I already used the attachment option (found it recentlt), but would it display the photo in the post or just make in downloadable ? -
Geography of Eora
Elric Galad replied to noswej's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
An official map of Eora would be a very good teaser for PoE2 -
That's why I favor Dex on classes who already gets big %damages bonus, like Rogues and Ciphers and, to a lesser extand, fighters. And also a bit on priest, because is the only stats apart INT that matters for Buffbots is DEX.

Dexterity is better for 2 handed swords than for daggers. At least dexterity does not suffer from diminushing returns WHEN SUMMED WITH ANY OTHER DAMAGE BOOST (only intresic diminushing return). Dexterity has still the advantages to work with about any type of actions, except movement. But it does not work well with limited ressources.

The Custom Portraits Thread

OK, that might be the most stupid question ever, but I never managed to put an image on a Post on this forum. When I click on image, the site ask me an URL. Does that mean only online image can be added ? I have a nice portrait on my disk, but I can't remember where I found it... -
Ancient High Priest : check Fighting 2 dragons at a time : check Gods have bodies. These bodies can die. God can die. They are apparently weak to divine hammers... I really found that lore and narration improved greatly in WM. That moment speaking to Ondra was epic. I'm eager to know what Berath and Rymrgand would say when facing their death...

I always plan my characters around endgame, and around endgame items. Simply because I like the feeling of continuous empowerement. Fortunately, that doesn't mean they are total jerks before this. In addition, most of the hardest battles are endgame ones, except for Caed Nua and Raedric (if you fight him act I), so for me it is usually better to consider what I could beat endgame. So balanced start and powergaming ending is my way to play.

Given that priest is the closest thing to omnipotent class, I think this is not so bad for him. He also got greatly improved priest abilities Thaos also casts mass dominate and mass confusion. Dominate is usually Cipher only, and confuse is Cipher and Wizz only. Given that he is also able to project his soul and possess anybody as long as he wants, he is actually more a priest/cipher Multiclass. Lore-wise, maybe slaying Thaos unleashed a great multiclassing wave upon Eora, causing the multiclass potential of each soul to be unlocked. Maybe the gods themselves locked the multiclass potential of mortals to prevent them to become as powerful as the gods. Because, as far as remember from BGII time, Multiclass was the closest thing to divine powers... Now THAT would be a great story for PoE2. Mmmm... Somehow in this post, I slipped into crazyness...

Barbarians with high accuracy, interrupt and the right weapon set should be a decent recursive crowd controler, no ?

There are builds that favors RES (golden dragon) because the point of the build is to max Defl and Acc debuff. Read it. For other cases CON is indead better.

How much PoE1 in the sequel?
Elric Galad replied to evilcat's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Thought about it a bit more, this time with my brain :D There are too many choices in a 60-100 hours rpg where as in Tyranny you make IIRC 9 or so high level choices before heading into the game. Whether if any of the PoE companions are alive or dead choices alone equal to 11. And in "Conquest-style" there should also be some context for every choice... think about the famous PoE loredump all over again, a new playa would need dat lore to make those choices. Well, waaaaaAAAaaaaay too much work/imposibru. You don't have to make all choices relevant. There are a limited number of choices that has an impact about ending slides. But I agree it can be difficult to implement. -
Well, I agree. Except "not dual wielding OR using an ability"

I thought about this initially, but I'm a control freak and don't like this uncontrolable stuff. I will probably try it anyway. My current plan is this finger that gives +3 CON and mind lance. Disciplined Barrage + Wave + Mind lance + Charge sounds like a real line attack. I trust my full attack knockdowns, charge and Abydon's Stun (secondary set) to carry trash fights.
