Help with doing a solo Wizard/?
You should know that soloing encounters at low level is very hard even for the most experienced players. Only a handful of classes don't need to skip fights at the beginning, the others have to gain experience without fighting in order to become strong enough. Chanter/blood mage and paladin/blood mage are both solid, but don't expect to destroy everything from the beginning. Stats make very little difference, don't focus too much on that.

Maybe it's also possible to get Tempered Fury from Amra. 😀

Assassin solo run
Assassin/Tactician gains Brilliant while invisible and can restore his resources at any time. You can play it like a sniper but also as a melee dps once you have Unbending. You can restore your resources either by becoming invisible, either by flanking all enemies - you can apply gouging strike in an AoE with a mortar or flank passively all engaged enemies with Persistent Distraction.

Assassin solo run
Assassin/Bleak Walker with Flames of Devotions and arquebus has the highest burst damage from stealth and can easily kill enemies one by one. He's also a very solid melee character with good defense and damage. It's also the only combo able to stack 3 infinite dots.

Permanently borrowed spells fix?
If you import your old MC as a hireling with the highest level maybe it's possible to keep his abilities.

Permanently borrowed spells fix?
That's nice - then you don't need to switch grimoires anymore. Maybe that's the easiest way to get every spell - use a hireling with only the spell you need learned and steal it from him. 🤣

The spiritual weapons won't have the increased lash, but Firebrand and its fire damage is nice.

Permanently borrowed spells fix?
Well, since you can just spam some powerful wizard spells and kill really fast I don't think those would make a big difference. Also you should keep in mind that you will use them as a PL0 priest/druid and they will be less effective than usual (less acc/dmg/pen).

Permanently borrowed spells fix?
Some spells are harder to obtain than others, don't know if it's bad luck or the chance is not the same. However I managed to get the best ones and I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be possible to get all of them (besides the unique ones). Anyway it's not an easy task if you want to get everything.

Permanently borrowed spells fix?
Wizard's imprinted spells will end up added in your spellbook with infinite uses if you didn't have them. In other words you can pick any kind of wizard (however a blood mage can spam lvl8-9 spells too) and steal every available spell of lvl7 or less. From druid/priest I don't know what is worth picking besides BDD/SoT... Maybe Withdraw (for the Ultimate), Nature's Bounty?

You can have several drugs? oO
I was also thinking about another trick - the opposite of SoF - the Outworn Buckler can reduce hostile effects and if you switch weapons in combat you should be able to shorten some annoying ones, at least if you don't have high RES. PS. The food stacking still works or it was fixed?

Soloing with a Priest
Yes, it used to prevent the splitting. Then some people complained on the bug forum, the devs said it was unintended and nerfed it. 🙁
-
Soloing with a Priest
Yeah, for monks it's ridicoulously easy to kill Hauani with WotW after splitting. I tried all items/abilities with destroying effects. The only one that works is Disintegration (not sure if it's a feature or a bug 🤣)
-
Soloing with a Priest
I think they stay in place once they can merge. If they start to wander then it would be very easy to prevent them from merging just by turning invisible and killing them one after another.
-
Soloing with a Priest
Don't know if it's feasible or not, but you could in theory upgrade Visage of Death's Herald to Energized and have it for about 1 minute which would allow then to use scrolls of Storm of Holly Fire to try to rapidly deal damage and interrupt. PS. Assassin/Tactician would be a good candidate because he can easily debuff reflex and then become invisible for increased accuracy. When they split for the second time it might be possible also to spam Mule Kick with WotEP because the oozes are smaller.

Soloing with a Priest
How can you have Blade Cascade? If you have Blade Cascade then you can have any buff and it doesn't matter anymore what class you're using. 😉
-
Soloing with a Priest
Once one has his hp low enough it will stay next to the other one and try to merge, it won't follow you. Also Clear out suffers from the same problem as WotEP and it's not even spammable. If you are able to get the energized buff long enough, then you could use a ranged weapon with bounce and interrupt on crits (easier when you target deflection instead of fortitude).

I wonder Wizard/Priest(bloodmage/skaen's) POTD solo play
I was talking about summons without scaling weapons - Animated Weapons, Dichotomous Soul and Wizard's phantoms are all good ones. Other than that they're just expensive damage sponges.
-
Soloing with a Priest
Avenging Storm doesn't stun, only Returning/Relentless Storm and they aren't very reliable because they target fortitude and strike randomly.
-
I wonder Wizard/Priest(bloodmage/skaen's) POTD solo play
All summons without scaling weapons are very weak, not weak. The high level ones are just damage sponges, while the lower level ones aren't even good as damage sponges. Uncontrollable summons should be equivalent to charmed enemies, while the controllable ones (chanter's summons) equivalent to dominated enemies - that's common sense and balance. Whisper of Treason - lvl 1 spammable cipher spell is stronger than most summoning spells in the game - you can charm stronger enemies than any summon without number limit for nearly the same duration.
-
Soloing with a Priest
Won't work either because you can't control the summons and they're too squishy anyway. Avenging Storm helps deal more damage, but won't solve the main problem - without Blade Cascade, Conduit and Bleeding Cut there's no way to kill them fast enough. For solo only ciphers (kill during Disintegrate), blood mages (spam Concelhaut's Crushing Doom), chanters (keep the oozes away with the Animated Weapons) or monks (perma stun with WotW) can deal with Hauani without exploits (ie Blade Cascade & Co). If you don't play one of these classes you're doomed.
-
Soloing with a Priest
Nah, doesn't work with WotEP because you have to target one of the oozes and the cone won't reach the other. Also they can still merge even if one of them is untargetable (for example casting Stasis Shell on one of them doesn't prevent it).
-
Soloing with a Priest
You can't interrupt both oozes at the same time.
-
I wonder Wizard/Priest(bloodmage/skaen's) POTD solo play
This combo becomes powerful only at high level and requires heavy buffing to be effective (which becomes boring pretty fast). I wouldn't recommend it for normal play unless you want to use exploits (at which point it's better to pick a class that you really enjoy and use Strand of Favor).
-
Soloing with a Priest
You should be aware that you won't be able to kill the ooze megaboss with this combo.
