I didn't even vote for it myself, for about the same reasons

Hey I have an idea ! The Main Character could be the reincarnation of the watcher and start again level 1 ! (And maybe getting experience faster when he remembers some stuff, a bit like the Nameless One.)

Well, the revelations about the ***s sound like good material for a sequel. However, the Watcher doesn't have to be the Main Character.

OK, I've created a Poll in the General Discussion forum. We'll see what happen. Eventually, if it fails, it might be suitable for a Mod. But Modding will be better when Obsidian will declare there will be no more Patch.

So, Patch 3.02 is here and we should not expect much evolution to current classes. That is not a bad news, because according to this topic, people are pretty satisfied with current status : https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/85366-class-balance/ Obsidian did a really nice job. However, according to the same topic, 2 little complaints are risen : - Casters (especially wizard and priest) seem to be a bit more powerful than the rest. Let's say that the limited ressource they have and consumables everybody can use tend to reduce the gap. - Rogue and Barbarian are usually said to be a bit UP. Not that much by the way. The reason behind these complaints about these 2 classes are usually : - Barbarians tend to be a bit one trick poney - Rogues have a short head for single target DPS, but no big gap that will justify their lack of other abilities. - Their high level abilities are not so great. They didn't get uber skill from WM I like Twin Arrows, Immolation, etc... Also, Obsidian did admit some abilities still need rework, such as Riposte on the link below (thanks Infinitron): https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/85045-riposte-rogue-viable-potd/page-2 I'm going to propose here some changes. I've tried to make them reflect not only my own opinion, but also other people views. (but yeah, that's subjective). These modifications take into account that Obsidian is currently very unlikey to make big changes to the classes. So I'm not invoking major rework. (at least I don’t think they are “major”.) I also tried to avoid changes on abilities which “could work”, even if not perfect. When answering the poll, keep in mind that it’s unlikely that Obsidian would rework all the named abilities. So don’t hesitate to make some priorities ! For example, I've limited my own anwsers to 5 wishes per class. OK, 5 per class might be too much, but that's my ideas so it's quite hard to disagree with them In this thread, you can find a short description of the proposed changes, but you can find deeper explanations about these changes in: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/85541-the-rogue-and-barbarian-polishing-thread/ (and you can also find reasons why I didn’t touch to other abilities). This thread was positive for me because I got mostly positive review . Don't hesitate if you have any questions or remarks. Thank you for answers and review !

And thank you so much for releasing it the year BEFORE my marriage and not the year AFTER !!

By the way, I think Deathbows do work on spells. Sounds like a build, I guess.

Yes, it stacks.

Wound Binding for everyone !

Druids have some party buffs and heals instead, including Moonwell which is one the best spells of the whole game. Nature's Bounty isn't too bad either. But yeah, oof course, that's not so good for solo play.

She's immuned to half of the game's status including all that nasty mind-control. I doubt you could ever find an armor with an enchantement on par with this. But it's right her stats are weird. Does someone know which stats were buffed for 3.02 ? (as it was listed she gets buffed.) Too bad I sacrified her to Skaen and I can't check now

Skaen Priest for me. So you can use Skaen Talent and Ruffian focus with a ranged weapon. Ok, I didnt answer your question. I'll say Druid. Having an extra Spiritshift is priceless. Moreover, if you want a good auto-attack with a Wizard, you can use summoned weapons.

I think they have reached a too high level to just continue with these characters. Starting with characters who already have immolation, Gaze of Adragan or crazy number of Rez would be weird. In BG2, you started level 7-8 (up to 10 with tales of the sword coast depending on your profession?) I don't see which nice story could fit such a level ? Fighting armies and dragons, or even dragon armies ? Sounds more weird than epic. It worked on Throne of Bhaal because it was just a short expension, but I can't imagine this for a whole game. I always loved this part where you are a peasant armed with a rusty dagger frightened because of too many goblins However, PoE2 endgame could be a little bit higher, something like level 20.

Does someone have a complete list of weapon with Higher interrupt than normal ? I know about : - Mosquito (0.75s instead of 0.35) - Vile Loner (1s instead of 0.5) - Strike Hard (1s instead of 0.5, is it right Boeroer ?) - Godansthunyr (0.75s instead of 0.5, is it right Boeroer ?) Of course, there's also all Moningstars and Abydon's hammer, but that is their weapon type inherent property.

Another weapon set possibility is Mosquito and Daenysis rapiers. Their interrupt values are slightly lower than Vile Loner and Clad, but they are also faster so it is pretty much the same. (Both should be lashed, refined, enchanted of course). Mosquito brings endurance drain to the table (you can also do this with Clad) and Daenysis brings speed enchant that is very good with your build. You could even grab vulnerable attack or bigger armor. I'm not claiming it's better, just that it should work too. Noble weapon using barbarian open interesting background possibilities.

In my opinion you can also grab Cold Wild Strike to fit theme. Electrical damages talent is mandatory. Take also the cold talent. It's not only damages:+5 DR against cold is incredibly useful against spirits. So you take electrical and cold talents and you'll have a kind "Weather Druid". Be sure to take Winter Wind, Blizzard, Returning Storm and Hail Storm for spell mastery. Hail storm is crush damage with ice lash. I think cold talent will only increase the lash damage, so it will be only around +5% damages.

Sure relentless storm isn't straight forward. You cast it without aiming and it wins the battle for you But you're right. Especially at high level. I think they wanted druid to feel really different from wizards.

Usually bonus from items stack with chanter's chant... since 2.0. Boreal dwarf got a bonus against primordial... at least this is wgat is written ib the tooltip.

Primordials and Wilders shouldn't be underestimated. It includes stuff like Ogres, Adragans, Vithracks, WM paralyzing amphibians and those annoying mushrooms. There's not that much challenge with most Kiths except perhaps some bounties and a few individuals Priest of Woedica or bog-loving wiz. For me +15 against Kiths worth as much as +15 against 2 categories. Not more. Your suggestion about Mountain dwarves is good. I have no preference between your idea and mine

+15 accuracy against beadt AURA ?? That a gamechanger as Dragons are beast !

The funny thing is that I just discovered that Feign Death ACTUALLY REALLY WORK like this. The 6s invisibility isn't currently cancelled by anything so you can chain backstab for... well... 6s. Given that the prone part is 10s, it is still quite bad, but the change to make it decent seems a bit slimer. Don't blame me, blame the tooltip.

Yes, thank you so much for releasing this game !

You can still go to melee with a cipher, and retaliate will still do a lot of damage thanks to Soul Whip ? (Or not ?) I just doubt Sura Supper plate worths it now...

So, anyone checked which stun is applied ? 3 enchant point for it is not awesome, overbearing provides a better effect for 2 enchant point...

If only the Druid's Call of the Primordials could summon an adragan... probably my favorite PoE creature.
