Congrats, give me some tips please: 1. Wouldn't Fire God-Like be better choice? The Way burn damage scale with all barb abilities, you basicly have one more retaliate 53 burn damage to all enemies around. I know moon-like has healing but it is the qustion between: kill faster than die or heal faster than die. Opinion? 2. Did you use Draining Weapon or tried Dual Draining Weapon? (do they stack or work independly?) 3. What other items do you recommend and gear? 4. Did you use summons? 5. How did you manage to deal with Chain stuns/paralyze/disables for example? 6. How was dragon solo fight 7. What weapons you were using and reccommend most? I am prepering myself for another PotD solo with Bard and can't decide between Moon-God-Like and Fire-God-Like. I love the idea of even faster AOE killing with Burn damage with Retalition :D. However I don't know how MUST is healing later in game or in 12-15 Endless Paths. So, any help from you is greatly appreciated! Congrats once more :D

LOL! You can have pre-nerf Mind Blades by simple pasting one file: http://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity/mods/38/? I use it since I love mind blades and I didn't agree with needing to nerfing them. Just use this and stay with Mind Blades . Cheers!

What is drain retalition variant you are talking about? You know that you have still be Fire God-Like and equip Draining weapon or dual of them (there is one Battle axe with Draining and Silletto with draining). I don't know if dual Draining weapons stack but still it can bump your survival a lot.

Question: What retalition items do you use? So far I have only found Sanguine Armor (red plate armor), however I can't find any more retalition items. Did I miss something?

Thank you! Now please explain me "OSA bug 2H/dw" :D. English is not my native and I have problems with such shorts . Forgive me

Ehhhh....I have problem on 12 level of Endless Paths of Od Nua with my solo barb. There is big group of Vithracks there with this main guy "T-something" and they just chain stun/paralyze me... I think I need to get some AOE scrolls for some CC for them.. Did anyone tested if Barbarian for Two-handed is better than Dual wielding one or Weapon/Shield on PotD? Cipher is cool, but you have to remember that he lacks power to DISABLE group of enemies. It is especially frustarating against Vithracks/Casters/Bansheses. You can paralyze one enemy only or daze one and damage enemies around but you lack AOE paralyze/knockdown/stun etc. Against bosses or simple huge melee packs Cipher is god but lack of AOE disable is painfull :/ Btw. Wouldn't Death God Like race trait synergizes superb with Barbarian? Is this trait even worth using. So far I only take Anumanins for my builds.

Hmmm, so many people say good things about Wizards that I might try one in solo.... What build you recommend? And you build it mostly for sword-shield or for 2H? Estocs and Halberds will always be close to my heart ^^. And another questions: did anyone actually built well-balanced monk for solo PotD?

Can you please tell me what do you mean by "ironman"? Yup, Cipher is my favourite class, but I got bored of him after two playthroughs. However Puppet Master and AOE Domination/Charm spell can't be expressed enough. Mind Binding, Mind Blades, Mind Lance and few other powers are too good to pass. Druid would be much better if his spirit forms were stronger. However, thanks to modders there is mod already that boost spiritforms to be usable in solo Hard/PotD so I think I will reroll Druid again, since now I can abuse Bear form heal and Damage reduction (16 with mod, instead of 10). Once again modders do what devs didn't balance yet .

I agree, but there has to be best or few that are better than others at it. It is always like that. So while I know all classes can solo- I ask: which class can do it better/smother? Some classes you need to build more tanky, so you suffer damage, but some are better enough so you can maintaing better damage while staying alive. So- which classes you find so far best for solo PotD. Myself- Druid, Cipher and Barbarian. Wizard for me do not have as good and many AOE as Druid and is less tanky. And lack of self heal is always a problem.

So which class do you consider best for soloing PotD? My types are: Druid (AOE, heals, bear form), Cipher (DPS, Spell Spam, CC, range or melee builds), Barbarian (One Stands Alone and dmg), Rouge My guess (didn’t try them yet): Monk (if find some good tank-build that allow maintain their damage), Chanter (Summons) Rest I can’t judge really. Your opinions?

