Well clearly what you described tigranes is very situational more like his wizard died because you need to be melee or flanking for fan of flames to work and it is main damage spell early , meanwhile your party has like 1 hard cc spell at best , basicly if you want pure spellcaster wizard he is gona have to get carried trough early game by rest of the party or you go melee battlemage approach and its easier that way .

Only legit ranger builds include quick switches blunderbusses island aumaua envenomed strkes and wounding shots , If somebody proclaims that melee rogue is better than ranged one .. well its just your opinion/preference no way ranged could loose to melee due to all the moving/positioning/pathfinding involved in melee combat of PoE meanwhile ranged character just stands and nukes from the begining of the fight ( assuming you do correct build and pick the right weapon ofc and that is a warbow preferably cloudpiercer for the rending and jolting touch ) , ranged rogues does all the same you described just they massacre stuff from 12 meters range , but the advantage here is that it is way better early and much safer in hard fights later on, only disadvantage is when scripted pre combat crap puts you infront of huge mob of enemies , gotta burn shadowing beyond then . Every thread about rogues gets overrun by bonding grief discussion lel

Arcane Veil + Hardened Veil talents should be no brainer +75 Deflection is a thing . Then i would go for Fire + Corrode Damage's , and last 2 talents depending on what you do with your wizard But those 4 talents is good for any wizard variation also its strange but wizards function in melee better in this game imo basicly because of fan of flames hence why you need arcane veil even with a backline wizard , so you can safely cast fan of flames when needed to .

Backstab needs shadowing beyond to work and then its 2 per rest , anybody see critical flaw's in design here ? Imo backstab should be part of sneak attack seeing how weak and situational it is it should just be given free to rogue then if you get shadowing beyond you can use it tacticaly sometimes for backstab , as for now you need to spend 2 talent points for something that is twice per rest and pretty situational

1.06 will be all about nerfing wizards back to normal power levels , and buffing some random class that is already good like barbarian or a priest maybe :D i bet 10$ rangers,paladins,druids(spiritsh1t) wont be looked into .

Any suggestions for good Battlemage hireling build for Triple Crown post 1.05 for offtanking with self buffs also focusing on debuffing and one or two schools of magic ( fire for aoe and corrode for drain for example), frontline will be fighter maintank and chanter+battlemage offtanks? what attributes to go , thinking to dump Con to 3 and max resolve , not sure about the rest especially dexterity and perception , might and int i guess should be very high or maxed too. Fire GodLike race ,

heh your problem is that you bothered to play this extra easy game on normal probably with a full party that just means that your opinion is null of a casual scrub and these games should never be made for casual scrubs

Just keep defending such developers lol , and they gona keep ****ting in your mouth :D

No self respect in you little fanboys to be defending this , when you are the ones that got burned for Kickstarting best CRPG ever to be that turned out to be candy made of **** in a shiny paper Is not about liking the game or not : When i play PoE i see how good of the game it could have been if developers cared after they got the $$$ . At some points i almost forget flaws and really enjoy it but there are just too many problems to call this a good game at the moment , and NO i dont want 10 patches + 2 expansions to get a good game , this shouldnt be the case .

You missed a best CRPG that was promised to you .

According to Tigranes, there is a technical issue which compels them to do so, on RPGCodex he said: "The forum has a weird (read: stupid) quirk where after, say, 25 pages, we start to get some random errors, sometimes involving disappearing posts. Thus it is customary to close after that, and invite users to start new ones." Dissapearing Posts you mean LadyKitchen deleting them ?

Stop making excuses just deliver what you promised. A best CRPG . Take your heads out of your asses , PoE is your creation and you should feel ashamed to release it in such state . At very least your product defines you as a company and a definition that comes to mind now is : GARBAGE .

Exp is fine , 12 Level Should never be end game goal , what is the point of your character builds then if you finish them at the very end of the game . Id rather leave exp as it is and see combat encounters rebalalanced heavily : Trash replaced with less but tougher mobs , AI Improvements etc.etc. Make last third of the game to require level 10+ on POTD because of how challenging it is and overleveling wont be a problem anymore . Also this would fix 2 problems at once .

Not the first talent that doesnt work in this game , KICKSTARTER FOR THE WIN .

D&D was something , and this ... this is NOTHING , RPG system that doesnt punish you for mistakes is soooooooooo 2015... fck this

For sure when first 3 posts are complete bull**** captain obvious DR statements roflmao.

These problems occur just because in general combat is way to easy , enemy has no AI , and enemy doesnt try to kill your group they are there just to be killed by you , hey POTD Endless Paths must be hard because there are so many mobs there that usually they just get stuck between each other and stop existing right there .

Lol even cartoons nowdays are complete utter garbage

Lets make whole game about Solo Ironman+Expert+Hardest Difficulty achievement because playing it proper way ( with a full party ) will definitely be fun then ... wait! Why i say whole game is made about that achievement ? Lets think .. OH YES Because the game was made so that it would be possible for ANYONE to get it . And if ANY1 even the dumbest kid on the block can do it with 1 character , how can it challenging with 6? no it cant sry. And IMO the only reason CRPGS ever had any succes because you could have had full control on more than 1 character at the same time which is still not possible in any not isometric or non turn based games . Sawyer(PoE) and Fargo(WL2) are two people who should quit LSD or retire from reviving good old games because they both hyped them so hard and failed so miserably that its not even funny !

Proper Shadowblades is what we miss , ciphers try to cover this but they are not Shadowblades ( Strictly Melee Rogues who use magic and illusion to remain stealthy and its already to late when you saw one ) , also if dual class nonsense ever came into the game Cipher/Rogue would make a shadowblade Also some type of Healer who is not a priest would be welcome ( maybe expand druids on that i dunno ) A spellcaster who is summoner/necromancer(animancer???) but not a wizard It seems that making Ciphers stole both Necromancers and Shadowblades from us , and tbh Cipher is just an OP class that is not even well made .

Game should just save when you press Quit , that way you wont loose save if power went down , but if you fought shades and failed you would press quit and when you load the game you would still be there failing vs shades not at the map entrance !

True i mixed those 2 words for some reason , but still it is written in description , also i was on middle of 2nd playtrough when i found this out , and i instantly rerolled my glasscanon wizard to a battlemage ( and whole party with him ) , there is no reasons to play wizard in the back when he cant cast fan of flames and battlemage just WRECKS everything , imo nothing worse for enemies than a wizard who has no fear of getting insta gibbed :D

That's very interesting information and it would have been really useful before I finished my Wizard playthrough -- too bad it is not documented anywhere. If this is the case, then PoE buffs are not quite as worthless as I thought... Incorrect : Spells that has no recovery time ( mostly self buffs) in description they have a label : Instant Cast

This is definitely accurate : good damage dealer , yes , BUT : You can go for fast reload build with ranger and use arbalest for way more overall damage than this hunting bow crap , You can do a quick switch build with 3 blunderbusses and forgiveness for a burst damage that would take you 30 secs to achieve with god damn hunting bow . Dont do rangers with bows

Try to complete , questline in Ondra's Gift that involves pallegina and doemels
