Occultist Class Name
Occultist

Occultist is a mastery in Grim Dawn that focuses on deployment of eldritch power, in the forms of debilitating curses, forbidden magic, and summoning skills. No Occultist skills are weapon-dependent, and so like with Demolitionists, both melee and ranged builds are viable.

Lore[ | ]

Once hunted by imperial forces in an effort to control eldritch power, the Occultist's craft focuses heavily on summoning and borrowed powers granted by the three witch "gods" Bysmiel, Solael and Dreeg. Their diverse arts include abhorrent curses and spells that inflict damage with poison, acid, and entropic energy. Excelling with neither sword nor gun, they can use either to augment their offense.
