hey, sorry for resing an old thread but after much thinking instead my usual herald decided for my potd run give a try to arcane knight with the above mentioned parry with wotep set got questiosn stat wise @Boeroer for my potd up run with berath base stat would be : 12 might ( 13 when get gift of machine active , 14 with cauldron ) 6con 15 dex 18 perc ( 19 when galawain boon) 18 intel ( 19 when get pool blood bonus ) 20 resolve ( 21 with plains ) do you think this wil be fine ? or should i reduce dex a bit for up con or for up base intel/per as to get 20 with blessins thanks

nice, way of proceed is same ? u summon the weapon then summon blight or concelhaut and let it expire without using it till end combat ?

u mean bugs are still so many on pathfinder? but isnt the game new kind of, i only seen it gog recently in new arrivals

this run i will take sc priest sc mage sc druid cus previous run didnt have acces to most epic stuff as had lot multi classed. i was thinking of make maybe mc arcane knight with gold pact+enchanter subclass for build it like a melee dmg dealer with buffed defenses/dmg from martial/lengrath spells, but had trouble set AI for it properly and well...miss my chants, but i definitly want make a run at some point with an arkane night+ devoted or unbroken warrior with parry mechanism of that big sword as a tandem. having pure mage i wan test that blackbow phantom stuff especially if it can be used with one of the martial spells that disable casting or smth like that, love to experiment. i was thinking if use berath blessings on potd upscaled for start at level 4 wouldent be too killjoy. well i can always do potd upscaled and reduce if some fight become impossible. i wanted play deadfire since it came out but i didnt have a laptop for it good enough...now i feel frustrated i wasted 3 years since this game is out before finally be able enjoy it now that its out of support and live.. @thelee post on pathfinder really got my interessed too, game seem a bit like deadfire.

so u mean u basicaly wield a 2h weapon, in one hand, but using the 2h great sword modal and being able benefit 1h sword style bonus skill too? geez....

how does dual wielding work in poe 2? when u hit with 2nd hand weapon i seen only small portion dmg applies.. , but does the one hit efffects work fully in applying? like if my second hand weapon has armor redcuce on hit or such will it apply to target despite dmg being very small?

what proficency need be used with it then, single weapon or dual ?

really? is that critzal stuff a bug ? seems weird that when cocnelhaut touch expire it revert to citzal instead base weapon. surprised it wasnt corrected in bpm or cp lol but it sounds fun. actually the arcane knight build seems fun to play too with enchanted subclass for buffs and melee spells. that devoted parry buildseems fun too. something that the ai can handle not too bad ideally as my micro is already lot taken on priest mage druid

i see so indeed flat con seems ok i like the bear idea or the lifegiver one yh, sounds interesting, require more micro menagement but sounds fun to have that extra druid what are your though on crusader? the warrior have some nice defensive passives what of the dex and perce spread ? a 7 to ratio compare to maybe a 12 12 or 10 12 ? i feel with too low perc my tankish tank wont able hit anything

ah ok, so thats where they gone guess need wait to reach a certain place for recover them , thank you. @Boeroer @thelee @Not So Clever Hound say guys since dun want remake a thread just for that, since you around, and you always play on potd, for a tank is constitution more relevant in potd than other settings? i assume monster hit for harder and got bettter accuracy so have a low con like 8-10 like i had in non potd if u get hit, can get you in trouble no? or its still fine to have it lowed. stats including berath blessings and racial with background, but not including pool/heritage, would be : 18mig/10con/7dex/15 perce/20intel/20 resolve ( pale elf , the white that wends, for the freeze fire dmg redce as i do lot of friendly fire with them) i hesitate between invert dex and perce and consti. wearing a heavy armor with low dex would make me awfully slow which if u want maek a quick res and heal right after aint so great...dunno how balance the 3 for potd upscaled. have low life even with high armor seem risky would love your inputs on that

hey, i made a new game with setting explicitly history in poe 1 content that i sacrificed aloth to bloodpool, absorbed souls for myself at heritage hill and got scale breaker. yet i dont get any benefit of it, isnt doing this actions in poe 1 history suposed give u +1 mig +1 intel in poe 2 if u play with custome made past ? but nothing happen was this bonuses removed of poe 2 ? i could swear seen a post from 2018 saying they existed

weird but when i tested with berath priest i only had 1 creature summoned...the pallid knight, didnt have the usher appear

obsidian made it hard to appreciate any of the factions in poe 2 cept maybe rautai principi slavers and bandits huana seem nice but end up elitist jerks making their own people suffer in a casts society valians even if support animancy only care of business at price of locals rautai are conquerors yes but at least rautai care of rautaian people, when other 3 dont care of their own folks this run i associated with rautai but i gone with my own ship instead submarine, guess on my potd i will just go solo into the storm i wan battle guardian i dont remeber option for ask dragon to leave a bit of his soul? if i do this can i free him and battle guardian or the only option is truelly slay/chain dragon?

