, with a dozen points in each. So the only way I could go about doing it would be to reset my character completely by making a new one? No way to swap classes?

I don't want to be offensive or rude, but such Topics quite make me said. Yeah every player have his own Playstyle, but this Genre lives in it's replaybility. What's the weakest Point about Diablo 3 compared to diablo 2? It misses a lot of replaybility due now proper Character-Customization/Building Aspect. Now we have GD with proper Building-Aspect and people want to simply "swap" classes <.< If that would be "official" introduced, it would kill a core aspect of this Games and would hurt the replaybility massive. And no i don't want to lecture, only state my Opinion...

So to your Question: Officially now - there isn't any way to change these (luckily)... how it is with third party tools, idk..

GD Stash DOES let you change your class. You're just doing it wrong. In game, take out all the points in your unwanted mastery and lower it to 1. Then, go to GD stash and set that mastery to 0 and put 1 point into your unassigned skill points. When you go back to the game and load your character, you will be prompted to select a second mastery as if you had not chosen one.

A main point to you, maybe. Get over yourself. I've got a thousand+ hours in Diablo 3, it has plenty of replayability. I simply don't want to replay my first part of the playthrough of the story. Grim Dawn is not my main title, I'm not very high level, it's just saving a hour or two's time in a game I don't plan on playing multiple single-player playthroughs of. If I actually cared about playing with randoms, I wouldn't do it. Woopdie doo, I'm enhancing my singleplayer experience.

Thanks, I couldn't get it to load my character at all. It's reading it as a hardcore character and as a level 1, and it doesn't have a skill tree selected. So not sure what's up with that, I might have done something else wrong too. But I appreciate the support.

I ended up getting GD-Edit to work, I was having a save game conflict but as soon as I moved my save file out and back into the folder it worked and I was able to swap from occultist to necromancer without affecting anything else. It gave me back the proper skill point count and everything, perfect. Now I can enjoy some undead slaves while gunslinging explosives instead of summoning beasts.

No, and you're a bad person for asking.

Yes there is and you're a garbage person for insulting someone over how I care to enjoy a singleplayer game.

Hay guise do you know sweet singleplayer games? Tell me now of all the mods so I can make it as little like itself as possible.

Crate openly supports modding of GD, so what exactly is your problem?

LMAO, have you never played a game with mods before? Do you even PC game? What is it that you don't understand?

Because letting me swap classes to avoid replaying the part of the story I've played ruins the story, and completely ruins any replayability by having me grind gear, reach max level, enjoy alts, or even complete the game a second time on a much higher difficulty? (Most of which I'm not actually going to do before shelving the game?)

It's not like I've leveled up to max, found some really good gear and am now requesting to switch classes to play with my new OP gear. If I wanted an "authentic experience" I could have easily asked for someone to powerlevel me which is widely accepted in ARPG games as non-game-changing.

I'm sure if I wanted to, I could find some nice cheats that negate leveling, give me the best gear in the game, and let me have every skill in the game at once. Or maybe I could just add Thomas the Tank Engine to the game link in Skyrim, eh?

They better ban the forums then for promoting changing the game then! http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=35

Thank you though, I appreciate the help in answering my question.

Which is super shocking, he has a ton of hours in Dawn of War 2, a game which the majority of it's multiplayer community has been running on a modded version for years. Also near a thousand hours of Binding of Isaac, a game which prides it's workshop integration to enhance or alter your experience after your first hundred hours. Darkest dungeon too, all of them right at the top of his list.


Would be a real shame if he never touched the workshop out of fear it'll "make it as little like itself as possible" by maybe adding a few neat tweaks.
