Schin, Attached is the output log, I was able to reproduce the bug somewhat. When the game starts up I click to skip the Obsidian logo and it will hang with the windows pointer becoming a circle, this time it recovered and went to the main menu, other times it crashes. In game its totally playable I am getting no crashes. So for now my workaround is go get something to drink when the opening sequence fires up lol output_log.txt

Update: If I let the start up sequence play through and do not click I never have an issue. anyone? Figure the mods are off on the weekend! No issues I will wait until the week

Then they missed out on all the dialogue options. I think a lot of people preferred to wreck house in combat instead. Funny you say that, I have always liked tanking and healing (in the mmo sense) so I like defensive characters, pure DPS characters bore me lol I cant stand how they fold like a stack of cards, granted you are right sometimes what you want is quick death so that nothing is standing. Just the idea of a character who is soft turns me off

People dumped it in POE 1 also

Thanks guys really trying to get into the game, how about CON?

If I want a front line Paladin who can heal, give out buffs and generally get in the way of the enemy is resolve still a crap stat? Having a chicken **** Paladin (I know its RP) is just really unattractive :-/

I will be honest Boer I have been less active in the game, it just seems worse. Talk me off the ledge man. Res sucks again not even for lessening debuffs??!?!

Man this is depressing. What an RPG!!! Every martial character should max DEX, wow thats boring and bad design on obsidians part, but the math guy is right 100%

Hey guys, since the new patch the main menu seems to struggle. At times it will crash other times it will hang, crash and recover and others its fine. In game it runs as usual. Attaches is my Dxdiag, no crash files are being created when it crashes as previously explained. DxDiag.txt

I was looking at the sticky up top about the NVIDIA cards and was looking into Rivatuner...is there some type of guide for that program??? the link on the sticky just says to install it but I think there is more to it than that. I cant get the program to run. I have googled it but all I get is MSI stuff. Do you need both? There is very little instructions for that sticky...

I haven’t had any disposition issues? I select the correct favored dispositions and my defenses increase.

Everything you say is on point except the last. The F and C dispositions is part of playing a Paladin. It’s part of being in a warrior society/group. I was in the Marines for 8 years you were expected to act a certain way. Granted you don’t all of the sudden become terrible at shooting because you conduct yourself in an unbecoming way. It’s the same type of idea for Paladins. Their power is based on acting a certain way. It's really unfortunate that dispositions seem so random or hard to manage organically in PoE2. Could be because not all convos have all choices, but why would they? Thanks for your service btw. That is fair. In POE 1 it was kind of the same lol

Ya I’m taking a spear in the early game as ACC issues hit you hard on PoTD due to the increased defenses. Maybe spear and buckler? Large shield for dragons etc (no spoilers!) the early game a large shield is just brutal on your ACC and since aggro doesn’t exist you get ignored and you can’t get hit a damn thing. Need at least some melee output from my front liner. Due to being up front and having lots of engagement he will tank enough in order to get value you out of that and he will have lay on hands m, auras and some buffs.

This was my thought process as well just wanted confirmation. Really don’t like Druid multi thematically so I guess it’s either Herald full support or a Crusader for off tank damage dealer. I feel that a crusader doesn’t bring enough support in full tank mode as he gets ignored due to too much deflection. Swashbucklers and other classes debuff well so there is value in doing less damage. I also feel that herald tanks bring a lot due to lots of healing and buffs.

I’ve finally started play throughs in earnest and need your advice. Do you guys think a single class Paladin contributes enough with buffs and inspirations to warrant a slot or is a sub class needed e.g. Herald etc (On PoTD). I was thinking crusader but i feel like a crusader with a shield is missing a huge opportunity on damage and that would be his contribution, not buffs. More of an off tank and damage dealer. For support a Herald is obviously better. But does a single class Paladin bring enough? Or is a multi class to Herald just in plain better?

It is bugged, was a go to item for me but at some point a patch broke it and they did not fix it.

It used to be direct spell attacks and many other debuffs but it stopped working at some point and they never fixed it. From what I see now it only works against Priest spells.

maybe im getting lazy on my micro. Melee guys do attack the tank when engaged. More so as an Unbroken Crusader. Its ranged enemies switching. In POE 1 I would pop the tank out first he took a lot of heat while everyone buffed.

I was debating finally dropping the shield on my tank (especially my paladin). I struggled with this in POE 1 but because Outworn Buckler was so beneficial to the party I never dropped it. I have not finished the game yet but I do not see a shield that good that benefits the party yet! (no spoilers)!. So shields have the affect of giving my Crusader too much defense and whoever is not engaged (ranged bad guys) will not target him for obvious reasons....I was thinking just giving him a 2hander or duel wielding will make ranged target him more....obviously he'd be a bit more squishy but Eder does just fine as a duelwielder with constant recovery...What do you guys think? I have NOT completed the game so I am thinking maybe Dragon types a shield user might be needed...

Odd I must have got both pulls at the same time then lol

I think the Fort Defense sucks on the build but admit-tingly its an off tank. I usually main tank with my Paladins meaning they are the ones who pop out of stealth first and the take the heat from Dragons (If they dragon is not cced right). I like having 150+ Fort on PoTD. In GROUP play I do not think PER is necessary. With debuffs, ACC buffs, Sworn Enemy and Distance advantage (if you go wood elf) you have more than enough accuracy. I have done both with high PER and PER at 10 and the difference is negligible. In fact the 10 PER Paladin did more damage because he took Zealous Endurance and Durance was buffing with Blessing. That 10% damage made him slightly out damage the high PER Paladin by about 100 points. Same time in game played it was a completionist play through.

Cool thanks! I just do not see a reason to single class a Paladin at the moment especially without SI.

Adra!, Hey it is no issue. My game seems stable it just on exit when the issue happens. Attached is what you requested! POE 2 Exit Crashes.zip

Is this on purpose then? It says it has a save vs reflex on the self damaging raw damage portion but I have not been able to dodge it, granted this was pre 1.1 maybe there is a save vs reflex now? If there is a save against it..I guess its fine. If not its a bug cause 43 raw damage per tick is a rough penalty.