Since many players (including me) thinks that spiritforms are not strong enough and viable (or just do not scale well) and duration of forms is kind of bugged or broken (there is no duration in description and should last till end of current fight, yet it stop works out of nowhere in middle of fight) I thought that Druid-players might try out this mods for them: Spirit forms tweaks and boosts: http://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity/mods/36/? Spirit forms unlimited duration (till end of fight): http://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity/mods/19/? First mod increase stats of all spiritforms and makes them stronger and so more viable in melee fights and machted their description (“Druid forms give him powerful melee abilities”). Check out mod descriptions. Those are small tweaks not huge buffs. Yet changes are well-balanced and by no means make spiritforms OP, no. Just viable and strong. Second mod fix broken duration of spiritforms and makes them last till end of fight, same as all abilities that can be used once per fight. I recommend it highly, makes soloing PoD much less frustrating when your spiritform don’t stop working in critical moments. So far those are best mods for Druids up there. There are some for Paladins also and Wizards. So far all class mods just tweak broken/underpowered abilities to make the viable so no +100 Might swords and 3x damage spells here :D, do not worry! Mods are not mine and all credits goes up to their authors.

So what class so far and build have you found being best/easiest for solo PoTD? I so far find Tank Druid/Beer form (especially with mod that fix duration bug for Druid forms), 2H Might-Anumanin Cipher Estoc/Halberd/Blunderbuss build and I am trying right now to mess with Barbarian, but still can figure best min/max. May try rouge next. Your thoughts? EDIT: Also did you make a rouge for firearms or bows? I found fire arms (especialy pistols and blunderbusses much better than bows so far).

Any news on that? I wish I could edit my powers on Cipher to remove some and add other, since I picked up one or two that I do not use. I can use Cheat Engine to add those I want, but I have no idea how to remove those that I picked wrong.

Would like to know this also...

I have more success with melee Cipher. Race- Coastal Aumaua - for +1 Migh and Towering Physique. 21 Might and 17 Perception. All other stats on 10. Gear- heavy armor, every item with Deflection boost and RO, 2h weapon. Most important things- Bitting Whip (20% more damage from weapon, so 40% more damage in total with basic 20% of Soul Whip), Draining Whip (faster Focus generation). INT is low but for solo is not that important to have bigger AOE for few reasons: 1. All enemies focus on you so in bottle necks they stand on each other. 2. You have unlimited Spell Spams so you can constant CC enemies. 3. You deal HUGE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE from weapon thanks to 40% more damage. 17 Perception gives enough Deflection with Heavy Armor to not be insta-killed. Race ability helps against CC attacks of enemies. So far melee Cipher deals more damage than my barbarian for single target from melee. Most important things is- you get so much Focus per attack that you can just lock all enemies or one with your powers all the time or use most devastating AOE spells and single target CC. I will write more details later, but Melee Cipher rules and unlimited spells are boss in this game. You can lock entire group of mobs all the time

I downloaded IE Mod. I wrote in console "Iroll20s", I click on my char, I typed "ChangeClass" and nothing happened. I had message in log "No command or script accepint ChangeClass 0 permimeter exists" Any ideas?

Hello, I play my Cipher, I was using Amplified Thrust many times before. I just got Stronghold and went to dungeons and started to fight ogres (3rd level). I was using amplified thrust for like last 10 minutes and it has no effect. There is animation, sound and in game-log it says that my character use it but there is no Damage dealt nor push back effect. It is strange becasue yesterday in the dungeon below ruined temple I was using it with effect.... I have no idea what causes this bug. Did anyone have simillar bug? I like this power due to strong single target damage (40-59 damage in my 4th level 21 Might Cipher) and right now I literally lost one skill point ( Anyone can help?
