Yeah i read that tweet as well. I would like to see the video footage.

I have enough of the first game and of all characters i played there solo, wizard was just the strongest in most of the fights. I know, that i can do everything rather easy in the second game with a single class monk. So, how good is a wizard? I remember playing one, but i think he lacked on acc to hit enemies, but i had not so much knowledge about the spells. So, how is he doing against the megabosses?

Maybe you have bookmarked that topic, where you can see, how much deflection, fortitude, reflex and will you need, to be "invincible" by certain hits. Maybe you can give me a link? And which status effects attack which defense stat?

Well, i have to use the pet, because it is mandatory with a ranger xd So you mean, if the combat starts and there is any companion, you won't receive the buff, even if the pet / companion dies?

I did it finally, but those solitary gloves do not work, i still get paralyzed from the xaurip archers, even when there is no companion around.

The Bog Dragons are pretty hard with Ranger. I managed to kill the flying one and llengrath, but then this damn bog lurker hit me and i got stuck =( I had no problem with my rogue, because of shadowing beyond it was easy to seperate them. Maybe i try this cloak that provides me SB on crit and those bracers with immunity to paralyze (nasty archers).

I tried something with my wizard. It seems, if you buff up and use citzal's lance, it is better than using gods + we toki damage wise. I tried it on the skydragon with - Alacrity + Merciless Graze + Lance + Warpaint + Fear Scroll I debuffed him with rymgr (weakend) + expose vurnerables + combusting wounds and used gaze of adragan on him. With Lance and max level i had 135 acc + 15 for resting bonus against beast. I did the same with gods + we toki on exp., but on one side, it seems i hit slower as with the lance and deal less damage and prone / stun does rarely proc. Did i miss something?

Hi again Does Hearth Orlan's racial bonus trigger with a summoning figurine?

So something like godansthunyr + we toki or bittercut with resolution / purgatory?

Ok thanks, but wizard is pretty tedious tbh (at least before he gets the good spells). I started a barbarian and the canoneer belt with the fire shield // fire sword are pretty good. My question is, what's the best way to deal with those Adragans? With the anvil i had huge issues, because of that petrify and the lightning attacks.

Ok does the damage of kalakoth's minor blights + penetrating blast depend on the wand / scepter in your hand?

So Gaze of the Adragan is AoE or and it is saved by fortitude. Does it only rarely work at those high level bounties?

I started a wizard and so far, it's pretty ok in act 1. I never played a cipher, so i don't know how it would perform compared to the wizard? Druid is pretty strong with plague of insects and storm, but how is the early game with him until he gets those spells? And the most important thing about everything is, that i should be able to do all bounties and dragon fights.

Hello After a long break from PoE 1, i want to try something new. Solo + Potd. I started a rogue, but i gave up at defiance bay, because to get anything done AoE wise, you need scrolls or fights take forever. After that i choose Monk Anvil build, it was not that hard at the beginning and i am allready level 15. The only problem what i saw recently was at the sky dragon fight, because his single target damage seems not overwhelming. Maybe i did something wrong. I will eventually play further. Then i started a Ranger with Stormcaller. God it was so awefull to get this bow with lvl 5. Pulling enemies, using rotfinger gloves, ring of searing flames and 3 different figurines. Now i am level 7 and the damage, if RS not triggers, is pretty lackluster. I m pretty sure, against the dragons, you need maelstrom / confusion scrolls to not get rushed by the mobs. So, am i wrong or will this class become really powerfull when i play further? I allready played through the game as solo chanter, so not again. Paladin becomes only online at lvl13 and i don't want to put me through that again. So, i can only think about wizard / cipher or priest to try out. I really need something, that can kill mobs pretty quick and is good against single target as well. Suggestions?

Gratz. I hope we will see the full run on youtube soon. I just gave up on it, after i got hooked up on Wild Hunt.

Port Maje ---> Deadlight ---> Sandswept So Level 6, with hylea's food, hunter background and thief's putty i had 10 or 11 mechanics there.

I sailed there after fort deadlight and i get 310 - 370 xp each trap. You don't need leap boots, but thief's putty to disarm the ones you want. The first two rows of traps always give you xp, then it stops and the three after the 14ish "locked" traps net you again 310-370 xp, so i don't know why it stops all of a sudden and then you get xp again.

Depends on what you want. A Shadowdancer is one of the best DPS classes in the game, esp. vs. single targets. But megabosses? Big Spider - Yes Auranic - With immunity to might / resolve afflictions - yes Dorodugan - With blade cascade and battle axe bleed effect - yes Big ooze - I don't think it is possible with this class, because of the merging.

That is quiet interesting. Did you found that out by accident? xd

Yeah, the ghost is a problem, he teleports you. With a lvl 13 monk you don't really need to stealth that, but i have to try it first on a non Trial of Iron run, how you can prevent vela from dying there.

Auranic is not really a problem. She has a limited amount of spells. The pillars are the real threat. In my monk playthrough, the helm that should have made me immune to resolve afflictions, did not work properly and i got terrified and to get 18x will is not so easy (possible with a monk). Question is, to eat the right food and to hope that effigy husk and immune to might afflictions work, because the two mobs there use charge and one pillar uses tayn's orb.

When you do following quests: All on Port Maje Fort Deadlight Sandswept ruins traps (all that net you +xp and you can reach with leap boots / hylea's bounty +thiefs putty) Dunnage (except that one with the musical) Neketaka (Except Old city dereo quest, persa fight and the following fights, both at the sacred stairs) And disarm most traps / unlock most chests, you can reach level 13 without fighting anything in Neketaka. With a SC Monk, you get DS, what makes fights possible and you are not related to summons I don't know, how much xp exactly you can farm in the old city, if you do the whole thing.

So, anyone figured it out, if the days add up or do they not? (eothas challenge)

Sandswept ruins are pretty nice after fort deadlight. It does net you 8k+ experience for disarming the ones you can. If you have the leap boots from FD, you can jump over the last ones and get even more (some traps do not give any xp - mostly they you can not disarm).

Wrong. Priests can deal heavy amounts of damage and are pretty much better than druids. Wizard has the problem, that his spells have low pen. I think, you can not get much more than 13 pen.
