I hope it's simply a bug where they typed 40 per tick instead of 4 or something like that. Ok sure: using self immolation to damage bystanders is a really stupid idea in real life, but this is still a fantasy game with fancy soul stuff and so on...

If an ability is keyworded with fire or does burn damage as base damage then it gets +1 PEN. Examples: Fireball does burn damage and is keyworded with fire and gets +1 PEN from Scion oF. Flames of Devotion is keyworded with fire gets +1 PEN as well although the base damage is not burn (but the lash). A Bleak Walker's FoD is keyworded with fire and decay and thus gets +1 PEN from Scion of Flame and also +1 PEN from Spirit of Decay. Firebrand does burn damage as base damage and gets +1 PEN from Scion of Flame. Wildstrike Burn is not keyworded with fire and does not do burn base damage but only adds a burning lash. It gets nothing from Scion of Flame.

The Streetfighter speedup and dual wieldng + two weapon style make reloading blunderbusses a breeze though. So the initial idea is good. I just don't know how Shot on the Run behaves with guns. Maybe it has some value - I'd test it with the console if I were you.

Added!

Yes - several combatants (especially beasts like tigers and so on) don't have engagement in melee - including characters in the party.

If you pick the weakening chant and combine it with Persistent Distraction you can permanently unlock Deathblows (as a melee char). Also Streetfighter's Heating Up (getting flanked = 50% recovery time) reduces invocations' recovery. Rogues might crit quite well, and with a Skald you can cast Killers Froze Stiff pretty often - which leads to more crits. There are some synergies...

Unintented Easter Egg it seems.

What do you mean by 50% when running and shooting? Shot on the Run? It decreases the hefty recovery malus you get when running - it doesn't reduce your normal recovery. I don't even know if you can reload while running. Blunderbusses have 0 recovery but reload instead. Or did I misunderstand you? Streetfighter's Heating Up works well with Powder Burns though.

Navratilova?

Haha - what the eff?

Haha - I didn't realize that it works out of combat. Please don't fix this for Hel's sake! It's so cool!

Geil!

Cool. Am not at home atm. Will add it later this evening.

The problem is that with char lvl 6-9 you cannot test all the mechanics.

You got something wrong. Or maybe I explained it poorly. Again: The +PEN of the Fury only works for the druidic elemental spells, correct. But Scion of Flame and so on stack with that PEN bonus - so your druidic elemental spells *can* have a +2 PEN bonus. The ranged attack of the Fury is shock based, it gets +1 PEN from Heart of the Storm. Bleak Walker's FoD is keyworded with decay + burn and gets +1 PEN from Scion of Flame AND +1 PEN from Spirit of Decay. So all your elemental spells with burn/shock/decay keyword will have +2 PEN and your FoD (not Eternal Devotion or Shared Flames) will have +3 PEN. The Fury bonus does nothing for FoD - but since Fury's bonus and Scion of Flame etc. do stack you might want to take some of those passives in order to stack PEN on your spells and give your ranged shocking auto-attack +1 PEN as well. And if you do FoD will also profit from Scion oF/Spirit oD/Heart otS. This I did try and test myself and it works. Makes a decent combo. Also because you can use Lay on Hands and Exhalted Endurance to circumvent the fact that Furies can't use Rejuvenation spells.

Does it have higher PEN though? I can't check myself right now...

Actually - I think that's a good idea. Tehehe.

Threads get deleted because of insults and personal attacks, NOT criticism. In nearly every thread you walk into you will insult somebody who doesn't agree with you - most of the time you will tell them that they are dumb or lack morality - or both. I criticized the first beta release so hard that it was even talked about in other forums like RPG-Codex or Reddit - that might have had negative impact on the image of the game - yet I never got a warning - and not a single post of mine was deleted. But usually I don't swear around, post hetz or attack people who disagree (it happens but at least I know how to reflect after a couple of hours and how to apologize). The Beta was only a very small portion of the game for obvious reasons (leakage of content and so on). As far as I can tell the bugfinding and -reporting was very good and most issues (there were a TON) got addressed/fixed by Obsidian. The community Manager (Aarik) is superb. The QA-people in the bug section were very nice as well. Can't say anything about the quality of their inhouse-work but the communication with beta testers was good. This game still has too many bugs, it's true. But I think it has less than PoE when it was released. Given that they redid the whole mechanics and added tons of new features it's normal to see a lot of bugs. Some like the import bugs are a bit embarrassing though. They shouldn't have passed QA.

Druid for double lashes with FoD + Wildstrike. Chanter for giving the party +35% lashes with Mith Fyr + Shared Flames. Priest for getting +80% lash with Spiritual Weapons. And so on... lots of options.

Maybe because Katharak sounds a bit like Vithrak.

Fury's attacks don't trigger Carnage. But Freny, Bloodlust and Blood Thirst are surely nice for speed up casting. What worked well was Bleak Walker/Fury. The attack jumps to an additional target and both get the lash damage. If you take Scion of Flame, Spirit of Decay and Heart of the Storm (you may want to because they will add +1 PEN to your elemental spells which already get +1 PEN from Fury) your Bleak Walker's FoD attacks will have +3 PEN. I went for Wildstrike Freeze because then you have four damage types with FoD: corrode from Bleak Walker's additional lash, burn from FoD, shock from the Fury's weapon damage and freeze from Wildstrike. Another option is to pick a ranger. Driving Flight works with the attack of Fury and gives you two jumps instead of one. Also Evasive Roll/Evasive Fire is nice with a Fury. A Troubadour can add a minor lash to your weapon damage and faster attack speed other Fyr + Sure Handed Ila) at the same time and at lvl 19 he can give you unlimited spell uses with the phrase that restores resources.

Percentages of conversions don't get added. Since they are rolled one after the other until one works (or none of them) the overall chance can be calculated like so: 0.7(Tenacious)*0.75(Intuitive)*0.85(helmet)*0.95(Lucky) - 1 = ~57.6% Even with 50% and 50% in the beta you didn't reach 100% but "only" 75%. But it's still good. I wouldn't pick Lucky though because it only raises your conversion chance from 55.3% to 57.6% and I think that's not worth the talent point in this case. However, Brute is really strong like Voltron said. I'm playing it right now with Whispers of Yenwood. Ouch ouch ouch! Tested Blood Thirst + Cleaving Stance via console and that's very nice. Comes late though.

Hm. It used to be so nice in PoE. There it had very high DR bypass. Maybe it has higher PEN than Minor Missiles in Deadfire?

No idea. It didn't count in PoE.

I added it to the build list.
