Yeah I respect that decision I shy away from doing it too. Envenomed Strike seems really good thought about taking it a few times.

For Alpine you should take bears fort and just for that one fight forget about Int (respec) it's abswolutely useless in the firght rather more Mig and Con. Int is awesome for most encounters just not for the dragons.^^

It does work so I never thought about it before either.

Going tanky is best for cipher even without retaliation focus. I never beat the adra dragon back when I played cipher but it was my first solo and I was completely clueless and Thaos gave me a run for my money alreadey.^^

Haha yeah too many things I didn't know abut the game back then including using the right door. :D

That's interesting I found wizard's defenses vastly superior to ciphers easrly game.^^

I always used the other door before Kaylons and another guys vid, it worksd too it's just slightly more rng based .

Yeah the staff is a lot of fun.

Oh it's the secondary effect. Yeah defiant resolve only works on attacks that primarily target will.

I always thought that targets deflection? Haven't really noticed it not working, but I mainly focus on stuff like drasgon fights or spells, works fine there.

OhCiphers and wiz's are a lot of fun.^^ I watched your short wiz playthrough and it starts really rough. I guess later on it should rock with so many spells. There aren't many info around about solo casters as well Well Casters take more damage but they also deal more. I had a lot of fun with wiz compared to cipher it's definitely an easier start and cipher was my first solo before paladins.^^

Oh Ciphers and wiz's are a lot of fun.^^

Lol that was some broken ****.^^

Pf flanked means nothing. :D (At least if you have my rng. )

I would either go Cipher Chanter or Cipher Pally. You obviously can go pretty much any route and make it viable, but having a tank combined with massive dps and CC is super nice. Also cipher deals with aggro very well in using Ectopsychic Echo. And ofc once you are level 15 you will have two tanks because of Mindweb.

I like Tidefall. Used it even on solo Pally for a lot of encounters, but it was more of a fun thing to do not the ncessarily best. But that's the good thing about PoE for new players you don't need the very best to get through, RPs are very viable.

I learned soooooo much from your solo paladin playthrough. I think I wouldn't even bother to start a solo game if I hadn't find those videos. Should do something similar to other classes! Thank you I really want to continue my wiz and do an ultimate chanter run. maybe I'll find the time soon.

This thread gives me all kinds of ideas. Shame this game is still so full of bugs.

Made my day.^^

Before 13 high Int is not that useful, 10 is enough. I have it almost maxed or even maxed in my Trio party and even though it's still plenty of stat points the Int is just not that big of a deal. As to scrolls I never feel the need of them, even with kana in my Trio party who has high lore, I barely ever touch them, they are powerful, but also super cheesy, personal playstyles I guess.^^

Good advice, but why Lore? I never use Lore.,^^

When you play in potd and you have only 2 camping supplies it becomes very tedious and time consuming to return to town if you want to rest often. There's also an achivement which requires less than 10 rests over the entire game. Also I personally hate to rest if I don't need to rest for resetting per rest spells/items.

Idk I prefer the potions I never have the luxury of spending a talent on something that can be done with a potion.^^ But then again I don't play with full parties so I have to spend my talents slightly more careful.

Nah, engagement is ****.

Sorry, was not aware @jojobo: yes healing remains, you can heal yourself from Red to full in 2-3 fights. Don't be sorry mate, your post makes even more people aware of it. Don't think EVERYONE except you knew it.^^
