Help needed for SC Priest of Berath Melee/Buffer
A single class Priest can absolutely fight in melee. It's just so that his damage output with a weapon would be better if he multiclassed with a class which added some melee prowess. But in general you can stand in the front line and swing a great sword. I place Xoit as SC Priest at the front line all the time - often with a Morning Star - and it works fine. Will she be tanking many enemies? No - but that's not her role. But she can stand her ground against an enemy or two for long enough. In Deadfire, a Priest of Berath can summon a spiritual great sword for himself which has a nice corrosive lash that grows if your reputation matches your god's dispositions. It can become quite powerful. That way even a single class Priest can contribute with weapon damage. If you are okay with giving up the highest tier spells you can multiclass with not much regret. I personally love to multiclass a Priest with the Helwalker Monk because this has two main kinds of synergies: better melee output: with stuff such as Lightning Strikes + Turning Wheel and some attack abilities such as Force of Anguish or Torment's Reach you can do some serious damage, especially when paired with the spiritual great sword (resulting in a shocking lash, a burning lash and a corrosive lash on the sword). Also the high MIG of the Helwalker leads to more weapon damage. the Helwalker can offer +15 MIG (+1 MIG per wound and +5 from Thunderous Blows) and +10 INT (Turning Wheel) which are both fantastic buffs for casting: INT enlargens the AoEs and prolongs all durations, MIG raises damage and healing power(!). Spells like Shining Beacon profit a lot from +15 MIG (higher dmg per tick) and +10 INT (a lot more ticks) and so does healing over time such as Consecrated Ground. Aso you can be a bit faster (Lightning Strikes add +5 DEX and +15% action speed) and get some other goodies. The Monk is a great multiclass choice for a lot of classes, Priest is no exception.

You don't actually care about honesty either- since you only care about other peoples'. You care about speculation, when it isn't you doing it, you care about other peoples' reputation, when it isn't you impugning them. That, my friend, is dishonesty, you were an expert in earthquakes, you just posted mr harvard professor to get a discussion going, I constantly brought up Hans Blix (hilarious really, last time you posted a list of links showing my obsession and it was you mentioning him first every time, you even found the link to your mythical video after I said I wouldn't watch it even if you did) etc etc: you're just consistently lying to yourself. I also told you why I don't care about 'slandering' journalists- this is a forum, not a literary review; and if they wanted credit for being correct once they'd have to accept the blame for being wrong all those times before. but it was also shared after you posted this: Clearly stated, by you, as an option, in the 1st person. As I've said repeatedly, you're constitutionally incapable of conceding an argument, so much so you have now resorted to- ironically- ignoring your own posts, instead of mine.

What are you Playing Now? Volume XIX: The New Beginning of the End of the Middle
My Steam "favorites" list currently/for a while has seven games that are in blue text, stating "update required/paused." To which I say - not right now/not ready, and then go Offline again when I'm done doing whatever I went "online" for. Tainted Grail: I liked the original release quite well, but the DLC didn't appeal - I bought it because it was a King Arthur-legend type game, not an undersea/cthulhu (or whatever) legends game. Oh I'm sure the Arthur lore is in there somewhere. But you know what I mean. But I keep it installed in case I ever want to replay the older/non-patched vanilla version I have backed up. I'm still waiting for a Stray 2. :P

- Ukraine Conflict - war continues on
Losses confirmed by intelligence agencies are recursive. They confirm what Ukraine claims because they are the Ukrainian claims- see also the CSIS numbers Bruce uses; they match the Ukrainian numbers for Russian casualties, they're not CSIS' own ones. They've also made some ludicrous claims like the Ukrainian counter offensive failing due to pro Russian shrubbery. I don't accept it, but I find that estimate to be more likely. That's partly due to the outlandish claims made by the other side for sure; it's certainly more likely than Russian soldiers wearing welding kit to burn off faces in no man's land. By its nature it would be a lower estimate. Thinking of it as being embarrassing to have losses is a bit of a 'western' (in this case comfortable or similar might be more accurate) concept: the whole DPRK shtick is that they're in a life or death struggle with the forces of imperialism. Showing losses actually enhances that narrative and they get to show that they have friends in the struggle too. You might compare it with some of the jihadi groups which are keen to publicise suicide bombers because they believe that they've gone to heaven and will encourage others in the struggle while westerners would decry it and never once think of condoning or celebrating it. Well, unless it's Ukrainian intelligence doing the bombing and the bomber is an innocent Azeri at least. Both those claims are propaganda. One is aimed at you, one isn't.

I love Black Jacket but hate that the Fire Shield from Magran's Blessing deactivates when you switch weapon sets and does not come back on when you switch back, wasting the effect's duration. This mod makes it come back on when you switch back so you get the full duration. Note, the duration is a running clock from the time combat starts so the clock is ticking while the shield is unequipped. Still behaves the same otherwise. I will put this on the Nexus soon along with my Red Flag Flying crash preventer mod. MagransBlessingFireShieldReignite.zip- The All Things Political Topic - world tidings
In other news, more Epstein files have been released and they contain some real vile stuff again. Trump is mentioned openly, not sure if they forgot to black his name or whatever is going on.

