The Josip

Does Ancient Memory stack if there are more chanters in a group? I assume not but want to be sure. In other words, do I take this on more than one Chanter or not? Do chants that affect foes stack? In particular, the chant that lowers endurance. Is there a point in having more chanters use that one? What's the consensus on Talents? Overall I'll be able to pick 4 of them by max level no? Aside of Marksman and weapon spec I'm not sure what to take. Some look interesting but I lack experience to know how good they would be throughout the game. For example, Fast Runner (on every party member) combined with the movement chant works in the beginning, but does it work later I've no idea. What speed enemies have in mid and engame? Do I enter new floor and get overwhelmed by a dozen enemies in which case there's nowhere to run? That kind of thing. My current main Chanter started with 19-10-18-8-19-4 (ranged). Is that well optimized? If I add more Chanters to a group what would be their stats, both for tank, off-tank and support/dps? Is there any point in Chanter using a pike? I'd love to have one like that, but I'm hesitant because I fear he'd get squished without a shield and full defensive build. Note: This is for PotD+Ironman, so "Normal" and "Hard" tactics and choices don't apply.
