Abilities' base dmg gets influenced by Power Level. Maybe that has something to do with it?

Eh...?

No, I don't use hotkeys. Maybe that's why I never forget that I have certain abilities. Apparently the people who put this into the game never played without hotkeys. Else they would have noticed what a pain in the back this is now.

Sorry and no offense - but I don't understand a bit. Maybe some interpunction would help?

Yes you do.

Yes, the crit rate on PotD usually is much lower because of higher defenses. But also the AR of enemies is higher on PotD. So basically low PEN builds get screwed twofold. Because of that I wouldn't rely on crits alone to penetrate - since it severely reduces your damage output.

If you can wait a bit then single class Barbarian with dual hand mortars is one of the best gun options. Heart of Fury + dual mortars turns most enemy groups into red mist. But of course: takes a while to get there. But if you take Frenzy + Bloodlust you can do nice dps even before that.

Funny. I find this feature very annoying because it totally messes up my buffing routine. Before that I could simply hold shift and click and chain-command all stuff in a few secs. So instead of holding shift and do click + click + click now I have to do shift+click -> recently used stuff pops up -> close it -> shift + click -> popup, close it -> shift + click. I hate it.

Hahaha - your sarcasm detector is broken.

So if you crit, then you will do decent damage even if your weapon's normal penetration is lower than the target's armor? If you crit your overall PEN will be multiplied by 1.5 which usually is enough to at least penetrate properly. So if enemies' AR is 13 and you only have 10 PEN (leading to a horrible dmg reduction) but crit, your PEN will be 15. Enough to easily penetrate the 13 AR.

Erm... I guess he meant an PG walkthrough for Seeker, Slayer, Survivor?

What's Soul Tornado? Edit: ah, I got it: Spirit Tornado. Yes, that one as well. I mean it does freeze dmg exclusively - nobody knows why, but it does.

Are you sure that Soul Ignition missed the fire keyword? Because it works with the Ring of Focused Flames. What about Dragon Thrashed?

I meant generally for Chanter. Since empowering summons doesn't do much.

Sasha's Singing Scimitar + Empowered Eld Nary all day makes enemies weep.

That got fixed some patches ago.

It's def. harder than BoW. I rushed through BoW with a lvl 15 party and stomped all bosses. In SSS I'm level 20 with the same party and in some fights I really have to pull myself together to not screw up. Well done!

And introduced AoE procs per mortar, Blast and Citzal's Lance as well as WotEP and Wahaī Pōraga...

Yes, but now it works for all ranged weapon (including guns) and it has no penalty. Bit of course PoE's version was more powerful. I meant melee ranger in particular though.

Actually I find Ranger single class quite good. Whirling Strikes is not bad (try Amra with Bleeding Cuts). Barb also. Especially with dual mortars single class Barbarian is a beast due to Heart of Fury. Counterintuitive, I know because it's ranged. But SC Barb Serafen with his dual mortars just annihilates mobs.

Did you check during battle (combat log + shift) or did you look at the char sheet or weapon-tooltip? It used to scale PEN as well as DMG and I only could see that in the combat log's dmg calculation. Now the PEN scaling got removed and only the DMG scaling should remain. Should...

May be that you removed a certain buff from Belranga with Veilpiercer. This "buff" might be crucial for her - and once removed this bug with infinite dmg can happen. My guess is that you removed a special effect (that makes her so unique) which is not supposed to be removed - and that OBS simply forgot about Veilpiercer (or suppression in general). Just a wild guess though. But I remember the good old PoE1 days where you could remove a dragon's immunities with Arcane Dampener - that was also not intended and got fixed pretty soon.

You will get it later after doing a few fights (to prove you are "worthy").

Never experienced that. But on the other hand - I never double-click an item - so...

I manage to get 300+ on a Holy Slayer (Assassin/Bleak Walker with Dragon's Dowry) from stealth. Maybe I could exceed that with a Scout (Assassin/Sharpshooter) using Takedown Combo and Devastating Blow)? But 450 on a single non-spell attack roll? Phew...
