GRIM DAWN / BUILDS / BY MASTERY

Builds by Mastery

Every build on this site grouped by mastery. Each build uses two masteries, so it appears twice and the totals come to 88.

Last updated: 2026-08-28
HOW TO READ THIS
  • ▸The order is how many builds this site currently carries per mastery, not a strength ranking.
  • ▸A low count means this site has not written those builds yet - it says nothing about the mastery itself. What each mastery is good at is covered in the Mastery articles.
  • ▸To see which two masteries form a given class name, use the Class Combinations page.
