Not only is this build fun to play, it’s great for hardcore! It’s also fairly easy to farm some great weapons one can use prior to the end-game best-in slot (BiS). Yes, Pierce does more damage, but it simply does not have the survival of the cold version. It’s rare to get big spikes (as one does with leech-only based builds) because of the dodge, seal, cold and leeching. This build is cold focused, which helps with survival (if an enemy is frozen or slowed down, it can’t do the damage it would otherwise do), and it’s a lot of fun. One of the reason Infiltrators are so highly rated is because they scale amazingly with the right gear, and are capable of dishing out some serious damage while also avoiding harm through a combination of methods.
New players are often deterred from playing them because it’s confusing what order to take skills while leveling, and how to optimize the build at end-game.
Infiltrators are some of the strongest yet most complex builds in the game.
JAN 2020 UPDATE! Click here to see a detailed announcement by the Guide Creator about the issues he encountered with the Grim Dawn Community, Forum Moderators and why he moved his guides from the Grim Dawn Forums. This build is great for new players, a top melee build, tanky, is solid at killing bosses and mopping up trash, and can easily farm Ultimate with self-found drops. If you’re looking for a fun melee dual wield cold stabbing build that can do all content, this is the place! Note the GrimTools links are available at the bottom of the guide.
