Thank you good sir. I enjoy the defeat, gives me motivation. But yes although I have no proof my word is my oath. I would never quit if I was going to lose. I just don't have the patience and now how to record my play throughs. I relish defeat it tells the AI is somewhat decent (it cheats) and that I suck. I like the pain. I'm a paladin with monk tendencies

I RP a TC run like I would in a real fight. If I want to live I'll use anything at my disposal. Less cast times for a priest if he can cast Devotions while a scroll user casts defense.

Agree with scroll of defense. The only blah part about it is when you run out ingredients and have to go hunt for them. Can't agree with the Rez scrolls. Reviving Exhortation gives the character immediate full endurance and they slowly lose that endurance after 30 or more seconds. Also Reviving Exhortation is a quick cast. All the other Rezs are slow cast. 4 second cast times. I am not saying Reviving Exhortation is a must I've done without it on many play through but when I did need a Rez on a dragon fight I would rather of had it then the scroll or priest spell. They AI seeks injured characters so with the other rezs you must just get another immediate face plant. If you have the ashes that you get from the stronghold quest you will get 7 charges of Reviving Exhortation. If you don't suck this should be enough for the entire game. Unless you are running a vengeful defeat barb lol This is WAY better then other Rez spells as You don't have to waste time healing that person after the Rez. Only after about 30 seconds after the Exhortation. That's a huge deal as a KOed character is In DPS form even if they have an injury as injuries rarely reduce accuracy. Even when they do an injury can be suspended by liberating Exhortation or the priest AOE version.

Ah, ok; thanks much! So there will be no conflict then, I assume. By the way, how does full stash contribute to lag? It seems not so intuitive... Edit: But then I don't know much about computers... I am not sure my friend. But I know keeping it clear by stashing gear in Caed Nua really helps with load times.

There is no auto save in TC it's just one save when you transition on load screens have never had a lag issue. Just a load time issue when stash is full.

I don't use I.E. as long as i keep my stash clear it doesn't lag

wow nice.

Ya your thread kind of peaked my interest. I appreciate the help bud.

I am running Sagani and a mostly ranged group this time around and my best melee guy is Ituumak. He hits very hard and I am going to get knock down for him. Do you guys think its worth getting Coordinated Attacks to help him be more accurate and secure knock downs? I always get Coordinated Attacks with a Fighter and hes like a mini Fighter but he does not get Disciplined Barrage so he will have a hard time knocking down dragons. My other frontliner is a chanter whose main damage output is Dragon Thrashed Dragon Wailed so the Marking is wasted on her.

*shrug* I've never had an issue in this area. I just cc, debuff and focus fire monks. And I don't think there is a Kith enemy that can touch my tanks. Just Dragons. Blind and daze the monks and they won't touch you. Also prone with a fighter/monk and a paladin marker is a dead monk don't care how many wounds he gets.

Bah my Shieldbearer will have to talk but MOST of the time I like proving myself in PotD. It might be too late for you but ensure that your backline isnt full of glass cannons. This game punishes you for it. So make sure Wizards, Rogues, Priests, Rangers whatever have some type of escape button or a way of temporarily making themselves un hittable. Then focus fire the monks in the back line.

What Boer said.

I thought that was a beer, or does he offer both? Its a beer.

Absolutely not my friend! I guess you just peaked my thoughts on why I am attracted to the leader type classes

I do not think its ridiculous and its perfect for the flavor of the class. As a former non commissioned officer I was in a situation where I had to tell a guy to push through although he was hurt. That's what Liberating Exhortation is. The Paladin is commanding his allies to push through whatever affliction is hindering them. I got good results in my situation. Granted the guy didn't have a compound fracture or a severed limb or anything like that but he was shaken up and had a torn meniscus (we found out later). Ya for some afflictions its a stretch but its a fantasy game

lol

Ya its Whiteleaf or some form of tobacco they do not talk about. It is not Goldrote Chew. I used to dip a lot (I have been tobacco free for years now thank goodness) and the picture of Goldrot Chew is exactly how dip is stored in real life. In a can like container and it looks granulated. That being said all of my Paladins are chewers/dippers. I live vicariously through them since they have no risk of cancer hehehe

I feel you're giving up on one interesting aspect of the game, that makes you think twice about abandoning one of your doomed toons to their (temporary) death: without injuries it's a lot better to not waste heals or cc to keep one of your surrounded teammates from hitting the dust, knowing that their health will be alright for future encounters, and revive spells can bring them on your feet once enemies moved away from the corpse. You can still have fun playing a vengeful martyr with injuries on, given how most of them don't nerf his damage output. Injuries are also suppressed by the proper spell, or through a ring of Unshackling or a paladin Liberating Exhortation, quite funny if you ask me: I have this mental image of the zealous commander yelling at his dumb meatbag to get up for that last stand, before sending him to death once more. I was about to say the same exact thing lol

Good point they are internal. Knew that but didn't think of it lol

Yes it is. What I was suggesting is that the Watcher Lead whats left. His class is irrelevant since hes a Watcher so need for him to a Cipher to lead it. But Ya maybe it is a stretch.

Hey guys I was playing POE 1 and just finished the Dunryd Row side Quest. The Wild Orlan Cipher kind of gives you an offer in a joking way. I was thinking that if you do not like any of the Paladin or Priest Subclass trade offs you could be a Dunryd Paladin or Priest (since they are a Watcher they could do this job even though they are not a Cipher) This could be the subclass with no draw backs. It would make sense lore wise that you lost your faith in a your orders cause and decided to just help the Dyrwood and continue a certain persons legacy in Dunryd Row. I think this would preserve your powers as a Priest or Paladin as your zealotry could continue through crusading against the true antagonists of the first game. PS this is likely the wrong area for this suggestion. What Forums does Josh actually read? PS PS I actually think the POE 2 Subclass kits are cool just thinking of an option for people that do not.

Concelhauts Parasitic Staff destroys anything a fighter can bring at the early levels. Exploding Raedrics Paladins is fun. I did this Aloth who has 12 Might.

Its easy to avoid my friend. Only a few mobs that are a serious threat have it. Vithrack,Kith type Ciphers and Adragans. So When you fight these if you have a priest use Prayer against Treachery or its corresponding scroll. You will have it by the time these enemies come around. Also your Paladin whether he has Righteous Soul or not will be highly resistant to it. Stealth everyone but him and he will eat the first mind control. Pop Everyone else out and burn that enemy. Or if you have Liberating Exhortation pop one of your characters that isnt the chanter out of stealth let him/her eat the mind control and place the Exhortation on them. A Goldpact Knights Bond of Duty is actually really good with this of course.

Ya it's good. I need a 4th cannon watcher though.

If you want straight kill just chant the one phrase but ya for more utility alternate.
