Demolitionist Class Name
Demolitionist

Demolitionist is a mastery in Grim Dawn that focuses on deployment of incendiary, explosive, and otherwise harmful munitions. While Demolitionists excel at range, none of their skills are weapon-dependent, so both melee and ranged builds can be made viable.

Lore[ | ]

Pyrotechnic masters of the imperial army, Demolitionists are part engineer, part sorcerer. They were used to break enemy ranks and breach fortifications with their devastating array of explosives and destructive magic. They usually prefer to fight at range, engaging enemies with guns, traps and explosives but they can also be proficient with melee weapons.
