It will be more than viable once bash will work with carnage (hopefully next patch) -> Dragon's Maw Shield+The Unlabored Blade.

Moon godlike chanter - has speed, ranged attack (chant), summons and heals.

I created a fresh human character and I was very surprised to discover that his Fighting Spirit ability isn't triggered when he reaches 50% endurance.

There is a nerf AND a bug. The bug involves the fact that disposition doesn't count anymore, only player level (you'll get maximum 5lvls for Faith and Conviction when you reach lv16). The nerf was double - to Faith and Conviction itself (it starts at +4def/+8for/ref/will instead of +5def/+10for/ref/will) and to Deep Faith (+2def/+3for/ref/will instead of +2def/+5for/ref/will). If you add the nerf to base deflection in 2.0 the paladin lost overall +6def/+4for/ref/will since the beginning of the game.

Of course - you have Wē Toki (prone) and Godansthunyr (stun).

They give 10% ranged damage.

Because of the way lash damage is calculated. For goldpact it will be (75%dmg - burn DR/4) while for bleakwalkers it's (75%dmg - burn DR/4 - corrode DR/4). Also goldpact benefits more from Scion of Flame - you'll do 90% burn dmg, while bleakwalkers 60% burn + 25% corrode. A rogue can also solo if you build him like a tank - ie heavy armor, shield and defensive talents. You get Deathblow at lv11 and you can make it work when solo if you have high INT because you can stack multiple effects... However paladins are superior at soloing of course.

Goldpact > bleakwalker and arquebus > blunderbuss for a FoD paladin. And for burst damage rogue > ranger.

He waits for 7 days if you do nothing. If you help him the quest is finished and he leaves. After that he will return from time to time to sell you items, like he did previously...

Because all bonuses on weapons/shield stack with everything. If you have the same kind of bonus on armor (doesn't matter if it's on the same piece) the weakest will be suppressed. The same thing happens with a durgan enchanted Colored Coat - the -10% armor speed penalty will be suppressed.

Silver Flash+Steadfast for Pallegina. Sunlance and Divine mark with Scion of Flame ftw.

Yup. You can't. There is no way to say "Stay in Caed Nua Friend" without previously joining companion (except when Your party is full), so in solo achievements You won't be able to complete Turn Based Quest (tbh any quest at all) neither most of "someone is asking for escort", "someone is asking of help". Also TCS Completionist is probably impossible to make :-P My TCS at least was speedrun (in around 3 hours). I'm pretty sure all visitors can be dealt with without the help of a companion. However the stronghold quests and their rewards won't be available solo...

Ryona's Breastplate gives +3int and there's a hunting bow giving +1per.

Don't understand how it's possible to have so many bugs after a beta test and a patch...

GG for your Noober run. What about No Rest for the Pro+The Ultimate in one game? PS. I'm tempted to try it myself but I don't know if I'll ever find the time.

Not really... In fact Iron Wheel is pretty bad in my book because you can't keep your wounds maxed. Once you reach 10 wounds you'll keep the stack for a few seconds and then they'll disappear if you don't use them and you have to build them again...

Indeed, it seems it's not possible anymore to escape them through stealth - they attack me while I'm still stealthed! But outrunning them like you did is just as good. You should be able to tank their normal attacks; their special attacks are avoidable if you want because they're very slow (they punch the ground and then use their shriek) - when you see them start casting you just run a little further...

I didn't like the way the dialogue turns out because you basically have to chicken out and tell her that if she spares you then your watcher abilities might be usefull to her...

Maybe you don't have enough stealth... (I will check again if it works,maybe it changed in 3.01). I know the combat doesn't end, but it's easier to fight them one by one than all three at the same time.

Thank you for the answer, however here's an example showing why I still consider the actual implementation flawed... We can see a paladin using Flames of Devotion (50% burn damage) with Enduring Flames talent (50% burn damage over time) and Runner's Wounding Shot (80% raw damage over time). To the left is Flames of Devotion damage and to the right is Runner's Wounding Shot damage. Contrary to what is expected the lowest damage comes from the wounding part, while the burning parts are both higher than the pierce damage...

With enough stealth you can go out of the tent without being discovered and then kill them one by one.

Don't know if it's possible to steal Wild Leech from a cipher using Acuan Giamas. If it's possible then you can drain 10might which stacks with Champion's Boon...

Yes, I would have like also a "simple" Ultimate achievement (like the Solo achievement), without the expert and the trial of iron options.

Probably it has been already done, however achievements are bugged right now... https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/85158-new-steam-achievements-bug/?hl=achievement

I'd love to see a solo PotD playthrough with a Barbarian. No one seems to try it though. With skipping Adra dragon it's been done long ago before the perception change. Now it should be easier, but no idea whether you have to skip content or not. Yes, it was one of the first to solo when One Stands Alone was bugged and did huge damage with carnage and retaliation... After the nerf it wasn't viable anymore...
