Panda Baby

ah i see, guess i was just very unlucky then, especilly her will was lowered as eder was usng sun grazer. but what surprised me in this fight was effectiveness of some scrolls and potions. esp the ray of fire scroll. used 2 maelstorm scrolls and was shock of the damage that stuff output too, using BpM and CP was expecting some OP scrolls to be a bi t tuned down

oh well...sucks ofc since after helping them all refused sell me stuff and treated me like a bad guy...i decided to kill everyone in the village ^^ ungratful folks serves them well lol but i didnt mean to kill him i accidentqlly saved over the save before the fight and couldent go back.

ah i see the level 1 wiz spell nd eder bell worked wonders. rymgrand was so easy to kill after that its a shame is there a way keep the portal open without acceptin a deal with him? but i have a major issue now all merchants in town after killing rymgrand and portal closing no more wanna sell or talk to me at all ! i sold most my stuffs to them esp grimoires and now i cant buy it back ? what the heck?

ok finally killed her again. thanks to whoever sugested sungrazer and some scrolls. ray on fire scrolls and eder bell interupts + ^pene potions definitly made it thanks guys managed od it on veteran upscaled thanks to u love u important note tho : the chant suposed strip concentration DOES NOT work at all. ive been chanting all combat long and her concentrtaion never went below 4 until i used interupts

grr managed kill her but right before die she kileld eder....i wouldent mind so much but impossible loot his body s i got teleported out... this is some serious bull**** design flaw, being unable loot fallen companion items cus the place teleport u...

yup concelhaut grimoire cud come in handy with his crushing stuff, good i sold all books to same merchant. will definitly respec some caracters etc for make my party more prepared for this encounter and restart the dlc i need aproche the game more like WoW with interupts and dispels thant simple aoe mono whackin like poe 1 had. im having a blast have my ass kicked here due to mechnics, it make feel every spells usefull , or such. her AR tho even without lengrath is at 17-18, how you guys fight high ar targets with only 12 13 pene weapons? if the debuffs run out

haha that works if u wasnt stupid like me and didnt sell all grimoirs but one u use , i understimated the mechanics of interupt and dampeners or such in this game. the dlc is not very long so i dont mind restart it for a chance to go back buy back stuff i sold like a moron

yup i will definitly try use that ancient+aef, but according to tooltip in game he seem to have some crush damage resist when 0 to slash no? i got sungrazer and will put it on eder yup, her high ar stay problematic but i will use expose vulnerabilites ofr interupt. time check my foods too. thats all good advice

you mean the effect of "resist affliction" only downgrades the afficlition? like petrify to para or fright to shaken? didnt know. well i didnt have much luck so far with the rolls, and that doggo have so much hp takes forever, guess i need keep try save the petrify spells for when its lower hp and try finish it then or stop her buffs. alot solo class, fessina multi. i have the icebreakers yh not the perfect stuffs but thanks to all this precious advice maybe i can figure something out with my junks. thx

think i took the concentration striping chant yh, not much for interupt tho well lessons learned hard way...

hi, well xoti have level 4 priest spell inflicting terrified, butit has no effect on the dragon, he is resistant to resolve afflictions and terrified is one no ? at least according to the wiki. or its her accuracy the issue. like a moron i sold all unused grimoires so guess not much in my bag or stash allowing to cast dampener or ryngrind...though i think i seen a weapon inflicting dampener on hit but unsure if i didnt sell it.... meh i feel like an idiot now...im new to game so some aspect i didnt totally beat into my head yet... guess stupid me should restart whole Bow dlc as no way exit now the fight...except lowering dicculty but unsure if that will work? if i lower now will i be able put it back to hard upscaled after ? or maybe i just untick upscaled and hope it suffise... but thanks for the advice regarding the terrified/frightened any tips for the ar issues? thanks again

sup guys, once u enter the white void for do the quests of souls on boW any way out without kill the damn dragon? im on hard+upscaled, she shows as whte with 3 skulls, party level 20, and well....cant manage get her below badly hurt. the fight was going on for over 15 20 minutes with no end...she cant kill my herld, but she dont die either.... the chant dealing raw dmg is on, upgraded sworn enemy for the dot is on, but she just spam lengrath and concelhaut corrosive + some purple ray, and regenerate. i even went afk for 10 min came back still at badly injured...at some point runnning out of zeal too and ending up dying after forever struggle. and this is veteran+up-scaled, how on earth ppl manage kill her on potd or potd+upscale...her life never goes down below like badly hurt...geez. party is fassina aloth eder xoti, so i have lot of fire and raw damage, but that just get to badly injure then her corrosive syphon and abilty to leap on my backlines end up killing them leaving me alone or with eder only. if use empowered firewalls or concelhaut acidic stuff is even worst and run out of ressources, even using chromatic stuff or the axe giving +2 fire power level to aloth. even tried with chant giving fire dmg to all and summons which she wipe like paper... her armor rating always 18-22 for my pene 12 on eder with legendary sable...pointless say i dont hit much dmg. how are u suposed get more pene if even with legendary sabre cant manage get over 12 13 vs foes with 18-22 ar all time...and i dont mention lengrath. sabre i use have a lowering ar stuff but it dont seem to work or proceed enough... this dragon is getting on my nuts...i dont want lower difficulty, but my only other save is start of BOW...wud need re-do all if i want og back do sss or fs first -.-. sucks ideas? thanks

