I find the direct sequel part an unlikely assumption, as Pallegina is one of the companions who would have the least trouble making a cameo on a game with a different protagonist. The same story applies to Kana, BTW. Stupid question but how much time is a godlike life expectancy ? Same as their parent race ? It is interesting to determine if it is an immediate sequel.

"Scared Immolation" Pointed. Aj Ah Ah The Typo Demon laughs again. Coward Paladin with low Resolve and High Int (for range) practicing Immolation Hit&Run with Zealous Retreat aura.

I think Obsidian should note this point for PoE2. People want Rogue to use more dirty tricks like backstab, not just (a bit conditional) DPS. And people want more martial Paladins ^^

For Paladins, you can play them more or less as a Dragon Slashed chanter from level 13, using their Immolation ability. They will do less damages but better at tanking (especially against spell). Lay on Hand and Reviving Exhortation are the best single target heal of the game. The aura is good. Sworn ennemy, FoD and martial talents will make them decent attackers (especially for spike damages). You can't go wrong with all these abilities. Paladin is rather easy to play and build. Then you can add the builds stated above for extra spicing.

Keep in mind that if you didn't choose any invocation of your highest level (maybe because you think they are too bad and you chose one from a lower level instead) your phrase counter will be stuck at that lower level and will not go up. So, for example: if you could choose an invocation that requires 7 phrases but instead choose another invocation that only uses 6 phrases, your phrase counter will not go up to 7, even if your char level is high enough. It will be stuck at 6. It's stupid, but that's how it is... I was wondering about this aj ah ah. I like Animated Weapons. But in case one doesn't, I think it's good to take just as a passive to increase max number of stackable phrases. I use the same Invocations most of the time, so I think saving one Invocation for this purpose worth it.

Shield chant solved many health issues in my current party. Given that I had only casters with 10-12 Con, 12 end/lvl and x4 health and 1 ranger with 8 Con, I think it's a good indicator. (I had 2 chanters, 1 with Aefillath + 6x dragons, the other with 1 shield chant and 6x dragons.) The number of queued chants only matter if you have more than 1 chant. In my case, it leads to 1/7 buff chant and 6/7 damage chant. 7 is the max number of phrases.

My choice is Aefillath + 6x Dragon slashed. I prefer Dragon slashed, but if you take it as first chant, there is a risk that ennemies won't be already in range. I like the 30pt shield as initial chant for trash fights because it saves your health if you don't like resting a lot.

5 damages per tick every 3s means for 20s that CW DoT does (20/3+1)x5=37 bonus damages ? And it stacks with itself per hit for a total of 37 damages per hit ??? (without Int or Mig) That sounds too good ! Of course, it is not THAT good against high DR...

Wait... The "Chiper" ? Aj Ah Ah

You can pause almost any time, except a very few and short cut scenes. You can save almost any time when you're out of combat. Battle last for max 5-10mn. It's time consuming but flexible. I think it is in line with your needs. Also there's a bug in version 3.02 that affects save/load. Probably going to be fixed soon. I advise you to wait for 3.03.

Yes, but that's just an OP mod. No glory to build on this.

I was very proud of my SPIRITCAPSLOCK with infinite duration

Yeah, true classic like Buttercut and Wutherstrike ^^ Direballs are fun too.

Rodriguez was the Latino Raedric ah ah aj.

Isn't it the point of story mode ?

This game has been released for more than 1 year and no one has ever clearly figured how combusting wounds did work ^^ There's only one person in the world who could do this : the problem is that this guy is actually yourself.

I have 2 dragon slashers chanter in my party and they are resp. #1 and #2 killers. Given that other party member are wiz, druid and ranger (and priest), I think this is impressive. By the way, the Withdraw trick also works with Endgame shield Little Savior.

For pure AoE damages, drake's ambassador is better than any other build. You have to wait lvl 9, then Dragon Trashed will do the job. Just select any buffing chant on first chant slot, then fill your partition will Dragon Trashed. Fire lash chant is superior to Sure Handed, so it's a good pick at lvl 11. Paladin lvl 13+ will help too later on. Pallegina with Sworn ennemy, Wrath of the Five Suns and FoD is one of the best sniper of the game by the way. Then for AoE CC, sure druids are better. But with cipher and Aloth, you should be fine. Zealous Endurance aura and Outworn buckler for Pallegina will greatly help your survavibility. Ituumak has infinite health. With the pet DR talent, lay on hand and reviving Exhortation, you'll have a big pool of endurance to sacrify on each fight that could reduce the necessity to rest. Even if pet dies often, it will do the job, especially on trash fights. Honnestly, I think your party is perfectly balanced as it is.

I'm not saying priest are fun. I'm not saying priest are necessary. I partially agree with the prayer against stuff are not an excellent design. There are too few compromise between being totally immune to a given status and being vulnerable enough to be ****ed by a CC graze. I'm just saying you feel the difference when no priest is around. PotD is mostly about +15 to accuracy and defense. Priest buff can do way more.

You should get an achievement for this ^^ And you may have to use a lot of scrolls (defense, valor, protections against x)

Mmm Boeroer, in 3.03 it would be 75% graze to miss and 50% hit to graze. It would be hard not call it totally OP.

It should work only on reflex. Which version are you playing ? 3.02 ? 3.03 beta ?

I don't know. I supposed it could happen everywhere. I am a paranoid, you know. Wait, you mean I have slaughtered the whole abbey for no reason ? Actually, it is probably the hardest area of the game, save a few fights. EDIT: These stats indeed don't sound natural.

Further Testing : Vulnerable Attack does work with Fighter's charge. Probably work with Flagellant Path too but I'm too lazy to test

I made a hard save before entering every concerned area and treated each one as a mini-Iron man. It worked well, I didn't die once in Craghold, bog or Abbey. All worked fine, except the time I learned in a corridor that Freezing Rake was wall-bouncing spell. My wizard managed to kill half of the antagonists and two third of my party . My remaining chanter and druid had to finish the job themselves. But I planned to resolve the Abbey as peaceful as I could, and I had to change this because I was not sure about buff stacking each time you enter a new area too. So I changed my plans, and basically slaughtered everything the first time and entered each area. Quite annoying.
