Yes. Run Through with Assassinate and Backstab is pretty nice.

I wonder if a Paladin/Arcane Archer with Spearcaster is as good as I anticipate. With FoD you can circumvent the ACC loss of the Archer - and since you are putting lots of points into Arcana anyways... Plenty plenty plenty ACC I presume...

Blood Sacrifice will not interrupt your focus generation. Neither will Alacrity. Only damage that passes an attack resolution counts.

Keep it like that. I'm the same (with a party) and it's great. Consumables are just tedious. Open the bag, click on that potion/scroll/whatever, wait for that animation... meh. Sure, during a solo run it's inevitable and ok since I only have to manage one guy. But with a party? Please... I had to make that dedicated PoE-scroll-rogue build "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" in order to force me to use scrolls. I don't hesitate to use per-rest abilities and Empower though. And with a Nalpasca I will use drugs. So if it's part of the char/class concept it's fine. If not? Pfff...

Essence Interrupter Frostseeker Kalakoth's Minor Blights Thundercrack are the ones I remember. Besides that: also all Flames of Devotion attacks will not suffer. Using Paladin/Arcane Archer is a good way to prevent the ACC malus with any weapon once your Bond is gone.

If you have somebody in the party who can prevent death (Priest, Shieldbearer) it's definitely a good thing.

Paladin/Arcane Archer is good as well. FoD shots don't get the ACC malus and Watershaper's Focus with Ring of Focused Flames, Blast, Driving Flight and FoD gives you 3 AoE jumps with +20 ACC which will most likely trigger Ondra's Wave. And once Zeal is null you can continue firing Imbue: Fireball which will also trigger thrice. Deactivate Blast for that. ACC with this one is even better. Also heal your Animal Companion with Lay on Hands and so on. Paladin/Assassin with Ring of Focused Flame and Dragon's Dowry or Chromoprismatic Staff most likely crits and one-shots many enemies from stealth/invisibility with his +45 ACC bonus.

Grocery Street gained it's rightful place right beside Rodriguez' Hold, Buttercut, Wuthering Strikes and Direballs. Fair points. I would really really like to see priest-specific trinkets that do something with their spell portfolio. Doesn't need to be like Grimoires, but maybe give a bonus cast for PL X or give one additional spell to use or 1 per-encounter-ability that's in line with the trinket's origin or a trinket that alters the mechanics of priest spells you already have or whatever. Druids have the same problem.

Did you know that you can have 4 "pets" with aura effects active at a time? 1. your pet 2. Edér's pet (Berath's Blessing) 3. Conjurer's Familiar (why is it random???) 4. SSS item that summons a pet with aura at the start of combat This is not bad at all. Especially now that you can "craft" pets.

It is. Especially on PotD - because there are more enemies.

Yes, I agree.

Hm? It's 45 base which scales with Power Level which then scales with INT bonus. That's not what I'd call "meager". I mean ok: if you wanted to keep the low conversion number of 15% then a longer duration would be great.

It did display - but since the Spiritshift model is a lot taller than the kith model it didn't fit: the head was cut off and other stuff. Same with Form of the Fearsome Brute (Ogre shapeshift). And since the inventory is of little use during combat anyway they decided to go the easy route and just not show the shifted model there. Which was the best decision (looking at the cost-benefit ratio) in my opinion.

Speaking of exaggeration...

Can't you make a char with Ydwin's "vessel-race" yellow skin and bald head and equip her with the Breastplate? Then export the build? Shouldn't be that hard and when you zoom out you can't tell the difference.

I vote "awesome"! Give us the Gear Shredder!

Export and (share and) hire is a very cool feature. Also for players who liked the Helwax Mold in PoE1. Like me. Isn't it the case that everything that procs off of items does stack?

Fair enough. Was and is still my biggest gripe with Deadfire: why putting so many resources into reinventing the wheel when they could just have left the mechanics as they were and focus more on content? But as is they reworked all mechanics, tried to streamline everything and listened to the feedback they got on PoE. This all took a lot of time and effort and thus (naturally) there wasn't as much time and money for content related stuff. And while I like the main game although it's not my fsvorite, the DLCs are top notch in my opinion. Here you can see what happens when the foundation is done and the devs can just come up with stuff and play with it.

Berserker self damage does not stop Dance of Death, so I presume it doesn't stop Psion's Focus gain either.

Oh hey - just like your reasoning! :D

If he spams Mule Kicks (interrupts on graze) - why not take a cipher with Soul Whip?

Critcs are badass? Well even if crits would be supercrankredonkulous Merciless Gaze's conversion chance would still be too low compared to stuff like Disciplined Strikes and Dirty Fighting.

Wrong forum my friend. You posted in the beta patch forum of Pillars of Eternity 1.

Oh, finally somebody from Torchlight in the PoE universe.

The good thing is you even generate focus when executing and recovering from lenghty abilites (so, mostly spells/cipher powers). So I guess the rate of generation is ok. But this "stop when getting hit" is a bad thing in my opinion and reduces the subclass as a whole so much. Put it away!