They certainly don't feel much guilt for throwing all those brave hasbara fighters insisting that every dead palestinian was hamas and that the casualty figures were fraudulent for two years under the bus. And yes, already seen claims that the vast majority of the missing will be hamas fighters in tunnels, not civilians in collapsed buildings/ shelters/ bulldozed into mass graves.Kassy joined the communityomgjcmejia joined the community- Base raids still not working
It's a bummer, on top of that I'm missing some O.R.C. card from the first blender, as there are no raids I can't get them. I hope they fix it quickly, I don't understand how this update is not solved when we have been with this serious problem for months. Another failure that I have seen in my game, I have seen that some people work well but not that case, on the map I do not see the molars of the new area, they do not appear to me.- Obituary thread

We fought the ORC Broodmother and mysterious stranger with my friend and we died (i got stuck under the map and he died Fighting). We then proceed to reset the inventories to allow me to get my bag. And when we came back for the boss, it had disappeared and we can continue the story. We want to know if it is possible to respawn the boss even if we need to lose the rest of the story we did. The boss itself is an unknown girl fighting with a buggy launching acid attacks in the greenhouse. Oh, and the tree didn't spawn either. So maybe there was a bug between the new maj and the test version, or it is something new. Please tell us how to fight her and thanks by advance.Brault started following Boss fight skipped, how to redo it?- Random video game news... video random news game

Kind of rage quiet Octopath Traveler. Got to the very end, and find that not only do I have to grind through 8 mini-bosses (takes about 30min?) to get a go at the final boss, I can't save so presumably if I fail I'll have to start all over again, and I suddenly need all 8 of my characters which I haven't so far at any point of the game. Bah. Maybe I'll get back to it at some point, dunno.Brault joined the community- [BUG] Stuck in The Crucible (Seeker, Slayer, Surviver expansion)
Kvellen replied to Shpenat's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)Hmm, other than using Dismissal before combat I can't see anything in what you've mentioned that would be causing the bug as Shpenat described it. And there doesn't seem to be any other reports of getting stuck in arena after the fight that I am aware of. You are using Turn-Based Combat correct? It's long shot but you could see if changing combat to Real-Time With Pause with the "SetTacticalMode" console command allows you to clear the encounter. Open the console with the ` key and enter the following: SetTacticalMode DisabledYou can set it back to Turn-Based after the fight by open the console again and entering the following: SetTacticalMode RoundBasedThis command shouldn't disable achievements.- Help needed for SC Priest of Berath Melee/Buffer
Five years after completing PoE1 I have decided to finally get around to Deadfire. As I still have my save game (I knew about importing saves so I kept it around) I would like to continue exactly the same character I had in PoE1. The only question is how to build it? In PoE1 I had a Moon Godlike Priest of Berath focused on buffing and acting as extra melee with a great sword. And healing. I've been looking around how viable this character would be and am in two minds. On one hand, people say that to be a strong buffer stay a SC Priest, and on the other hand that an SC Priest won't really be able to fight in melee so I need to MC. Do I need to? What are people's thoughs on an SC buffer/melee/healer Priest of Berath? the thing I am okay to sacrifice is spell-based damage. Is such a character viable or should I choose and go SC buffer or MC cleric?havoc242 joined the communitypuntz2003 joined the community- What are you Playing Now?

Don Lemon arrested by federal authorities after protest at Minnesota church service Lemon was arrested by the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations in Beverly Hills at approximately midnight, according to a federal warrant issued in another district. Details of the charges against the four were not immediately available. However, the Justice Department promised to pursue charges against Lemon after the independent journalist covered the protest at a church in St. Paul on Jan. 18. A federal magistrate judge had previously rejected a criminal complaint against Lemon. A source familiar with the matter, described Bondi as “enraged” by the decision. ... am having no idea the mechanism used to arrest lemon and others, did the feds do as with sandwich guy and find a misdemeanor? did they appeal to a higher power on an emergency basis (unlikely)? did they successful convince a grand jury? trespassing charges woulda' made sense for the protesters who were already arrested, and am not sure if bondi tried that with lemon... after the fact. as with so much doj theatre, am s'posing is more about the arrest than the charges, but it will be interesting to see how they managed this seeming first amendment abuse. edit: am unsure if the following is real, 'cause is kinda daliesque HA!

I also noted that since the update, I have yet to get a raid attack. Before the update I had turned off the transmitters and did the MIXR, so I was super excited to know that with new transmitters we can get them back. I am on Xbox and even with the more recent update we are not getting raids. My friend who is playing with me, can't sleep because it says there is a raid incoming but nothing happens. I can sleep but he can not. I am hosting.- Last BURGL Chip not able to turn in
Good Day, We fought the Mysterious Stranger and grew the tree, then I found the last BURLG Chip E (I think it is E, its is the one from the pumpkin patch) and went to turn it in and was unable to do so because the game was acting like I didn't have it in my inventory. It is listed in my achievements.
