Aren't these modals worth it only between -4 to -2 PEN ? This is exactly the same range unless I miss something...

That's a really great thread. I can hear the prayers of DPS Paladin lovers.

You're right, based on the fact in the original post. But a lot of people suspect that TB games do have a larger audience. And I've read on this forum that Obsidian is leaning toward TB for POE3 because of this.

I wish you a Long Spain then.

I add this to my "To be tested" list.

I think you'll get into trouble with the International Rotghast Protection Society if you keep publishing those videos.

This could be the confirmation that if TB and RTwP have too different rulesets, PoE3 would likely be TB only. Which is Okay, I suppose, provided that their TB design would be as good as RTwP one. But we should be aware that action-per-turn approach (even with action points or several actions per turn) is likely to be the ultimate doom of RTwP. In my opinion, only dynamic turn approach is close enough to RTwP to avoid high maintenance costs between the 2 branches of the ruleset. Maintenance cost of the RTwP ruleset shall be low if we want to have a RTwP mode in PoE3. Anyway, it's good news for Obsidian. I hope they get sales because they deserve it. And the Worldbuilding and Game Design they did for this serie deserves to continue even if the great wheel of RTwP is sacrified.

Does that mean that any active weapon ability used with Sun & Moon apply +2 PL level on the effect for one head (depending whether it's day or night) ? Would Magran Axe + Sun & Moon give +4PL for any weapon ability effect with Sun head by day ?

Yep, that's one of my plans ^^ . Debuffing reflex is a nice perk too, especially with Seven Nights and The Thunder Rolled.

First round mostly matters in short encounters.

If you read the current TB Betas subforum, you'd see that there seems to be a bunch of problem about the way duration/action is currently managed. Many effects simply have too short durations at the moment.

Hmm, Sun & Moon does work with it, but i don't think Magran's Favor does. A good try would be SSS Keeper of the Flame flail. Wow, that's relevant. Could this weapon be even more optimal than I thought for a Skald ?

Attributes depends on which position you are building for in the anal meta.

Best subclasses (in addition to "Forbidden ones") : Stalker Steel Garrote (now we know the nature of the paralysis) Worst subclass : Shattered Pillar

I really like Unflinching by the way. Almost feels like a 3 for 1.

I got your opinion, but that's not what everyone think. People see a difference as mostundesired decribed it above.

Yup, that's the point. What you are describing works with Vanishing Strikes.

Well for everyday's life Boeroer's contribution to the forum is unparalled. But, to be honnest (Min)Maxquest has been invaluable to to dig the trickiest questions (attack speed, as he did for PoE1). He's basically the chosen of Wael. (Boeroer might be the chosen of Hylea because of his sheer creativity ) Thelee too has also made some valuable investigations.

Single Class Assassin for Vanishing Strike is indeed the correct answer I presume. https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/107624-would-you-consider-max-int-on-a-single-class-rogue/ I've not tested it with Salvation of time. Yes, It's only for Endgame, but there shall be a reason to go for Single CLass Ultimate abilities ^^

Debonaire's bonus defense when not afflicted should be nice to stack with Wizard's defense.

Nicknamed the Ass/Fist. "Resonant Touch" "The Pain Persists" "The Razor's Edge" "Crucible of Suffering" "Rooting Pain" "Bear's Fortitude" "Two Handed Style" into "Inner Death"

Instruments of pain has a new meaning too.

By the way, before patch, Beguiler was not working with Biting and Draining Whip. Was it fixed ? The patch said they fixed something about Beguiler, but it's not specified and it could be another bug.

But what about using the regular cast/recovery durations from the RTwP Mode as a baseline to define initiative between turn ? The whole game has already been balanced according to these durations... With a few minor tweaks, it could work.

I still think Dynamic Turn and RTwP are different, especially if marketing strategy is taken into account. Dynamic Turn can be sold as TB. It is basically a variant of TB. RTwP cannot. But sure Dynamic Turn is much closer to the current RTwP experience.