thanks elric for the update.

nice definitly something to give a shot thanks guys

if i remeber correctly the balance polishing patch last version, which i have, made draining wall nerfed big time almost as u only gain 0.25 extend instead 0.5 by enemy or so, and i dont remeber seeing and update to that? the idea seem nice tho, im already adept and a fan of the maggots insects with cumbusting wounds stuff how would you adapt it to party play?

hey thank for the helpful input, as of now my party was mc herlad and eder tekehu aloth xoti, for my next run on potd this time i dont want take tekehu nor aloth. was thinking of a double sorcerer compo with mc sorcerer and fassina, + xoti eder and pallegina herald. dunno if healing wise dmg wise debuff wise that would make a good balance. being a mc conjurer lifegiver or evoker lifegiver for a faire dmg and healing balance, and fassina well cus i like her. however specialising in a sublass dont seem that good to me for mage as being unable pick some spells limit your jack of all trades role in terms of picking what your party need. same goes for druid lifegiver. + speed penalty if use other school spells...maybe blood mage/druid then or smth ? open to sugestions. guess i could recruit customs in tavern and test them out as mc trials for see which combo does it for me for eder as meatshield with pallegina i guess both will sword and shield style. my issue tho is pallegina risk leave if i dont help the vtc which i usually murder cus hate them same as principi

my fassina have wolf form too....is it linked ot community patch? bit lame.

ok now i got some more questions tho lol. i noticed alot healing spells was remove from game, the big ones, and also felt a bit cheesy using tukehu foe only stuff, so first question regarding melee dps, as of now eder run with dual wield sabers, warrior skills and alot of rogue passives for up dmg. in deadfire are dual wielding or two handed or single weapon no shield all equal, or one is better than others? 2 : are scouts or seers a good multi ? i seen lot nice guns and bows in game and ranger seems to output a good amount of damage even by itself, coupled with cypher or rogue should in theory only improve that no ? a 3 : in potd upscaled, is the need of healing that much more important? i mean cept druid moonwell or some priest stuff didnt see much of it anyway, as most time dmg was soaked by tank or debuffs etc. since i decide kill queen tekehu will be gone, i will take fassina instead, so party would be mc eder xoti aloth fassina. with gear sugested by boerorer, my mc can engage 6 or 7 target so far, and rest grabed by eder, the few disengaging arent nth the group can handle, but thinking of potd and how it will affect that. your thoughs guys? thank you

ok so hard + scaled beast and hard not scales sss/fs you sugest?

yes did the flooded cave with lich at 17, and the splintered too at 17; didnt find it that hard will try it at normal + upscale for BoW see if any challenge, else make it hard yh

hey, so being a bit of a completitionist i did all quests, and now i am at point of go ukaizo and already all party level 18, i did my run with classic+all upscaled and found most content too easy, how come? the monsters are suposed upscale yes? yet when i go some areas they obviously way lower level than i am, isnt upscaling suposed prevent this to always keep it fair? i still have all 3 dlcs left, i'm thinking of change difficulty to hard+ all upscaled as i feel going beast of winter + other dlc at 18/20 on normal upscaled would be too easy, your though on it ? how this upscaling works as it dont obviously always do, nd should i increase difficulty for the 3 dlc being 18 now thanks

ok ill definitly give it a go then.

would love to know your thoughs on the balance mode by eric as well

i cant seem to find a thread about the talents skills for casters and tanks/melee detailing their utility and what suck or not. whats your personal income on this guys since you are experts based on all your posts? @thelee @Boeroer what are the must/optional/useless skills/talents to bring for tank/caster/support roles. i mean among the new stuff of poe 2, ones from poe 1 no need go back on it cept if some major changes happened. did read your guides to some builds but its not always set in stone.

well respec in terms of talents or skills probably yh, still reading up all posts here about that ^^ party compo is set herald mc, and priest, sorcerer, swashbuckelr, watershaper companions
