So, are Beguiler Bonus damages and focus regen working as intended against afflicted targets ? (+20% damages by default, +30% damages with biting Whip, +20% damages and +100% focus gain with draining whip) Or is there still some kind of glitch ?

5 bear rangers. Possibly all multiclassed with bear druid. 5 helwalkers, flagellant cult. Quite challenging. 5 corpse eaters. Cannibal corpse.

Imbue Web + Form of the Delemgan for the win

On the other hand, DW Devoted can pick a non-crush weapon type with single damage, and pick monastic training so they have a backup type of damages. A stalker/devoted with Scordeo's Edge and Tarn's Respite can achieve a stupidly high level of accuracy. Devoted bonus to crit would like it. I'm not sure what to do with that much crits. You can also pick Slayer's Claw, not use it for fighting but for receiving Champion's Boon at the start of the fight, so you'll be Energized and able to interrupt on crit. But that's theorycrafting.

I was thinking about a similar build, mainly because of Clear Out + Sun & Moon + Flail Modal (debuff reflex) into The Thunder Rolled (that attacks reflex). The other option is Black Jacket (because I'm fond of the class concept). Sun & Moon is a superior weapon for auto-attacking with a Skald (except for Crush resistant foes, but Crush is a good damage type), so I'm looking for a total of 3-4 weapons (1-handed mostly) with interesting instant switch so that Black Jacket worths it. 1) He would be able to switch to Sasha's instantly for Empowered Invocation or party passive buff, but I'm not sure refilling half of discipline pool isn't a better way to spend the Empower use. 2) I'm not sure whether Magistrate's Cudgel marking works for other weapons once triggered (+10 Acc for a Skald sounds even better than Devoted's extra PR) plus Mace modal is good to have somewhere in a party (especially good combined with Clear Out). 3-4) Mmm, other ideas ? Rapier for extra accuracy against high Deflection foes ? Or maybe I could add 2-handed weapons too, so I could take Willbreaker and Wahai Poraga too. That would be a good diversity of debuff and attack modes.

What are the HP and duration of beckomer summons by the way ? I thought 50% Hp and 2/3 duration but I'm suddenly doubting.

Nothing is immoral but Blunderbuss streefighter.

Bellowers have reduced chant AoE and a bonus to invocation. I can't see any synergy with Dragon Trashed chant. A single class Skald can start battle with 2 upgraded eld Nary, 4 with sasha's and an empowed point. ~50 hits of jumping interrupting tornadoes sound pretty offensive for me.

Ben Fidel upgrade -10 all defenses should stack with Mig, Con & Fortitude debuff for a -55 Fort

At least for PoE2 we don'start from scratch...

More like this, then :

Does sun&moon applies affliction twice ? That might be nice for a confounding blind skald build...

Is there any way to generate corpses ? I assume Summons don't leave corpses.

I thought PR modals didn't stack. I thought overpen was multiplicative.

tsss tsss Wizards

It would be interesting to check how weapon modal malus stack with various other stuff in general.

Wahai Poraga should provide similar results.

It works with each class, but I don't think it has specific synergies with Rogue (except its glasscannonish nature).

I don't think the PL bonus (+3 PL if you don't want to waste phrases) worth it compared to the 12s vs 18s that a troubadour provides for Killer Froze. If you want to play a versatile chanter, go troubadour (Skalds have a few option too, but only for melee). ​Bellower and condemned to such niche in my opinion.

Many characters would have trouble to deal relevant damages to the endgames bosses. Reaping knives solve any PR problems of one character while making weapon damages by cipher unecessary. It seems that there are tons of builds to deal with packs of mobs, but significantly less to deal with these endgames megabosses.

Mmm, do they stack ? If they do, it's indeed good for barbaric retaliation. If they don't, it's not good for this build but it's very good in general. It makes half-sword basically free for frenzied barbarian (except bersekers who don't care).

Do reaping knives worth it for single class cipher ? It sounds like a proxy martial multiclass.

When you're not attacked (much) and underpenetrating it's not bad. It's a modal. It is meant to be an option situationally interesting, which it is. Plus it is nice for Undying Titan build (see below) or Tier IX Barbarian Retaliation. https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/103525-single-class-fighter-build-the-undying-titan/

Mmm the same thing as for SC chanter : not being a troubadour. Do yourself a favor and console-change his subclass.
