I'm a big priest fan, priest of Berath in Deadfire is solid for a single-classed caster (Wael and Skaen priests are usually better for multiclasses). Berath priest gets the very nice druid spell Touch of Rot as a bonus spells at level 1 which is very good AoE damage for a level 1 spell, and Symbol of Berath does corrosion which is not often resisted and inflicts a tier 2 constitution debuff, this effectively multiplies it's damage since it lowers enemy health and also reduces enemy fortitude saves which effectively improves its accuracy after the first hit since it rolls against fortitude. With high int and might and the White Void helm Berath priest can really melt groups of enemies at high level. Dual-wield slayers-claw (+2 penetration for spells with minor avatar) + griffins blade (with +10% spell damage enchant) while wearing Helm of the White Void (+10 accuracy) and cast minor avatar -> Symbol of Berath for maximum damage. Edit: For deadfire only i would think monk might be the most fun though, but I'm not a big fan of them in PoE1.

The game may not be pretty, but it allowed me to paint my ship poison green to make my opponents' eyes bleed. Aesthetic warfare.

Mexican morning TV is/was good stuff.

There also would be: casting, participating in recording sessions guiding the actors, picking the takes and creating sound files that than can be implemented (editing, post processing?). VO might also require unique tech, like voice effects changing depending on enviroment etc.

Hi, welcome Do you play SOLO or in a party? My favorite class in all rpg is Druid, I have made a run solo potd in the first game and I have to import it in the second (I'll go for Fury or maybe a mod towards burn spiritshift instead of shock). Druid are very good in poe1 but less powerful in poe2, sure a fun class for multiclassing. I have just finished a run with a shaman corpse eater - priest of berath imported from a poe1 priest of berath. Priest are weak early level in poe1 but very powerful end levels (I say second class as power behind wizard), and quite the same poe2, but without mod a priest is a class that can beat megabosses with SoT and BDD. So powerful but a little boring and difficult first level. Best as multiclass in poe2 as 8 and 9 priest spells are almost useless, best levels are 6 and 7. Maybe with mods they work better also as single class. I don't like monks too much because they are too much powerful for me Indeed, I think they are the best martial class: they are great DD, very good as CC (stun and so on), quick and strong attacks and debuffs, maybe better than rogue for single enemy kill, can also manage large group of foe, they have one of the most powerful summon of the game, resonance touch can kill ANYBODY, plenty of passives and abilities you don't know which choose... They are good also single class, and in poe2 they have very nice subclass. So if you wish a single class powerful pg, I'd go for monk... but it depends also on your playing style. Monk/Druid could be a powerful and very fun multiclass, in case

Thanks, LadyCrimson. I will pass this on @The Guildmaster via @SChin

Thank you very much Boeroer! Been a fan of your builds and info you share for years. Maybe a weird thing to say to a random forum person but oh well haha. Would the monk build you recommend for the first game be the witch doctor build you posted?

Abrams have apparently been withdrawn too. Did better than the Challenger where we saw one knocked out and another up to its turret in mud and everything else was publicity shots before they got pulled. If jamming is the problem it will effect ATACMS as well. End of the day they're old systems, and GPS signal is intrinsically and unavoidably extremely weak at earth level.

In absence of Helwax Mold (or waiting for it) also Bleak Fang is a good weapon for a bleak walker, rpg-wise.

Another update in the forever search of wunderwaffe: The GLSDBs have failed in Ukraine. I bet that played a part in finally officially transferring ATACMS.

I hadn't even noticed the influx of guests - my bookmark (or my general "click first" after login) is the Community section, not Home, so I don't often see the stats line of users-online. Too much traffic can definitely be a bugbear for various reasons. I'm still getting the slow page loading response just to say, both page loading and when trying to login/logout. Sometimes it's not too long a wait, sometimes it's quite long (as Bart. mentioned).

Hi and welcome! My strong opinion is that Monk is the best pick here. It's a fantastic (single) class both in PoE as well as in Deadfire. My favorite Monk build in both games is the ranged Monk. With PoE it's with the Long Pain as main weapon (very strong) and in Deadfire it's with dual mortars (Serafen's blunderbusses) and the Long Pain. But the Monk class is very versatile and fun with a lot of build approaches imo. The Druid is very nice with Spiritshift in PoE (brutal scaling of the base damage of the Spiritshift weapons for example), but as single class in Deadfire he's way better as a pure caster than with Spiritshift. Multiclassing makes Spiritshift a lot more fun. Priest is stronger in PoE than in Deadfire, it's still good though, also when staying with a single class . It's just not that exciting to me as the main character. Wizard and Druid have more entertaining high level spells (Power Level 8 and 9) imo. Tl;dr: Monk!

