Yes, but as I said: I was only getting the raw dmg as if I had only 10 focus or so - no matter how much I really had. Maybe I have to check again.

By the way: Does Sun & Moon have an issue wioth Soul Annihilation nowadays? I tried it yesterday with a Soulblade/Bleak Walker and it would only apply 29ish raw damage with the first attack roll and then regain some focus with the second - no matter how much focus I had collected...?

I think I will preorder it. Although SciFi and First Person are not my favorite things. But I liked FTL and Skyrim - so... hell why not?

I would say even in PvP it's totally pointless for a party-based RPG. For solo it's a bit easier - but still not easy to do. With a party setup any general ranking of classes is completely and utterly pointless in Deadfire. Just one example that proves the point: Howler is 30. But a Berserker/Beckoner is the fastest way to toally break the game and solves every encounter from mid to lat(ish) game with one single combo. Stack up on Fortitude and Freeze AR (eventually grab Effigy's Husk and enchent it with Eyes of Blackstone), Frenzy, Summon Skeletons and use Chilling Grave from Grave Calling to annihilate all skeletons (6+6 from Ancient Brittle Bones which get destroyed on the spot by the 6 Chillfogs and prodice another 6) and have 12 parallel Chillfogs which have all bonuses from weapon enchantments. And if you switch to Modwyr right after using Grave Calling all Chillfogs turn into foe only... Or just keep summoning skeletons into the fog - the fog also counts as Grave Calling attacks so it will spawn more fogs... This admittedly cheesy build should not be an example of how every Howler should look like - it just shows that there are so many different apporaches and builds with one class that you just can't judge and rank them just so. Another example: Fighter (47.) with Fire in the Hole (Chain Shot) and a bashing shield (or any melee weapon in the offhand really) using Clean Sweep or Clear the Path: destroys most mobs in an instant. "What?" you say "Clear Out and upgrades are melee only!" Ekera, but the bashing shield (or melee offhand weapon) makes it so that Clear Out thinks you are a melee guy and still uses the mortar to deliver Clear Out + mortar AoE I say. "Cheesy" you say. Per complanca - it still proves the point. There are too many roles, too many builds (with too many items which have special enchantments) in order to make an even slightly useful ranking. What you could do (and what might be helpful) is to rank builds (not classes per se) for special roles (e.g. "Tank that can withstand friendly fire" or "Healer who can also do CC" or whatever).

Like in Deadfire it was paralyzing the target only and applying stuck (now immobilized) to the AoE. So, not really paralyzing AoE - but I agree that it was too strong. Also because hard CC in PoE was too strong in general because of the graze mechanic. It allowed you to hard-cc enemies with hefty defense penalties even if your ACC (compared to defenses) was crappy.

I think I was one of those who reported it. I think that never got fixed, but I may be wrong. I didn't touch PoE for about a year or so.

Enfeebled + Soul Ignition and later Disintegration should also be nasty I guess? By the Way Soul Ignition works with Ring of Focused Flames. If you can manage to crit AND enfeeble the target you should get pretty nice numbers...

I also think only a crit with the Voulge triggers the stacked charges - but I didn't test it. Too bad you can't bind the Vould to a single class Monk. Stacking Static Charge AND Resonant Touches would be pretty cool I guess.

Hehe. For people who don't want to buy costly or bulky hardware but still want to be able to play (technically, visually) high-end games I think it's a nice option. You will also not fill your harddrives with lots of installed game instances and savegames etc. All in all I think it's maybe more attractive or casual or "convenience" gamers that don't care for mods etc. but just want to switch the thing on and play all sorts of new games. Like people who like to use Netflix etc. and are not that much interested in special versions like Director's Cut, commentaries, special sound options and so on but just want to switch on the TV, see that one movie/series and that's it.

You mean like nobody said that popularity equals IQ? You should stop the guessing, you are pretty terrible at it.