@Elric Galad hi elric, i see a new version is available on nexus, but for the love of santa i cant find change log, where i can see all changes compared to previous version? @Boeroer same question for u regardin latest CP mode update... thanks guys love ya mods

for berathsummons, what you mean i get 2 of them? the spell only summon 1 pallid knight, u are not allowed have 2 summons up same time do you? i take exemple of xoti who could only have 1 level 9 vine up, if u summoned a 2nd one, the first exploded. usin the balance polish mode with summon balance btw dunno if that affect this or if incarnates are diffrent of classic summons such as vines. true wizards are so versatile. and a bit squishy hehe, but with blood mage the spare points from empowers can go to lengrat and martial aye. by the way, how come on my new playthrough i dont get the bonus from gift of machine and pool of blood? in my poe 1 history i did precise i sacrificed aloth and kept souls to myself which should have granted me +1mig and +1intel, did i miss something?

haha yh my first play was mc herald and i loved it much lol cus it was tanky as hell RP speaking and variety speaking its what i enjoyed. res from chant, res from paladin, some stuns, some passive buffs...i really had a blast with it and cant think of another being as versatile but open to sugestions. im in love with the jack of all trades use of herald and tankiness and universallity in terms of druid rust armor and maelstorm are awesome agree, but can be from scroll, a sorcerer mix only have 1 use of rust armor at level 20 which is bleh. i only used maelstorm on 2 encounters, bow dragon and weal oracle, as it was op and i didnt want abuse it much cept to be unable beat the boss without this extra help.same for other scrolls. i assume potd and potd upscaled will be lot harder. i was hesitating yh about priest between berath and wael as berath offer pallid summon and rust armor, even if rust armors dont stack have a priest able cast it considering sorcerer have only 1 cast of it is a welcome bonus. the berath symbol is nice too for small extra dmg. is the summon of berath really that good in compare ? to all good stuff priest of wael bring ? extra gaze of adragan, confusion, free iconic, arkemyr...thats alot goodies too. for skaen except the beyond ability and the free mass blind i dont see anything special in it, mind enlighten me i enjoyed cipher in poe but in poe2 somehow dislike them dunno. sure some nice abilities but dunno...dont feel the magic hehe. sc druid only seems interesting to me for maelstorm which seems cheesy,? his other level 8-9 spells dont seem that great to me , but feel free correct me. a party made of sc blood mage, sc life giver, sc priest could be fun too yh instead hybrid sorcerer , why not.

sup guys, me again so, i did all my playthrough from nekataka onward basicly in veteran+all upscaled mode. execept dragon in BOw and reef vampires and wael oracle didnt foudn it particulary challenging, hated sss exp so just did the minimum required fights. loved FS i want take next run higher, shoud i potd or direct potd + upscaled ? will there be a noticeable diffrent between veteran+all upscale and potd no upscales? on my next run i will use some henchies as i really cant suport xoti and aloth anymore, they are hell annoying. party compo will be mc herald, eder ( love him cant pass him up), bloodmage/lifegiver hench, priest of wael hench, and nr 5 pure mage hench, probably blood mage or evoker ( i love lvl 9 missil spell) i didnt find myself using empowering much for boost spells or rarely, mostly was for replenish on long fights, so having blood mage and no empowers dont seem such a big deal. could maybe even do priest/druid mix and take 2 pure blood mages for the sake of it, as the priest level 8 and 9 sells didnt seem so much game changing to me but maybe in potd it will any thoughs? one thing i noticed is crush damage weapons seems to be the best for most bosses as their crush def are lower than others excep a few exceptions. ( and awesome modals). also i will probably use more arcana for scrolls, except diplomacy other skills didnt seem much relevant through my playthrough

sucks big time.

bleh...how nice of him but really ... is there a way free the dragon without him removing guardian of ukaizo? i dont kill him or keep him chained

hey guys, arrived ukaizo, fought off 2 engwithan titans at harbor and that it...was no guardian of ukaizo..just this 2 big metal dudes.. is that normal? only balance and cp mods then was able continue to eothas and end game... disapointed....what happened to my stuff?

weird. maybe i confused still sucks for shades, thanks guys

sucks for shades but ok, but for food its not normal, you sould be able drag it into quick slot item for consume before a fight ? i did it many times during my play so i dunno why sudden cant

so ater spending like feel forever in SSS on killing that motherf...... unvulnerable shades one by one, and finally killing the last...nothing happen, im stuck in the damn arena, end sequence no triger....ideas? this fight was a real pain it took forever i reallyd un wan restart it from 0 esp if its for have it bug again, helps ? bug 2 : i cant anymore move any food from stash to inventory keep says food can only be consumed when resting...what the heck...

oh for god sake hahaha club club yes the kapana taga i use lol

i had both my mc herald with mace modal on and eder with flail one on as well sorry for the confusion. anywya fight itself was nice, it was first real challenge i met on a boss since start of game. after finishing sss may try some of mega bosses. will make a new thread soon about my next playthrough on potd non scaled this time, as got a many questions regarding some classes etc panda