Was up late for other reasons, so when time came, went to buy Manor Lords (on Steam, for the moment): --- "Too many people want to buy this game, so you can't right now, try again later." --- "But not too many times in a row or you'll hit our attempts limit and be frozen out for a while." I guess millions of wishlisters is too much for Steam's purchase software. Bought it, it started fine, spent 15 minutes with settings and such (will be doing EZ no-combat mode while learning town mechanics, then try normal mode). Game loaded me into a spot with baskets of bread, 1 ox, and some peasants. Looks nice. But I save and exit. Sadly too tired from staying up all night to test-play within "2 hr time limit" window. Later. But I did make an angry squirrel, purple-white coat of arms to match my purple dress/white hat wearing, grumpy old fart female avatar. Color/mood matching is important after all.

apparently Xsolla has to refund now, because BSG broke ToS with that release. people have been asking for refunds for ages, and now they just might get what they wanted

I'm going to be that grounded player, so try to bear with me lol. So I know that it was stated with one of Obsidians latest videos that this was groundeds final update. Maybe I'm trying to be too hopeful with this, but is there any slight bit of hope that we may get just a little more content? I've always been hoping to see the lizard thrown back in since there has been some cut content added back into grounded. Don't get me wrong I love grounded as it is, but id really love to see just a little but more thrown in. Having the lizard added in, being able to access the shed, or even some more insects to fight. I understand I'm probably grasping at straws here, but does anyone think we may get lucky with one more content update? I love grounded and I've been coming back to it ever since it's initial release. I've actually managed to get my wife to play it as well, and shes enjoying it just as much as i am. I know every studio has to move on, but id love to get that shed open or have the lizard added lol! Any feedback or info would be greatly appreciated and thanks for reading my rant! I hope everyone is having a great time in the backyard!

that time never existed people write snarky report and story about protester are paid to be there doesn't understand what they are doing and silly to even try to protest anything century ago

How do you know this is representative of the people protesting, exactly? In things that actually matter, the IDF going to invade Rafah soon ? Feel sorry for all the civilians Hamas will kill after weaponizing the IDF

Hi there! Longtime lurker here finally engaging with all you lovely people. I'm coming back to pillars after a while and am trying to choose what to play. I generally have a huge problem constantly restarting to try different builds, and then reading everything about them and then starting something new. It's annoying. So after much consideration I've narrowed down what I want to play to monk, priest or druid. This is for the first and second game. I will probably be using community patch and the balance polishing mod btw. I've beaten the first on hard and played through much of it on potd. I haven't played the second game as much but plan to go through it (after the first) on potd as well. But I just can't decide on a class to take all the way through both (for roleplaying reasons). Like I mentioned I settled on priest, druid, or monk. I know these are all good and strong classes in both games and I enjoy vancian casters as well as the monk's wounds system. I think I'd like to stay single class since... well I just like it more conceptually I guess? I don't know. Does anyone have any strong opinions on what's most fun or engaging for both games, but mostly the second? I think I'd go with priest of berath so I could mix damage and support if I went priest but I'm open to other options. Druid I'm less sure... Fury for blasting? Ancients for dots and summons and heals? The flexibility sounds nice maybe? Monk seems fun too but again I'm caught between mortar monk and forbidden fist tank monk. Serious decision paralysis. So ya, I'd love and appreciate if anyone could weigh in with what they think to help me decide.

@Constentin Lévine as I promised, here is the proof: As you see "Spellbane" interrupted me during SoT cast No doubt you were right but I like to show the fact, I think you'd like it too Thanks again!

DEX has linear returns, not diminishing. Even when recovery is zero the returns from DEX are linear. But it is debatable if the small changes in animation speed (counted in absolute frames) is worth the hassle to stack DEX into the sky while other attributes suffer. Remember Rakhan Field only applies to FoD. It is actually a copy of the original FoD attack that has an additional corrosive lash. Most abilities and their upgrades are hard-coded copies with adjustments. Upgrades or talents for abilities usually do no "latch" onto basic abilities or so. Instead when you pick an upgrade/talent the basic ability is removed and the new, improved ability is added to your character. An exception is Scion of Flame - that does work with FoD and also Sacred Immolation. Spirit of Decay also works with the corrosive lash of Remember Rakhan Field. What they do is to improve the lash by 20% (so 25% becomes 30%, 50% becomes 60% and so on). For a Bleak Walker I guess two Bittercut sabres (cloned with the Helwax Mold) could be the best FoD option. The sabre itself does corrode damage and profits from Spirit of Decay, the lash on the weapon (fire or corrode) profits from Scion of Flame or Spirit of Decay, the FoD lashes profit from Scion of Flame and Remember Rakhan Field profits from Spirit of Decay. It's a nice weapon anyway (bc. sabre with dual damage).

Thank you @thelee, as usual your explanation is very satisfying. Yes, also in my screenshot base damage would be from 41 and my roll was 40.8! Hope there will be a future patch for this, but maybe it was already addressed in an available mod Have a good day and thanks again!

That's interesting, but like i said i tried a Darcozzi run before so i'm going Bleak Walker specifically to try something completely different (roleplaying wise). Does Remember Rakhan Field work with Sacred Immolation? Because i think getting a damage boost on grazes and hits should somewhat compensate for a few less crits.

Saving the game in any way will only give an error and not Save the game. I've had a lot of these Save Errors throughout the entire playthrough as well just not as severe. I just got to NG+4 and have 109 Days if that helps. Hoping for this issue to be addressed as I can no longer progress.

It's always like that, Liberating Exhortation can be used on self, the rest exhortation cannot be casted on self.
