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...

Godlike racials look weak because they can't wear helmets and with the new helmets added by WM2 it starts looking like a big drawback. To be fair they should keep their actual abilities and get something comparable with what helmets can add, not more. Death should get maybe some bonuses per kill, fire could get some fire absorption passive like the Rymrgrand Mantle and for nature some kind of aura offering small bonuses to you and your party...

You have to know what your endgame equipement will be for your party and then it's easier to decide. Now that you have also legendary enchantments you might need to plan even more because you don't want to spend superb/legendary enchantments on the same items.

Up (I would like to hear the official stance on the matter)

Up (even if it seems minor)

Paladin&Cypher

I can confirm the ranger and the paladin can solo every encounter. Probably all classes can solo, but most of them have to skip some content. For the paladin I would wait until next patch because there are some bugs right now.

The reason is the rogue can generate the most focus when there's only a single target to hit. And of course he has the highest single dps which is nice vs bosses.

Composition: Paladin (full defensive build) Cipherx2 (full offensive build) Barbarian (dual wield full offensive build) Chanter (dual wield full offensive build) Rogue (dual wield full offensive build) Strategy: Ciphers open from range to replenish their focus at the beginning of the fight. First cipher will cast Defensive Mindweb and all the party will have the same defenses as the paladin. Second cipher will use Reaping Knives on the rogue. Chanter uses damage reduction chant. Second cipher can keep the paladin stunned using Silent Scream for the entire combat to boost the defenses of the entire party over 200 if really needed (the paladin can still use Sacred Immolation). First cipher can also cast Reaping Knives on the barbarian. Both the rogue and the barbarian get Novice's Suffering for increased Reaping Knives damage. Pros: No need to rest. Moderate micromanagement. Tactics are simple and work for all fights. Fast killing speed due to the huge raw damage potential. Cons: Works only at lv 15+

You should try to pick Persistence - I think you'll have better results even if it will be only exceptional. Other than that I suppose you already have Bartender's Ring, Boots of Speed, Munacra Arret, Lilith's Shawl, Gauntlets of Accuracy, Girdle of Maegfolc Might...

The Engwithan Scepter has the unique Speed enchantment however it doesn't have a gold icon like the other uniques. I made more than once the mistake of selling it thinking it was just a fine scepter, when it's clearly one of the best implements in the game...

The raw damage part of the wounding shot shouldn't be affected by the DR of the target. Right now shooting against a high DR target means also very low raw damage. The wounding part is basically a 100% raw "lash". Lashes are calculated against DR/4 when they are physical/elemental. Raw "lashes" should be calculated against 0DR. Right now Wounding Shot damage is affected by the full DR, which isn't right.

Fully buffed he should be able to reach 80acc... That means he can hit anything up to 165def.

I don't think it's impossible. He only needs to make Thaos use his Cleansing Flame on a summon, then run and shot him and the statues to death.
