[Guide] Permanent bonuses / Approach for a "no rest" run
Sometimes I manage to stack Hylea's Bounty with the Luminous Adra Potion - is there a way to make it consistently or it's just a random bug?

Single class Beguiler for POTD solo run
Maybe Belranga is doable with the beguiler - you charm/dominate the little spiders who will end by killing her eventually. For Dorudugan you can try to run around and shoot him with a bow. For Hauani it might be possible to charm the small oozes from the symbiote and use them as distractions while you shoot the boss with the Essence Interrupter.

Single class Beguiler for POTD solo run
Megabosses have many immunities/resistances and very high resolve meaning you won't be able to CC them (without mentioning you will run out of focus very fast against them).

Returning after a long time: current PotD SOLO strongest builds?
No need for Disintegration anymore, you can apply the curse with Essence Interrupter and Hauani won't split anymore. Obsidian said initially it wasn't intended, but since it was left unchanged we can consider it a feature at this point. That means any class can beat the encounter as long as they're able to kill the first form. PS. I think the herald is a also a good candidate for the ultimate because he can rely on summons for tanking and on spells+summons for damage, avoiding being affected by Abydon's challenge too much.

Is evasive fire worth taking
Evasive Fire has its own damage/recovery and isn't affected in any way by the weapon you carry.

The Ultimate discussion thread Pt 2
You can use a long range spell (Crackling Bolt/ Plague of Insects) to trigger combat and then withdraw Vela far from enemies spawning point. A more extreme thing you can do is to use Anguish to push her away before withdrawing her.

I made an attempt at the Ultimate and I found invisible boars on the first beach - is that one of the Galawain's buffs? At first I thought it was a bug, but when I passed near them a dark smoke was activated which means it was some kind of ability... The only way to see their position was to highlight their circles...

Stacking Disciplined Barrage and Confident Aim on a average Per Crusader
65% graze to hit means you will graze only 11% of the time, but your misses and crits stay the same. However Confident Aim works only for the weapons you're specialized in.

Item synergy question: Rekvu's helmet and Vaporous Wizardry Grimoire
You can get unlimited minor injuries from the pool at the Outcast's Respite.

Gratz! PS. Will you upload your run? The ooze and Dorudugan aren't very hard because you can easily withdraw Vela and then pull them away from her. Then you can use the Dichotomus Soul to do the tanking while using the Long Pain/Whispers of the Wind to deal damage... And yes, only Lover's Embrace requires true stealth, while the other items (cloak and helm) with stealth abilities work also from invisibility.

Arcane Reflection does nothing here. If you lower Belranga's defenses enough and stay in melee range she will be killed eventually by the AoE of her little spiders (combusting wounds will speed things up)...

With the SCmonk you need first to reach lv13 without combat. At lvl13 you get unlimited Dichotomous Soul which are stronger than the Substantial Phantom (they also duplicates your items) and IMO can carry you until lvl19 when you get Whispers of the Wind. From there most of the fights can be done just by spamming WotW (Voidwheel/Keeper of the Flame can be used to generate wounds, while health on kill/regen items will heal you back) - using WotW won't degrade your weapons and being invisible most of the time means you won't be hit very often either. Of course the monk is less cheesy and has probably a harder time keeping Vela alive (he needs scrolls), but I think it's still a solid choice unless I'm missing something...

Anyone tried SC monk for the Ultimate? It looks like the only melee class able to deal with Abydon's challenge...
-
The Ultimate discussion thread
What exactly is reflected back? Her ranged attack or her consume?
-
The Ultimate discussion thread
It works for all classes?
-
The Ultimate discussion thread
Well, well... that trick allows monks, chanters and bloodmages to win plenty of fights safely from stealth, just by using summons.

How do you prevent Vela from being aggroed by the monsters?
-
The Ultimate discussion thread
Yes, I didn't pay attention to the choices on my phone - it looked like he died during the dialogue... PS. I'm glad my videos were helpful.
-
The Ultimate discussion thread
That's really stupid, I thought the game was paused during dialogues...

Backstab build with whispers of the endless paths - still broken?
The first version of the WotEP worked like that indeed, but after the nerf they removed the first hit and left only the AoE part. Didn't test since the last patch but in theory you should be able to backstab multiple enemies if they're in the 2m range.

Someone already did a full run of the ultimate: 🤣

With Abydon's challenge enabled?

The Ultimate discussion thread
Not really... The only video where a guy killed a mega boss fast was because he had something like 20+ resting bonuses stacked using an exploit (and he was playing also in fast mode).

The Ultimate discussion thread
I think you don't understand the problem here. The issue isn't about not being able to craft of them, but about not having enough of them for an encounter. You can have at most 30 scrolls per encounter which means you can cover about 20min of a fight. All mega bosses fights last easily twice as long...
-
The Ultimate discussion thread
Not true, because you won't have enough scrolls of withdrawal for mega bosses... Also you can't cast it again before the previous one expires which means there will be always a small window of vulnerability for Vela even with scrolls.
