[1.06 the Paladin Patch]

> since the whole party is not getting hit.

 

Play POTD.

Or you can always don't equip any deflection boosting items. Don't pick abilities/talents that increase deflection too.

[is this the way open area battles should be?]

It's called leashing. If you find it too cheesy then don't abuse it. Simple as that.

 

Since you are soloing the game if you don't abuse leashing then you have to figurine spam for tough fights.

[Fighter Engagement. Does Defender and Hold the Line stack?]

It's quite hilarious seeing a mob of enemies clumping around your fighter while you rain death down from afar.

[Update #96: The Road to Eternity]

Then that may be the reason why you don't have the documentation. It is an extra that is part of the Champion's Edition.

I see...I saw PoE updating in Steam so I thought I got the documentary.

[1.06 the Paladin Patch]

this is a paladin nerf guys

 

 

Suppress Affliction base duration lowered from 15 seconds to 10 seconds.

Pretty much the best utility Paladins had and its nerfed.

 

Auras? So they say its more than focus and less than charge, thats a value range between 2.5 or 4.5. I'd assume its 3m aura, yeah right, "fixed" alright. Was nothing and still is nothing.

 

Reinforcing Exhortation? You were either a tank and didnt need it, or a squishy and didnt really need it either, so whatever..

Isn't Suppress Affliction a priest spell?

[Update #96: The Road to Eternity]

Nicely done, except for the "hard" transition between scenes - if you'll revisit the documentary, maybe add a fade effect? Or at least play some sounds of the following scene at the end of the previous scene to make the transition seem softer?

 

As a software developer in comparatively smaller projects (we do not have an audience in the hundred thousands or even millions o_O ) I was somewhat shocked about the raw number of bugs that Tim Cain had on his fix list - and impressed by how fast he got that number down. Currently considering an offer for him to join our team to squash bugs

 

[edit]

@Evange: What edition did you pre-order? I think the documentary is not part of all editions.

I preordered the Hero Edition...

[Update #96: The Road to Eternity]

I pre-ordered PoE. Do I get the documentary too? Steam downloaded the documentary update for me but I couldn't find it in the game folder.

[Trun Based vs Real Time RPG combat...?]

Nope never liked traditional turn based games. I prefer real time turn based games as positioning is fun to me.

[How to build a melee Cipher?]

I tried using Cipher as a melee off tank once and didn't like it. Too much micro.

 

Ciphers are best staying in the back lines firing off guns and using their powers.

[Lost the Priest]

Did you tell Durance to leave your party? If you do, he'll be gone forever.

[How do I keep a Rangers pet alive?]

Itumaak is too weak. I wished she had a bear instead. Arctic bear maybe?

[Are Paladins really not that bad?]

It is still 1 per encounter isnt it? how pathetic is that

2 times. Are you sure you play paladins...

[1.06 Patch]

No major issues addressed. No changes to AI or Stronghold mechanics. Frustrating.

 

What about the expansion? People are finishing the fifth playthrough by now.

Major issues not addressed and yet people are finishing the fifth play through? Lolwut

[Are Paladins really not that bad?]

Huzzah for 1.06 Pally buffs! They finally added an accuracy bonus for FoD. Lol

[1.06 the Paladin Patch]

Awesome buffs! But since Liberating Exhort is moved down so is there a new ability to learn at level 11?

[1.05 killing them with love series]

Yup happened to me too.

[1.06 Patch]

Are my eyes playing tricks on me??? Paladin buffs?? Praise Torm!!! Huzzah!!!

[Are Paladins really not that bad?]

I think no class has a stronger item than the outworn buckler...

Ok...I was thinking more along the lines of Holy Avenger...

[Are Paladins really not that bad?]

I wish there were more powerful Paladin only items...

[How viable is a 2H DPS Fighter, why create one ?]

 

 

What is the power of this build ? What are the pros and con ?

2H DPS Fighter vs DW rogue comparation ?

How much damage can do a 2H DPS fighter? (seems important to me) *anyone have a demonstration of damage with 2H Dps Fighter?*

Thanks again, and sorry for many posts.

In terms of DPS a 2H fighter will definitely lose to a DW rogue but the fighter will require much less micro

I believe in terms of damage output a 2H fighter should be comparable to a 2H pally. My pally highest crit was 76 so the DPS is actually quite decent.

Fighter can definitely do more damage than pally. That being said my pally did 150, animancer boots be praised. ;p

Jolting touch eh...heh

[How viable are Edér, Aloth, GM on PotD as opposed to hired NPCs?]

Edér is set up fairly well when you pick him up; his Res and Per are lower than you would want on a Tank, but give him Wary Defender and Weapon and Shield Style and he'll do fine anyway. Aloth's stats aren't driven as high as you would on a min/maxed build, but his Int is pretty decent and he's a Wood Elf, so he's not going to have any accuracy problems. Honestly, the only downside to Aloth is that his grimoire doesn't have Slicken and it can take a while to track one down that does; now that you can turn off autoleveling, you can probably fix that anyway. Grieving Mother's stats are the only ones that are way off from where you'd like them to be.

 

You can always use IE Mod if you're really concerned about NPC stats.

GM's Per has been swapped with her Int in 1.05 so she makes for a good CC cipher.

[Looking for tips on my 6th member/companion]

Use the auto pause function liberally. Try enabling all in the auto pause menu and turning off individual items as you get more experience with the gameplay.

 

My top picks for auto pause would be:

 

1. When enemy is spotted

2. When trap is detected

3. When party member finishes a spell or ability

4. When enemy cast spell or ability

5. Party member low endurance

[Is Liberating Exhoration working properly now?]

Thank you for your help Raven no worries I was just being dumb I see what you mean now! I tested it last night a lot and it works for Paralyze and stuck now which it did not before. A BIG thing people have to realize though is it that is suspends effects that were on the ally WHEN you cast it. Afterwards other debuffs can be reapplied. Its still good to get your tank/self or a squishy party member out of a really debilitating debuff. You usually aren't getting spammed by Paralyze etc so getting out of that one big debuff can be huge.

Does it work on Charm/Confused/Dominated?

[Are Paladins really not that bad?]

 

Ok I just realised that Zealous Focus gets suppressed by the accuracy buffs casted by my priest. Lolwut

Yep Paladin Auras get supressed by spells. So paladin eh..provides action economy? Or maybe just an meatshield

Oh well, anyway I chose ZF aura in order to get the hits to crit talent so in a way that's still bearable.
