[Ranged Cipher build advice]

Hi guys,

 

I'm planning on rolling a ranged Cipher for my PC, and I was looking on some feedback on attributes scores, skills, abilities, talents etc. for the first few levels

 

There's some stuff on Youtube and on the forums, but I noticed the day 1 patch gave the class a serious overhaul and I'm afraid most information is outdated by now. 

 

Does anyone have any post-day 1 patch feedback on this?

 

BTW I was thinking of going with a human (for aesthetic reasons) and using a blunderbuss if that is still a viable tactic

Allright, Cipher it is! Now I'll just have to find a proper ranged build...

I agree the Cipher has more interesting lore than the Druid (too hippie for my taste), but you will likely be in combat for a large portion of the game, and the Druid's spells look really cool.

 

Decisions decisions...

 

BTW for Cipher I was thinking about using a ranged weapon (likely blunderbuss) due to its squishiness. The Druid would get stag form, again because it looks cool

Thanks for the tip. I'm not planning on doing PotD on my first run, and besides I don't really enjoy playing a tank class, which in part led me to the Cipher and Druid

Hi guys,

 

I'm really having a hard time deciding between Druid and Cipher for my player character.

I usually enjoy playing with a not too squishy spellcasting hard hitter with some added utility skills for variety: F/M and Avenger druid in BG2 for example.

As far as I can tell, both POE classes are not too conventional, are capable of hitting hard and provide varied gameplay.

 

-I like that the Cipher also uses weapons, and that there is no daily limit to their spells.

 

-Druids on the other hand seem a bit more durable, and their spell roster appears a bit more colorful

 

Is there anyone who tried both extensively and is willing to comment on how they compare? Thanks