Sure, if you have another teammember that can use a Morning Star to lower Fortitude in an AoE (Clear Out/Clear the Path/Clean Sweep, Heart of Fury, Whispers of the Wind, Whirling Strikes) then that's also nice. The Voulge is also a nice weapon for Devoted because with Pollaxes you can then cover three different damage types (slash/crush/shock) which is great. The only real downside is that it can't get upgraded to legendary or even mythic quality. Speaking of Pollaxes... does the AoE of Wahai Poraga trigger Static Charges to explode with crits? That may be a way to get them to explode faster. Does it make any difference...? Or Wispers of the Endless Paths to generate more crits? But Black Jacket in that case? Don't know...

Wait... popularity equals wealth and successfulness through facts of life? Why was Jesus ever popular?

I guess he's using it. If you ever go to Ashen Maw: beware the Grog!

Yes, on the mobile version the background is white. So every space is a whitespace. :tongue-in-cheek:

Yes. One of the best debuffing invocations since it stacks with all debuffs that only target one or two or three single defenses - or lower attributes (which also lowers defense). Howler is a great debuffer while also doing good damage. Very useful party member. Same as Fighter/Chanter. With Skald/Devoted and a Morning Star, combined with The Waves, Ben Fidel and the Weakening Chant + Clear Out you can lower Fortitude by 55(!) amongst other defenses in a cone while generating lots of crits for your phrases with one single attack (cause Clear Out targets Fortitude). If you want you can switch then and use Karabörü on such a debuffer crowd and choose Clear Out again: you can do tremendous AoE dmg because several crits will lead to the AoE of Karabörü triggering. In this case I would use Black Jacket though.

Yes, Berserker/Beckoner is def. gamebreakingly good with Grave Calling, but it's too cheesy to be long lasting fun. Another great thing with Brute, especially with Devoted, is Brute Force if combined with a Morning Star (I know, "again he says that" ) and Spirit Frenzy. Clear Out and Knockdown/Mule Kick target Fortitude anyway, but lowering the enemies' Fortitude by 35 (Body Blows + Staggered) and then being able to target that defense with all attack rolls is very nice. And the Fort. debuff also helps your party a lot. Also The Willbreaker is one of the best weapons for a Devoted in my opinion. If you also pick a Barbaric Shout or so you can even debuff the Will defense of enemies a lot while hitting them (-10 from Shaken and The Willbreaker lowers per hit). Also the enchantments like "The Mind Makes Real" work perfectly with Barb shouts. One can also think about picking Tactical Barrage instead of Disciplined Strikes. It's true that the crit conversions of Berserker and Disciplined Strikes stack (multiplicative only though) but longer durations, bigger AoE and +1 Power Level (that's +5% multiplicative dmg with abilities) is not bad at all. Depends on how much other crit conversions you have. Every additional one has less and less impact du to the multiplicative nature - so at some point it can be better to go for Tactical Barrage than for Disciplined Strikes.

Interesting. I had the Perception immunity once (for a Berserker/Beckoner with Grave Calling/Chilling Grave to prevent getting blinded all the time) and it worked like one would expect (= complete immunity).

Well, you were partially right. If you use it on corpses it will indeed heal your party members. Iirc you can just place it on the ground and if there are corpses in the AoE they will get highlighted a bit.

Maybe guess again. So far forum logic only said that "clone" doesn't mean using the same color palette. Interesting that you don't see your contributions as part of forum logic although you are an active part of the forums.

No, not really. LOL

Well - we surely can't call you a lazybones with the whitespaces...

It's called "Colorning", didn't you get the memo?

I don't know if or why you have warning points (I can't see them - it's only you who can see your warning points, they are hidden from other users) and I don't really care. But thank you for letting me know. The point was that if everybody who disproves you is a troll how come they don't have any warning points or are even banned? Trolling is not tolerated in these forums and gets moderated. This leads to the conclusion that those whom you name "trolls" are in fact... elves?

Afaik the only other thing that procs off of Carnage is Spirit Frenzy's Staggering iirc(?).
