Usually it's only spells that originate from Druid: Returning/Relentless Storm, Avenging Storm, Maelstrom... maybe one of the wind spells and Blizzard as well. Chanter's original invocations all don't have the Storm keyword. Deltro's Cage gives you +2 to general shock PL. The Voulge +3 to storm "only". But of course those stack to +5 if your storm spells do shock dmg. For example this makes your storm spells last 25% longer (base duration which gets multiplied by INT) and amps up the dmg by 25% base.

Vanishing Strike - in my opinion - is best with a Streitfighter with dual mortars. You attack with Gambit (nearly always enough crits for complete refund) and get blooded and flanked, then jump into the center of mobs and use Vanishing Strikes. You will get +100% crit dmg and bonus Sneak Attack dmg and -50% recovery/reload which lets you dish out more attacks during invisibility. You want to be in the midst in order to trigger Backstab for as many enemies around you as possible. The +25 ACC of Assassin is nice against tougher enemies, but Streetfighter is better against multiple ones. Mainly just because you can put out more attacks while invisible. Don't forget to use the Stalking Cloak when going single class Rogue (who's using Vanishing Strikes).

One reason could be: If you get hit by Arcane Dampener you are screwed. Also: no healing. For a party I think Trickster/Soulblade is awesome though.

Cipher's Hammering Thoughts passive: +1 Cipher's Driving Echoes: +8 for an ally Sharpshooter's passive: +1 Fury's passive: +1 for elemental spells Figurines have charges now. So you might not want to rely on them. Good source for flanked are all Perception afflictions and Phantom Foes.

Fun fact: for many Christians Easter is next week. That's awesome since I can now fly to Sicily for our Easter vacation from a non-crowded airport.

You are right. Last time I tried to reclaim a mind controlled ally via charm or dominate it worked. Couldn't control him but at least he was friendly again. If that doesn't work now something changed.

Skaen is not entirely evil either. I mean if you judge his aspects (not so much his depiction in cutscenes). E.g one aspect of him involves rebellion against oppression and slavery.

Not yet. I hope the do with the next patch.

Don't think so. Since it's an item Power level scaling doesn't work. I also had my illusions summon essential phantoms one time.

Very well. You'll get an Accuracy bonus for your skill points. I can't remember the exact numbers. But it's substantial. Stacks with Spearcaster's bonus from Arcana.

Careful lest Volo calls you a literal Nazi. :> Since he even seems to call Mother Theresa a nazi that doesn't seem to mean much, does it? I'm sure I'm already a SJW Nazi because I think questioning taxes in general and assuming every politician to be evil is extremely silly.

Well you weren't forced to join the army. Who said it was for free? I got paid. And you could choose what you wanted to do. Plenty of options and you could apply for lots of stuff as I said. And by whose definition is it slavery. Yours? That's not really reliable source material. Because dubious reputation and so on... The PERIOD doesn't seem to work - you are still talking about it. Might as well stop shouting PERIOD. Unless it's a periodic period of course...

I have no idea about Romania's military history. I'm German and only live here temporarily because of work.

Yes. It's pretty hilarious. Used it on my Geomancer solo run some time ago. Isn't it 6 illusions and thus 6 animal companions?

Actually the people who did "forced" military service would not get send into war unless absolutely necessary (never happened so far). It was just a training and afterwards you could go straight to reserve if you wished to. You could also opt for becoming a "professional" soldier but that was totally up to you. As I said the main idea was to have a cross section of the whole society in the military and not only people who feel drawn to military service. This makes it a lot harder for the whole army to drift to the far left or far right and prevents extremism of all sorts. That sounds like a very naive statement.

You were not forced to do military service. You could do something else. Only important thing is that you spend one year working for your country or your fellow citizens. If you were sick or not fit to serve in the military you didn't have to do anything. Same if you were the third son (and the other two already served). What about community service? Being forces to work or face jail time? Slavery? What about compulsory education? We have it in Germany and many other european countries. Is that slavery? I mean you force the kids to go to school. What about being forced to pay taxes? Slavery? Or is that all already SJW Nazism?

In a new playthrough: it seems so. But that doesn't mean that it will not occur again.

@armor: if the burn AR is higher than CW's PEN you will underpenetrate with the ticks.

That's because I was testing Rekvu's Fractured Casque on a Warlock some time ago and didn't want to nuke myself with Necrotic Lances all the time.

Do you mean me? I draw them as vector graphics. You can scale them to any size without quality loss. I send them to Phenomenum as high res PNGs then since that's easier for him to work with than with vectors graphics. I don't know how Phenomenum transforms them to 42x42 pixels. I can always deliver the source SVG files if needed. I think the details of stuff like Tumbling and Dirty Fighting look ok on the screenshot by the way. Somebody gave the Dirty FIghter pants. I prefer the naked or spandex look. Not because I'm a nudist but because the cleaner lines scale better to smaller pixel sizes. Makes it more clear. EDIT: just installed he mod and generally speaking: the stuff looks great. No comparison to the bland icons that we had before. Some tweaking is needed but my first ingame impression is super positive.

Tomorrow I will be flying to Sicily with my family (Easter vacation). So you won't see new icons from me for a whole week - I promise.

I also saw the ingame preview now - and at least on the screenshot the icons look pretty awesome compared to the original stuff. I didn't think they would scale down so well.

Next iteration (now with Monk's passives at the bottom):

Exact centerinf is difficult if the picture has an even number of width and/or height (42x42). Doesn't matter too much to me if it's perfectly centered. Nobody will notice and mist icons are not symmetrical anyways.

No, that was thelee. I had problems with afflictions not getting removed by fitting inspirations. But when I start a fresh playthrough I can't reproduce it either.
